That’s less of a concern over the corporate actors who have infiltrated our houses.

Even if it was completely secure, they would still have access to this information and that would be by utilised by a state in some capacity against us.

Every device we have is sending our data to these companies, our homes and streets are full of Orwellian Telescreens surveilling our every move. It’s inescapable and as the means for them to better amalgamate and act on this data increases, the bleaker our future becomes.
