All these "unintentional" tracking devices begin to look intentional.

[–] HCSOThrowaway@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Build a large enough catalogue of bulk data and anything can be used to track you.

We bought "It's just so we can catch the terrorists!" hook, line, and sinker post-9/11.

But when "terrorism" is redefined as "making people in power upset," we're in big trouble.

So don't say anything rude about Donald Trump or the FBI will seek you out:

I never bought it, I was raising immortal hell then. But as a collective, yes we did, and as a collective, we're sitting around moaning instead of doing something, anything, effective.

True, but your implication that I'm not doing enough while I'm sitting here complaining is just as well-served to the mirror.
