That is absolutely what has BEEN happening!

All throughout the 2010s there was a battle for net neutrality. We lost that fight.

Then they put in the scanners for TSA that take full body nude photos whenever you fly. You can "opt out", but they intentionally make it a hassle, and make it feel like YOU'RE the asshole for not wanting yourprivacy invaded like that.

Then all the appliances in your home started getting smart, so the internet was slowly becoming less of a luxery, and more of a requirement. Let an entire generation grow up without knowing a world without internet.

Then comes the tracking. We're entering this phase now.

And eventually you'll be isolated from society if you don't consent to being tracked.

I have never had a facebook account. Yet facebook knows my name, my face, my phone number, my address. All of this was never consented by me. You know who did consent to it? My mom. She put me in her contacts list on her phone. She willingly entered all that info, uploaded a photo, and saved it to her phones contacts. Then she downloaded the facebook app. Which promptly asked her if she'd like to import her contacts list into her facebook contacts.

And it's true that officially facebook isn't technically part of the government. However, these mega corporations are all in bed with the government. Whatever they want, under this corrupt fascist government, it's theirs for the taking. Nothing a little bribe can't solve.

And now you got ICE out on the streets, downloading databases of who they want to oppress, where they live, what they look like.

It's ALL connected. You are a frog slowly boiling. You don't think the water is hot because you keep getting used to the tempature increases.
