They already have all of that.
They did when you adopted smart phone and smart home technology, same with everyone else. They have it for most people because most people knowingly use corporate social media sites like TikTok, Facebook. Twitter/X, Bluesky, Threads, Instagram, and the like, and those are collecting data too.
We know this objectively because the FBI just released footage in the Guthrie case that shouldn't exist, and definitely shouldn't be hanging out in a government database either.
You're not protecting yourself or anyone by allowing these systems to access kids without any regulation whatsoever. I appreciate that it makes you feel good to think that you are, though.
They have the beginnings of it. The foundation of it. They don't have it all yet though. They're never satisfied with the level of control they have at any given time. They will continue to pursue more sweeping, more draconian measures until they either destroy themselves or incite the oppressed to do it for them. It's like saying the ultra rich aren't going to fuck us over for more money because they already have so much money.
You're wrong.
But that's okay. Thank you for the reply. I hope you a nice day.
Lol yikes. Well uhh, have a nice day as well I guess.
Thank you.
Not all. Government-proof systems (Signal and other E2EE things, federated things, many open source projects, etc.) are (mostly) not illegal.
