    We should have legislated a electronic bill of rights, but people felt comfortable because you could technically retain your privacy if you were aware of better options.

    Privacy enthusiasts will one day run out options and will join the rest of the normies in the dragnet. Those flock cams are probably the sign its already happened.

    The rot has spread to far. Amputation will no longer save us.

      Amputation isn’t the way, misleading is. They receive your data, but wrong data, there are always several possibilities to blur your profile by apps and also by your activity.

    Do people not realize you can get pretty much everything you can get on Amazon on eBay and frequently for cheaper or without the “You have to buy $35 worth of stuff to get free shipping” clause? Or same with Costco for a lot of stuff for that matter.

    Just make a conscious choice not to feed the troll.

    When I get packages delivered by any courier company they take a photo of the package at the door and the front of the house as proof. How is this new? And yes, use the lockers if available for Amazon deliveries or use your work address I guess.

    Google does this: “wow best thing ever look at the cranks getting upset. No privacy in public places. Thanks Google.”

    Amazon does this: “wow worst thing ever–they’re not even letting me look at the data.”

    Daily reminder: you’re sharing a video hosted on YouTube. Inconsistency and lack of logic will get us to privacy one day. Keep at it gang! Chins up! Port paddle in reverse! Starboard paddle straight–we’ll get there in no time! Such enthusiasm!
