Hey mate, if they're interested in anything that l'm doing or saying
they've got to get out more. LOL.
Thats why I've got no problem with having google home/amazon smart speakers in my house....The government or big business isn't going to give 2 shits what I've got to say, not like I've got anything to hide lol.
It’s not an issue needing to get out more or you no having something to hide.
Business and government knowing absolutely everything about you and your family and friends simply isn’t a good thing. These mobs knowing your political and religious affiliations, your sexual preferences and perversions and other such private details provides them with too much strength to do whatever they want. Being bombarded by targeted advertising because some relative had a baby or other such thinks, is annoying enough. Not landing a job, not getting a rental, being denied entry to a shopping centre, etc, all because you’re not of the right
political or economic group, have the wrong beliefs or wrong mindset becomes much much more problematic.
Basically humans can become somewhat racist clicky groups which can be led by some not nice people… You just need a powerful person that pushes the right emotional buttons in such groups and you get loss of democracy, cancelled of freedoms and who knows what else.
We know what evil looks like as history has clearly shows us. Hitler killed millions just cause they weren’t part of the master race plan. How effective could he have been had he had access to huge databases to mine, facial recognition to identify the undesirables and their supporters. How many more could he have slaughtered. And let’s not forget Pol Pot who slaughtered 1/4 of his countries population. such things and not unheard of (to use a double negative).
Going back a few years, who would have thought the president of the USA would be involved in inciting riots and insurrection, would deny law, make up facts, steal and lie… What would such a president do if he got back in power, with even more data at hand? Would anyone who opposed his lies feel concerned, fearful even…
One doesn’t know what the future could bring, so one shouldn't want every aspect of their lives sitting within a database just waiting for some nut to mine it for nefarious purposes. Purposes that at this point in time we may be unable to envisage.
Privacy is a fundamental human right that is now being eroded at an alarming rate. Governments couldn’t do it because of public backlash but oddly private multinationals that seems to sit above governments get a free reign. We accept it because we thing that we have nothing to hide…
Wonder how many Jews thought they were safe on hearing the “stories”. They had nothing to hide until they tried to hide who they were. 6 million were slaughtered…
But it’s a car forum so if things go mad max pear shaped, as long as I’ve got a tank of gas I’ll be ok…
