Folks, let me tell you something about technology. Every year it gets a little more invasive. Your phone tracks your location even when it's off. Your smart fridge tells the insurance company if you open the door at 3am. And what do we get in return? More ads. More surveillance. Less privacy.

And nobody gives a shit. They're all on board with this. The tech bros are making billions while regular people worry about their data being stolen by another breach.

I'm not even kidding, my credit card info was compromised last month and I only realized when I got charged for something in a country I've never been to. And THAT'S the "free" we get with our personal data.

Meanwhile Apple and Google are rolling out new features that give them EVEN MORE control over your device. They want you addicted so they can sell you more stuff. It's not a bug, it's a feature.

And what do we say? "Well at least my stuff works." That's the argument corporations use every time.
