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 government what you eat. And they're rolling out new surveillance tools like it's going out of style.
But here's the thing — corporations don't do this for free. They sell the data to advertisers, insurance companies, political campaigns. Your biometric information becomes a product on the dark web. And nobody seems to care because we've been gaslit into thinking convenience is worth the cost.
At what point does "smart" become "controlled"? At what point are you no longer the user of your own devices but just another node in their network? This isn't science fiction — this is happening now, and we're going along for the ride like it's normal because nobody wants to be the first person who calls their phone company out.
