Almost everything based in technology spies on everyone now a days and most people are alright with it. I don't understand why people are okay knowing this spying exists. Louis Rossman does a great job here showing us the disgusting tactics used by big corporations to gaslight people into believing them over what these companies are really nefariously up to.

for as long as society has the mentality of "i got nothing to hide" we are doomed

[-] dojan@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago

See, if you ever pull the trousers down on people who say that, they suddenly start caring a whole lot about privacy!

May I please hide my sex life from car manufacturers?

Like I get the whole lack of privacy these days but I think most people assume that’s a privacy they have

[-] dojan@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

No. You don't even get to own the car you buy from them, why would you get to own your sex life?

You'll own nothing, and be happy damn it.

It really does feel like they’re daring us to do a communism sometimes

[-] SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 years ago

This is capitalism, not communism.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Yes, under communism you own a portion of the means of production

See, I am of the view that there should be a list of people who have this mentality and their data is updated live and publicly visible to all to see, and I mean EVERYTHING. Of course I'm not calling for someone to just hack systems and publish user data, but instead people get free services when they sign up for to be part of this list.

Then we'll see how many "have nothing to hide"
