I’d like to install microphones in your home & record everything you say. No, you don’t want me to do that? So why are you okay with one of the world’s biggest companies doing it then?

Oh gosh, afraid of engaging with a reply that ACTUALLY shows how unrealistic your comment is, so you dismiss me? That’s ok, plenty of others who can see what I said.

Let me repeat what I said: “People who are afraid of “giant corporations spying on them” should first ask themselves what are they protecting themselves against. Because 99% of the time, they probably won’t be able to come up with a concrete answer, just a vague fear of ‘What if?’”

I’m doing my part by killing and eating as many of these farting fuckers as possible.

Kinda furthers the point, no? We’ve got nothing else
