This is a normal post I'd like to watch it but probably never will
Any chance of a summary?

This is a normal post All your stupid smart devices are constantly reporting your behaviour to google analytics and worse,
your phone and tv and web browsers, extensions, AIs, and stupid smart assistants are literally spying on the things you say and do.

All this info is collated to build a model of your beliefs and behaviours so that you can be advertised to, blacklisted for insurance, and politically manipulated.

If this was being imposed on you by an overtly authoritarian government you'd naturally oppose it, but because it's all technically opt-in and you pay for the privilege, you are psychologically motivated to support your own digital enslavement and resist efforts to free you from it.

The solution, other than the obvious one, is to create a IoT blocking firewall for your house, but most people will not bother which is why we need governments to legislate on behalf of the public good, but that's very hard to do because the technocunts lobby governments and bribe parties, etc.

Sorry was busy today but this sums it up.

Essentially you purchase a marketing spy and pay to give it power and data to spy on you.

If we were marketed an open sewer running through our homes we would say no however the majority blindly dont mind airing all their dirty laundry and ceding all privacy for convenience.
