    Never underestimate how far they will go to track your movements, habits, etc. It’s not even about “the gubment spyin’ on me”. It’s about how valuable that data is to corporate assholes who like to target you with customized advertising, and resell your data, etc. (And yes, as a side-effect, the police can also sometimes take advantage of this ubiquitous data capture).

    We live in a time when even our stupid cars spy on us:

    It’s why they push the internet of shit so hard. Nobody needs a “smart fridge” but by god, they really want us all to have one.
