the losing bargain of security in exchange for freedom
I believe that many of the things that are happening right now are not a work of coincidence.
Every time you hear about exchanging your freedom for security, do not be mistaken - you are being gaslighted into delivering power in the hands of authoritarianism. The clock is already ticking - in the UK, the internet is already being regulated to the teeth with the need of proof of identity to access some websites. The company with a LOTR reference name is showcasing the US government how to power AI to help with mass surveillance in order to check for potential terrorists and the likes. We already walk around with a device with some high powered microphones that understand when we say a brand to show targeted advertising. This evolved into sunglasses. The new Airpod can monitor your heartbeat.
How much data are they collecting? How are we letting this happen?
And I'm sorry but this time I don't have any advice in how we go around this.
I just wanted to share that this is like being in the audience of a shit show that you are locked in the theater and forced to watch.
God help us.
