OK, on to the comments...
First of all. Yes, I do live a crazy life. And I don't want a listening device in my home. I live at the end of a road in the middle of Nowhere. Risk management is something that I think about all the time. You could call me "careful"
Second, It is the totality of the information being saved that is disturbing. Once it is saved. Who, when and where it gets used/brought up is the question. So many what ifs. Information is power.
Be careful with the convenience of technology being invasive on our Freedoms. It is a double edged sword. |
Thanks!
It is that very same technology that gives you many of the freedoms so double edged sword is very appropriate. The totality of the information being saved presents no danger as 99.99999% of it is the meaningless drivel of daily life. That remaining very tiny bit probably is mostly used for valuable purposes (updating services, developing products, etc) leaving such a small chunk that could be harmful if anybody should even
want to use it that there really is nothing to fear. The places collecting that data are not malicious nor out to get anybody. So what if they make money from it doesn't everybody work for a place that makes money somehow?
I think we may be pushing the boundaries of what could be considered "politics" here though so I am bowing out of the conversation now. Have it me conspiracy theorists.
