    So is it bad cuz there’s loopholes to spy on us or is it bad because of who has access to the loopholes?

    Gonna be real with you bro. I know the govt is spying on me. And I don’t care. They can have my music preferences and what I watch on youtube. What games I play. I don’t care. I promise I’m very boring.

    It just doesn’t matter. At all. Dramatic spy novel nerds will talk about HUMINT and leverage. Totally dude. Please. Share my porn preferences publicly. See how far it gets you. Lol.

      Such a fucking moronic take.

      Hey guys. I don’t lock my doors either! Why let someone you don’t know run rampant in your personal space is beyond me. It’s insane imo.

        Speaking of moronic takes. Yours.

        Apples and avocados. Dumbass.

        They’re spying on all of us. We can’t do anything about it. Thanks George Bush.

        I just don’t care which govt does it. In fact I’d prefer the Chinese govt. At least they’re not actively making my life worse year over year.

          Your comparison is a false one. You do not have to be spied on. You are accepting it.

      Ultimately, arguing that you don’t care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don’t care about free speech because you have nothing to say.

      Yeah it doesn’t matter now. Do a little research on fascism and how tolerant they are or anything seen as “outside the norm” (with the “norm” being a strict set of behavior that the regime finds acceptable. On that day).

      Eventually, they absolutely will care about those preferences, and they will separate (and probably execute) people based on them. This isn’t anything new.

      You’re making this absurdly naive assumption that the people taking your data are doing so to protect you.

      Anyway, get in contact with me and we can set something up so that every single conversation and button press on your phone is instantly sent to thousands of people for review. Shouldn’t be a problem, right?
