    Why did we let them collect personal data? Why did we allow them to aggregate personal data? We did we allow deanonymization of data? Why are we allowing people to walk around with surveilance cameras in public?

      Collecting personal data predates the internet and social media. The technology just makes it easier and much more dangerous.

        I would definitely say most do not know how harmful these corporations are. Most people expect dangerous things to be illegal, or self evident like knives and guns. These are neither. Same with every other danger that magically goes unregulated or deregulated any time a piece of shit dumbass conservative gets power…

        Because morons don’t understand dangers. Especially ones that are not self-evident.
