It’s pretty crazy, the generation born in the 1900’s-60’s understood the value of privacy. Would watch what they would say on the telephone back when it was the land line.people used to worry about wire taps LOL
I used to deal a "lil" cannabisIt’s pretty crazy, the generation born in the 1900’s-60’s understood the value of privacy. Would watch what they would say on the telephone back when it was the land line.
The Generation born post 1970’s has no awareness of the dangers of letting big brother into their home. They are oblivious to the consequences of giving up total control.
I’m glad PBS and others are trying to point this out.
I understand it can be cool and convenient to use this type of tech but there is always a catch to using their tech and that catch is all your data..i have one in every room. i dont give a fuck if they listen. its awesome that they can be used as intercoms..play music in every room at the same time during parties, etc.just having a gmail account..social media, etc... you are being spied on.. they are tracking every site you are on.. what you look at , etc. you cant escape it
Born in 70 but my folks (Nam vol in 66 & artist/hippie mom) were full on "never trust the man" and instilled a healthy (some would say robust) level of distrust of the government in me.It’s pretty crazy, the generation born in the 1900’s-60’s understood the value of privacy.

So I greatly disagree with your assertion that there is no escape.
There is always an escape ....
-Cut the cord go offline
-VPN / TOR / Cloudflare DNS / Proxy Chains (If you want to continue to use the web)
- do not buy/use their devices / website
Also you may want to touch up on the rise of Nazi Germany - the information they collected and how it was used for the takeover.
Operation Hummingbird - Night of the Long Knives
Every citizen should be vigilant of their privacy and protect it like they would protect their browsing history from their significant other.
More paranoid about being doxed on a forum by someone with a vendetta. I really have no issue with my Google devices. They're handy.I understand it can be cool and convenient to use this type of tech but there is always a catch to using their tech and that catch is all your data..

allHa. Friend of mine used to hate me saying "ok, Google, pause" every time I picked the phone up to them. Wonder how many of those calls were recorded?
unabomber called all this shit..he was right..but whatever. its not like i am a criminal to get hysterical over this where i worry about being listened to. having a computer or smart phone is just as bad as having these devices. your every movement can be tracked. they can track you by your cell phone usage, get your texts, etcthey are just listening now(we think)
but when will they be doing more?
AKA sending out some sort of harmful wave to affect our health or mind
anything cheap and mass marketed is usually done so for a reason
personally I don't trust
i understand this...and you can now be tracked without a device on you anywaysunabomber called all this shit..he was right..but whatever. its not like i am a criminal to get hysterical over this where i worry about being listened to. having a computer or smart phone is just as bad as having these devices. your every movement can be tracked. they can track you by your cell phone usage, get your texts, etc
i understand your point, but personally , i think ordinary people over react. no one gives a shit about normal people unless they are doing something illegal. keep yourself clean and youll have nothing to worry about. a lot of people get vpns and have no clue h ow useless it is. companies like comcast even if they cant see what you are doing will throttle you just for the unusual usage ..downloading a lot, etc. .. the government gives jeff bezos tax breaks...it could very well be to get access to echo devices, etc.. but who knows. i dont personally care because im nobody theyd care to look into like a criminal or someone important that they want to screw withi understand this...and you can now be tracked without a device on you anyways
not judging you...we will have to agree to disagree
Personally I leave my phone in my truck and turn it off quite often...I am not inviting google into my home or every room
We may just be in the "let's get them comfortable with this tech" phase...next phase may not be so innocent(no pun intended)
That Manifesto is loaded with truth and foresight
you should see the set up in my house. i basically dont have to lift a finger to do anything in my house. it is all voice command.. turning on lights, my tv, making phone calls, etc.. its awesome. one thing i will never do though is have anything involving smart technology associated with my home security system. im old school with house alarms, a backup battery and a live person calling. people who have the apps to set alarms, etc into their house with smart technology security systems can easily be hacked. that is something i would stay away fromNever seen the need for one of those devices.
These devices may eventually be used to silence free speech and persecute "thought" crimes...that is a real possibility...possibly already playing out on a mass scale elsewhere as we speak.i understand your point, but personally , i think ordinary people over react. no one gives a shit about normal people unless they are doing something illegal. keep yourself clean and youll have nothing to worry about. a lot of people get vpns and have no clue h ow useless it is. companies like comcast even if they cant see what you are doing will throttle you just for the unusual usage ..downloading a lot, etc. .. the government gives jeff bezos tax breaks...it could very well be to get access to echo devices, etc.. but who knows. i dont personally care because im nobody theyd care to look into like a criminal or someone important that they want to screw with
I prefer mostly manually operated stuff and simple...but to each their own, enjoy.you should see the set up in my house. i basically dont have to lift a finger to do anything in my house. it is all voice command.. turning on lights, my tv, making phone calls, etc.. its awesome. one thing i will never do though is have anything involving smart technology associated with my home security system. im old school with house alarms, a backup battery and a live person calling. people who have the apps to set alarms, etc into their house with smart technology security systems can easily be hacked. that is something i would stay away from
no doubt in the future that may happen but i doubt this will be a communis t country like that. at least not in my lifetime.. maybe when the newer generations become the majority and this country is completely pussified. the first sign of that will be when they successfully take away guns. that is when they will start taking more rights away. and then you cant do shit about it.These devices may eventually be used to silence free speech and persecute "thought" crimes...that is a real possibility...possibly already playing out on a mass scale elsewhere as we speak.
I don't do anything illegal anymore, haven't for well over 15 years...it isn't my actions that will ruffle feathers...Can't say the same for my potential thoughts and opinions.
Freedom of speech and Freedom of thought is what this is about.
This stuff is in the constitution, I know you value that.
Give an inch and you will lose a mile.
but personally , i think ordinary people over react. no one gives a shit about normal people unless they are doing something illegal.
