Of course Snapchat and Instagram used filters to train facial recognition, but we weren't worried because it made our selfies look better and that puppy tongue was so cute.

Of course 23&Me was building a blood quantum database, but we weren't worried because we were curious about our background and it was just harmless fun.

We've been training a surveillance apparatus beyond the wildest dreams of any dictator this whole time.

We weren't worried because it's not like a bigoted authoritarian regime would rise and start abusing it, right?

...right?
