@jalefkowit "I have a constitutional right to my privacy. I’m a law-abiding citizen, and I don’t need anyone sticking their nose in my business. And if they do, I’m going to chop it off."

Same (except I'm more gay about it).

@alice Some time ago, Google realized they could make super tall stacks of money recording and reselling (with minimal obfuscation) every conversation a person has, be it email, private messaging, one-sided search, etc.

The goal of every "tech visionary" since then has been to find a new unmonitored conversational niche to capitalize on.

Google currently does this with conversations recorded from people in the same general area as a phone (a public conversation, but not one the participants would reasonably expect to be shared with ten thousand advertising companies). But hey, it's cool, it lets Google serve ads for baby clothes/accessories to people who don't even know they're pregnant yet. Progress! Super creepy, but they've coerced consent by being the biggest game in town, so it's okay (legally).

Meanwhile, bottom feeders like Evan are both incapable of respecting consent -and- incapable of coming up with an original idea. He's a tech visionary though! Big time, 4real!!

What a sad little person.

@therivercrow never thought I'd see quences getting consesd, yet here we are.

(I'm all for this)
