Like, we all know they’re listening , but can we provide proof?
My friend was complaining about all the new super surveillance that will be government required in cars after 2027, and I said to him dude you have a stock android, you use every AI slop feature, you use a smart TV on your unsecured network, and uses x every day. They have everything they could possibly need on him. Oh and he posts questionable things to fb daily under his real name.
you’re ignoring the important part - who that’s coming from.
analyzing a new shit-sandwich from the shit-sandwich-shop to determine “does this one have shit in it” is a valid academic endeavor, but hardly something you’d spend one second of your life pondering.
I don’t think I’m ignoring that. The same standards for evidence that stop us from slipping into conspiracy thinking apply here, just the same as they apply to bigfoot, UFOs, etc.
What we have is people not liking McDonalds and calling it a shit sandwich over and over and assuming that somewhere along the way it was proven without actually checking, and then saying “well you know what’s in those burgers!”.
