    Why give them the benefit of the doubt. Surveillance is exactly what they’re being made for.

    They hide behind the benevolent uses of technology and its disgusting how they go about it. I’ve been saying it before, tech is a modern religion. It’s been co-opted by those who use it as cover to do evil. They act as the gatekeeper as if the only way to tech utopia is through them.

    Think of the poor disabled children! You wouldn’t want to deny them the gift of sight would you??? Now wear the glasses and record everything and look at the ads. Or would you rather deprive poor blind little Billy over there.

    That shit is played. Trillion dollar tech companies don’t need anymore quarterly growth to do things like build assistive technologies. The world could have had this technology in particular years ago with no frills. Or any other type of technological aid.

    Zuck just needs another yacht or two. That’s what this is really about. Hiding behind the disabled like ghouls that they are. No different than those evangelical megachurch assholes who own private planes.

      Sir, to assume that money is the goal is short sighted. Control is the goal, money is just a tool to facilitate that. Control is addictive. The most addictive substance known to man.

      There is a reason they need all the computer components the entire world can manufacture for the foreseeable future. And it’s not AI.
