But $TECH_COMPANY would never allow this to happen, they care about your privacy, they’d never sell out to the State!
I am absolutely horrified at this completely unexpected development. Who would’ve thought that tech companies would sell your data to the government?? Definitely not me, I had no idea this was happening!
anyone who didn’t already know/assume this probably wasn’t much of an expert
Sorry who is surprised by this?
our grandmas
“horrifying the experts”
In the same way a jumpscare in a Slenderman game horrifies you, I guess. Like, you had to have known it was coming.
Wait, so I use a tech platform, which takes MY data, sells it. Then the government takes MY money in taxes to pay for it. So I’m being stolen from on both ends! It’s the classic criss cross heist!
Funniest part is when he says they are no longer doing this
If they are truly horrified, this is indicative of the intelligentsia being so far removed from the experience of the proletariat - who somehow fucking know this already and have for years - that they don’t deserve the title of “experts”. I doubt they’re horrified, simply obfuscating their complicity under a sheen of plausible deniability.
