All is fair in love and war?

Things are obviously getting a bit ridiculous. Part of me thinks that something awful is going to have to happen before society stops these companies from pursuing everything they feel they need to.

Hopefully it won't be too late when that realisation becomes crystal clear to the majority.



This is what I think as well. Every day we hear about these companies doing scummy stuff to get more and more user data.

I am hoping for a massive leak/scandal/Snowden moment when they finally cross the line and something happens that the lobotomized masses actually care about and cannot ignore.

Hopefully we end up with some sane legislation about how much mass surveillance of citizens by private companies is ok.
