yes

all modern fart products are listening to you

they have a file on all of us I'm sure

script blocker + ad blocker + facebook and twitter domains banned

but these are all half-measures, they eavesdrop on all communications and could theoretically have hundreds of seemingly unconnected websites that deploy cookies to track you in their name

that's what a phantom profile is or whatever they call it

they deduced the existence of literally every human, even if that human never used FB or google

exactly, but thats impossible to explain to people

nobody gets it that you dont have to use them at all, to have them profile you AND compile all that data into a nice little folder on you

and above all, virtually nobody understands that it doesnt take a psychopath to stand behind the screen and do that, automated systems do the job

yeah

for a civilization so heavily reliant on tech it's amazing how uneducated normal fucking retards are about tech

not only about tech, but their complete obliviousness to the fact that these companies are perfectly eager to break the law, bend the law and commit outright crime

yes

well the thing is new and novel tech is able to do things that people never saw a need to make illegal before

and it will take years before legislation making it illegal can pass, and whether it is even enforceable is up for debate

and the old crones that will vote on the law know even less about it than the average sperg

we are entering the age of techno-stalinism and nobody has a fucking clue about it

ah yes, the "lawmakers' we are talking about the bunch that every middle positioned microsoft employee can virtually outperform in the field of legal affairs three times over

yes

people have no idea their internet chats are being studied this much

check out that good old stalinist euphemism "mapping"

"mapping counter-revolutionaries" (so we can hold a civil debate with them lo)

I saw an article once explaining that shadowbans and other modern type censorship designed to make sure wrongthinkers never meet each other, was actually far more statistically effective and caused a decrease in their wrongposting compared to classical bans and reprimands

normal fucking retards do not even know shadowbans exist or what they are

they just think all their friends stopped talking to them

not that their ideas are suppressed by algorithm

the internet has become what all of us originally fled to the internet to escape from (normie retard hell)

I blame the idiots who are lending the entire machinery so much legitimacy by their greedy short-sighted simpleton mentality "we have to adapt hurr durr"

like now you are considered as a handicapped person if you dont want to make mark zuckerberg your owner while seeking a job

yes

they consider you a man without "skills' in the fashion that illiterate peasants were considered 60 years ago

not as someone with agency and self-respect

none of us have even the slightest agency or self respect today

that's my whole complaint against life

if you don't eat, breathe and sleep your tiny micro specialized task and do it better than literally everyone, you are shit, you are not a person, you do not deserve to exist

but that's no life

Yeah I never really succumb to apathy or complaining, but that in itself is a form of setting apart really

I started to observe this as a one big unholy process

Of which I even am prepared to admit i somehow make a part of, in some indirect, mystical way
