Almost everything based in technology spies on everyone now a days and most people are alright with it. I don't understand why people are okay knowing this spying exists. Louis Rossman does a great job here showing us the disgusting tactics used by big corporations to gaslight people into believing them over what these companies are really nefariously up to.

How?

  • I don't know how but they obviously know a way. There are so many ways for your life to be pieced together by many algorithms online all collecting bits of data that are then sold to create effectively, you.

So it actively listens in case someone says out loud they're a communist?

  • If there are microphones in the car then I absolutely believe it will listen to you. Many companies and apps do this already. Think of a time when you mentioned something and now you get an ad for it. And you're right, that shouldn't be part of your purchase order.

Soon AI will be watching my skin over time so my insurance can deny claims

  • China already does this with a social credit system. I wouldn't put it passed any other governments that already show similar tendenancies.

I guarantee this means, in part, that they're literally measuring your dick

  • Telsa is in a lawsuit currently for employees looking at nude videos among other things from peoples car's cameras
