People get offended whenever I’ve said that even random app developers are part of the problem. They can’t or won’t see that what we have arrived at is a Kafkesque world. It has been death by millions of papercuts. The collective rush to make an “app for everything” was in net effect building a global surveillance dragnet. It was inevitable the aggregate of data would turned into an authoritarian system of oppression.
All you wanted to do was make a 99 cents a sale for your basic phone app. You blindly stuffed it with copy-paste analytics APIs that voraciously collect data from users without transparency at all. You insisted that these random data brokers are 100% super honest. Just trust them, bro. You ridiculed anyone of trying to warn people how reckless this is. Good job, guys.
You lost me there. Conflating a fictional future utopia with the product your trying to sell is cheap trick.
Anyone who uses this bad faith tactic loses all credibility. Post read and disregarded.
