That’s an oversimplified version.

I can’t for the life of me understand how people are ok with companies like FB, Amazon and tiktok getting NSA level access to their lives. It’s crazy. Might as well get tracking devices installed with a 24/7 recording device straight into your brain.
How do you not think this is already happening?

It blows me away how people will fixate on privacy in one place when they have already given up more elsewhere. The Canadian COVID app is an example of this. People don't want to give up their data for an app like that when they have already accepted numerous companies tracking way more.

If you have a phone, your private data is not private.

Maybe your friends are just alt-right and want to avoid prosecution?
