The snorkeling there is terrible. Never seen a fish or any coral.

Just trying to make the point that the doomsday privacy predictions haven’t materialized, while everyday google and Ms and apple repel millions of hacking attempts - many of which would succeed against individuals trying to secure it themselves.

Not to mention the increased productivity and utility these services provide.



The doomsday already happened, it just wasn't televised. We live in a world where our TVs spy on us, our cars tattle on us to our insurance overlords, and our internet has more ads than a cyberpunk city skyline. All of our data has been breached, it's just a roll of the dice if our identity gets stolen and the all-important 'credit score' gets tanked into oblivion.

But that does not mean I should abandon my desire for privacy, tomorrow is a brand new day.
