Tech companies have gotten a free pass to collect our data without our knowing about it, and selling it for almost any purpose. That is not right. But because the government also wants the data, they do nothing to stop it. The government will come up with a solution that allows it to still spy on us. But may stop others from doing it. And they will come up with a solution that allows the government to control the news narrative. Its just a matter of time. I suggest people just stay off Twitter, FB and the rest.

This market is enormous! It dwarves anything the government does. The data is bought, sold, traded, domestically, internationally even interplanetarily wouldn’t surprise me!
