@nixCraft@mastodon.social I have this theory. They make all of this in the name of profit, people get angry, so they surveil more to try to control the anger/narrative to protect the profit , people get angry, repeat. The thing is that loop ends up in more and more extreme things, on both ends, cookies, ad blocker, browser fingerprint, custom browsers, Face ID, city council complains, arrests, protests and on and on, until violence on either side is the only course of action
