I don't think his response was "doubting" but rather disbelief. Given the circumstances, I would expect that.

Yes, I think this is just too dystopian for rational people to be allowing to occur. We've actually made intrusive, spying devices which laugh at their users. (Note, they're not owners, but just users of a service owned by a mega-corp.)

I think anyone who thinks that this is okay, didn't have their prescribed dosage of Max Headroom re-runs.

It is just too dystopian to be real. We can't seriously be running as fast as we can off this cliff, really people?
