>It is unconstitutional and wrong, it also sets a precedent, how long before the FBI finds out someone politically unpopular is being "investigated" another nice thing is that once they take your money good luck affording lawyers fees.

I absolutely agree

People who are already privileged enough to work from home need more incentive to buy into services they used to use. Idk
The pandemic killed a lot of good bets at Soft Bank. The rogue wave was not kind to anyone.

I cant even access my streaming services without being snooped on per the 'privacy agreement.'

Essentially my tv is bricked outside of traditional cable.

I dont use or set up voice commands but the privacy agreement allows them to store my voice for voice commands without setup.

If I dont agree to the privacy statement I cant use my paid for streaming services.

Life in this century is a total joke.

I will never get another smart tv and I hope the trend dies.

>Let's make it very, very expensive again.

That is a small goal of GDPR.

Well it will probably be an arms race between time, money, and efforts to mislead all data aggregation. Dealing with paid ideologues will be more difficult and harmful. With the past years hacks I don't see our databases being free of fouling.

Busy people will never get anything done otherwise. Not going to happen.

Jesus why isn't this front page news?

Every time this happens it is a chance for us to figure out how to avoid this. Due to climate change this will only get worse.

People shouldn't have to 'just buy more provisions and you'll be moderately more ok'.

No it will take time to characterize the effects. Today we know exactly how and why it was designed.
