Re: "All in the name of safety"
Not to remind everyone of that famous saying about exchanging liberty for safety, but that's exactly where we have ended up.
There's some question about this... was the liberty given up willingly or subversively? And what is the safety we get in return? I see our liberties being stripped but no real "safety" in return. The only ones that benefit are those in power, be it government, advertisers, data hawkers... the Zucks of the world.
Some say we have choices but the reality is that those days may be long gone. FB sucks up even non-members info whenever possible. Google, et al, do the same. It's very possible that the genie can't go back in the bottle as he/she has gorged themselves to point that they're too large, too secretive to return to it.
