Re: Why is this article about abortion?

maybe now it "matters" to the younger generations who previously didn't give a rat's ass that Google, Apple, Facebork, et al, were making a mountain of cash from selling (or at least harvesting) every bit of data they could find. So long as they got their "free" stuff, they were happy. But now, all that data harvesting has the potential to impact their day-to-day lives in ways that "matter" to them, so it's an "Issue of Importance of The Day". At least until Google, Apple, etc, smooth things over by grandstanding and promising to make changes to minimize the problem, then it's back to head-in-the-sand watching cat videos and posting pics of lunch.
