Yep this was my first gut reaction to this whole situation. But the difference for me is that society is allowing these corporations to act without strict rules on how they behave and this is a byproduct of a corrupt world. Nothing will cha

Im not sure if you read up on the situation, but the current smart TV's surveillance functions are way beyond what anyone should have to deal with. They scan and connect to near Wifi devices to send data without consent There is commun

The article reads more like a reverse psychology article directed at the public rather than a real criticism of mass surveillance. It's almost as if they want to convince their audience that the practice is justified. The article spend

One of the things that bother me is that a lot of their language around the tracking technology is "We don't do x with it" But that doesnt rule out someone thats not affiliated with LG to use those features to perform various

That's exactly the way I framed the relationship between Microsoft and its victim in a companion article[0] I wrote in 2025 looking back on my switch to Linux. Since then I started realizing how parasitic the proprietary software indus

Ohh. But doesnt it push and control legislation? If it was just a standards body, couldn't countries governments just approve or deny recommendations at will? It seems like its operating as a government too me, but maybe I am not seein

> Passkeys sync automatically across devices signed into the same Apple ID, Google account, or Microsoft account. Do you have to be in one of those ecosystems? because I am on neither.

The problem for me is I am on Linux devices and I can see this being a solution that will start to lock people out of there accounts if they don't have an approved device...

Its not just that. We have cronie capitalism. The problem is within.

> lawful access I have heard this term used before. I think in the chat control stuff. Its a red herring term. More like unlawful access and they don't want people to suspect that they are trying to illegally break and harm communic

There are people in the background that are benefiting from all this and it seems to me that its not limited to just one country. Someone knows that weakening all of these systems globally has a lot to gain.

I still dont understand how a thing that passes this way has any legitimacy? Cant the EU just not allow it to be enforced?

>But for many states, they have significantly greater power by virtue of being in the EU than they would without. Arguably, even the UK lost power by leaving. What kind of loss of power are you referring to?

Can you please explain to me why you think this is the case? Can parliament make law or not? Why is the commission the only body that can make law? Its staffed with people that appear to serve special interests. I saw this during the Stop K

This is exactly what people engaged in surveillance capitalism is trying to achieve. Sell hardware/software at a loss, push out the competition that does things legitimately and then continue there engagement in profiling everyone for
