    Most likely it will all be bought and sold like everything in the world these days. No one cares about privacy or rights especially if it means millions of dollars of profit are on the line.

    The biggest take away from all this is … never ever trust a corporation with your privacy.

    Because eventually they will give up your privacy if it means they stand to lose millions or gain millions.

    Be careful and always leary of new services and conveniences that will affect your privacy because eventually it will be bought and sold to the highest bidder no matter how you feel about it.

        I guess I should have worded that differently … no one cares if you can maintain your own personal rights or privacy because corporations view your rights and privacy as just another commodity ready to be bought and sold.

          That’s how I understood it and what I’m agreeing with. It’s how companies like Cambridge Analytica came to be. How people came to be so manipulated.

          Corporations are only publicly as right or left politically as helps their profits and PR, outside of some exceptions with CEOs that overestimate their importance (see Musk).

          Disney repeatedly blames right wingers for the failure of their more diverse programming, yet removed/minimized John Boyega in the Chinese releases of the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy. They’re just one of the most obvious examples, not an exception or anything.
