What's this?

The whole world IS listening


And it isn't going to stop. We prize convenience VERY highly, and an interconnected everything is really damn convenient. Unless you plan on unplugging everything and living a cash-only existence in a 19th century log cabin in the middle of the wilderness, someone somewhere is keeping track of you.

Dropping Facebook or changing phones will accomplish very little.
