This age of being spied upon is either going to become such a norm that it will be weird that people had issues with it in the future

It’s like this now though. I’m apparently a total freak (outside of lemmy) for giving a shit about my privacy. I swear that everyone I know thinks I’m a conspiracy theorist. When I mentioned that Alexa listens to you when you’re not talking directly to it, I actually had someone laugh like it’s a totally absurd idea even though a two second search will bring up a million articles on it. Not to mention the lawsuits for when it spied on children.

People either don’t seem to care at all, or it’s just easier and more convenient to stick their heads in the sand. Which I guess is pretty typical for Americans at least. I will just never understand how anyone is ok with any of this.
