He’s right and everyone knows it. It's pretty blatant and there have been lawsuits settle rather than go to a trial that would surely reveal the extent to which this thing that’s obviously happening is happening

I attempted to debunk that one here (an admittedly impossible task but I can't help myself trying): https://simonwillison.net/2025/Jan/2/they-spy-on-you-but-not...

OK wow that actually fits here. https://simonwillison.net/2025/Apr/23/meaning-slop/
It is irrelevant. The suggestion that spying is for advertisement makes no difference.
That idea only exists to create fake two-dimensional anti-capilist rethoric, which is a rethoric easier to put down than the fact that privacy does not exist anymore.
So, I am supposed to do this. To "correct you" and look very lunatic.
It serves, however, a very specific goal. First, it cannot be copied en masse. If this behavior is copied (even as a meme), it implies doom to the more easier to defeat anti-capitalist rethoric and the birth of a true 3D anti-capitalist rethoric. It can only be mocked (smoking guy pointing to a conspiracy board), but that mockery is getting real serious real fast now.
Can I dive deeper into the mechanics of how this is gonna go?
We had so many chances, of doing good. You all had so many chances.
