I'm a tech worker.

I'm given a promotion for adding invasive features based on "insights".

I'm incentivized to create something patent-able to restrict competition.

I'm rewarded for more detailed metrics to reveal more.

I'm hired by how many people were affected by my previous work regardless of ethics.

There is no reward for protection, privacy, and restricting access to data.

I could be laid off at any time. I could miss payments. I could be deported.

What's a little more really hurt? Everyone is doing it.
