Someone should invest some serious money for a big ad campaign that explains the state of privacy of 2026 to people. From online tracking and fingerprinting to cars and street cameras etc.

Governments could do it. Or tv stations.. (“the more you know..”)

Tell it like it is and perhaps fewer will elect to consume crazy conspiracy theories. And instead make better life choices.

There is no profit in privacy, but there is in exploiting people’s secrets.

What? Govts wants everyone (except politicians) to have no privacy.
