 Are you aware that the US and many other governments are storing absolutely all the data you leave on the internet?

From your history of websites visited, your comments on social networks, your photos, your bank details, your tax data, the calls you make, absolutely everything.

All that is stored until they need to accuse you of something or spy on you for some reason.

Besides, now, with the fake artificial intelligence, it is very easy to analyze this data and correlate them.

Humans have become very predictable thanks to all the data they have on us, the riots are over, the government has perfected the boiled frog syndrome to the extreme.

It's a bit hopeless, I think we will eventually end up agreeing with the unabomber.

Technology is making us more and more slaves. We need cryptography to protect us from the government, but maybe we should involute in some aspects, especially social ones. Return to the countryside and create a more atomized society with circular economies and cryptography.
