That is why I am writing, people do not see it as an infiltration of not just the internet but of their mind and life, their possibilities.

And they do not understand how easy it is to control and limit someone if powerful people know everything about you.

That is why I am writing so much about it at my site and in my books: https://leanpub.com/thebookoflongformremixmemes https://leanpub.com/mentalselfdefense https://leanpub.com/expandeddefinitions https://leanpub.com/fourparables

What is also happening is that the people most capable of explaining why these tech and privacy changes are so dangerous and not worth the incremental convenience benefit, are excluded from "mainstream" debate. And also there are a ton of placeholding fake intellectuals still using gmail like Sarah Kinzior, and they are the only people who are allowed to get onto NPR.

A big key to it is that people have not seen how this can result in real world stalking, real world attacking of your life, which I have sadly been on the front lines experiencing for a long time now. I was stalked on the way home yesterday, it is very real. You do not have to be famous to be stalked, they are trying to make it so that you never get famous, and make you homeless.

And as yet, of the hundreds of journalists and "opinion leaders" I have contacted trying to share my experiences, none respond. Not a one.

Which is to say, everyone admits there is a vast surveilance net, but no one is admitting that they will use this to integrate undercover police into every aspect of society, covertly, and when anyone does see evidence of this, they are immediately discounted as a nutjub.

Until it is recognized that people like myself are targeted for long term programs of repression, you are missing most of the iceberg of this issue, and being as gullible as Gomer Pyle.
