Originally this was a reply to this article about a Windows feature called Recall, but there's a good argument the author's concerns resonate far beyond Windows and Meta to proprietary generally.

I'd be leery about posting anything on any platform, especially one that has even your email or other personal info attached to it. Even on a random day that I go browse ahem the other place, I don't really comment anymore. I don't even have my email tied to that account, but I don't trust spez's greedy little pig boy ass, and I'm doing my damn best to fly under the radar while they build their databases. Nor would I trust MS, Google, or even Apple to not be tracking every thought and action online for resistance monitoring.

Well, if they want to intimidate everybody who says anything anti-Trump...they're going to be very busy. What I'm worried about are leaders of movements.

intimidating everyone is a lot of work, but having them on the list can be useful to disperse wherever they plan on doing next, or purge attempts to organize in a more decentralized way.

it can even be used to manipulate or target certain cohorts with propaganda and stuff in a way not possible before, or nab them off the streets. surveillance brings control.

Manipulated, you say? With propaganda?

Well, clearly this is a bridge too far! The Trump administration can never get away with this!
