MODERATORS
Well, to be fair it's also proof that people do not value privacy, and that the means by which actual privacy can be obtained are few and narrow.
It also really drives home the fact that our systems of IDs, licensure, taxes, property purchase, etc. are designed for an analog 20th century world. We need new systems based on modern technology, bit not in a way that simply contracts out to the very companies that put us here.
They'll be forced to care when their freedom's inevitably on the line (in the states)
You can't force people to care or act in their own self interest. The US will sooner adopt the metric system and mandatory digital IDs.
