What do you think of the discussion here? Do you still believe the sensational headline?

(Also way to prove my point)

the active listening article is very vague and apart from fantasizing about 24/7 surveillance everywhere for everyone it doesn't say a whole lot directly, so in my mind it's best to assume the worst case scenario

In other words you choose to believe what you want to believe and don’t care about facts. Neat.

I'll gladly believe something else if they claim something else, but their claims are very dystopian
