A couple of great quotes from Snowden (npub1sn0…jdv9)'s Permanent Record.
“The America, I returned to felt like a changed country. Every other word was the name of some TV show or movie I didn’t know, or of a celebrity scandal, I didn’t care about. … grow up do your work pay your bills.”
“The data we generate by living or just by letting ourselves be surveyed while living would enrich private enterprise and impoverish our existence in equal measures. … Corporate surveillance was turning the consumer into a product that corporations sold to other corporations, data brokers, and advertisers.”
The cloud component everyone ignored in the early 2000s also applies to #Bitcoin and crypto.
