Punk decides to tell almost everyone that he's going to go get Zuck's trash then unsurprisingly fails to do so. Ends with a rant that privacy is now only for the very wealthy. Nothing interesting at all.

I agree in the abstract that the story is pretty predictable, but some of the details are a bit unexpected and worth learning, and you don't really know that this kind of security stuff is real until you see it for yourself.

Specific things that I thought were interesting:

- Trash on the street is legally considered abandoned and fair game for anyone to take.

- Zuckerberg's house managed to get its entrance blurred out on Street View.

Somewhat hilariously, half of Germany is blurred on Street View. People can just request it in some countries.

Thank you. Half way through and my patience was thinning. It was like an 8 year old trying to tell a story.
