There are more than 40000 individuals in Google in SV working to stalk you 24/7 and monetizing the data with different teams thinking up more ways and means to do it, other teams working on thwart any regulatory or other challenges to ensure business continuity, other envisioning a future in which they can grow this business unhindered.

This is an entire organization devoted just to this, and they in turn enable ecosystems of hundreds of thousands all interlinked driven by profit.

Yet on a technical forum which probably has a large proportion of people involved in this intimately as their jobs we do not have informed discussion, instead we pretend as if its not happening, or a one off by a 'misguided program manager', or the motives are 'benign' or unquestioningly accept self serving attempts to 'normalize' this surveillance dystopia.

This is an insult to informed discussion and enables an environment and discussions where blatant bad behavior is consistently overlooked and control of standards that benefit toxic business models are glibly handed over without scrutiny, skepticism or challenge. And then when one day one wakes up in dystopia some will wonder how it happened, this is a culture of delusion.
