The problem is, you don't get a say in the matter. If the marketing company sells on your data, you don't get to say no.

If Ford wants telemetry on your car (and they do) and they sell it to your insurance company who raises your rates because you don't drive in a manner approved by corporate, you don't get to say no.

If you search for wigs and antinausea meds, and Google sells that to health insurance who guesses you've got cancer and are a financial liability, you don't get to say no, and you don't get to argue that you were planning for a party.

If you're a fifteen year old kid and your browser starts showing gay dating ads to your extremely homophobic parents, you'd better hope they don't put it together because you don't get to stop any of it.

You can control how your data is gathered, but you have ZERO say in how it's distributed and interpreted.

The story in the article about the guy who tried to get into the cockpit is amazing... he's lucky he didn't get himself killed by the other passengers. Since that little incident twenty years ago even Granny will chew on your face if it looks like you're pulling that shit.

Rogan is what happens when the barbarian doesn't have a miniature giant space hamster to whisper common sense into his ear.

Unfortunately, we know how this is going to go: "If you won't let us ban books from the library, we'll just ban the library."

How many are saying they won't vote for Biden, though?

Put another way: I'm not going to believe in a new product more than the vendor does, because that's stupid. And we've had it demonstrated time and time again that the vendors don't believe in their products.

I thought accepting a pardon was an implicit guilty plea and have up your fifth amendment protections. Couldn't they lean on him based on that?

Some aren't just ignorant of the Bible... they're actively rejecting its teachings.
