    Of fucking course the government is tracking all this shit through a private corporation that’s owned by someone who doesn’t believe in protest.

    And yeah, buddy, we can’t afford a regular house much less one for fun on water. I hope he dies of kidney stones

    “Why not take advantage of information the bad guys share willingly online? After all, they have friends lists, too,” one SocialNet video says.

    *monitors random citizens’ pregnancies*

    This is acceptable. This is definitely normal.

    Side note for anyone with a few days and $2 to spare, Orwell is apparently on sale and I encourage its consideration. It’s literally what the government has decided to do, but with the player in the driver’s seat and it’s really good if you’re into stuff like that.

    Does anyone know the specifics of this app? Is it calling public APIs on these sites, or do they pay for special access, or is it just scraping. I feel like most of us aware of the data collection prob put very little public data out there. RIP babycenter.com they might lose a bit of traffic from this article.
