We don't want privacy, we want Netflix

Isn't it funny that people who worry a lot about their privacy often state their opinion on social media? Most of the time the location-setting on their smartphone is set to 'on' and it's not uncommon that they are the same people who oppose wearing face masks.

If there's one place where your privacy is not safe but in the hands of clever salespeople, it's on social media. Private companies and government agencies can easily check on your whereabouts just because you are too lazy to go to 'settings' and turn location 'off'. 

If there's one thing that throws off privacy intruding face recognition camera's, it's wearing a face mask.

Besides that: it's virtually impossible to keep all your data private. Even without using the internet, in our western countries there are about 300 people, agencies and companies that have access to your very private private data. Really. 


The cold hard truth is: we do not care about our privacy. We want Netflix.

We don't care about the privacy of other people. We want good deals on Amazon.
