Opening our devices is willfully subjecting us to attack after attack after attack from applications, websites, and devices that are built to make us do things for them rather than operate with dignity and freedom that much of the internet was actually founded upon. These millions of invisible acts of terror are too often left undiscussed.

Because accepting the truth requires you to accept that most of the tech ecosystem is rotten, and that billions of dollars are made harassing and punishing billions of people every single day of their lives through the devices that we're required to use in order to exist in the modern world.

Most users suffer the consequences, and most of the media fails to account for them, and in turn, people walk around knowing something is wrong but not knowing who to blame until somebody provides a convenient excuse, like immigrants. Like the Democrats. Like whatever fucking works because we can't actually call the people out. The corporations crushing our existence.
