Big corporations on the other hand, are in competition for my money. The more information they have about me, the easier it becomes to take advantage.
There ya go. Something that we can agree on. Do you have any ideas that might lessen the invasion of capitalist enterprise into our private lives?

It makes me wonder; If you work for a large corporation, it's entirely conceivable that they could be spying on employees, reading everything they post in forums and social media as well. Simple key word triggers would be all they need, really. Not that I would care. I say the same crazy things at work that I do here and everywhere else.

The double edge sword of technology, my friends. It's a Brave New World, indeed.

I am very fortunate to work in a place where my politics coincide quite evenly with my job. We are, however, a very small business.

Yes, I have ideas, but they're considered paranoid.

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you.
