Last night, after avoiding the documentary "Citizen Four" decided to watch it. Part of me thinks Ed Snowden wanted to show the world how brilliant he is, masterful watchdog exposing the evil government.
On the other hand he did expose how the government spies on our private information. Yet so do all the big tech companies and every business we do business with. I guess it didn't bother me so much, since I really have nothing to hide. If I were doing something illegal, hiding $$ in the Cayman's or planning a heist, ok I'd be super offended.
Finally, California passed a law that online users can opt out of information sharing in spite of the heavy handed lobbying the big tech companies did to stop the law. At least, Californians have the choice if they want their shopping information shared. I use adblock, so the ads don't bother me. But my buying searches mysteriously end up in my e-mail, which is annoying. I just delete them. NBD.
Do you think this will become a federal law?
Monitors: not a political statement
