What&amp;#x27;s your point exactly?</text><parent_chain><item><author>nbzso</author><text>The disturbing thing is that instead of breaking monopolistic behemoths who are feeding their empires from our data, governments are offloading more power to them.

What is this? Because you have a digital gizmo, knowing all about you, you cannot comprehend the magnitude of situation? You trust a private corporation more than actual laws and government procedures and you feel right and cool?&lt;p&gt;You have nothing to hide and everyone is having your data anyway?
