Not to Sound Like a Marxist…

I’ve pretty much gotten used to the idea that I live in a budding corporate police state. I’m not necessarily okay with that, but all things being equal, there’s also not much I can do about it. From ISPs to email services to usage tracking to satellites and wiretaps - and now the story, corroborated elsewhere, that Microsoft has effectively deputized itself into a law-enforcement role - I feel like it’s easier to just assume that privacy is primarily an illusion unless I totally unplug and don’t leave the house.

But apparently that’s not going to be good enough for long. At least, not unless the military wises up and starts listening to James Cameron. Or does nobody remember SkyNet? To recap:

Cameras, ‘bots, and prying eyes I can avoid with only a little bit of inconvenience. Terminators are another story entirely.
