It’s funny how those who refuse to participate in highly data invasive activities are thought of as crazy or paranoid at the time but news that vindicates them years later just gets shrugged off by almost everyone in general.


Why wasn’t there someone in the room to say, “Darrell, shut your fuckin mouth, I’m sick of your shit, you are a such a deep - seated fucking asshole” when he proposed the idea of using a kids game to harvest data for drone strikes? That’s really where this should have ended.
