Human are great at exploiting value Nobles made thousand of gold coin at using forced farm labor. Cheap price for military protection Coton industry made million at exploiting slave labor. Slavery is barely a nuisance Coal industry made million at exploiting child labor Modern industries made million at using cheap labor force Data mining company make billion at using user input Progress is so nice anyway. I mean, look at all the thing we can buy The guys is right: Privacy theft is objectively a small price to pay to buy the new phone delivered in 24h. And to see pic of my friend's cats freely. BUT... I wonder why he list google as provider of all Knowledge in the world instead of Wikipedia And youtube as entertainment Paradise instead of reddit, or the thousand of personal page you could find (once) And why he define progress by stuff being free, and not about improvement of health, justice, equity. May be google, or fb didn't help so much on that front (I mean, beside the nice virtue-signaling doodle of the day) Or the guy is perhaps a tad biased on its priorities? I realy dont care for my privacy if it's for more Wikipedia around and less of google or amazon. I guess I'm biased too
