From Infidel753:
Like most people, I’m concerned about protecting privacy. Just as happens in politics, those who hope to profit from invading privacy seek to undermine our morale and paralyze us by convincing us that it’s already a lost cause. I recently read this essay, which is a good example of the “they’ve already won so you might as well give up” school of defeatism-mongering.
It asserts that Google already knows a terrifying amount of personal information about me, and that there’s nothing I can do about it.
