If you don't have a sidewalk bridge but your neighbour half a mile away has one, your device will connect to your neighbour's bridge and send data to Amazon without you knowing
Uhhh. No.
im sorry how is this legal?
Corpo exception.
Also, maybe it isnt; state isnt gonna stop em either way.
correct me if im wrong, but a device trying to connect to the network in order to analytics. Which can't, which then defaults to a SECONDARY BACKUP mechanism, just to transmit ANALYTICS. Is basically just spying, and you cannot convince me otherwise.
I... Well I might try but only if it were funny. I agree. But its not effectively (and I don't think technically) illegal.
the fact that it isn't illegal is astonishing to me.
or at least incredibly frowned upon.
Why? Laws aren't here to protect you. The entire pretense of that is just to make you accept when the propertarian (and in most places white supremacist) gangsters want to walk into your community and disappear/murder someone they don't like.
It is frowned upon tho. By us. Others too, i bet, if they know about it. So what's the plan? Me, I just haven't bought a new TV since like 2014, but that's a personal dodge rather than a systemic fix, and it feels really trashy not having a solution for others, besides 'go without'.
I mean, the law literally states that we aren't required to house soliders in the time of war if we desire. It also asserts privacy and a certain level of personal freedom. I see no extent as to why this shouldn't extend to multinational corpos or at the very least, be explicitly clear.
Ultimately, i think we just need to get into government, and actually fucking do something about it.
"The system is broken! We must appeal to the system for help!"
That's insane and absurd.
The amount of effort required to make government do anything other than imperialism and genocide (and they will always half ass it) is always a substantial multiple of just doing it yourself. Stop begging, and letting their bullshit appropriate your desire for a better world.
ok then, let's go coup the government.
No that would still end up with a government. If I'm gonna risk my ass like that for something, its going to be something I actually want.
i have a theory that anarchy always ends in some form of government. I suppose you could have an anarchic government. But i would much rather have a difference government, with the same principles to begin with tbh. Anarchy is more of a driving force to me than anything else.
Everything always ends in something else. If it didn't, it wouldn't be an ending, or would violate thermodynamics.
The point is nobody being in charge, in shrinking authority while keeping coordination.
Well, that's a pretty good reason to break your neighbors shit.
