Hear hear! Why are technology people, who are supposedly intellectual, thoughtful people, so prone to unthinking political knee-jerk?

As much as such technology can suck for individual's interests when turned against them, there is just as much potential for benefit to individual interests if the technology can be aimed 180 degrees the other way.

What if all information corporations possessed about you as an individual were protected through some trusted execution environment, with only publicly vetted code operating on it? What if any individual could meaningfully revoke access to their information when corporations turned out to be evil?
