I said "like the Kindle" in that it's clearly advertised what you're getting in the two different flavours. I didn't mean they track you. I was hoping to emphasise the clarity.

The issue is that anyone who willingly participates in Active Content Recognition systems has made themselves ineligible for revolution.

If they ever start watching anti-government propaganda, the government will know.

We've all read 1984. We know what happens.

The problem will always be your fellow man who believes the revolution is evil. I am convinced of this. In the face of that, this stuff is nothing.

1984 was the mid 20th century take. I'm pretty sure any current take would be focused on people's desire for authoritarianism.

So we should just go ahead and put always-on vidscreens in everyone's house then? Because people don't know any better?

It's an education problem. Pointing at an ignorant man and then claiming he should get what he desires is ridiculous.
