> And most people simply don't care

this is not true and insulting at the same time. Individual people are powerless against organized commercial activity, and, more than one million people in the USA are on payroll with uniform services, so they cannot object.

in addition, the throw-away word "terrifying" is also useless and annoying.. really

Exactly this. Anything individuals can do will be undone by state actors and social media and other corporations who are pressured by state actors.

I disagree: "terrifying" accurately sums up the future we're hurtling straight towards. I worry about people who are not worried, personally.

yeah - I worry a lot reading in this University town.. but the single word "terrifying" is overused by legal types trying to get reliable drama IMHO

It's absolutely an insult and frankly disheartening. And in order to get a word in edgewise you would have to rollup an entire decade of work into a simple cliche using appropriately PC keywords. Which is just as draining to contemplate as do.
