@darius yes, this! we're running an interview with sarah t hamid of the carceral tech resistance network for our next logic issue, and one of the *snaps* things she talks about is how this threat of surveillance capitalism has shifted the focus of surveillance to "oh creepy" instead of looking at the specific threats posted by specific communities of surveillance. this seems like a concrete example of that—focusing on privacy broadly, as opposed to the impact of that lack of privacy specifically
@christa Right, it's like, sure it's important to care about third party trackers but maybe put similar energy into think about cases like spyware installed by a loved one. It kind of mirrors the issues around abuse prevention irl, where people are incredibly worried about abuse/assault from strangers when most abuse/assault comes from literally inside the house.
