@mysk @tuxicoman : the point here is not what is technically happening right now.

It is philosophical: if no reasonable user should expect privacy, they will invade that privacy. They will use those data against you. They will sell it. It’s Chehkov’s gun: any gun on the wall in the first act will be fired during the third act.

(well, one might argue that they already do. The fact that they do it less visibly and in a more closed way than Google doesn’t make it less bad).

Maybe we diverge @ploum from the subject. I don't know.

The day I realized government put 'recording' mode on all I thought ephemeral:
- sms & calls
- smartphone position
- ip connections (hadopi black boxes, internet providers logs)
- identity to take public transport
- car movement (with cameras recording plates on every main road)
-Tomorrow will be face&body movement recording.

I think we lost. Except hackers than can communicate secrets at exponential costs.
