T_mobile doesn’t force its users to get their credit card, or force them to use it, or force them to enlist their friends and family to get one.

If Big Tech has their way, all of these things and Andy Rooney will be yours in less than 60 minutes.

it doesn’t look like anything to me

not for lack of trying

Americans still get confused about how the Democrats and Republicans swapped ideologies entirely many decades ago.

a) yes

b) what I find really concerning is that they may have already figured out how to change people’s behaviour: what they think is funny, what they think is appropriate to say/do, where they want to travel to (if at all), how they feel about certain celebrities they like or dislike, what is believable or not believable, how they feel about certain politicians, who to vote for. Some people are probably more easy to sway on certain topics than others are. It’s not a stretch to guess that they probably already know various paths to make individuals into something they currently are not.
