What ' s so shitty about that ? <| sep |> Oh , for the excitement , I see . <| sep |> Profit isn ' t the target . Getting data for marketing is . It ' s not for no reason that spyware gets preinstalled on their devices . It ' s also not so government can spy on anybody . People who think that they are under surveillance but aren ' t doing anything to justify it , like CP or terrorism really need to get their heads out of their anal passages . Why should government care ? No . It ' s marketing companies that want your data . In the 1980 s it was said that every person on the planet had roughly $ 400 us spent on them in advertising per year . Okay , except that ' s for nontargeted stuff like television and radio ads , and that ' s not particularly cost effective . Finding out someone ' s age , rough area where they live , and maybe half a dozen hobbies or interests allows the marketing company to only play specific ads to them , ads that are targeted to the person ' s demographic . As far as digital surveillance goes , Hanlon ' s Razor . Don ' t attribute to malice what could just as easily be attributed to carelessness . They ' re not out to get you they ' re out to get your money . They don ' t care about you . Whoever they areEDIT looks like there ' s some people in here who need to get their heads out of their anal passages
