Always knew we were screwed. Being a veteran you give up certain rights when you join up voluntarily or otherwise. Govt has everything on you. I don't worry about them as much as I worry about the selling of my info from Google and Amazon. Which I have had identity theft. It's no picnic.
Great pod, Rick, super informative. Anyone who's worked with data knows it's not that hard to identify individuals from multiple deidentified sets. That's why I was always nudging friends on twitter to stop posting their birthdates and cities where they lived. It's alarming.

Thank you!
We'll sleep well tonight, Rick.

Big Tech watches more than we want to know but really ought to know, including monetary transactions.
...and tech companies share data with one another even when users are cautious about privacy settings, VPNs, blah blah blah.
It ain't goin' away anytime soon, either.
Eyes open, shields up, fellow Voyagers.
Otto Correct is worthless, most days. 🙄
While I certainly agree with the sentiment about TFG, this is a pretty obvious advertisement to sell T-shirts. Am I missing something?
