The thing that's amazing to me (and I suspect would also be to the founding fathers) is the rationale for the acceptance of "no expectation for privacy".
So basically, it's the frog in the heating cauldron. All that's required to steer a nation from its founding heritage is to just introduce changes slowly over time.
Typical in the news:
- Microsoft Pushing Windows 10 Install Packages to Windows 7 and 8 Systems Without Asking Users
- New Yorkers Without “Enhanced” ID Could Face Travel Restrictions From Homeland Security
- Garbage Trucks to Begin Recording License Plates for Law Enforcement
- Obama’s Unconstitutional Schemes to Nationalize Police
To be fair there are many factors here with privacy/spyware etc ,man's greed ie sales/profits and identifying what users like/prefer to buy etc, modern technology can help identify what users like or want, then those companies out there can focus on the interest of the users, the way the world goes round, telemetry etc is one way they can do this, business is business, for good or bad some of it is all to do with money/profits etc...
Do you think you have privacy when you leave your home, you know you really don't, way things are and virtually impossible to stop.
For good or bad just one way modern technology is used.
Then you have the security aspect of privacy which opens up another can of worms and human rights etc...
You or I could also argue for Microsoft up to a point ie telemetry helps them identify issues with the OS for the users, right or wrong the bigger picture is more complex then you think.
