Oh good USSR style spy on your neighbors is back for corporate monetization.

You know, I watched a few episodes of the English show Black Mirror about how technology is used for vile dystopian hellscapes like this but it got too depressing to watching after about 3 of them.

How long before this is directly tied to your social media by the companies that require access to your accounts?



Requiring access to your social accounts is laughable. Unless it's directly tied to your job, it's a signal to quickly and politely end the relationship.


Black Mirror was fantastic. I wish there were more episodes.
