I know, right?

Unfortunately ignorance of the masses (myself included, and I try to stay current) let's them get away with this stuff.

Too many people say "well, I don't do anything wrong, so why be concerned", as if people have never been railroaded before (Ruby Ridge anyone?).

Seeing the kind of data I know is known about me is terrifying, and I've been working for years to reduce it. My current effort is a final degoogle.

Messaging is a tough one to crack, people still use SMS as much as I hate it.

I wouldn't really classify Ruby ridge as a rail-roading.

This is a guy who uprooted his family to move across the country so he could hang out with terrorists who shared Hitler-loving beliefs.

He then sold a sawed off shotgun to a man he believed was one of those terrorists.

We can definitely criticize law enforcement for every single they did from the inception of the case, but Weaver was not innocent.
