    For me there is a huge difference between being tracked via a browser which you can choose, and having it as an inseparable pert of your operating system. The main spy obviously is social media......use Facebook and you end up with a Trump or Brexit, it's that simple

    That's how it works. First they get the power by giving away free things or claiming it is for doing good/protection, then they abuse the power. Americans sat on their asses while the government infiltrated society through the tech companies, now Americans are slaves. Say something wrong using your real identity online and its all over for your life. You get flagged and put in the DHS database as a "potential threat", which then extends to the real world like being mysteriously harassed at the airport by the TSA, police harassment, being denied credit, fired from your contractor job, not allowed to go to concerts (funny, but real, some people are banned from going to public events after making threats online), etc.

    It's the other way around. Elect Trump-Clintons and you get Facebook. The tech companies work for the government. Don't be naive. Trump didn't start any of this. It started after 9/11 with the Patriot Act. Obama signed onto it, Clinton is the same as Bush, and Trump is just a puppet.

    Yeah, they don't even hide it lol. Many apps that use geolocation but don't need much precision force you to turn on Google's gelocation but not the GPS. Hilarious...

    I wouldn't go that far. Trump has been a multi-billionaire for a long time, no multi-billionaire is a puppet IMHO.

    PS. with the only exception of Steven Slate, of course.
