    I feel like everyone in this thread is ignoring the literal headline.

    The point being made is that the consumer chose these rights-infringing, privacy-corrupting, ownership-destroying choices.

    Then OF COURSE companies weaponised it.

    The issue is that your average Joe doesn’t think for a damn second in his life, and picks up whatever is put down.

      Yeah, arguments that blank percent of people are morally good are insane since… Most people dont really think about long term morals of their decisions day to day if ever. Most people just live and do by convenience without asking if it is morally good but simply believing the self to be.

      It needs to be convenient to do good things for people to do them and the convenient option for a long time has been giving up ownership rights.

        Yeah … Morality is subjective… If the majority of a given population does a thing, that thing is moral within that population.
