| Tech Crunch |
Once in a while I see an article on tech crunch that makes me feel like leaving a reply to give people other perspectives than the already have. This article Selling Digital Fear was well written i must admit and honestly Josh makes some good arguments in his article and i agree. But I saw on comment that made me pause and think about his point and i decided to leave a reply
I don't have his permission to post his comment on my blog but in summery he felt that people should be more worried about the government spending lot of money to spy on citizens and rather shouldn't be worried about tech companies requiring their data in order to function.
So I left this reply.
Seems like you don't really get the problem with online privacy. The Government doesn't need to work hard on spying on you anymore they just ask your social networks to give all needed information on you as a matter of national security very simple. Companies like Facebook make their work so much easier. Think about it, if you feel people should be worried about their government spying on them then you should be worried about Facebook having all that information available. Secondly the government is not the one that runs America. It is the big and wealthy corporations (big tech companies included) that pay lobbyist to set the agenda for the nation. You cant deny it, its the big corps that rule and they know all about you. I agree with everything that Josh says but privacy concerns for users are bigger than that.
Your thoughts.
