    People should pay attention to these incidents of corporate security-state forces performing these kinds of actions against individual targets. It is a matter of time before individual targetting expands to widespread activity. Such “intelligence services” in corporate organisations will expand in power in much the same way intelligence services expand in power in government organisations. They function the same way as the security state does.

      Err, we already have activity tracking software required by many corporations and unlike governments, corporations aren’t subject to many of the regulations governments are. Corporate communications are also available for automatic review as well as manual when needed. The future is now. Maybe not universally but at least in NA it very much is.

        Lmao the governmental security state isn’t subjected to those anymore than the corporate security state is. Best you’ll get is a limited hangout in 20 years.

        But yeah you’re not wrong that it’s bad already. But it’s gonna keep getting worse.
