Re: Oh, you can opt out. Trust me.
Why opt out? Chrome? Looks good to me. Gmail, can pass. Search...yep..that'll be fine. Android..yah..fanks...
Can't say I'm a fanboi, but, why knock a free OS? Sure, it could do with some more security updates, so that only Google can get the info...
I still don't get the worry, personally.

So what?
Publish it. Who cares. Full broadcast. I don't care who knows where my car, or myself, have been.
Can't do any harm, can it? Oh, wait, you're thinking robbers and stuff, and your house would get done...well, get cameras everywhere..see them get round that. Full publish. No harm.
As long as we allow an elite to control this stuff, then there can be abuses. If we make it all open source and public domain, then there's nothing they can monetise that anyone else can't. And, more over, everyone would be on the system...

Basic income after automation? That’s not how capitalism works
Car Factories
Many more cars produced, MUCH less human labour. Does this author really live in the real world? Human labour goes from "living" to "dead", that is, humans, to artefacts that humans have created ( machines ), in all industries.
Having said that, BI would only be one more way that capitalism tried to maintain the profit stream. A stream, as it turns out, that is shockingly bad for humans anyway. It would not surprise me if they gave it a try, given that QE and the socialising of debt was only a sticking plaster.

I mean, what I wanted to know about the latest scandal involving MPs; MP has under-age sex with teenage boy. Or something to do with abuse of anyone? Rape Victim harassed by nutty DJ.
If you've got kids and you want to keep them safe on line, take responsibility. You don't buy them a chain saw and let them go into the garden, so step up and take responsibility for your own offspring. Don't expect every one else to "help" you. A step for a hint, don't let them use the net unsupervised.
If we go further down this path then then we'd all just best set our proxys to that one in China and be done with it.
