Says the people who post photos online of every meal they eat and announce to the world when they are not home.

We actually don’t mind being spied on … as long as it’s not the Chinese.

If it’s our own government or businesses, it’s okay.

Anyone can spy on me if they are willing to risk being bored to death.

Pearls Before Swine is similar today.

Maybe if he got a phone, we wouldn’t have to shoot him down.

Give extraterrestials a phone, and they will phone home.

You need to phone first, don’t just pop in.

Not only is your phone tracking you, try and look up something on google. It’s like “release the kraken.” “You want new tires? Here’s 25 places nearby that can work with you”. Geez. Leave me alone, already.

Don’t use Android, Google or Facebook and most of the tracking goes away. Not all, but most of it.

The balloon got a point there (no pun intended or course)

Also the people that send explorer probes through space and uses space telescopes to spy on other planets.

AND we put our private conversations on speakerphone.

We were just talking about that!

No one cares. Unless there’s money to be made. And then it’s just to target you with ads for stuff you’d be more likely to buy—which is fine by me, so long as I don’t get additional ads (SPAM), merely different ones. Well, I suppose corrupt governments care, but I don’t live in China.

Still glad I don’t have that little tattle-tale accessory.
