> The surveillance is implicit and hidden. If we understand that it’s nearly impossible for a non-tech person to avoid being tracked by corporations and governments, then we start working on the things that really help: super tight regulations about what can and can’t be tracked.

We can't get perfect privacy so we should normalize not having any? Leave it to the government we're distrusting to handle our privacy?

> If they become authoritarian enough to worry, they will impose far tighter surveillance anyway.

What is this logic? Let's not worry about creeping there because if they want it they'll force it? That's not how it works. Getting to a surveillance state needs acceptance. To get that, rather than dropping people in boiling water, you slowly heat the pot, which is what this is.
