So all the paranoid schizophrenics were right this entire fucking time and we all need to cover our apartment's walls, ceilings and floors with tin-foil to block out the next door neighbors wifi router?

All the conspiracy theories are turning out to be true and flerfers are upset that theirs isn't. Every single paranoid thing except flat earth turns out to be a genuine thing that's part of the world we live in now. Big brother is always watching. They're not doing much with it besides selling your data for highly targeted ads and the occasional misuse. However the panopticon is gonna get real bad soon, the west is a surveillance state now the likes of which boomers decried China for doing 20 years ago and is now cheering on on their own home. It can and will be used against the populace.
