Weapons of Mass Distraction. Part 4.

What’s an easy way for the creepiest man in the world to make a ton of money? Make creepiness cool! Thank you Mark Zuckerberg for changing the world to make us all creepy spies.

Well, if we’re all creepy, can we really call out Zuckerberg? How can we complain about the tech industry collecting our private data when we collect private data on all of our friends? Go ahead and pull up a profile of one of your friends and scroll down their timeline. What did you learn about them that you didn’t know before? Better question: do they know that you know what they were doing? What about all of your other “friends”? People you may know. Just search for a random name on Facebook and peer into their life. You’re a creeper too.

Or are you? If everyone does it, is it creepy at all? We’re all followers of the Social Media Gods now. It’s what the people want! Privacy is so last millenium. Upload your life into The Machine. Yes, that’s what is literally being done when you share your activities. The 99% are uploading themselves into The Machine programmed and controlled by Mark Zuckerberg. I wonder what happens when the 1% pay to add their own code to the program. You’ll probably never know, but guess who does?

Mark Zuckerberg: Half human, half hive mind.
