    To believe anything less than that is to be living in an actively defended state of denial.

Go share this simple fact that you and I accept as easily as breathing with the general public. I suspect a fair number of people, even tech savvy people would accuse you of paranoia.

The general public has no problem putting an Amazon bug in their house. They can be outraged in principle over the idea of the NSA snooping their dick picksLOOKSQUIRREL

Yes, but even the mass media reports on these things regularly... it's not just conversations on slashdot or rec.hacking any more.

But kleinbl00's comments were clearly intended for the Hubski community, and if anyone here doesn't start with the base assumption that every part of your computer, email, phone, location, and contact history is known... then, they are actively living a lie.
