.@aral Even if Google & FB had always been pay services, the Feds would have still pwn'd all your shit.

@knowtheory If their business model had not been monetising data, there would be much less shit to pwn. -
@aral Yeah, it's a pretty difficult thing to navigate i think. Should i not use mobile phones or email in general either? -
@knowtheory The solution isn’t to cut yourself off from the modern world. However, we can make tools that give people more control…

@aral Disingenuous - it's made possible by technology; the fact that companies store data. The NSA can get at it, paid service or not. -
@iain_simpson Not at all disingenuous. Providing a free service that monetises user data is just *one business model* out of many. -
@aral It's disingenuous to suggest that their business models are an enabling factor, which is how I read your tweet. It helps, sure.

@aral No, it's not, solely. Remember the Feds are tapping fiber connections. Consumer companies like Google & FB aren't complicit in that.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
