    I find it interesting that you and another posted see tech as a line of defence. I know I also employ that but it’s taken your comments to make me see and seperate the layers of use. It’s good we can have these rational discussions here. Sorry if I sound a bit preachy or crazy.

      Tech is a tool. Those who want power over you will use it against you, and you can in turn use it to defend against them. Ultimately it’s whoever puts the most effort in who gets the upper hand, and the wealthy can always motivate people with money to get a lot of effort in on their side, so, like with most things in life, it’s an uphill battle to fight against them.
