>James Clapper, the US director of national intelligence, told lawmakers Tuesday that governments across the globe are likely to employ the Internet of Things as a spy tool, which will add to global instability already being caused by infectious disease, hunger, climate change, and artificial intelligence.
>"Smart devices incorporated into the electric grid, vehicles—including autonomous vehicles—and household appliances are improving efficiency, energy conservation, and convenience. However, security industry analysts have demonstrated that many of these new systems can threaten data privacy, data integrity, or continuity of services. In the future, intelligence services might use the loT for identification, surveillance, monitoring, location tracking, and targeting for recruitment, or to gain access to networks or user credentials," Clapper said
Surprise, Surprise! The IoT is being used to collect more information at the price of convinces. Who would've guessed! Is privacy even worth fighter for, it's impossible to win. Just like Peter Sunde said 'I Have Given Up'

Wasn't Clapper the guy who lied to Congress about the NSA?
Oh yeah....

I think it's ironic that this is a much bigger story in the right wing clickbait press than it is on libertarian sites like reason.com or on the usual liberal blogroll where they freak out every time Edward Snowden confirms what Clapper says.
I mean, you get what you pay for. With Google and other stuff you don't pay a dime for, theyre selling your information to everyone.

i fucking hate this so much.
Having intelligent cars that move as part of a larger swarm is the most optimal way to travel. But we'll all be cucked with surveillance in them because the issue is not well enough understood by the average Joe to influence lawmakers.
Call me an autist if you want, but I hate normalfags so much, even my friends, because they willingly give up their privacy and their data, and actually think you are paranoid if you don't do like doing it. And then I'm forced to accept their decisions, because once everybody uses facebook, of course you have to use facebook. And when everybody uses NSA-swarm-cars, you don't have an option either.
Am I the only one who thinks like this?

nah you right. Sucks
Slippery slope of liberty vs safety/security
(bursting with opine: that the feminization of U.S, due to womens suffrage, equates power transfer from men to women, from women to gub.)
(fem agenda suggests Preamble change from "all men are created equal" to "all men are children, who should be forced labor to facilitate socialism" )
nsa-herd-cars, like Cruz, will be white-washed for your blind acceptance.
