The terms "Left" and "Right" are beyond meaningless and only serve to divide: the Nazis rose to power taking advantage of the German workers/people, who'd been bled dry by Versailles... but in reality, they were there to represent the interests of the feudal elite - on both "sides." "Old Money Aristocracy" has been waging a war against the middle (merchant) class ever since Serfdom began to unravel (with, of course, the invention of the printing press).
This I did not know but it goes a long way towards explaining why the Saudis are considered on par with the Japanese for possessing demented sexual tendencies...

Actually giving a shit about your privacy would more or less preclude owning a smart device
Exactly.
you are basically excluding the top 10% of smartest people from the economy
This couldn't possibly be by design...
Regulation can force them to do it.
Yeah, it can. There's even a small chance it'll actually work as intended, at least for a little while...
We shouldn't act like people are idiots for not reading something incredibly lengthy, wordy
No, not necessarily for that reason.
We just need to steal the technology back from them
Considering the "quality" of most of their goods, not to mention that of their "research papers," I'm not sure we want it.
