Then don't watch it. You are completely free to watch the original trilogy, in their original versions, on laserdisc, over and over again.
JJ Abrams did a good job with the new Star Trek movies. The prequel trilogy was ruined by George Lucas. With him out of the picture, I'm cautiously optimistic.
If everything you do is tracked, you will get penalized for all af them, putting *everyone* in prison. Laws are there so that if somebody really crosses a boundary that society won't accept, there is a fair reason to put them trough court. If we start to automatically punish everyone for every crime they commit, because we give up privacy, our world stops functioning.
Nearly 100% of current online commerce is easily trackable by dozens of agencies. Why isn't everyone in jail? Why hasn't the world stopped functioning?
Did you not read past the first sentence of my reply?
If you want to go to a huge amount of extra effort to buy legal things anonymously in order to make a point to The Man, feel free. Very few people will be joining you.
Most people use cash because it's fast and convenient, not because it's anonymous. When people use cash specifically for it's anonymity, it's usually to buy drugs.
But you can't use cash online. So for non-drug purchases, most people use regular web sites and credit cards.
Is there an epidemic of truck hijackings? (note that Fast and the Furious is a fictional movie).
Who is going to steal a truck's load not knowing what's inside it? Even if you knew what was in the truck, how does one go about unloading a locked truck in the middle of the road in less time than it takes for the cops to respond to the automated 911 call?
What? Manufacturing is the actual "cheap, low qualification tech work" that you're disparaging. That's overseas. The R&D and engineering work is all in the US- thus our STEM dominance.
That is the reality of the situation. In the fantasy land of OSS evangelists, thousands of highly skilled coders are constantly auditing big OSS projects.

How dare movies be entertaining, right?
Star Trek 6: The Undiscovered Country, asked us such through provoking questions about...whales...or something.
LOL
Good luck writing that law.
So your labor isn't stolen by a central bank (inflation), and so your completely legal transactions aren't censored (Wikileaks).
In 2014, Inflation had decreased the value of the US dollar by about 0.5%. The value of bitcoin has dropped by more than 50%.
That would be a fantastic idea...in 2012. The ship sailed on bitcoin mining a while ago.
So it should be illegal to have your boss or customer ride in your car?

What's the difference between talking on a cell phone and talking to a passenger? Texting while driving is already illegal in Florida.
This one guy doesn't get to decide public safety issues.
Jammers are incredibly easy to find.
My friend's dad tried to pay cash for a car and couldn't because the dealership had no procedure for accepting cash.
There is no cash discount on cars. If you finance it, the dealership gets paid in full up front by the financier. It makes no difference to them.

Have faith, eventually everything ends up illegal.
Yet the link you include is about the opposite situation.
So it's about drugs. Your point being?
That the headline of the article says the opposite. I don't expect you to read the article, but I do expect you to read the headline.

Your public bathhouse example is terrible.

Legally, self driving systems will be classified as elaborate cruise control. They can be disengaged very quickly and easily.
Human controls and overrides will be available for the foreseeable future.
"Is About More Than Just Drugs"
But really...it's about drugs. You don't need to sell Beanie Babies anonymously.
This case is significantly older than Slashdot. Is 700k really a braggable UID now?
On Slashdot, all accusations against government officials are deemed to be true. Evidence is not required.
How dare the evil federal government demand that nuclear power plants be built and operated safely.
So according to you, photovoltaic panels using silver are the only type of solar power that will ever be invented?
If you want a custom latex dildo, there are already kits for that.
