Oh noez - it's duh MEASLES! How will we ever survive this minor annoyance disease??!! Before the blessed vax (peace be upon it), 9 out of every 10 school children died of measles! It killed my own father when he was only six years old!!
Quick everybody, get your jackboots ready. We're gonna FORCE everyone to shoot up with CRAZY CHEMICALS!!!??1!!!1!!!! Hallelujah, praise the vax!
Crazy chemicals are gonna save us all! It must be true because a journalist paid by Big Pharma told me so. He said it's 300% safe. And we're all gonna die immediately if we don't shoot up with it.
Hallelujah praise SCIENCE(tm)!!!!!11!!! Praise the holy vax! Amen.
Are you on crack, broham? You expect the NYPD to... fight criminals??!! Have you ever _been_ to New York?
Get real. The cops here have no interest in reducing crime. They are basically a gang of street thugs. If the City gets safer, the police budget might get cut. Preventing that is job #1.
This dystopian technology will be used to kick the poor and squeeze the working class. NOTHING good will come of it. The City will remain as dangerous and filthy as ever.
We could have devoted our research efforts to curing disease. Or reducing pollution. Or improving energy efficiency. Or even building better killer robots.
But no. We spent millions in research money on... Preventing unauthorized enjoyment of music.
Years ago I did some brief consulting work at PayPal headquarters in San Jose. So far as I could see, they employed zero engineers who were US citizens.
This is obviously fake news. Everyone knows that a nuclear meltdown spreading radioactive waste far and wide is UNPOSSIBLE. Atomic power is TOTALLY SAFE. Just ask the three-headed talking fish off the Fukushima coast - they'll tell you.

Oh how I do love the smell of coerced false confession in the morning!
Hanlon's Razor is obsolete. Try the new Surveillance Valley Razor:

I'm gonna sue the MTA. No way they should be allowing people with the common cold to ride the Subway. What are they, deranged murderers??

But without coerced false confessions, how will we keep our gulag full?
Let them eat cake!
Yup. It's a good demonstration why one should not outsource UI design to Fischer Price.

For now...
How long until Big Brother Google kills that functionality too?
Singapore is definitely a police state. But it is at least a clean and prosperous police state.

Slashdot mobile still does not have Preview functionality.
Intel snoops for Uncle Sam. Huawei snoops for Emperor Xi. Everybody knows it.
I assume it would be illegal to sell a CPU in Soviet America that isn't factory p0wned.
Yes, the state lottery is immoral. It's a disgrace to the people and an indictment of our rulers' wickedness.
Exploiting the weak or stupid for profit is indeed immoral.
"Researchers Find Google Is Actually Government Malware"
FTFY.
That website looks kinda shady. And I don't see source code available anywhere.
Try NetGuard (https://www.netguard.me/). Same idea but FOSS. Works great for me.
Maybe a lot of people prefer the possibility of getting snooped by hackers, over the certainty of getting snooped by Big Brother.
Google is already censored in America. Has been for a long time. Welcome to the brave new world.
