    Dude! I bought some Bose headphones that were amazing. But I read over the privacy policy and they wanted to “map my head movements” and they wanted permission to passively listen to audio sent through the speakers and any audio around the microphone.

    I ran those fuckers back to the store as quickly as possible.

    But not before having to duck and dodge agreeing to the privacy policy in their app, so I quickly deleted it. But when I started interacting with their customer service, they tried to get me to sign a different privacy policy that seemed formulated just for the information shared in the chat, but in two separate addenda I had to dig through, I saw they were tryin to get me to sign the original super invasive privacy policy.

    Fuck Bose. Fuck all these fake fronts for surveillance capitalism. Fuck capitalism.
