I think it’s safe to say that the internet invasion of privacy has been out of hand for quite a long time. and it certainly has more than its share of nefarious.

Here’s some nefariousness with an establishmentarian twist. Here’s a snippet from a report by the EFF:

In May 2023, the Wall Street Journal reported that Near was selling location data to anti-abortion groups. Specifically, the Journal found that the Veritas Society, a non-profit established by Wisconsin Right to Life, had hired ad agency Recrue Media. That agency purchased location data from Near and used it to target anti-abortion messaging at people who had sought reproductive healthcare.

    Businesses always bow to Fascism after all there’s profit to be made.

    Methinks “bow to” might be putting it a mite mildly.
