Or rather I wish Louis would limit the "bulldozing" persona to the context in which it is necessary instead of all contexts ever at any time.
No issue with people being friends. Just issue in standards deteriorating.

Is this how Twitter felt like for journalists back in the day? You see a story, and you think "ah yes, that guy's signature"?
End me.
Have you actually looked at what is being discussed? There is no conspiracy theory, these are simple facts. Just about every electronic device is made to spy on you in 2026. Thinking otherwise is naive, at best.
You've accidentally proven my statement: If you're not specific, you're not helping.
Oh I made no such claim whatsoever. My complete statement was this, in context of the original research the article is based on:
"There is an important message in this about security hardening, privacy, data protection, but this conspiracy theory that everything is made to spy on you is not helping..."
To translate:
It's important to raise and emphasize matters of security hardening, privacy, data protection, and there's alot to raise here.
But doing so by implying broad malicious intent on even the most trivial use-case observed on the device (like user-initiated voice-transcription, as I also elaborated as an example) is not helping to emphasize the actually important findings of that research.
Meanwhile, you started a broad strawman-argument "that anyone who believes we live in a surveillance state is misguided". You need to find a opposing position to argue that, you won't find that with me...
It's only meant to spy on you in the way that won't get really bad viral press right now. If it spies on you in the way that people notice and object, it was clearly a honest mistake.
