Wireless carriers and the federal government are launching a system to automatically warn people of dangerous weather and other emergencies via a special type of text messaging to cellphones. And if you like this, you're a schmuck.
The Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) service, which begins this month, is free, and consumers won't have to sign up. And like idiots, they think that's just swell. Mindless sheeple!
As with Facebook and Google: If you're not paying for it, you're not the customer. You're the product being sold.
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." -- C. S. Lewis
