Thanks for posting the link.
Pretty soon "privacy" will be removed from the dictionary as it will have not meaning.

The last thing I want to do is vanish. People are already starting to ignore me.

A lot to get disappeared! Social Media is a big issue too. Fakebook, formerly DARPA's LifeLog, keeps tabs on everyone and can still monitor you even if your devices are off. They can even monitor non-members. Goes for all SM. Google is another story! Any smart device/appliance can be used as a monitoring tool. "They" smoothly snuck all this in on us.

This also why landline phones are disappearing. Legally, a landline to landline is a direct wired connection and they supposedly need a warrant to listen.
But a cellphone is legally akin to a walkie talkie- no expectation pf privacy.
Part of your phone bill pays for huuge data retention centers. ALL cellphone conversations are stored. At any time any legal rep (like any cop) can call in, identify, and immediately receive a copy of any conversation you've had in the last six months.After that he needs authorization, and a little more time.
The phone gnomes asked Congress to have the ability to start deleting these records if an American citizen had no inquires or court issues and it's over a year old. Mitch McConnnel said "No! We need all that!"
BTW, there;s very little restriction in the government's "right" to access, use, sell, and/ or disseminate any of this.
