This is good. Non-US.

Freedom appears to be gone in so many settings. Tracking and privacy invasions contrary to UN rules, constitutions, whatever.

It's great trying to have control over my software and computer, but what about the rest of the my life? Pretty sad out there. More than an uphill battle.

Hmmm. Talking of tracking and privacy invasions while being on YouTube is ironic.

The documentary isn't entirely about tracking and privacy invasions although that is what I took from it because I didn't realize all those systems shown in the film existed. It mostly pointed out ways technology is optimistically being used as a control mechanism and substitute for governance. Sort of asking if governments can continue in that direction and responsibly handle that kind of power.
