"What like-buttons mainly do is collect data about you."
"If you know something about people, you can lie to them better"
"In a walled-garden that's what it's all about. It's not about spying on you. It's about locking you in and charging you extra."
"Amazon is basically pursuing a strategy to turn themselves into a part of the state, into an arm of law enforcement [by providing doorbell camera footage to the police]."
"We'll never be able to make Big Tech behave. The only way to make Big Tech behave is to make Big Tech small."
