John Oliver, You are not Paranoid, Amish beat the NSA

john oliver tin foilIt’s not only the Amish who are living under our radar, but those million of old farts living in old folk homes who have no phone or computer.  And of course all those strange friends of ours who have neither a cell phone or a computer.  And that even greater amount of people we all know who have a computer and a cell phone they never use.

There is one thing I am a bit confused about in all this. Is it possible for anyone on Facebook – who volunteer their names, their GPS coordinates, pictures and videos of themselves and their children, their drinking habits, their diets and their politics and religion – to complain about their privacy? And how many is that? Over a billion people isn’t?

And here’s one for ya!  If we knew that the government or Google were actually listening to our smart phone conversations, how many people do you think would give up them up? I have a guess… NONE.
