re: Technology at home - do you trust it?

This is the real reason people feared 5G. The whole "conspiracy loons think it will give you covid" thing was bullshite. They now have enough capacity and speed to monitor every man, woman and child.

Are they watching/listening to everyone? Probably not, but they can watch/listen to anyone they like, especially if your phone hears you say certain phrases and alerts surveillance, causing them to focus on you.

Whatever you believe, the fact is that they have all the tech they need for a real life big brother situation.
