I think any of these "threats" can be seen in plain sight if you're looking for them. This century has seen more technological change than all of human history before it. It's moving faster than regulation can react. Is it moving faster than ethics, faster than we can adapt?
Everyone seems to be getting dumber apart from the people writing the code. People falling off cliffs because they were trying to take a selfie and thinking it's important for everyone to watch them eat cereal on YouTube.

The Edward Snowden quote just is becoming more and more relevant, "Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say". Imagine sitting down at a table with an FBI agent who pulls out every google search you've ever done, CCTV footage of every street you crossed in the last 5 years, every Uber you ever took, everything you ate etc... I mean, it's happening already:
Fuck. Am I turning into one of "those" people?
