      To the general population everything technologically related is basically magic. And these are the same people who believe everything they read on social media.

        It’s the result of poor education or zero education in STEM. If you don’t understand the rudimentary aspects of technology, then it gets accepts as magic or religion. See AI and Elon Musk.

          Even with proper education, most people don’t have a reason to care enough to be knowledgeable about technology.

      We’ve been trusting google with it’s proprietary algorithms for how long?

      We also trust politicians, business leaders with PR teams crafting their every speech and press release…

      We also all trust Google, Apple, Microsoft and many other companies with all of our data and metadata. We give away the content of our personal email, and we end up paying google or microsoft to snoop through our enterprise emails.

        I don’t know what you call trust, but count me out mate.

        Just because there’s no option it’s not meant to say I can’t see the grift.
