Yay, capitalism.
The scene in Austin Powers when he first comes out of cryo and assumes the communists won the cold war makes a lot more sense to me as an adult
Really feeling that free market...

And what's so wrong in this particular case?
The sauds are the last people you want to own anything you use.
I don't get how that's capitalism's fault though
Bad people are allowed to do bad things as long as they have the money for it.
Because it allows people's data to be sold off. In other words, we're the product.
Then the "yay capitalism" phrase can be applied to any digital product, and not just to this one then
Not any, but you're right, it can be applied to quite a few products unfortunately.
Capitalism is the fault.
