I feel pretty sure he is gonna stop himself. Not in a way that he enjoys, either. As an aside, I propose we begin seeking the lawyer willing to pursue a class-action lawsuit seeking to redefine "data collection" as labor, which most of have been doing against our own wishes and to our own detriment for at least two decades, and we collect backpay, at a global scale, from the tech monopolies and the subsidiary companies that resell the data. The car companies too. All of it. Every last bit.
