it's one of those "everybody knows but what can we really do about it" things. here's a big redpill for you, the cia figured out how to control information and even how people react towards events. look at edward snowden for example, he literally came out and exposed that every single american citizen is being watched and monitored at all times and there's virtually zero privacy outside of literally going off the grid. everybody kind of was starting to think that way anyway especially after the patriot act, but now people had proof. well unfortunately cell phones and social media had such a push culturally and phones became a very useful every day carry for most people and with qr codes everywhere and the quality of screen camera people, everywhere mind you not just america were so used to having a phone and phones were such an important part of their lives they started to accept they are being watched and people say "well i don't care if they watch, i ain't got nothing to hide anyway" which is missing the point. every event is like that
