You reap as you sow. People let things slide, do not care, want to party, do not believe warnings, don't mind supporting aberration in favour of prefering imminent shortsighted desire - they will get what they deserve.

Our freedom does not stumble over big evil mountains, but innocent tiny rocks.

Mundus vult decipi, ergo decipiatur. - The world wants to be deceived, so let it be deceived.

I have read Catfish's likely German source text just minutes ago, too, in there they also illustrate some remarkable foul excuses and attempted distractions by Samsung. No doubt that they will get away with it - and if not this time then in their next attempt.

The time is close when people will be suspicious when they refuse to have smartphones active all time, interactive household devices spying on them all the time, and all their personal doings and actions being done digitally so that they can n be automatically traced and recorded. After 9/11 it became known that if you had no debts on your banking account, this automatically could put you onto a terror suspect list for further investigation, because ordinary citizens today are expected to live on tic and to have debts. Next big thing coming will be digital payment exclusively, so that even buying a pack of chewing gum gets reported to the finance ministry - they will sell this as "taxing equality" (where it is just a perfecting of robbery).

We will end like in that old story by Ray Bradbury, where a citizen does a harmless walk in the evening in the empty streets around the block, while all others are in their living rooms staring at the TVs, and a robot police car stops and ask what he is doing, and he says he is just doing a walk, and the robot asks why, and he says something, and then gets arrested, loaded in, and shuttled away. A perfectly safe and secure, peaceful evening. Only underhanded bastards like me who have something to hide could see anything wicked in this.
