Do... you know about your cell phone? they don't need to but bugs in surge protectors because we so very handily take the world's greatest spying device with us everywhere we go. willingly. without a second though.
So true 😁 George Orwell was a bit off on the timing and missed the scale of surveillance by a mile, but got the idea spot on.
