    "It's a new level of invasion," Stone said of the game. "Nobody has ever seen, in the history of the world, something like Google, ever. It's the fastest-growing business ever, and they have invested huge amounts of money into what surveillance is, which is data-mining. They're data-mining every person in this room for information as to what you're buying, what it is you like, and above all, your behavior."

    So what does all that have to do with Pokemon Go? Stone was happy to elaborate.

    "Pokemon Go kicks into that. It's everywhere. It's what some people call surveillance capitalism. It's the newest stage," he said. "You'll see a new form of, frankly, a robot society, where they will know how you want to behave and they will make the mockup that matches how you behave and feed you. It's what they call totalitarianism."

    I am not sure about the pokemon thing... but once again the old school liberals are the ones who understand what this union of tech companies, banks, democrats and establishments Rs is really about. The left is about progressing towards totalitarianism and just about every lefty here does not get it. they think they are doing the right thing and that Hillary cares more about them.
