Actually, my distaste for Big Tech is nothing new. It’s been building for decades.

First, little stuff like the inkjet printer that you invited into your house that claims to need, "Just a little more cyan, bro. I’ll print your black and white page after I get my cyan. Come on, bro."

That's because it needs to print the tracking dots on every page: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printer_tracking_dots
