Once upon a time, We the Connected didn’t have an inkling of the inconceivable value of our digital data. Our mass ignorance allowed Huge Tech companies like Google and Facebook – to become Huge Tech companies. By mass harvesting our data…and mass selling it to the highest bidders.

Let us harken back to the 1933 Marx Brothers movie “Duck Soup.” In said flick, Groucho Marx was caught in an untenable position – blatantly caught blatantly lying.
