Maps were downloadable once, maps.me still is. No reason that can't continue, besides big brother having a vested interest in what you are doing.

Big Brother to me is still the gov't vs individual EvilCorps hoovering up data to make a buck. Both could still be "the man", but to me Big Brother is specific. Maybe I have the term wrong or has it become more encompassing?

There isn't much of a difference these days, from where I'm sitting. The government and the heads of bigcos are pretty much on the same teams.

This is just quite simply sad in how true it is.

EvilCorps are hoovering up a hell of lot more data than I voluntarily give them. I give no data voluntarily to FB, yet with all of their track bullshit they take it from me. I have no idea if a website is using their code or not, so by me browsing said website is not me giving them my permission. Same with Googs and their analytics.
