Direction Quote by Christopher Wylie
“The United States is walking in the same direction as China, we're just allowing private companies to monetize left, right and center. Just because it's not the state doesn't mean that there isn't harmful impacts that could come if you have one or two large companies monitoring or tracking everything you do.”
