What if I told you that the mainstream media, along with its commercial TV advertisement partners, could collaborate and download eavesdropping software on your smartphones and tablets, listen to your private conversations, and then run asinine commercials from its enormous library of paid advertisement clients? Certain commercials are run from the library to mimic words and mannerisms from the private conversations you’ve had with family members, friends, or colleagues. Imagine if someone brought a privacy invasion case like that to America’s judicial system. I wonder what the response might be. Incidentally, would one be so surprised to learn that the Fourth Estate and the Fourth Amendment’s objectives were in complete opposition to one another?
