@paninid @Em0nM4stodon I never thought about it in terms of religious connotations, but I think this does make a bit of a valid point. Many people in this country are raised from early on to think they have no privacy from at least one being. Maybe this goes a long way to explaining why so many seem to just shrug off giving up privacy rights among other humans.
EDIT: The more I think about it, the more I think they're taught to accept said being as to be trusted. So they accept corporations
