Our acceptance and voluntarily usage of certain software and technology (industrial products) are helpful for us in a certain way, while others (manufacturers, government, business) are using it another way often against individuals if not planned for and allowed now, then by any means necessary later if it's more and more accessible to them.
(many things are developed without this future abuse in mind so good can turn bad).

This is one of the fundamental forms of attack where we use things in one way but it's used in another way for restricting our freedom at the same time. And we buy into it (imagine drones good in some way, but funding the drones for the bad more).

Even in basic or innocent stages as anything gets popular or more freedom based, the money-makers or monopoly games starts to want to get rid of it or monetise it (and us) out of practical benefit more and more heavily as we rely on anything more and more.

So even if you don't see the results now in your face from Facebook or Google Android yet, there is already threat if you are leaving them unchecked or not covering the basics in prevention of remote abuses, daily.

- raspberry Pi ✊ as @julianlawson said allows us to take things into our own control via Do It Yourself methods.

Remember after introducing it cheap or accessibly, all things are possible to be flipped and used against us (tracking, cameras etc). If you play go, you understand what flipped pieces mean.

The devices (and decisions by those who regularly don't care) already can't be trusted, and these things are ALL an extension of monetised / 'regulated' (mismanaged) things again their own needs of domination first and foremost (even in the softer ways).
