Having a career in tech, I can write volumes on this.
For example, if you have a ring device, you are already contributing. If you have an echo device too, you are one of the elite contributors. These devices are designed to create a mesh network from your home to the next, to the next, etc. (BTW that YOU pay for). Anyone identified by their phone's IP, passing by or entering a device enabled home is tracked, even if that person has none of those devices. If your phone's IP is known to amazon and detected, you are being surveilled point to point, even walking your dog. Any meta app is doing the same and there may be cooperation between vendors, even without a formal arrangement.
If you read articles like this and are concerned, ditch your amazon and google devices, and amazon, google, meta apps, remove all other non-essential phone apps and even get a degoogled phone like the Brax 2.
So many are contributing to the problem unwittingly or lazily before even getting to the direct government level of surveillance.
In terms of technology, there are three levels of adaptation:
1. early adopters (new and shiny, must have!)
2. mid-adopters (this might work for me)
3. late adopters (occasional luddites)
The people that MUST be targeted are the new adopters. They are the ones that are leading us down this surveillance path. They are collectively completely clueless that this technology can be used against us. The concept of "show me the man and I'll show you the crime" is completely foreign to them.
Not sure how to reach them; maybe the fact that the economy is tanking will stop them from getting on board with the newest surveillance toaster/ smart whatever.
