re: #32 engineer cat

doesn’t it make a difference that most of us have no idea it’s happening and never gave explicit assent?

Which part? If I make a phone call, I have to give the number I intend to dial to the phone company in order to make the call. So a note is made of the number dialed, the number of the dialer, and the duration of the call. It’s not information that I wouldn’t unknowingly give up.
