You Cannot Disappear While Scrolling on Your Mobile | Frank M. Ahearn

You cannot disappear while scrolling on your mobile, especially if you are trying to leave your life behind. Maybe you are trying to stay out of a predator’s sight or create some much-needed safety. Whatever the reason, people have their motivations, and that is all that matters. Be aware, the predator has multiplied. They even colluded to keep track of you. Disappearing to freedom is more than going from A to B.

The first predator has always been the government, sticking its business into ours. It uses new technology to make sure we are not part of a drug cartel or terrorist organization. Yes, they invade the privacy of the little old lady down the street in the name of keeping us safe.

Big business is guilty of violating our privacy, too. They act with impunity because of their political donations. Some even think citizens should have no rights and should serve Big Brother. All the while, they cash in on our data.

The true enemy of freedom is ourselves. We fell into the habit of staring at and typing on our phones. We give thumbs-ups, hearts, and other stupid emojis. That should be the behavior of children, not responsible adults. Everywhere you look, people are infected. They need an update, need to share, need to watch. But my question is: are they living anymore?

You cannot disappear while scrolling on your mobile because everything in that little black box will follow you to your location. And that piece-of-shit company that sees you not as a human with rights, but as a collection of data, will somehow let the wrong people know you have disappeared to freedom. You will be the architect of your own discovery.
