The Stalking Beast

The tech companies, including Amazon, and the banks are instituting some real mark of the beast stuff. Consumers in the United States have not yet been forced to accept surveillance devices into their homes, but for the convenience of making purchases more easily, many folks are inviting corporations into their homes to spy on them. Financial institutions are cutting off access to accounts to people they find controversial and businesses that suddenly offend them, like gun stores. We have a choice now to reject these intrusions but will not have any alternative later. President Trump must break up the tech monopolies now to stop the stripping of our privacy and must regulate the banks to guarantee every citizen the right to buy and sell, regardless of the political opinions they hold.
