Nick Bilton's PR team just posted this article about 'privacy' and I'm cackling, AITA for thinking it's the most ironic thing I've read this year?

So apparently tech journalist Nick Bilton, who has literally written books about how tech CEOs are soulless lizard people, just dropped a whole essay on how much he loathes our modern surveillance hellscape. And like, okay, PREACH, but also, my brother in Christ, you're describing the exact same system you helped build the buzz for. Peak cognitive dissonance. TL;DR: Man who profited off the attention economy for two decades is shocked, SHOCKED, to find that the casino is rigged. Meanwhile, Zuck just roasted a $50K wagyu steak on a $5K grill and didn't even invite him.
