First of all, it’s the utilities that have access to your smart meter data.
This literally saves the meter runner a trip by your house.
That’s how most old meters worked. They sent out a local chirp that the utility picks up as they drive by.
Smart meters are just better technology and your energy consumption is not personal information. It’s measuring your consumption of a good that someone else is producing and has agreed to sell to you.
This thread literally hurts my brain… yall are a bunch of fckin clowns.
What is there to get?
You’re confirming your own bias because someone tweeted about musk and compared him to three people, one of which you clearly do not like.
Arguably two of those three people were excellent…
But the third someone is proof that substantiates your opinion of musk and his intentions?
You’re basically farting in the wind and calling it proof.
It’s obvious disinformation.
Once you go down the first rabbit hole and learn about occult blackmail rings, he gets you to go down a second rabbit hole that is complete bullshit.
You’ve now successfully muddied the water and alienated thinking people from even attempting to go down the first rabbit hole.
If you believe in lizard people, you’re a fucking moron.
Most people don’t know how to properly use a thermostat and will impulsively lower or raise temperatures.
It’s pretty easy to understand the utilities motive here.
You think the people at the utility have an agenda to control your room temperature? What would the improper motive be?
This is just retarded paranoia.
You think your electricity consumption is sensitive information?
How the fuck do you think you get billed every month? Where do you think your electricity comes from???
This just makes it easier for them to do their job.
You should be worried about actual surveillance.
Unless your using your own infrastructure and producing your own electricity, then this is not your data at all.
It’s like getting mad at the gas company for wanting a gas meter that uses gsm communication to let them know when you need a refill.
How DARE the gas company STEAL YOUR data!!!!!
Bunch of fucking morons on here apparently.
It doesn’t you stupid shill fuck
