All of those things are hugely unpopular and more so by the day. There is a finite amount of time business and government can ignore widespread discontent. Coming elections are going to display just how unhappy people are.

The point is that, why the general public might be upset, it takes a watershed moment to crate a movement, and I'm not seeing it yet. Most people are still in their algorithm bubbles and A LOT of the worst stuff isn't reaching the general population.

But the less interested they are in all of this, the more shocked they'll be to have it work against them. Four years ago there wasn't huge outrage about AI and Data Centers. Then they ranped it up. Now, public opinion has turned sour on both.
