Which meant more companies got into it and used it as another ground for marketing to normies, sanitizing it, and demanding further sanitizing. There were still people in the late 1990s/early 2000 who thought it would be a fading fad or remain as something akin to a library, not a center of everyone's life it became. And thanks to retarded concepts like Internet of Things (IoT) and a growing reliance on "AI", it will expand even further as a center of everything, and no one will still give a shit about peoper security; they will treat your data and privacy like how your social security number is treated: 'lol, sometimes, you just have to accept the risk that it's out there! That's life!', and they will groom everyone into this mindset (despite the fact that it's even illegal for your SS# to be used as a form of identification in all of the ways it's now used, like at doctor's offices. So even if someone says there's legislation in place to prevent misuse of data, they'll simply not enforce it, or be very nonchalant and justify the problem).
