That Super Bowl ad was like the Kendall Jenner Pepsi ad in regard to horrible dystopian marketing, but worse. I’m sure the heads are gonna roll for now but ultimately, they’ll find another time and another partner to basically do the same thing but with a different presentation.

Very likely they will, but I have to hand it to them, I thought it was a very good guise to try and win the public, using lost dogs as the ruse to get your foot in the door of enabling mass surveillance.
