===Clippy As a Symbol of Escalating Overreach=== As explained by Rossman in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_Dtmpe9qaQ Change your profile picture to clippy. I'm serious] Clippy, while widely mocked and viewed as an annoyance at the time of its introduction, the level of annoyance, privacy invasion and user hostility pales in comparison to modern practices by corporations, especially Big Tech, that are continually implemented and escalated without resistance. [https://youtu.be/2_Dtmpe9qaQ?t=68 Change your profile picture to clippy. I'm serious 1:08]<blockquote>Whether or not you like Clippy, [...] the one thing that you could say, unlike Facebook who is trying to profit off of young girls that feel suicidal, Clippy simply wanted to help. He might have been annoying, but he just wanted to help. There were no ulterior motives. If you told Clippy you were having a bad day, he wasn't going to use that information to try and figure out which advertiser to sell you to. Nor was he trying to steal your personal data to get you to purchase other Microsoft products. He had no ulterior motives, he was simply there to help. [...] Clippy wouldn't even read the contents of your letter.</blockquote>
