It was pretty big news on the day it hit the papers in the UK, I think it was front page of the Guardian.

Everyone was shocked and horrified on that day about it, comments and posts everywhere, and then it faded away over the following days and weeks as more shocking and horrifying news about other stuff was published, till everyone forgot how shocking and horrifying this was.

We are caught in a system from which there is no escape and which dictates every facet of human civilization. It will not stop until it has consumed everything, at which point it will collapse, crushing humanity under the flaming rubble.

We are about to get great filter'd.

Yup. And we completely deserve this.
