Alex: Yeah, it’s like a big data buffet, but I’m not sure if that’s really helping anyone.
Panel 2

Screen Text: Yes, please.
Screen Text: Allow us to access your location?
Screen Text: Allow us to track your movements?

Panel 3
Alex and Sam are looking at the screen, grimacing.
Sam: How am I supposed to trust them if they’re using my data to spy on me?
Alex: Maybe they’re better at surveilling than they are at creating helpful tools.
Sam: Now that’s something to watch out for.
