No.
Movies don't stigmatize anything - people do.
It's a horror movie. It's meant to take some reality and mix it with some scary for entertainment purposes.

One day, the tides will turn, and people will take open-source/decentralization to heart.
There is a fundamental aspect of privacy in tech that people ignore or are completely ignorant of: a third party is the security risk.
I've been emailing with a colleague for nearly two decades using private key encryption.
He's got my public key, I've got his.
That's it. That's all that's needed. It removes the third party risk completely. We can send each other messages and post them publicly on billboards for all I care - without my key, you can't read it. Without his key, you can't read his.
I hope, though I doubt it will ever happen, that people learn that privacy is a you thing. It requires you to do the work. Not someone else. If you are relying on a third party to secure your own communication - you are at risk.
The simplest thing ever is a standardized, open-source comms hub that people can spin up for $5/mo. Just a network to route encrypted packages. That's it. It doesn't require anything beyond that.

Because generally speaking the Southern hemisphere is fairly low-output compared to the Northern Hemisphere.
This is pretty reasonable considering about 90% of people live in the Northern hemisphere.

I'd rather it go to charity if we're just spitballing.

Electricians say fuck you.

$35million dollars.
Sitting on the bench. Man, NFL salaries are hilariously fucked.
