Techno-skeptic narrative

Atlas is a dangerous surveillance tool disguised as a convenient step forward, tracking user behavior and building psychological profiles without transparency. The browser creates learned helplessness by moving too fast for public scrutiny while rebranding invasive monitoring as helpful context. This technology prioritizes prediction and manipulation over genuine user assistance.
