A four-panel comic. Panel 1: A curly-haired person in glasses holds up a sign reading "FREE HUGS" as a balding man walks up. Panel 2: They embrace in a warm hug, eyes closed. Panel 3: Still hugging, the man asks "What are you doing?" and the hug-giver replies, "Documenting your private medical data for sale to third parties." Panel 4: Both look uneasy mid-hug; the man says "I thought the hugs were free," and the hug-giver answers, "Did YOU see any money change hands?" The joke: the "free" hug is actually surveillance-capitalism data harvesting, where you pay with your personal data rather than money. Votey (aftercomic): A close-up of a woman's worried, skeptical face with a caption reading "You'll say you don't like it, then do absolutely nothing" - a jab at how people complain about privacy violations but never change their behavior.
