There's some interesting statements in the article. "It feels like there's less privacy in the world, with your whole life on display" Social media knows what you tell it. That's from the details you give when you sign up, to what you post day to day. There's no secret cameras installed by Facebook and Twitter. Nothing is there unless you put it there. Yes, there are bots that read what you post, but again, IT'S WHAT YOU POST that gives them the info. |

Its not just that,its meta data theyre after that's more useful to them, it tells them your IP,the time and location you post,the hours youre active,what you discuss from keywords,who you interact with and their meta data, the websites you visit afterwards and what you buy or browse what news sites and articles you read and much more.You think you can stop this with adblocking and anti tracking tools but to use their services you have to agree foregoing EU data protection and agree cookies, they plant 'essential functionality' cookies which do all of this. Youre not anonymous or private. The data is theirs to use as they choose-keep or sell.The only way your privacy is totally protected is not to use the sites at all.There are very few sites on the entire internet that do not collect or store your private meta data at all and theyre usually highly secure email services.
VPNs help anonymise some of your activity but theyre not totally secure.
The only way to keep your life to yourself is not use the internet and chuck your phone away,especially if its a smartphone and don't use bank cards. But life is geared to you using all of those.

I see what you are saying NomadCris, but I rarely see ads that are relevant to me or what I have been discussing. Lots of fashion and makeup (because I said I am female) which I ignore. Recently I bought some dog treats online, so I am getting ads for them, even though I don't need any right now! As for meta data like my IP, they can have that. |

You can either get served ads relevant to your interests gleaned from your browsing activity or media discussion or get random ads but youll still get most of them as they find ways to circumvent ad blockers.
The metadata is like a jigsaw puzzle of seemingly random data about you which can be analysed through algorithms to work out things about you that are commercially of interest to them or maybe to a government agency.
The info can also be sold to them, and all the big corporates work for or have contracts with governments, especially the ones who design software.
The point being that what you post or how little you post of what you think is personal interest is not that relevant its the metadata they want.
The biggest invasion is in use of selfies, people are obsessed with posting them and actively encouraged to do so,phones are built around cameras and camera use, but those photos usually have something in the background - building or landscape- that can be identified with software readily available.
Its also hugely valuable to growing numbers of stalkers and employers.
As I said if you value your privacy either dont use the internet or think very carefully about everything you post or comment on and where and what sites you sign up to and how you do that, what browser you use and check your google or apple account settings to minimise the data they collect about you and store.Dont post selfies.
I think the point in the article is quite moot,that people spend more time going places to collect photos or selfies or videos of their activity to post on social media to impress followers and gain more followers instead of just going and taking in the moment and absorbing the sight or experience on a personal/emotional level. Its narcissism on an epic scale,'look at me look what i did.'
We've turned life into the stereotyical tour bus, where it stops somewhere popular, everyone gets off takes the same pictures gets back on the bus and then shares them on social media.

Is it a coincidence that if you mention your heating is fucked in a g mail to a freind that you get bomdarded with adds for heating stuff or a coincidence as plumbing/heating issues are common ?
Might test it out and say my piles are flared up and see if I get bombarded with anusol adds ?

No coincidence. I mentioned Engwe bikes on here and getting Engwe ads everywhere and mentioned weirdfish website to someone yesterday and im getting them ads too.
We are in the matrix.
