Almost everything based in technology spies on everyone now a days and most people are alright with it. I don’t understand why people are okay knowing this spying exists. Louis Rossman does a great job here showing us the disgusting tactics used by big corporations to gaslight people into believing them over what these companies are really nefariously up to.
That’s it. I won’t have sex in my car any more.
I mean if I had a car, I wouldn’t have sex in it any more.
If I had sex that is.
for as long as society has the mentality of “i got nothing to hide” we are doomed
See, I am of the view that there should be a list of people who have this mentality and their data is updated live and publicly visible to all to see, and I mean EVERYTHING. Of course I’m not calling for someone to just hack systems and publish user data, but instead people get free services when they sign up for to be part of this list.
Then we’ll see how many “have nothing to hide”
My (often unpopular) opinion is: none. Our government agencies should exert their efforts improving privacy and security rather than subverting it. We should be a nation of white hat hackers.
That would be amazing. I also think that everything and everyone one in any level of government should let their actions, money, etc. be open source and viewable to everyone.
I agree with you strongly. We have the technology, it’s just pointed at the wrong crowd. The eyes of the surveillance state should be on the rich and powerful, not the masses. The price of power should be the loss of privacy.
its not that ur opinion is unpopular but its about as good as saying communism is good. which is to say it is good on paper but it wouldn’t work in practice due to people being people
That goes for everything, doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try, or should we remove laws casmuse people still steal, murder ect and get away with it
hUmAn NaTuRe
Which would make money launders and scammers very happy
Couldn’t we at least use this data for something useful? Like help me find a date with a possible future girlfriend?
I’d like to give my vehicle consent, to unexpectedly drive me to a blind date, with another car owner. Sounds romantically.
Ah don’t understand why people overreact… We have nothing to hide… Its that what everyone says? But in case that wasn’t clean… First line was sarcasm
Remember there is a difference between spying and monitoring based on consent. If I ask the police to put up security cameras on my street due to crime that is monitoring, if someone hides a camera in a tree and aims it at my house that is spying.
If someone hides what they’re “monitoring”, and what theyre doing with it, from you in vague definitions and legalese ToS, it’s still spying.

How?
If you live in the US, most likely data brokers.
Really seedy industry centered around buying and selling your personal information, compiling public records from government sites to build a profile of your location, previous addresses, jobs, biological sex, given sex, phone numbers etc, and then cross referencing that with online data from ad trackers and targeting to build a more detailed profile of who exactly you are specifically.
This stuff doesn’t even scratch the surface too.
US law enforcement has also been openly using data brokers to bypass certain privacy protections/rights granted to people who live in the US, where things like a warrant or subpoena would usually be necessary
And people alway go on about the stasi, they wernt good but we currently life under more survailance then GDR citizens ever had.
