On social media, I see ragebaiting posts and it occurred to me that they are honeypots in disguise. If I say too much, it could be used against me, as I plan to join a union.
I’m a lot more comfortable with people knowing what my genitals look like than most people are and yet even I draw the line well before insurers or law enforcement get a peek
Filing accident reports, my contact information is made public record, and lawyers and shady chiropractors line up to try to fleece me. Yes, I have something to hide, or rather, someone to hide from.
There are even some body-parts of mine, that I am ordered — by the law itself — to hide in public.!!!1
You mean you are not a fan of little Richard and Fanny? That is terrible! Do not speak to me again!
People have been murdered for wearing glasses, please believe your minor social associations and opinions and thoughts can get you killed
Pol Pot.
The big thing that people always seem to forget is that there also doesn’t need to be a reason. People are weird and do weird things. To others, these weird actions are often interpreted as having malicious intent. Enemies will be created. Just look at ICE.
Those still have reasons, theyre just not usually as direct.
There might be motivation or bias, but not reason.
How alternative medicine advocates target people right after diagnosed cancer
How people who just lost their loved ones gets menorial service ads
There’s legit moments you become emotionally vulnerable and if they knew they’ll definitely prey on you
Those are low key violations too. You just wait. Social scores parsed by bad faith palantir type organizations used secretly against us in ways we won’t be able to be sure of or challenge, losing one that job, that loan, getting worse treatment from authorities. Later even being used to send paramilitary thugs to target one even. Paramilitary as in like pround boys types under the wing of the party. Ice is not that, they are a security service, I don’t care how many times it’s repeated it doesn’t make it correct.
Data fabrication is its own risk in this. Assuming we live in a society where a govt can argue it has all this information, they could make shit up & conjure the “evidence” to support their version. Because the apparatus is established as “we know everything & can uncover the ‘truth’”, they could falsify files, they could plant files on devices, and they could edit information at a grander scale than in the past. Flock’s financial backing is connected to a company that makes money from footage editing. If they establish, “Flock shows footage of reality,” while being able to manipulate it, then we’re all a deepfake away from being accused of shit we didn’t do. That’s like Black Mirror episode 1.
They do that anyway
“So when can we put cameras in your bedroom and bathroom?”
People carry their phones to both.
My iphone really doesn’t like that I have aluminum tape on the cameras and a water resistant case that I have to essentially shove in my mouth and use speaker by my ear to use it.
“why do you wear clothes?”
“why do you lock your phone?”
“Why do you have a lock on your bathroom door?”
Why do you even HAVE a door?
Depends on what time of year it is.
And if you are with someone special…
With IR and RF technology the way that it is, you might as well not be wearing anything in the eyes of the tech spooks behind the panopticon…
Dyson’s toothbrush camera was never for your mouth
Toothbrush cameras?
Tell me your card & bank account details
Also give me your mother’s phone number
I too want op’s mothers number
And home address
”We’ll install an extra door to your bedroom from the outside and write ’For police use only’ for YOUR PROTECTION”
Also it has a shoddy lock
“I can’t shit unless someone is watching!”
Do you have a smart-tv in one of them? Or a rumbla? Maybe there are cameras already.
surveillance is about datamining, and profiling to manipulate, control, and market. Not just market products and news but to lead the person profiled down a specific path.
we are about to have the control of our life and world view completely taken from us moreso than what was done with the analog methods of media marketing and later organic digital era which we are in the process of leaving.
it’s really what every ancient culture warned us about. this is the false god. you don’t need to be
You are trying to manipulate people by swaying their opinions online, you think it’s for a righteous cause and this case may be so, but do you not feel hypocritical posting on social media? You also happen to be giving away some data for free. But that isn’t bad because….
Because this data doesn’t end up owned by a corporation.
It’s now freely available to anyone who has means to read it.
Because people need to communicate in order to build community, and leaving the online space to the corporations is stupid.
This data is available to and now in a data bank owned by the corporations too? Y’all are more preoccupied with scoring tough guy wins online than thinking introspectively for just a moment. Doesn’t matter how it’s said, anything against your hive is just disparaged. So downvote me and move on with your day.
User name checks out
Thank you for your contribution. The email associated with user okokimup is more likely to interact with privacy related stories and ads. This is a great data point. One in a trillion, but still sellable.
Yeah no I really don’t have relationship data lol
no data is also data, they love targeting singles
There are several whole ecosystems dedicated to it.
Saw this concept in another thread. Paraphrasing and adding my own stuff.
Two words: dynamic pricing. Every company will start setting prices, using your tailored data, to extract the maximum amount of revenue from you that they can. And i guarantee, it won’t be cheaper than you pay now.
You have social security and credit card numbers, and porn searches you sick fucking perverted freak.
I’m thankfully vanilla as hell. If my porn search history were to be leaked, they’d be like, “that’s it?”
You don’t have any kinks?! What a weirdo
That, and even if you’re not considered part of whatever targeted group the current regime hates today, it doesn’t mean they won’t invent a new targeted group tomorrow that just so happens to include you.
This is before getting into all the false positive “identifications” of “criminal behavior” aimed at demonstrably innocent people e.g. as is already happening with the current Flock camera debacle.
No government has any legitimate reason to surveil its own citizens, and if any such excuse is generated to justify it in the beginning it is guaranteed to devolve into a tool of oppression afterwards. Once you give up rights there is no reality in which any government will voluntarily give them back.
If you have nothing to hide, then how can I trust you?
Found the president’s lemmy front man’s account! /s But that is how they operate, they don’t trust anyone they don’t have dirt on. Just like the Borgia pope.
While it might not be immediately apparent how that information will be used against us, it is far more dangerous than we can possibly imagine having this information in the secret data centers of oligarchs, on everyone, down to granular detail, not the least with computers and llm’s able to parse the data better all the time.
Ie, social scores to be used secretly against us, micro targeting, and so forth. Information is power and silicon valley and the oligarchs have too much of it. They have to be stopped.
