    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.

              I did, then you replied. Why be offended? I was quite neutral pointing out some really glaring contradictions here.

              Big corporations want to thank you as well for contributing more data that is linked to your verified email account like the other anti data HEROES dunking on me.
