In all facets of modern consumer society, data is being collected. Bank cards, credit cards, media consumption (TV, internet, literature subscriptions).

I don't know what the fukk the big deal is. Especially with this FB outrage. People who voluntarily go to news resources that align with their views and give them affirmation are likely the same morons who believe in tinfoil conspiracies.

Phones are pretty much portable spy devices. . I'm sure netflix sells your data too. I wouldn't be surprised that these tvs with these cameras on top eventually start recording your face and see how you react to certain scenes in movies and news to further their predictive analytics on you.

One thing you should always do is check your mic settings on your phone.

It wouldn’t be too difficult for a company, via an app, to passively listen to background noise and gather valuable data. :jbhmm:

For example, take the app Shazam.

What’s stopping companies from embedding singatures in commercials and then having an app listen for those unique signals and then track your subsequent browser behavior to gauge effectiveness of the ad?

Applications of the tech like this abound.

But, what do I know? I’m just a regular Coli nikka. :troll:

Anything that dominates that much of your attention is going to have an impact.

Coli monetizes traffic. So does Facebook (to the scale of 2billion users)

every website with reasonable traffic will figure out a way to monetize it.

There isn't anything on the internet that is "free" save the dopes that are only on the internet for consumption
