Best description of how we are surveilled, why and how it hardly matters if you are on social media.

We're going to give you this computer to put in your pocket. We're going to harvest you like a field of corn in order to sell you to advertisers, Cambridge Analytica, the government. Heck, we'll call it a phone.We'll manipulate your emotions tp extract certain responses, to change your behavior to vote for Mr Dickhead, buy that ostrich jacket or to hate your neighbor. All this without your awareness.

Surveillance has become a huge growth industry in the aftermath of the 9/11/01 attacks but the results have been mixed. For example, how was law enforcement not better prepared for January 6th of this year given all the internet chatter that preceded the event?

By surveillance they mean commercial outlets like fb or google tracking you to such a degree they can predict the things you need before you even know you need them. The best example is of women who discover they are pregnant by the ads they suddenly get. The algorithm of you is exhibiting pregnant behavior and google or fb puts that in your file. But the data points amassed by the "digital exhaust" you leave behind is the same data any entity wanting to create a totalitarian surveillance society needs. It can also lead you around by the nose. Cambridge Analytica folded its tent immediately after trump won. And you are right. Everything from your refrigerator to your car becomes a vessel for data collecting. That's the last "virgin wood" as this woman refers to it. Instead of making a better car the car companies invest in a better computer to digitize your driving behavior then send that data back to Ford who sells it. As for who knew what and when 1/6 that's being investigated.

As for who knew what and when 1/6 that's being investigated. I'm familiar with that stuff but as I've mentioned previously, I'm skeptical about how well that sort of thing works. Humans are very complex and there are increasing doubts about Google and Facebook's ability to manipulate people or accurately predict human behavior. Documentary film maker, Adam Curtis, has some interesting ideas on that issue. ADAM CURTIS: SOCIAL MEDIA IS A SCAMGranted, Silicon Valley has earned trillions from selling our private information. Regardless of how effective it is, enough people believe in the effectiveness...
