Individuals can FORGET about PRIVACY -we live in a Tech Society entrenched in "Selling of People"!!!

[Civic Justice]

All of us can FORGET about PRIVACY.... it no longer exist in ways we once thought it did.
The standard privacy statement is nothing but a 'legal dodge" for the acts of profiling people and selling them.

It took Facebook to loose $60 Billion - To Expose The Expanse of "Selling of People"!!!
Facebook's slide cost Mark Zuckerberg $6.06 billion in one day.

It took this kind of loss, before they fess up that they will try to protect people. One has to wonder is that only a kneejerk response, due to massive money loss. Or will they change? Likely they won't change, because their business is not what it started out to be. It started out being a site for University People to Communicate. It became a business, BASED ON SELLING people.... "by Profiling People" and selling that data to ANYONE who will pay, and then it became and Advertising Machine, targeting Ad's to people based on not just their profile; it included "profiles of anything people say, anyone they befriend" and anyone they post picture of. Then... they went into "tagging people" in pictures, many who had no idea that being tagged made them "advertising targets and used as a product to anyone who wanted data to profile people even more specifically.

It went into using ALL THOSE CATEGORIES OF PROFILES, for EACH person who uses Facebook, and anyone they know, and anything they say, and pictures they post, to Profile them for "Political Manipulations" and Anything Else purchasers choose to do with that data. They took it even further, to use the many profiles, to target people based on the district they are from, and target the districts anyone they are connected to.

It used the "Like" button, to add another means of Profile. Each person, may be profiled 1000's of ways, until the individual, probably has no idea, how many thousands of ways they have been profiled, especially to the "thousands, and 10's of thousands or maybe the millions of Organizations, that "bought that data" and added their own additional profiling.

We can never escape what has been done, its not only on the multitude of Facebook's servers, and their many backs, ups, its on the servers of everyone they sold data to, and many who bought it, are likely also secondary sellers of that data to "all" their affiliates.

It has to be the most INTRUSIVE and ABUSIVE misuse of people than anyone truly acknowledges. Its a form of "selling people" with the claim of providing them a "communication service".

If it was an honest company that respected the premise it claimed when it started. NONE of its Data would have been for sale to any organization, advertising and marketing firms, nor to any Political Data Collectors.

I avoid any site that "requires me to use a Facebook log on"... not that it does any good, because "google" does the exact same kind of thing in the same ways Facebook does. Industries within a Category, Mimic what others do in that Category.

These sites likely have their means to do such things as well... by the "commentary" we post. I make effort that I post has a basic theme of premise, and that Premise is "How do we make America Better, How do we make Democracy Better, and How do we promote Civics education, and How do we understand history to improve our future, and how do we call out vile and misuse and abuse for what it is, when we see it. That means, how do we improve the character, dignity and integrity within our society"

but no matter what we do, "we are cooked duck" 'served up Millions of Ways, because we all use "Internet" and "cell phone" and "apps" and 'streaming services" as well as the swipe cards at the various stores that 'almost demand that we have one, or we pay more, and all of that goes through many server(s).

Facebook is only a fractional part, we suffered the results of hacking on the Credit Agencies, and they will never tell us the truth of how much of that data was stolen and we will "NEVER" know how many places and ways it was and still is being sold.

With this kind of Data being sold, we can be assured "Russia" has bought all it wanted. (we have no means to know how much data and what kind was transferred to Russia, by all the "Trump People" who tried to get "back door communications with Russia"

If people Remember, when "Trump Tried To "Get Voter Data from All States" -we don't know all of their real plan for abusing that data.

Then tried to get Data on Hispanic People:

With the use of technology and its many types of "bots" and "AI" - We don't stand a chance, we are profiled so many ways, until we'd be unrecognizable even to ourselves, if we knew the many many profiles that have been framed of us. Phones track everywhere we go, either by google or cell tower pings, and anyone can look at anyone's home with google maps street view, besides the many cameras in some cities that are using facial recognition software, and with "fingerprint sign in", who know how get access to those fingerprints.

We are a society blinded by the technology and its functions, until we have no idea that "PRIVACY" no longer exist !!! Then we now have people with "camera monitoring INSIDE THEIR HOMES" and "these "Ask SIRI" and other units that is constantly listening. Even "Smart TV's" with camera and microphone built it".
Maybe people need to watch the movie "Snowden", to look at the advanced means of remote activation's, along with none of us, constantly is looking up, so we have no idea how many drones fly gathering data, not to mention the high resolution satellites, owned by various entities and the government.

It's not the Old Days Anymore of Wired Telephones and Radio's. The AGE of Information - is about "us" and data profiling of "us". Privacy is now made into an illusion.....

ATM cards track everything purchased and what of monies people have or deposit and spend... even cameras capture cash transactions. I've seen people use an ATM card to purchase a package of chewing gum.

People Living OFF the Grid with No electronic and digital units has the closest thing to Privacy that exist in today's world, and they too have to "shop somewhere".
