So Many Apps, So Many Ways To Track Everything You Do, Say, Think, Read, Watch Or Buy

Or rent, borrow, steal, consider, shop for, plan, or whom you love, hate, or admire. They'll know your dreams, passions, hobbies, politics, and then AI (artificial intelligence) will classify you as good, bad, valuable, or worthless to the system. In the last case, you won't be needed or wanted by the growing state, authority, powers-that-be, and global control. Think it won't happen? Really... well, I've got news for you it's already happening here at home, and while it is much more obvious in China as it is out in the open and openly stated by their Communist Government, we really are not that far behind. Let's talk shall we?

The topic is: Freedom, Liberty, and Personal Privacy in the age of Big Data and Artificial Intelligence. So, let me take you through an easy to consider thought experiment and set of circumstances, and I'll do it in laymen's terms. Ready?

Recently, Amazon had a press release on how they planned to deliver packages inside your front door, using their special smart-home lock and security system, then a few months later they announced they would deliver packages into your car, as long as you had On Star, which allows you to use an "unlock feature" if the user shares those two Apps together. This strategy makes a lot of sense for apartment dwellers or those who live in high-rises, deliver to the car, it's easier for everyone, plus if you work (meaning you have money to buy stuff online) at a big corporation, chances are good you park your car in the corporate parking lot all day, have it delivered there, better than leaving it on the porch so the package might be stolen right? Sure - but, let's talk about where all this is going?

Do you have a fitness App? Do you use mapping software? These Apps keep track of your location, your exact location via GPS. If Amazon has your car's location at all times, or anytime you have a package ordered for something, you've once again given away your location to their cloud. Not that your location information isn't already known through other Apps. Are you beginning to see how all this information about you impedes any hope for autonomy or privacy?

Not worried yet? Well, I guess I am not either, but I am sure you also see the future and the writing is on the walls - Resistance is Futile (period).
