While I find this absolutely disgusting and horrifying, at the same time I hope this becomes extremely widespread and rapidly. This needs to happen to Americans. Only then will we, the collective we, wake up and actually do something and maybe start to take privacy and security seriously.
I am rapidly becoming anti tech, as I think I can clearly see where this is all going. That's hard for me to say, as my whole life has been tech focused. I'm 47 and started coding when I was 10. My whole life centers around it, and always has.
Hitler, Stalin and Mao would have absolutely loved to be alive today and have these types of tools. Maybe we need another 100M deaths to see what this kind of information and power leads to. We are recording everything we do digitally, all to be easily analyzed by whomever comes to power at some future point of time, where the rules might be different. Most of what is recorded about us we don't even know. It will also be easier to find all of the relatives, so they can be killed off too. They like to make examples and ensure no one steps out of line. They don't just kill you, they kill 1-2 generations of your family.
This data won't go away. Ever. They will know who likes what, who supports what, etc. Just a keyword search away from getting a list of names and addresses. We think we are so clever. We are building our future jail. For the first time in history, we have the ability to track every single minute detail about a persons life from birth til death, in extreme, high resolution which grows by the day. I don't just know you went from point A to point B. I know the exact route you took, how long it took to complete each segment, how long you stopped at each place along the way, what those places were, etc. That's just gps data.
I saw the 60 Minutes piece on PlanetLabs recent launch of 300 satellites. They're taking pics of the globe in very hi resolution, constantly. Better than some of our spy sats. Oh, and anyone can access that data. It's free! They showed how they were able to go back in time to when the compound that Osama Bin Laden killed in was built. They were then able to create a very accurate model of the compound which led to the raid that killed him by going so far back in time to when they started building the thing. Obviously we think that's a good thing because it led to a mass murderers death, but think about that technology.... recording everything 24/7, globally, going back years in time to reconstruct something that happened in the past... https://www.cbsnews.com/news/private-company-launches-larges...
