[QUOTE="Beerus, post: 10425, member: 1"] I have always been a bit of a tin hat with certain things but realizing how HUGE data collection is today is just a mindblower. I never trusted Apple or Microsoft when it came to operating systems. I did finally make the switch to Linux and I am very happy I did at this point because I think data collecting and harvesting is only going to get worse. What is amazing and scary at the same time is that the data we release online through apps, social media, and so on is not only collected and stored but analyzed to the point where they can actually predict what people will do next. Muta is spot on with this stuff. He wants people to better protect themselves. Too bad channels like his weren't more popular. [MEDIA=youtube]doM7cbN1sJQ[/MEDIA] What is sad is that most people don't even realize what is going on. I am always hearing about how people use Facebook and Twitter and even Instagram to the point of basically giving a play-by-play of their day, what their thoughts are, what they are going through, sharing every emotion, life milestone, and opinions without even considering the consequences much less what this data is worth. Facebook alone has made it so easy for data to be collected from people because they freely give it out without hesitation. I don't know if any laws will be put in place to better protect us any time soon but I hope you all are using your virtual condoms. If you're not... [ATTACH type="full"]1394[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
