Do You Know Why Google, FaceBook , Instagram, Twitter etc, are all FREE....?
Title changed from :
Book Recommendation: FUTURE CRIMES by Marc Goodman
to
Do You Know Why Google, FaceBook , Instagram, Twitter etc, are all FREE....?




Why is Google, Instagram, Facebook all FREE?

Its a simple but amazing business formula. Even you could do it:>

1. Simply create a functional website which offers a free service, and make sure people in their thousands and millions avail your site.
2. Collect data on all your users.

3. SELL this information of each of your profiles to those that are ready to buy them.


Thats it! PLATFORM/COLLECT/SELL.
And in a year or two you are a billionaire!


Here's a list of info they collect on you. This is only a portion of the 1500 specific information bits they collect on you:


race
gender
phone number
type of car driven
education level
number of children
square foot area of your house
portfolio size
recent purchases
age
height
weight
matial status
politics
health issues
occupation
right or left handed
sexual orientation
Mistress if any if married
(how do they know if you are having an affair? Simple; you will install one of their dozen apps on your phone. This will track your exact location at all times. If during a time period your phone is located next to another phone , lets say every week at night or afternoon, they track down the other phone and know that you are having an affair)
Pets
Pet breed type.
Physical routines
Food preferences
MOst objects shopped for
Vacation locations

etc .....

How do you think Google, Facebook, Instagram all made their billions? Simple. They sold your data to corporates who needed them. Corporates shell out huge money for product related data mines, and Google and FB have huge stacks of pesonal data to sell.

Did they take your permission to sell your data to others?
Nope.
How much money do they make selling your information to third parties? MILLIONS. BILLIONS!

And that weird looking Google Street View car that came in to your street and was supposedly taking pictures of your street? That wasn't the whole story. The car had some special tech that just swiped your wi-fi login info off the air of your house!!
Here: >
Google admits collecting Wi-Fi data through Street View cars
[link to www.theguardian.com]

This book is a must read for everyone who uses the internet. Written by an ex-cop , Marc Goodman was a senior adviser to Interpol, a futurist-in-residence with the FBI, and trains police forces in dozens of countries around the world. He is the founder of the Future Crimes institute . He continues to investigate the terrifying intersection of science and crime, and in this book, sheds light on the dark side of technology.

If you didn't get it yet:

Yes! YOU ARE THE PRODUCT!!!

Here's an example:
If you use Google documents, then did you know that Google has created a legal umbrella where it can open and collect data from your private documents?
Here's a peek at their Terms of Servie: (TOS)

"When you upload or otherwise submit content to our services, you give Google (and those we work with) a worldwide license to use, host, store, reproduce , modify and create derivative works, such as those resulting from translations, adaptations or other changes and license to communicate , publish , publicly perform publicly display and distribute such content."/color]

Yes you heard right; freedom to DISTRIBUTE YOUR CONTENT!!!

How do they get away with this?
Google and FB's contention is that you post something personal because you have nothing to hide. They don't explain how it gives them the legal right to sell your information.


If Mark Fuckerburg and Googles owners didn't mind such breach in privacy, they surely wouldn't mind uploading intimate videos and details of THEIR private lives would they? Who are they having sex with? Where do they vacation? What do they do in thier toilets.

Exactly the opposite. FACEBOOK collects your data and sells them to private parties, yet Mark Fuckerberg BUYS all the four houses adjoining HIS house?Why? Because he wants PRIVACY!!!

Lol. Thats a joke right.

You listening to this sheeple?

Tip:
IF you are having an extra-martial affair, leave your phone at home whenever you visit your lover. And if your wife discovers that every week you leave your phone at home, then switch your phone off, remove the battery, then keep your phone at home and off you go to your lovers place.

We now enter phase II of the 'conspiracy theory' world.

Everybody with half a brain knows these things.

But here you are advocating people cheating. No moral high ground for you!

And besides... if your phone goes dead frequently, people can still connect the dots. That won't help you get away with being a male or female whore.

"The world will soon wake up to the reality that everyone is broke and can collect nothing from the bankrupt, who are owed unlimited amounts by the insolvent, who are attempting to make late payments on a bank holiday in the wrong country, with an unacceptable currency, against defaulted collateral, of which nobody is sure who holds title."

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

Some of it is. But the full extent of this info does not sink in unless you mull it over. Why do people continue to voluntarily give away their data? These companies are still making millions off you.

This thread is to wake people up to put a stop to them trading your personal info. You need to make laws that keeps your data safe.

Have you done anything to counter data mining and data trading? No? Shouldn't you?

Or is it:
"Oh, we know all this , but we still like to let them do what they are doing..."

I also think before I click anywhere, which also helps a lot.

Still all of this is just slowing the amount of data they collect. If you dont want your data collected, the only option is to throw your cellphone and PC away.

Yes, your ISP and carrier know everything you do on the web. So even if you avoid google like the plague, the data still gets collected in other ways. Don't like it? Get off. No other way.
Some people believe they can post anonymous here as the AC title suggest. But each post is linked to an IP address, which is linked to your name and address.
