The surveillance already may be deeper than we think. On Monday I was in a car, four hours from home, with four other people, all with iPhones. We passed a business I’d never heard of, and I mentioned I’d like to know more about it. No more was said about it. Yesterday, on our way home, I checked my email and had received an email from that very business, a chatty introduction to their products and a link to their blog. Other than sidebar ads generated by my actual browsing, I’d never experienced this, and thought I never would because we don’t do Siri, Alexa and such. But it seems something is listening to speech anyway.
Around the time Edward Snowden was prominently in the news I remember quite a lot about the 24/7 “listening and watching” even when the mic and camera functions are “off”.
The time is soon upon us when to have a conversation in person that we wish not to go into the profiles being built for each one of is, we will need to use methods discussed elsewhere to ensure our many devices are not picking up what we are saying and doing.
This, in addition to rewriting and deleting information everywhere. I don’t have means or space to collect hard copy books; I urge all who can to get your hands on as many books as possible and store them somewhere safe from the elements. Isn’t that what St Patrick did when the “hordes” invaded, burned and pillaged Ireland, thereby “saving western civilization”?
