If I were a developer/ inventor/whatever, I would be making devices that don't connect AT ALL because I personally have found myself desiring to have them.

ESPECIALLY the journal. Texting is so much faster than writing and when I'm on the go, I really need one.
I have a friend who has no cellphone, no electronic devices, no cable television and no car. It's mainly because he feels no needs for those things but by not having them he's probably keeping himself safer than the rest of us.
Think again. Have you ever noticed the number of surveillance cameras everywhere. They’re on practically every street corner, inside/outside of commercial buildings, shopping malls, ring doorbell cameras, vehicle cameras, and then of course there’s everyone else with a smart phone that’s always listening always watching. Unless this person remains secluded in a cave, he runs the risk of being surveiled.
The funny thing is that no one had to force people into being surveilled. People run to buy all the newest devices with updated surveillance methods. Everyone has been so eager to give up their personal info to social media companies.

Yes, they are. If I send a text to some one or make a phone call, and then ads start showing up where I look on my phone for products having to do with my conversations, then yes, it's spying.
Of we’re being surveilled. It’s listening all the time. It’s not algorithms. I spoke something in another room from my cell and within an hour I received an ad about it. Nothing in my web activity would lead to it.
Spaniards denounce, oppose, speak up, it is part of our history and genes; and that is why Spain is on the forefront. today as it was in the past. Spain was the only country that spoke up about the global pandemic of Influenza A, a denied pandemic that from 1910 to 1912 killed millions. Why is it called Spanish flu?

It's called the Spanish flu because Spain was neutral during the war when the outbreak was occurring, and the only country writing about it. The key was Spain's NEUTRALITY during a time of war.

I picked up an off the wall item at Walmart just to look at. Never googled it or searched the internet for it. . Less than hour later, the exact item popped up in my Facebook feed in a Walmart ad. I'm thinking the box it was in or the item itself had a tracking device in it that linked to my phone.

From the 70's on the fixed phonelines have been monitored, esspecially international calls. With the advent of mobile phones and smart phones this has been included in that monitoring, voice, data. What is not mentioned here is that monitoring also happens with those "Alexa", "Siri", etc devices. How about those Ring type front door devices linked with the internet video and audio. Early on TV's with videocameras were included as mentioned by Edward Snowden years ago. Security camera's in subways/underground, busses, shopping malls, parking lots, highway camera systems... AI face recognition, object recognition accross these networks can help track individuals in seconds. Ronan is exposing this specifically on the smartphones we carry. But this goes WAY beyond smartphones. We had better start to learn to live with it. (or without it).
I’m so glad they addressed the people’s common perceptions and how anybody could be targeted even if they didn’t do anything wrong or don’t have any political affiliation. We as Americans need to start putting laws and organizations in place to protect ourselves against abuse from our own government asap.
Any person in public service, law enforcement, anybody involved in data collection and information gathering, reporting information and especially journalists need to watch Mr Farrow's documentary.
I think this happened to me several times. Everyone I told thought I was crazy. I’m no fool. I’m very attentive to strange coincidences that seem to far fetched etc… people think using an iPhone inoculates or protects/shields this from happening; it doesn’t matter the brand or OS of the device. The microphone and cameras on smartphones can be and are REGULARLY hacked and used for nefarious purposes.
The best thing you can do to set your privacy settings on your phone is find a RUclips vid that will give you instructions. I found that my iPhone had 2 different places where settings had to be changed and they are not intuitively found. Good luck.
Amazing Ronan farrow , looks so much like his father frank Sinatra! Very intelligent! God be with him and his mom Mia farrow. Thank you for sharing this amazing documentary. Pretty much it’s looking like that from long time.
Even when “The Google” asks routinely how I liked a restaurant or hotel even though I haven’t told it, it is quite creepy. Obviously, you can turn off location services, it is quite impractical to do so if you are using a lot of apps, related, for example, to weather. You can easily imagine how a bad person and good person could be on the scene of a crime, and the good person could be falsely accused or, at least, regarded as a person of interest. And then, the innocent person can never regain completely his/her innocence.
Be grateful that they are not tracking, connecting, inserting data into, recording data from, your brain. Memories are questionable, thoughts are questionable, dreams are inserted and no longer your own: totally compromised.
Oi, this boy is very pretty. See I do not say "handsome", I say pretty. His face is so pretty most women would be happy to look like him and I am sure most are envious of his beauty. And on top, he is very smart, absolutely well spoken, valiant, and fearless. So, this kid is a whole package! God bless him
Thanks Ronan. I've been noticing some suspicious synchronization of ads and conversations I've had since purchasing a Google Pixel phone. Doesn't the government require a search warrant monitor our phones?
Why can’t they make an app that can measure the amount of data that legitimately leaves your phone and any measure any other data that is transmitted/pulled off phone and reconcile and it should be detectable. Especially if you put the app on after infected. Has to be a way to measure legit data versus illegitimate data usage just like they meter you data usage. Unless the phone company are altering the records too
What I don't get is that I think of a song, do not audibly express in any way, yet that song shows up in my RUclips feed within hours. Anyone else experiencing this rather unsettling phenomenon?
It’s almost as if your interests are shared by others and generally predictable, especially by algorithms tracking what you watch/listen to. You sentiment is actually proof that they dont need to listen to audio to suggest relevant content. Also, there’s a bias to your personal (and my personal) experiences. Think of all the things it suggests that you have zero interest in. It’s just coincidence that it gets st right once in awhile.
RUclips is a consumer product and the algorithm is in place to guess what you like. If you have ever been in sales, you understand it's mostly about understanding what the customer wants and how to predict that to increase your sales.
Newer cars often have their own SIM card in them and so the tracking and surveillance is not limited to phones. Makes me want to walk with my phone wrapped in a faraday cage pouch
I got a new model car because the gas miles, only to discover that 'DCM' thing that keeps going off, sending my GPS data constantly to Toyota. The dealerships refuse to disable it, it void the warranty if I do (and its carefully placed so messing with it in any way will almost certainly tear a bunch of actually critical wires as well)... Ugh.
Doesn’t matter what you do if you’re within earshot of anyone else or any other of the countless surveillance cameras. You’ll be monitored on their devices!
This reminds me of that old Monty Python sketch, Confuse a Cat, where they build an elaborate theater and put on a play to confuse their cat. We should deliberately live to confuse our devices. Live to screw up their data. Delete the cow for the avocado down by the river who won't scuba software until the New York is especially mosaic.
This is chilling. Why can't everybody get a phone just for calls and text messages and then use an iPad without a phone for online stuff, if that's possible?? People could carry the two around with them but it would be safer.
Yes. Since I disabled access to my audio for all except apps that absolutely require access when being used, brand names and products that I say out loud no longer appear on my social media. Those mentioned on chat conversations however...
Why is this a surprise? Last year google asked me about my location services, They knew I'd been to the fruit store and Walmart that afternoon! They knew I'd been to Cedar Key three months before that! I was shocked at the record of my movements that they possessed! They asked if I wanted to keep receiving the service. I said "no", but that doesn't mean they don't have it...I just don't. Big brother's watching you, everywhere.
Happens in Denmark too. In all big cities young people are using this everywhere. Also criminals use it too. If they can find the signal from your smart phone, they can connect to it very easily
Never been so glad to be a nobody with a boring life as I am now. I don't have any "smart" appliances or TVs or anything except my phone & I rarely leave home anymore. If anyone surveilled me, they'd pass away from boredom. I'm old & poor, so they won't gain anything that way either.
Does your microphone and camera stay off when your phone is powered down? Is it wiser to have a lead box in the home for device/personal protection than just turning it off?

Amazing Ronan farrow , looks so much like his father frank Sinatra! Very intelligent! God be with him and his mom Mia farrow. Thank you for sharing this amazing documentary. Pretty much it’s looking like that from long time.
Ronan is a true rock star journalist. Factual. Fearless. Undaunted.👏💪💪🔥
Even when “The Google” asks routinely how I liked a restaurant or hotel even though I haven’t told it, it is quite creepy. Obviously, you can turn off location services, it is quite impractical to do so if you are using a lot of apps, related, for example, to weather. You can easily imagine how a bad person and good person could be on the scene of a crime, and the good person could be falsely accused or, at least, regarded as a person of interest. And then, the innocent person can never regain completely his/her innocence.
I like Ronan, smart man. 🎉❤
Just into the first 2 mins, the list of nations abusing the technology - and Israel not on the list. It belongs on the top!
yeah, its the one MAKING the tech that allows for this shit.
Thank god I can only afford a flip phone!!
Any thing with speaker can become microphone
Be grateful that they are not tracking, connecting, inserting data into, recording data from, your brain. Memories are questionable, thoughts are questionable, dreams are inserted and no longer your own: totally compromised.
Elon's working on it
Oi, this boy is very pretty. See I do not say "handsome", I say pretty. His face is so pretty most women would be happy to look like him and I am sure most are envious of his beauty. And on top, he is very smart, absolutely well spoken, valiant, and fearless. So, this kid is a whole package! God bless him
Thanks Ronan. I've been noticing some suspicious synchronization of ads and conversations I've had since purchasing a Google Pixel phone. Doesn't the government require a search warrant monitor our phones?
This is so sad and heartbreaking scary, it makes me want to move deep into the woods.😢
Why can’t they make an app that can measure the amount of data that legitimately leaves your phone and any measure any other data that is transmitted/pulled off phone and reconcile and it should be detectable. Especially if you put the app on after infected. Has to be a way to measure legit data versus illegitimate data usage just like they meter you data usage. Unless the phone company are altering the records too
Good Idea!✨️⚖️✨️
Yeah! Paranoia not required!
It's not unreasonable to believe!
Of course it, from working in consumer finance right out of college in 2004 the first thing I realized was personal privacy was a thing of the past.
This so important for any citizen from any pplace, city country of the world. Our privacy is totally compromised.
Stalin would have loved this technology.
What I don't get is that I think of a song, do not audibly express in any way, yet that song shows up in my RUclips feed within hours. Anyone else experiencing this rather unsettling phenomenon?
It’s almost as if your interests are shared by others and generally predictable, especially by algorithms tracking what you watch/listen to. You sentiment is actually proof that they dont need to listen to audio to suggest relevant content. Also, there’s a bias to your personal (and my personal) experiences. Think of all the things it suggests that you have zero interest in. It’s just coincidence that it gets st right once in awhile.
@5hirtandtieler
Exactly right!
RUclips is a consumer product and the algorithm is in place to guess what you like. If you have ever been in sales, you understand it's mostly about understanding what the customer wants and how to predict that to increase your sales.
Cellphones are the new cigarettes. Not necessary and bad for you.
They are good to have in an emergency. I use one while traveling, and hardly ever when at home.
Newer cars often have their own SIM card in them and so the tracking and surveillance is not limited to phones. Makes me want to walk with my phone wrapped in a faraday cage pouch
I experimented with wrapping aluminum foil around my phone 4 layers then called it and it didn't ring. Is that the same?
I got a new model car because the gas miles, only to discover that 'DCM' thing that keeps going off, sending my GPS data constantly to Toyota. The dealerships refuse to disable it, it void the warranty if I do (and its carefully placed so messing with it in any way will almost certainly tear a bunch of actually critical wires as well)... Ugh.
@@richardraymond9108 i think so. Aluminum is a metal and if you make the container seam less so to speak as you did you created a faraday cage
Doesn’t matter what you do if you’re within earshot of anyone else or any other of the countless surveillance cameras. You’ll be monitored on their devices!
@@georgejetson4378 true
Thank you for your work to make the public aware.
This reminds me of that old Monty Python sketch, Confuse a Cat, where they build an elaborate theater and put on a play to confuse their cat. We should deliberately live to confuse our devices. Live to screw up their data. Delete the cow for the avocado down by the river who won't scuba software until the New York is especially mosaic.
Thanks to Christiane, Michel and Ronan! 📱
Whoever hacks my phone will quickly regret it. When I'm alone, I enjoy singing.
Guess Snowden was right 💁🏼♀️
This is chilling.
Why can't everybody get a phone just for calls and text messages and then use an iPad without a phone for online stuff, if that's possible??
People could carry the two around with them but it would be safer.
Because we’re all mentally lazy, are easily misled, and attracted to moving pictures.
Ipads info is linked to your phone, it’s all one thing with different access devices- it’s you
Did anybody ever think they weren't spying on us.
I just assumed this was true.
Yes. Since I disabled access to my audio for all except apps that absolutely require access when being used, brand names and products that I say out loud no longer appear on my social media. Those mentioned on chat conversations however...
Yes, it began 20 years ago in 2001, and it is most likely indicated on your merchant terminal.
Great journalist, beautiful man
Yes, your phone is spying on you. I will just have to go back to very “dumb phone” after the start of the year.
Yes, they know more about me than i know about myself.
Why is this a surprise? Last year google asked me about my location services, They knew I'd been to the fruit store and Walmart that afternoon! They knew I'd been to Cedar Key three months before that! I was shocked at the record of my movements that they possessed! They asked if I wanted to keep receiving the service. I said "no", but that doesn't mean they don't have it...I just don't. Big brother's watching you, everywhere.
Happens in Denmark too.
In all big cities young people are using this everywhere. Also criminals use it too.
If they can find the signal from your smart phone, they can connect to it very easily
Ronan is so smart and incredibly good looking. Wow.
Never been so glad to be a nobody with a boring life as I am now. I don't have any "smart" appliances or TVs or anything except my phone & I rarely leave home anymore. If anyone surveilled me, they'd pass away from boredom. I'm old & poor, so they won't gain anything that way either.
I think often that the phone is also able to read my thoughts. Now thats super-Orwellian...
Ronan is on it!
How is this even a question? Of course it is, duh!
WOW!! It is simply scary...so much for transparency and democracy
Does your microphone and camera stay off when your phone is powered down? Is it wiser to have a lead box in the home for device/personal protection than just turning it off?
This happened to me by a scammer pretending to be an Amazon representative. I was hacked, hacked, hacked.
Yes. Our right to privacy is compromised. It’s like excessive search and seizure by police is against the law, even if you have “ nothing to hide”.
