      Fluffynator it’s a bit 1984 which is what has people concern. Let’s say 10 years from now the US makes going to church mandatory. Let’s also say you are not religious and would rather not go. Well now that they know everywhere you go they know you weren’t at church and can send a fine your way or some kind of re-education police. The issue with mass surveillance isn’t the actual surveillance but the abuse of power that it can and will lead to.

    • @theglitchcounter264
      @theglitchcounter264 4 года назад +19

      Fluffynator the issue is that companies could use this kind of info to easily deny you coverage for insurance, or reject loans on information you don’t know they have. They would have power over nearly every facet of your life. Everything is already controlled in a similar way. But it will be far worse and so deep seated it can never be gotten out.

      They’d be able to work you out. You’d end up going to your place of work at a certain time, and they’d be able to correlate that with your roster. Or they’d count the hours and run it against your pay check. They’d filter by little irregularities like having a morning off here or there for a kids award presentation at school assembly, or the visiting a GP.
      If not those things, then you don’t have an infinite number of shoes, or clothes. They’d match that somehow. Even if you buy generic clothes, they’d be able to build a database on your walk style, so you’d be given a unique entry there.
      Breach any one of these things with a positive ID of you, and they could backdate the whole lot of data, and add it to your profile.
      Despite everything said in this video, I’m not worried by the advent and proliferation of such technology. I don’t go to protests. I’m not involved in any political party planning/meetings/policy making/etc. I’m reasonably happy with how things are in the country right now, and I’m not concerned by “big brother” reading my comments on forums like this.

    The irony of calling a big data firm 'Palantir' is remarkable when the fictional magic artifact(s) of the same name encapsulates the inherent flaws in data collection/analysis tech. While it is not malicious nor inaccurate per se, it does not provide adequate context for the information it presents (e.g. whether an event happened in the past or future, or the intentions of key persons), causing misinterpretations reinforced by misguided trust in the system. Furthermore, it is not secure from eavesdropping, and can be manipulated by powerful figures by deceptively editing its output, controlling the user to serve their own agendas.
    Thus, we are in the position of Saruman who foolishly forsook his wisdom for 'subtle arts and devices'; info without sense is practically nonsense. By mistakenly trading our wits for a mere glut of knowledge, we play right into the hands of enemies who're all too happy to do the thinking for us.

      I doubt Africa is safe. I'm Kenyan, and about a year ago, our government suddenly enforced all the people within the country to have their fingerprints and photo taken. The reason given was that it would allow for faster access to government services but I am certain that more was going on, especially with how urgent the government made this whole situation become.
      If you didn't know, China has a very large presence in Africa and helps develop infrastructure for many nations, Kenya included. This has led to a debt to China in many countries. I like to think that maybe somewhere in that negotiation, personal data of all citizens was given to the CCP to either enhance facial recognition systems or even build a database as China gets hold of more and more power over African nations.
      This is just a theory though, but I don't think it is unreasonable.

    I gave a presentation in class once on how dangerous this technology is. There are 2-3 ways to fool the tech tho. There are makeup techniques that can effectively completely alter your facial features to the point where you're unrecognizable to software. However, if you don't feel like putting on a bucket of paint every time you leave the house, you can apply makeup in ways that mask the specific parts of the face that the software uses to ID you, which confuses it.
    There are special reflective glasses you can wear that make it difficult for camera lenses to pick up on your face because the glasses reflect enough glare to mask you. However, the glare is invisible to the naked eye, and the glasses are fairly inconspicuous, so you don't look like a total wacko in public.

      In some countries however (like Germany) it is illegal to take a photograph of someone's face in public without their permission, so problem solved - one of the pieces of data used by the algorithm is restricted by law and the app is then illegal.

After downloading the latest version of python and typing “pip install opencv” into your command prompt. You google “facial recognition python” and the first result shows a very simple way to make it work in 25 lines of code. As for making it useful, you just have to find someone who’s been programming for a few years and needs money to survive. It’s much more free and simple than you make it sound. Make your social medias private. Also these algorithms can easily be trained using Instagram/ Facebook by just programmatically grabbing images of faces if there are millions of faces it doesn’t matter if they have images of you. You recognize a human face as human because you are familiar with the patterns of light reflected into your eye.

      You're never 100% ghost. The governments (and surely some companies) always have some information on you. It's more like a matter of it being easier or harder for them to catch you.

      Go look yourself up. You can almost certainly find your address, the people related to you, your neighbors, your phone number and email, and then accounts associated with the phone, email or username, AND PHOTOS from the accounts
      So if you used the same username on three social media accounts then they'll have all those accounts linked.
      If your passwords are revealed in a hack then they can also search your usernames in the released files and potentially access your account or accounts, send sensitive files to loved ones, hurt your loved ones with info or insults, offend your boss, get you fired...
      Even if they don't hack you, if you piss someone off, they can look up your username from RUclips or whatever and potentially find you on other sites and see the people you're connected to. If the people you're connected to don't take privacy seriously then the stalker can get info from their accounts as well.
      Like if someone you cut off while driving has a dash cam and gets a pic of your face they can eventually find out where you live and who your loved ones are, and contact all your neighbors and associates listed on whatever site they go to, etc. Or if you go to a bar and someone thinks you're cute...
      This is a BIG DEAL. And most of it is already in place. I'm so glad I never used my real name and face together on profiles. Please no one ever do this unless you really have to i guess, like if you're a content creator lol. Otherwise put up a bitmoji face and make different fake names and elaborate passwords for every site

      Reduce the funding for the military and add to education and healthcare (try to make it free or at least cheaper).

      ​@@justin.a9494 probably because environmental health would get you a lot of backlash from corporations that produce pollution, especially oil. Nationalizing healthcare will probably get you backlash from corporations trying to profit off of healthcare and drugs. Reducing funding from the military gets you backlash from the companies that produce things for the military. So all in all, assuming that all of the above can and will try to stop you (which I won't try to pretend to know how they'd react), you'd be up against a lot of people willing to do just about anything for an extra buck.
      It is to note that in the days of Carnegie, Rockefeller, and J.P. Morgan (early 1900's), their corporations were impossibly massive; Rockefeller, for instance, was worth $400 billion in adjusted dollars. All the above, pretty much about the richest men in the world, met together and pitched in $20 million in un-adjusted dollars to buy the president (McKinley) because the opposing political candidate was talking about dissolving "monopolies" due to their massive evil; as far as I know, Car/Rock, idk about Morgan, horribly mis-treated workers to borderline unlivable conditions. However, some Anarchist guy (I think from Poland) assassinated McKinley. Now, this put them in massive trouble. His VP, Theodore Roosevelt, also hated monopolies and wanted to abolish them via legislation. They had made him V.P. to try to control him, but now he was president. As president, he became the "trust buster" and broke up their corporations, as far I as know. Basically, their companies had to be controlled by multiple different people, reducing coordinated corruption to a degree.
      As a lesson from this, I saw that the above 3 people were willing to do a lot to make money, but weren't willing to try to undermine our democracy and unseat Roosevelt. However, after the Impeachment of Trump, it seems clear that many politicians and wealthy of today are willing to undermine the law in order to serve their own ends.

    The EU would like to have a word with Spielberg about privacy... And I mean that over the years the EU, as far as I know, has shown clear signs of trying to protect the privacy of its citizens, starting with having your pictures be taken to be illegal, to the cookie law, and finally the GDPR. And ofc, there still are plenty of security cameras around, but it's about limiting how they can be used.
    Personally, I don't mind any number of cameras in public spaces, but only if they're being properly used, as in no capturing my personal info, not doing face recognition, not analyzing me etc. It's like being accidentally captured in the frame of some random photo - it's fine, but it's really unfine if I'm being stalked.

    The biggest problem with the argument that we should have no expectation of privacy when we operate in the public sphere is that there is no way to opt out. As the meme goes, we live in a society. Whether through living conditions or a lack of resources or skills, essentially no one alive today is capable of completely cutting themselves off from the public sphere. Unless you live completely alone, relying on no one for anything, in an area that is unclaimed by any government on the planet, you are in the public sphere in some way.
    And even assuming that one could completely cut themselves off and opt out of society, having such a desire is treated as an aberrant behavior that has to be stopped. Proponents of that argument say you have no right to privacy when in public, then become immediately suspicious of and hostile towards anyone who does not willingly give up all expectations of privacy ever. John Oliver had a haunting example of this, where someplace in England put up signs that indicated certain areas were being used to test facial recognition software, then fined a man who saw those signs and started to avoid entering those areas.
