You Are Online, Big Time

You know better than anyone else that our government spies on us, and it can get ahold of tonnes of video of you that you might not even know exists. This is all done because of the way people are; pretty much all of it is out in the open for anyone who wants to look. There is always talk about deeper surveillance of us. If you're like me, or a reader of this blog, then you know that this is all par for the course from the government. Have you thought though about how much information is out there that you don't know about with the social networks? Well it turns out to be a lot, and you (and I previous to going on the run) have permitted it to happen.

You know how this first part goes, you sign up to a social network like Socialmabob or Gabbl and you let it search your email contacts and your phone contacts to find your friends so that you can start talking to them and sharing with them right away. We all do it. We expect when it is done that the service forgets about it. I mean come on, with over a billion Socialmabob users they can't keep scads of useless information. Well... they can... and they do... Not only that but they grab all of the information from your phone and email address book, and then they merge it all together until they know everyone who knows everyone. If you've given your email address or Socialmabob name to friends then the services know it and soon after that the government knows it. Things you thought only friends knew, well they're out there, and there are these massive shadow profiles of you all over the place and mega-mergers of them other places. They have every picture you've lost and posts and updates you haven't had access to for ages.

Things get even worse once you consider what Lookered knows. All of the pictures you keep in your cloud drive, all your music and books online, everything that is on your phone and came to you by email. Don't think that your Z-Phone is any safer either. They sadly may be the worst of the bunch because you know how they are in the public eye, and how they'd like nothing more than censoring and controlling your life to make it how they feel is better. The first thing I had to give up was my Z-Phone when I left my home. I smashed the poor thing and it really hurt until I found out just how much safer I was without it. I got a new one after meeting Melvin and having him make it safe, but soon he abandoned the idea they could be safe. After that we all switched to a couple product lines of disposable phones that Melvin jailbreaks and we conveniently lose at random minus their sim cards, which get burned. We keep numbers and addresses on stripped down, guaranteed offline, devices or memorize them.
