Well... like was said here before - the Internet is a double edged sword.

The government knew well and good the huge advantage it would provide them in monitoring the public and public opinion - and it seems they were right - even many of the well informed members here at ATS still fail to see the subtle danger of this kind of data mining and profiling.

This is probably because most of you have never seen a demonstration of the most modern profiling and predictive software systems - or else it would really hit much more close to home for you.

These systems can often predict our behavior better than we can - and allthough we are under the illusion of total freedom - we are really creatures controlled by a variety of predictible stimuli - and we (even the most independant thinkers) can thus be quite often and succesfully manipulated or minimalized by Govt.'s agencies using such powerful profiling tools.

However, that being said, I think the Western Govt.'s clearly underestimated the "blowback" of putting such a powerful system of communications in the hands of it's citizenry.

And they are taking great strides now to correct thier mistake - by creating a centralized Internet structure through which all communications are datamined and strcictly controlled.

(Internet 2 anyone?)

We must resist this attack on the existing Internet and work on distributing more and more tools to increase privacy on the web - if we are to truly take advantage of this achillies heal which has been planted firmly in front of us...

And although the consequences of using social networks (CIA sponsered or otherwise) seems trivial right now - realize that philosophically and logistically you are playing right into the ellitests hands - empowering them to turn one of the most powerful technologies for peace and proseperity into a vicous control grid that tracks the citizenry like cattle - with no option to "opt out" when the final pieces are in place.

Now is the time for peaceful and informed resistance to avoid a future that has the potential to be more violent and dehumanisng then man has ever dreamed.

Please!

If certain people in power want to have your information, they shall get it one way or the other. Facebook does provide a simple way of collecting information about EVERY individual and putting that in a large database. So what to do with this pile of info? If you ask me, we all already have records somewhere just because we use the internet. Our traffic history is recorded probably all the time. So what? Now we are supposed to stay off the net? What's next the Big Brother will force us to do? Stay at home? Don't leave town? Be paranoid all the time? Not say what you want to? Remain quiet?

Then THEY have won already...


ATS is nothing but some two bit conspiracy site. Rabble-rouser's and talk of reptillians, hologram planes, and faked moon landings. On this site, besides administrative access to a public I.P which gives information that any census has, theres very little access to a persons views on a variety of subjects, they're demeanor, they're spending habits, etc. Facebook provides all this and more, and allows for the Big Three (Military-Industrial, Pharmaceutical, and Federal Oversight) to get in depth access to a persons spending habits, beliefs, demeanor, and more, all of which neatly categorized by person in an easy to access database which seems to have been made almost solely for the perpetual categorization of the U.S population. It's almost identical to the IAO's proposed plans.

For me the most strikingly sinister thing about facebook/myspace is not necessarily the more or less abstract trend-tracing ability it allows those in power to exploit, but rather the very concrete fact of providing highly integrated and exhaustive"profiles" for a ton of people who might usually be a little under the radar, etc., complete with millions of head shot images, photographic images of you with your friends, photographic records of like all your weekend activities who you were hanging out with, etc., and "they" don't even have to do the work because we're doing it all for them.
