They say they are collecting all this data for advertising...so that they can recommend "just the right products" to us (who wants those stereotypical recommendations anyway...I dont). But anywhere large amounts of profiles and data is collected about a person its more a gestapo/stasi/CIA type thing to me.

Hold on a second there...is it true that the ads we see on ATS are driven by what we post?

Seems to me your phone does the exact same thing the site you volunteer for does....Just 'sayin!

That refers back to my previous post. The more mundane information they have about us - the more the potential for profiling rises. We are at an unprecedented point in history where "thought crime" is a reality.

Imagine finding yourself in a holding cell somewhere - and an agent comes in and says "Your daily e-behaviors fit the pattern of a....."

We're being conditioned, currently, to end that sentence with "terrorist" and to accept it. But the more data they get and can analyze... the more labels they'll add into the mix. Advertising is only part of the game. And even that ( advertising ) is based totally upon psychological manipulation.... so the two things together are even more scary...

Imagine a world where known drug users ( even those trying to straighten up ) get Google hits tailored to their inclinations. People in Alcoholics Anonymous getting liquor ads... One could suppose that "interested parties" could literally use a persons known behaviors as a means of pushing them into a compromised legal situation.

It is like television.

They create a system whereby they are able to disseminate propaganda and confuse the masses. Then they make it to where you not only want this propganda, but you are willing to actually PAY them to acquire it.

The same with surveillance. They create a system to watch you, then convince you that you want it and make you actually PAY them for it.
