If you open the fridge and can't think of anything, you can list the ingredients that you do have, and google will give you a recipe.
Craziness? I think not.
Well, whether someone has the Google or that Amazon thing at home or they do things the manual way and search via Google on their phone or computer, they are adding to their profile. Most of all they are sadly sacrificing something.
anyone who wants to maintain their privacy in the digital age must not buy-in to the digital age.
Anyone who thinks they can have Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter or even an internet connection AND have the level of privacy they could have pre-internet age is just kidding themselves.
The trick nowadays for people who use the internet is not to ‘have’ privacy but to ‘manage’ privacy. Even posting on these boards surrenders a deal of privacy for posters who are not using a ‘posting only’ ID. Even though feedback is ‘anonymised’, exactly what a member has bought can still be found out in a lot of cases (if you know how).
So would it be fair to say the wish for privacy turns into paranoia wen we suspect the CIA may be spying on us via Facebook.
I seriously doubt that the people who value privacy would think the CIA is actually spying on them individually by looking over their Facebook account. I believe the article addresses another procedure by the agency.
Talking of Paranoia, it has been noticed that many people who don't like the idea of people speaking in support of privacy or health-freedom issues etc. may have paranoid thoughts themselves. It seems they have bought into this hype that anyone who challenges something supposedly sanctioned by the system is going to destroy it and plunge everyone into the unknown. True! I have come across a couple of folks like that in my time. These types of people are why fascist dictatorships have control. Well, I personally believe the system can work, I believe that positive change can be achieeved by peaceful means where decent honest representatives are elected in. One way to ensure good things are done is to positivity engage in "Discussion that challenges supposed mainstream beliefs and officially accepted stances".
BTW: What did you think of Shoshana Zuboff's lectures? They were linked in Post #1 on this thread.

I have all those.....but not in my real name
and pre-internet this using a fake name would not have been a necessity to maintain your privacy.
