Surveillance in America
Apple disabled the looted cell phones and is tracking their location and passing the information on to law enforcement. An interesting development in trying to track and isolate looters. Technically, Apple owns the device so what they are doing is “Find my Phone” to get it back. And did an organized crime member take the phone? A protestor? Was the phone offered for sale and the new owner get’s a knock on their door from the FBI? Interesting developments and hopefully a way to catch the perpetrators and domestic terrorists.....
If you think about the Edward Snowden revealing the government tracks data traveling through the internet, social media posts, emails, phone calls, etc... You’d think if they were serious about “protecting” American’s they would already exercise their data to know what nefarious acts are being planned, when they are being planned and when they are being planned. Yet they are allowed to continue. Is their surveillance as sophisticated as claimed?
Since the PANdemIC started there have been interesting videos showing cameras being used for temperature read temperatures of travelers with the camera being able to read temperatures and isolate body to track the information to supposed keep ill people for boarding planes, entering countries, etc while they are ill. So what if there were two cameras working together and you could overlay the images of temperature readings with a facial recognition camera and determine the identity of the person with the fever by cross referencing photo databases owned by the department of states, departments of public safety and employers badging records - and take it one step further run the facial data through facebook and all other social platforms? By connecting the dots you can then figure out their address, phone number, who they associate with, where the go etc all using technology embraced by nearly everyone. Then you can turn on their Alexa device or phone microphone and listen to and record all their conversations. The amount of data that can be mined through technology is mind boggling. Facebook knows who you associate with by the friends in your list as well as the pictures you’re in and who you’re with in the photos. Depending on the device used to capture the image, GPS data is captured in the meta data of the image file.
Now that contract tracing is a thing to track the corona virus - various entities are able to track who we come in proximity with wether it be friend of foe. Normal member of society or deviant. Apple revealed social contact tracing information can be collected and you can opt out - just imagine how long this information has been used without the citizenry knowing. One thing with technology - it trickles down from the military and government. Now imagine being able to apply this technology socially.... I hope you’re saying ‘holy shit’ or WTF?
‘Do you see where all this is going? We potentially live under one giant police state. Yet there are riots and looting among the protestors of police brutality among black people. So we either have a complete surveillance failure or those that have access to data and know what’s going on aren’t doing anything to stop or prevent it. Almost as if they data slicers and dicers want the civil unrest and social chaos.
Once a legitimate identity is attache to a social media account a psychological profile and be put together. Imagine what Trump’s twitter rants say about him?
A lot of people embrace technology, social media and the readiness of information at our finger tips no matter where we are just as long as there is a cell phone signal. I think that the opposite is true - surveillance entities have access to our lives just as long is there is a cell phone signal. The amount of information we get probably pails in comparison to the amount of information we give. Information access if free but we are paying a steep price and most of us don’t even know or realize the cost.
I did decide to close deactivate my facebook account. I will be activating to be able to keep some of my writings during corona virus and find a way to put them here. I hope people start to consider the ramifications and cost we’re paying to have all these experiences, interactions and access to information for free......
