"Why is this time going to be different?"
Well it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see which direction we're headed with all of the outright illegal surveillance of our private lives, are online activities, the searches we do after typing in keywords which seem relatively harmless, but maybe harmless searching is doing more harm than we truly realize.
Attention has arisen as the controversial acquiring of Facebook users’ information has come to a head with the social media giant. They have been breaking data protocols of users’ living in the state of Illinois, and you’ve guessed correctly if you’re thinking it has something to do with strict privacy laws protecting citizens of that state. You see Facebook has a hidden agenda that many are unaware of, some of which may know about the data crunching they have been doing a few years now is starting to put the Facebook community on edge.
I mean first it was TSA, then the NSA doing the ”eavesdrop thing” during our cell phone conversations, then there was email spying done against us and Yahoo was one of the key helpers in that scandal lending our own nosy Government the keys to our emails, and now it’s social media platforms such as Facebook who is upping the ante yet again with this idea to implicate Face-Scanning Recognition to further exploit your privacy rights. This isn’t the only angle to the deception, Facebook hasn’t been playing nice with its users, and that brings us to another aspect that goes on every day in Corporate America, that’s right you did hear me say that phrase.
There’s a software application known as ”Deep Face”, and Facebook is using this technology to collect users’ information, then sell that information off to Security Organizations for a stiff price.
And there's more to the downside factor.
A HUGE monopoly tunnels deep into the furthest rabbit hole one could imagine, because the revenue amount I just threw out was only a provable figure (and that's on the low end of the dollar spectrum). Every day there are millions of people uploading images Facebook, and who knows how many of them are generating revenue (if they're post image ads). It could be BIG BANK accumulating revenue from all of it. Another thing Facebook isn't telling you is that this software is integrated into the site's java functionality script (you do know this includes your Facebook page as well right? Um.. Maybe not.) And this too is done without your consent.
Basically it's like trying to pilot a plane without a steering wheel, yeah you'll take off from ground zero, but you have no way to navigate the plane while in mid-air... Yeah, VERY BAD scenario there. Having your information taken, then sold to whoever without your consent to do so IS DANGEROUS folks!
A good example of this are the militia operatives who target young teens and adults to join into their criminal activities causing constant chaos and disorder in America (as well as other countries.) Yes, I'm referring to ISIS, and as you might recall a while back they where targeting young men (sometimes young women depending on how hostile and aggressive they claim to be in order to be considered a member into the terrorists' group organization) who they meet on various social media platforms.
It even trickled down to young people who play video games on the PlayStation and Xbox consoles, and Facebook does have ties to the gaming community which more than likely goes unnoticed by the kid's parents which is the VERY dangerous part because they are exposed directly to criminals -- which is considered like an open season witch hunt, to intimidate them into joining up with them. A lot of these kids are already going through some serious issues with peer pressure, cyber-bullying, and a insatiable need to be accepted by others at any cost, outcasts are usually the "targeted ones" who fall directly in line when confronted by intimating factors and circumstances. And what about all of the "cyber-hacking" that's been going around like the black plague did years ago. There was a situation where cyber-hackers stole millions of dollars worth of bitcoin eCurrency, and haven't been caught since!
The biggest concern should be the citizens whose personal details is traded for a instant payday by criminal scum who are as just TOO DAMN LAZY to get off their derriere and go get a job! Facebook is no different from these internet criminals as they continually push the envelope to fully establish this overly intrusive "Deep Face" software application. So can you blame users such as Carlo Litala, who are fighting fire with fire against Facebook by turning the tables on them filing hefty lawsuits?
LOL. I'd say milk them for whatever you can get out of them!
See it's bullshit what Facebook is doing as they're enforcing this sophisticated software on its users indiscriminately. This means that people are getting tagged with spyware to monitor their every move (and what I mean by that is when you're smartphone surfing on the site), and they have millions of facial structure ID's tucked away in their database placed under lock and key until it's time for the data-auctioning to begin.
Now I understand why the Steemit community suggests you post your introduction steemit photo with you holding the site's logo image in front of you which gives others proof of who you really are.
Unfortunately, a lot of damage is already done because of Facebook breaking it's own golden rule.
The final say about Facebook's blatant nerve to sell your information behind your back isn't a complete coincidence, and many people are thinking right away.
But doesn't Mark Zuckerberg own it?
LOL, so, so MUCH deception put in front of many innocent users out there yes?
Technically yes he owns Facebook, but at the same time you should be asking the bigger question as to why users are getting censored for speaking out about controversial subject matters.
I throw Facebook into the same category as Google, which is the parent organization of YouTube, and I'm telling you now if you put up something EXTREMELY controversial information or video that exposes let's say a VERY-HIGH PROMINENT figurehead in politics, or information about a well-known celebrity, or maybe it's information on building parts for your gas tank reservoir or your vehicle to run on a homemade built hydraulic drive train engine which are off-the-shelf products available to anyone, which simply means you can make your own fuel-efficient vehicle. So based off these examples, I'll now throw in three reasons why your video MIGHT GET YANKED from these particular sites with that type of information.
Why Facebook Could Now Be Facing Some Serious Stipulations
Facebook is facing charges for violating the privacy rights of its users is nothing new to some, but some of their troubles from all of this started back in 09' which involved a user by the name of Carlo Licata who felt that his privacy rights were in fact being used for intended purposes by Facebook without his consent. Licata took action and filed a lawsuit against Facebook later in 2015, and you probably heard nothing about this suit due to the fact that it was a private suit when it was filed. Another interesting angle in all of this, is the fact that Licata is a Chicago resident (it was even said that two others filed suits against Facebook were also citizens living in Illinois.) You see Chicago of course is based in the state of Illinois (shamefully it's also my hometown, :-/ AND YEAH I'M RATHER EMBARRASSED DUE TO THE STORIES ABOUT THE CITY AS OF LATE) -- However, I digress.
Illinois has strict privacy laws that inadvertently protects a Facebook user's rights to privacy. You're probably saying right about now..
"Okay, but what does that have anything to do with this Licata lawsuit?
Actually, it has everything to do with it.
Licata exercised his amendment rights of privacy we're all entitled to them, but the problem is that these particular "state jurisdiction laws" which applies to Illinois only. Facebook knows this, and is working like it's no tomorrow trying to push for the right to sell users' information (and yes their trying to find a way around the Illinois privacy law,)
and as for other states, looks likes they're fresh out of luck because it is allowed for Facebook to intervene into people's private content, then re-sell it to other security agencies all over the world.
This had to be brought up in conversation, I get tired of people who are being targeted unlawfully. Privacy Rights are meant for the countless numbers of American citizens in this country. There are simply too many people who already hate us! And they would pay top dollar to get all the information they can handle about American citizens as they plot some twisted scheme to do their worst, and the MORE chilling part is who knows when.
Having access to citizens' private info in our nation is simply WRONG ON ALL ACCOUNTS, and Facebook knows that. Zuckerberg could outlaw the requests handed down from top officials in D.C., but he could risk consequences of losing all of what he achieved thus far (despite the fact that he has WAY TOO MUCH DAMN MONEY NOW, and it wouldn't hurt him one bit if he did it for the well-being of the users who logon to his site every single day.) It just goes to show how important we really are to him, and how he truly values our privacy rights when visiting his site.
LOL, HE DOESN'T GIVE A RAT's A** ABOUT THEM OR US WHAT-SO-EVER!
