Google CEO Sundar Pichai's NYT op-ed (May 7): "To make privacy real, we give you clear, meaningful choices around your data. All while staying true to two unequivocal policies: that Google will never sell any personal information to third parties; and that you get to decide how your information is used. . . . a small subset of data helps serve ads that are relevant and that provide the revenue that keeps Google products free and accessible. [Mark notes: this is the data necessary for service improvement and largely irrelevant to Google's surveillance-and-control model.] That revenue also sustains a broad community of content creators, which in turn helps keep content on the web free for everyone. [Mark notes: just like flat-earth YouTubers!]"

  Shoshana Zuboff's new book "The Age of Surveillance Capitalism" describes why Google, Facebook, and other Big Tech companies are so obsessed with spying on every moment of your life. Surveillance is only part of the agenda: what they're really building is a system of predicting and controlling your behavior.

Hi folks! There's even more data that can be picked up - while navigating a website, some activity monitors track your mouse moves as well as clicks to make heat maps of what parts of the site are "attractive" and how long it takes to get to that "call to action" (a button to do something like buy something).

@Folsom Fb is where the people are!

The means for a company to reach customers is always shifting around. Newspapers that everyone read, radio and tv that everyone listened to and watched, email, social media, and now messaging and home appliances. I'm surprised Alexa et al don't just throw ads at you randomly all day like websites and apps do that you've foolishly allow to notify you "occasionally".
