[smc-discuss] Facebook and Google spy on you

[Pirate Praveen]

An excellent article by RMS on all kinds of surveillance.

Digital technology has brought about a tremendous increase in the level
of surveillance of our’ movements, actions, and  communications. It is
far more than we experienced in the 1990s, and far more than people
behind the Iron Curtain experienced in the 1980s, and would still be far
more even with additional legal limits on state use of the accumulated data.

Unless we believe that our free countries previously suffered from a
grave surveillance deficit, and ought to be surveilled more than the
Soviet Union and East Germany were, we must reverse this increase. That
requires stopping the accumulation of big data about people.
