All run by US big corpos ready to gather data on everyone, great thanks Kier really the most important thing right now
Are you more worried by American corps “gathering data” rather than the potential for actual, physical misuse of data in the UK? What are the corpos gonna do, advertise to you?
While I get that sentiment its becoming clear to me that the corps are increasingly supplying data and inferencing models to governments.
Moving forward the business model for data collection is less about advertising and more about social ‘guidance’. The extreme is Palantir supplying ICE with AI maps and they then knock on doors of immigrants.
But we can expect a lot more creative coercion moving forward. It will affect us all
Palantir supplying ICE leads to the direct harm of ICE busting down your door and shooting you ten times in the back out of self-defence. That’s not just corps “gathering data” that’s law enforcement committing abuse. In the same way, if we in the UK give the police facial recognition technology it could be used to commit abuse.
That’s a far greater potential for harm than just “oh no, details of my face are on Google’s servers”.
I’m worried about both, but given the execution of people in the US right now, that seems the most worrisome fallout given Farage could be the next PM
The UK government won’t stop until every man, woman, and child has a camera pointed at them from bathrooms to bedrooms, 24/7.
Ironic if you’re reading this on a phone or a tablet.
A tiny black sticker over the cameras handles the video concern. Mics are another matter.
But we can’t afford to fund the NHS? Fuck this cunt hole of a country!
Can we maybe one time not expand police overreach?
Surveillance state.
