- If you’re wondering if your phone is listening to you…the answer is basically, yes. Big Tech knows your every move, purchase, email, and internet search, but data collection affects more than your Netflix queue and Amazon suggestions. Silicon Valley is cashing in on the government’s increased need and reliance on security technology. VICE News' Krishna Andavolu investigates this unlikely alliance of the Feds and Big Tech that’s ushering in a new era of surveillance, with drastic implications for privacy and human rights.

We’re about 80 billion smart phones too late.
Exactly. Until we are willing to give up all the convenience a phone brings, there is no beating this.
We are waaaaay too late..this ship sailed years ago...now it a matter of how they use it against their targets like people who talk to much...silence the talkers with different techniques and use the blind people against the other people.....AI is learning all our personal stuff on a really deep dark level....think about psychology, Psychiatry and neurology or neurochemistry of each person...useful idiots are useful to someone...and the problem is now in God's hands.
Yepp every single social media app, media apps, etc..
Lol fr all the 13 year olds talking about word wide servalence while posting everything on social media
It's a lost and found device.
They tell you to get lost
But
Then they come and find you.
Just to be very clear, in case anyone overlooked this, the surveillance is not on the billionaires. Their lives are more completely held in private spaces, and they have teams of lawyers to ensure they’re not being tracked in the same way everyone else is if they choose not to be. This is, ultimately, surveillance of working- and middle-class people.
Good point
Elon Musk's aircraft was tracked by a teenager, and his location was made public. Everyone deserves to travel freely without surveillance.
@@nateteator3901 aircraft's movement is publicly available info. The kid basically just took flightradar data of one certain plane and made it into a blog.
If anything it's FAA surveilling his plane rather then the kid.
On top of it there's no expectation of privacy in public.
You can install CCTV on your property and stream 24/7 recognizing every car's licence plate, publishing it, playing with statistics, searching for patterns. It's public information.
But for government rules should be stricter as while you're using your own resources, the government waste tax-payers' and the government has much more power to abuse. Thus all the limitations.
Which they diluted after 9/11
@@nateteator3901 His aircraft's movement is public information. Similar to Taylor Swift's airplane movements. That teenager just googled a wesbite and took data from it. But nice try putting a billionaire to whom laws and regulations do not apply with the rest of general public.
Rich people don’t fly JetBlue mint?
I'm surprised that so many people still go missing with all these cameras everywhere
But how easy it is to find a whistleblower .
Most missing people get found very quickly. Something like over 90%
Lol gayyyyuh
Lol I agree with you. You walk into Walmart and 100% those missing posted on that bulletin board I never hear any word… the feds are the network moving children and adults around.. Human trafficking yo.

People need to understand that America have far more rules when it comes to mass surveillance then Europe where no such rules exist that their equivalent to nsa, cia have rules where they can’t spy on their citizens that simply don’t exist in Europe. Never mind Middle East, Asia or South America. They can use all tools
"Should Americans be worried.....?"
Put it this way - Manning, Snowden, Webb, and Assange are/were *ALL HEROES.* Point ______
Absolutely
"If you have nothing to hide" is a literal Gestapo line of thinking.
Data privacy will be the forefront of modern rights discussions. We need a right to privacy added to the first amendment.
And mandatory opt out features before any info is shared
Would consider my data my papers. 4th amendment.
4th amendment pal. That's what everyone means by "losing our rights". We've had protection under the law for 200 something years.

Yeah. Sure. Good luck with that.
"It's not surveillance, it's for your safety." Scariest words to ever be spoken by authority

Occifer safety 🙄
Also: "if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to worry about", think of things that are perfectly legal one day and illegal the next and realize that "they" know everything you've done, every place you've been. It's not hard to do: abortion, marijuana, prostitution, alcohol abuse, any traffic violation. Anything could be next: being LGBT+, aiding an illegal immigrant, any drug use, pornography. That is why there's immeasurable value in privacy.
If we can trust our own family members, why should we trust corporations and the government?
@@haterfansclub3490You must not be a stock holder
Theres a reason EU is rolling out data privacy laws that are a pain in the ass for companies and users but ultimately there to stop the worst from the worst. Im german and we only recently got StreetView coverage. It was a big blank spot for a long time. After 2 surveillance states we take our privacy seriously.
The most dangerous words ever said... "Yeah but I have nothing to hide". It's not about hiding, it's about privacy and data not being abused by the wrong hands that can access it. They can't abuse it if they didn't have it in the first place. REMEMBER THAT!
Also I don’t trust corporations, nor the govt getting info about human rights advocates
This is what every naive child says. I said that until i was about 30. Young people don't care at all and that's been engineered into society.
Completely agree. This sentiment “I have nothing to hide” turns everything upside down. That sentiment is counter to the U.S. 4th amendment. Why have curtains? Or blinds? Google uses this phrase to assault critics. Everytime someone asks me “what I’m hiding”, I ask “why do you need to know?”
Exactly. Decent people will be discouraged to run for office etc because of these things. However people video you with their phone and it isn’t illegal.

It’s surveillance, no matter how you wanna say it. It’s an invasion of personal privacy to be ourselves.
That's What FBI NAZIZ Do .
It's technically not surveillance, because the surveillance has already occurred. They already have all the data they need on us. This is the first steps of the surveillance state's power in full swing. It's probably not going to stop at the airports. The privacy war is over. We lost. Now the war is over who gets to control that power.
Find it interesting how the majority of people who are Now againts this type of surveillance, would have been totally for it, during the so called Coronu pandemic. They would have loved using it to force the vaccination passports, not letting unvaccinated people travel etc.
Now 1 year later everybody seems to forget they would have sent their unvaccinated neighbor to a concentration camp if they could have.
oyvey
Yes when your inside your house with the blinds closed it’s private but in any area wear the public is or can see then there is no invasion of privacy are we really this dumb
How are drugs going into the country if there’s all this surveillance?
corruption
You'd either have to be foolish or wilfully ignorant not to realize that they're profiterring off our 'drug crisis'. Truth is, they absolutely could cripple the drug market with relative ease (not completely destroy, but critically cripple). Don't ever think anything is 'too low' of an act for the government to do.

It's hilarious what VICE has become under Disney ownership.
To be fair those aren't exclusive things. Surveillance could be considered just a foundational 'component' of security, which would then mean they aren't the same thing (and the agent's description therefore accurate). Not advocating for/against, I just also don't think it's as simple as 1 vs the other
@@caseyyork833 care to elaborate?
@@feefawfern8240 its not fully true, disney does not own vice, they just have around 16% stake in it
@@Lent24 well if survellience is a component of security, then the agent's description is backwards. I mean logically speaking, you need surveillance in order to accurately conduct security. She just doesn't want to say the word to keep people at ease.
as a russian i must say something. here it started similarly, now facial recognition system works everywhere in Moscow, Saint-Petersburg etc, not only in like subway, but on every single camera that you see on the street. yall guys gotta resist it, before it's too late. and either democrats or republicans are not an answer
It’s hard to resist when the government has the power….even here in America
But the people happily trade it for the convinience of the gadgets Apps and all. Just the bloatware on your own phone spies on you. Microphone and Camera used without even asking permission. Let alone all the tracking and certificate thirds bombing. It sucks.
TRUE THAT!

We Americans should be extremely worried about mass surveillance here in the US. Seems like nothing harmful at the moment, but somewhere not to far down the road, it will become extreme government overreach.
Yall been saying that since birth certificates were created
I’m more worried about criminals that are scared of surveillance because they have something to hide

Will become government overreach? It already has.

Surveillance is not being "welcomed with open arms" in the US and it's irresponsible to say it is. Nobody wants to or expects to be tracked and surveilled just because they're in a public space.
Public is public and there is no expectation of privacy in PUBLIC
That's why it's called public
Every indoor space be it public or private is expected to be surveilled with camera if only for safety. Door cameras are an almost direct consumer-government spy ring which has reached sufficient saturation to cover all American cities and suburbs or at least the facing areas. All businesses are expected to be surveilled in and out, as a matter of course, as are all the outside and inside of landmarks and critical infrastructure (which is mostly all infrastructure). Let's not mention the border, or the privacy of "bad people" (which could be anyone).
I think this mostly leave us with the public not "welcoming with open arms" surveillance in the middle of forests and bathroom.
For now.

Why do you think they dropped the towers?
The patriot act did this.
Repeal the UNpatriot Act!! Defund DC and shrink the ruling beurocrat class!
I never have never given the airports, or TSA permission to have my photographic image, they just took it. You have no choice if you want to fly.
Don't fly public. Private or Drive.
You can opt out of taking the image. Step to the side of the camera and say "I'd like to opt out". Most of the TSA folks respond well, only a few are grumpy about it, but it says right there in the fine print we have the right to opt out. I've been doing that since they rolled it out a few years ago
@@annadelamoryeah you can, but your passport / drivers licence selfie is already on the computer.
@@annadelamorwait until you run into the wrong one they can make your life miserable. You will be sitting in the airport for hours I’ve been through it.
You actually do have the choice.
Everyone worries, yet there’s security cameras in every home, dash cams everywhere and if crime is happening, people pull out the phone camera. 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
This is quite literally insane.
as someone who was convicted as a felon over 20 years ago, any intell bug brother has on you, is an automatic assumption at every encounter and it's usually negative
That, the state is evil, not to be trusted.
How is there such a huge discrepancy in the quality of their videos and articles? The videos are top tier.
Short answer: yes
Long answer : YES
Everyone should worry about mass surveillance
Now even on the local level police are using body cams to document the arrest in case they have to testify in court
Patriot Act means Proud Americans taking respect in our technology. Yeah right
Eventually they will shut off your car if you haven’t paid your taxes. Sick world.
@lostinthedesert-hp4bw you have to look deeper. With mass surveillance every journalist, every human, be it just a person, a rights or freedoms activist or anyone can be put down by corporations or whatever huge enough entity. They could pass whatever laws and take down any opposition
Electric cars can be shut off. They can also be shut off with EMPs.

I guarantee they'll do it for less, missed your inspection date, didn't update your address on time, no driving privileges.
They'll paul walker you
The dangers of Vance's ties to people like Thiele are grossly underreported.
Elon as well. He goes way back with Thiel when they created PayPal. Wild to see so many trust him when he’s in the same circles. Like the “free speech” platform isn’t just an easier way to focus on who says the wildest things (then ends up on a surveillance list).
Yeah really, the day I heard about the pick my female boss stepped in my cubical type office just to small talk and then I happened to hear about JD, with a slightly louder than normal voice I said "that's BS, out of all the men it had to be him" I quickly realized my mistake when I looked up to see literally everyone looking over at us and also hearing a few people who were totally laughing.
“If there listening now whats ur message” what a quote
Short answer, yes. They track every avenue of your life, cellular, your isp, your car, at the operating system level, and now a public infrastructure scale.
With your tax money

That Peachtree guy is a creep.
“But we can track when our neighbors come and go.”
“Yeah…”
So happy you had them on....i still rewatch and recommend thie show
just because we dont see it doesn't mean its not already happening
Well, I believe we all do see it.
And most of us have been acutely aware of it - at the very least, since Snowden opened a lot of our eyes.
The problem is complacency and just being jaded about it, overall.
For lack of a better phrase - just being lazy about it…
(Myself included)
Tinfoil hat.
If you do not see a camera, it probably doesn't exist.
And no you do not have your own government agent watching over you.
In other words... The absence of evidence does not indicate the evidence of absence.
They don’t wipe their files when they’re done, they store them in glacial storage. Even *this* message will never really be deleted.
Big ego don't you think?
And? Dont do anything bad and you're fine.
You cant even get rid of it. If the people who claim to be against this, overthrew the government tomorrow, they too would use mass surveillance to keep track of their opponents.
Get used to it.
The day will come when we will have a camera in the toilet
It’s too late to worry about mass surveillance.
Sooo there’s all this surveillance happening but people randomly go missing and there’s no way to find them??
Who is missing? List their names
@@DetectiveTrupo203are you delusional? There are over 5 people going missing everyday in the US
@@DetectiveTrupo203 there’s a big long list, if you know how to use google. Do you know how to us googl little buddy?
That’s because a vast majority of the data they collect on us is what’s known as dark data. It’s basically trash and meaningless, not helpful to any sort of security or investigation.
600,000 kids go missing a year in the US look it up urself bot@@DetectiveTrupo203
How is American govt different from CCP ?
On average you are on a surveillance video 20 times a day if you live in a major US city.
Rouge police officers will not use this tech on their own spouse or neighbor right?
Police will use it to stalk your hot wife.
Rogue. Rouge is French for red
I just don’t want the government to know every little move I make.
every breath you take
every move you make
I'll be watchin you
You really are not special enough for the government to know your every move.
They know when you’re coming AND going so they can entirely breach your homes and personal lives at will with nobody to stop them from that access.
I was thinking the same thing at the very end of the video
If we trust our neighbors why would we need to surveil them
Freedom was yesterday's America.-HST
Pre European invasion ...
Yeah. America is no longer the same country.
In the 1980's and early 1990's America was awesome!
It was so fun, energetic, positive, calm, chill, and peaceful.
@@flowerforsyte5671Yeah the 80s was filled with fun things like aids and crack
The Red Scares and Sedition Acts laugh.
Harmonized Sales Tax
I couldn't help but laugh at,
"So like... I could see my neighbors coming and going..." dramatic music
Yeah... Like you already can with your own eyes... Lol
You're a little late to the party on this topic. Once red-light cameras became acceptable early this century, the flood gates disappeared. Now, besides cameras on street corners, along highways, and on government and/or healthcare buildings, nearly every person has a camera that is susceptible to having recordings used when a crime occurs in order to prosecute, for example. Society has fueled the advancement of the police state against itself.
and yet crimes still happen and nothing is done. It's awful. It's used to abuse more than to protect. I will die on that statement. Example, my car was set on fire, my friends car after giving me a ride was set on fire... I truly believe by the same people... NOTHING was done to help either of us who were victims of that crime. They had footage of both events. Both times the police said nothing could be done. Absolute BS.
@@Coffee.9 wrong, crime has steady gone down along side the introduction of security technology like cctv. Rates of solving violent crimes have gone up. Google is free, ya dingus. Use it next time.
@@Coffee.9 cute anecdote btw
It wasn’t the red light cameras.
It was the PATRIOT act.
edward snowden: Am I a joke to you?
I live in ATL, unfortunately the surveillance actually does not prevent the crime most of us face. My friend was killed in ATL. I would have preferred the money be spent preventing crime then detecting it after it happened.

Fredrich Nietsczhe really had some phenomenal quotes like that.
@@mason96575 Benjamin Franklin actually...
@@BarrGC oh, you misunderstood! I didn’t claim Nietsczhe said that extremely popular and well-known Benjamin Franklin quote. Did not claim that at all.
I merely said he has some phenomenal quotes *like* that.
We all did when we bought smartphones..
@@BarrGC admittedly, I was bored… so I cast that out as intentionally vague bait
