      Things are only going to get worse. Read Revelation 13 about the beast: “He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond to receive a mark in their right hand or in their forehead, and that no one may buy or sell lest he who has the Mark of the Beast or the number of his name. Here is wisdom, let him who has understanding calculate the number of the Beast, for it is a number of a man and his number is six threescore and six (666).” Revelation 13:16-18

      Why do I say this?
      Ted Gunderson a former FBI head of 27yrs+ turn whistleblower spoke about the criminal activity of our government in length from the 80’s - early 2000’s. CIA ran Pedophile rings, the hundred of thousands of missing children a year a result of their doing, drug trafficking, pornography, and more... One of the statements that always stood out to me was, “You will know of the name/presence Illuminati at a time when they believe their powers cannot be undermined.” Funny how much it’s become apart of mainstream pop-culture.

      That's been the entire history of the US government. In some ways, yes, it is arguably beneficial (ie. large economy, business-friendly environment) but in a lot of ways (and in my personal opinion) it is detrimental to the personal lives of citizens. If anything, I'd love to somehow see lobbyists banned from Capitol Hill but, also imo, that'll never happen. :(

    I would add that those "Terms and Conditions" be limited to about 5 small paragraphs and translated into everyday English that everybody can understand instead of that legal jargon that they drop on you.
    Our surveillance system looks like China's (unfortunately), but instead of giving up our privacy completely to the government we're relinquishing it to huge private corporations and they in turn monetize on our information, make themselves beyond wealthy. We might be just one president away from a dictatorship. Who would've thought.
    Meanwhile, jobs don't pay proper salaries or hourly wages, people are getting kicked out of their apartments because having 2 or 3 jobs isn't enough to pay rent or mortgages and the homeless population keeps growing. And, all those companies and the government know who they are (homeless) but do nothing to help. Lovely!

      Alexandra Floresteanu it is the European legislative framework on data protection that applies to personal data of people in the European Union. Long story short, several of the threats listed in the video are considered rights infringement under that piece of legislation. There is also the Law Enforcement Directive (LED) that applies to some policing activities. Most of the threats eu citizens’ data are exposed to come from the data transfer to non-EU states that usually have lower data protection standards.

      Thats just false. If that was true you wouldnt hear the clicking of your -shutter- aperture when you turn on your camera app, because it would already be set to record at all times. Now, audio recording maybe. However, it would either have to be discarded or sent to servers very quickly, otherwise it would end up taking huge amounts of space on your phone. I do know for a fact that everytime you say "ok google" to your phone, the recording is sent to google servers and stored there.

    I'm writing this from the US,.... but back in the "old days"😆 people used to have ethics, morals... that would ring in their heads saying something like "This is wrong, I can't do this." People had a conscience. They used to know what was right from wrong,... and whether something is wrong and it's being done to you, them, someone else,... Wrong is wrong, is wrong, is wrong. .... And "good people" will NEVER do things to other people that they KNOW IS WRONG!!!
    It's like that shock experiment... (forgot the name of it!!!☹️) Where the one guy is giving the other guy shocks per orders of the test manager.... And the guy who's getting the shocks is yelling out in pain with each increase in voltage... At one point, he starts crying out that he has a heart condition and his heart is starting to hurt.....😲
    See this is just the thing.... We got people making minimum wage, to millions of dollars, .... all willing to do harm, or the "wrong" thing to our fellow man, without conscience.
    I really, truly believe that people were not always like this. People knew right from wrong, and wouldn't throw anyone under the bus!!! Not for all the tea in... Well, you get the point. Anybody have anything to add to this.... I'd Love to hear what you think.🙂

  • @consciouscrypto3090
    @consciouscrypto3090 5 років тому +7

    Reminds me of the Chinese Cultural Revolution. There was this policy for about 2 years that roughly translates as "1000 Flowers Blooming." The policy was to encourage diversity of expression, to encourage public dissent, as a part of helping the nation become stronger and more conducive to well-being for all citizens. For 2 years voices critical of the government were encouraged to write, give speeches, express their ideas for what was wrong and how things should be improved. Then came the purge. Most of those people were either killed or sent to "re-education" camps. What defense did any have when their own public writings and recordings were used as evidence against them under the new laws?
    You see, by the time you know you need your privacy, it is too late to protect it. You can only protect it now, while what you're doing naturally is not yet deemed illegal. Now is when you don't want the information being collected regardless of how innocuous it supposedly is.
    Using VPN. Covering your laptop and cell phone cameras. Having a mic plug in mic sockets that records no sound. Turning off location services on your phone. Using encrypted email and messaging services. These and other actions may seem paranoid for someone not breaking any current laws. The issue is that we never truly know we will never be a target of Fascism, for it picks its own targets.

    I think the “willing” part is a bit of a misnomer
    A lot of a misnomer actually
    We don’t willingly give this up, we don’t have a choice about giving it up if we want to use the benefits of technology. If developers made it optional to give the information I bet most people would choose not to. The developers don’t make it optional at all or if they do make any of it optional they make it very hard to enact.
    This is not an accident. There are people who have been building this very intentionally for many many decades now. Why do you think you never got a choice about whether or not you gave your information away when you use the software? Why do you think it’s written out in endless tiny prints so you don’t want to read it? And why is it so hard to retain a copy of it for ourselves?
