Top 5 Ways You Are Being Digitally Monitored And Catalogued Daily

According to the ACLU’s recent report, we are living in a surveillance society where domestic surveillance and erosion of privacy standards are at an all time high.

Here are the top 5 ways you are being digitally monitored and tracked on a daily basis:

1) Computers and Internet – Internet browsers are recording your every click forming detailed cookies and browsing sessions on your activities.  The NSA has been exposed as having cookies on their site that don’t expire until 2035.  Major search engines know where you surfed last summer, and online purchases are databased, supposedly for advertising and customer service uses.  IP addresses are collected and even made public.  Controversial websites can be flagged internally by government sites, as well as re-routing all traffic to block sites the government wants to censor. It has now been fully admitted that social networks such as facebook and twitter provide NO privacy to users, while technologies for real-time social network monitoring are already being used.  TheCybersecurity Act attempts to legalize the collection and exploitation of your personal information.  Apple’s iPhone also has browsing data recorded and stored.  All of this despite the overwhelming opposition to cybersurveillance by citizens. The fact that laptops — contributed by taxpayers – spied on public school children (at home) is outrageous.  Years ago Google began officially to use computer “audio fingerprinting”for advertising uses.  They have admitted to working with the NSA, the premier surveillance network in the world.  Private communications companies already have been exposed routing communications to the NSA.  Now, keyword tools — typed and spoken — link to the global security matrix.

2) GPS – Global positioning chips are now appearing in everything from passports, to cars.  More common uses include tracking employees, and for all forms of private investigation.  Apple recently announced they are collecting the precise location of iPhone users via GPS for public viewing in addition to spying on users in other ways. Cell phone tracking via GPS and location privacy is starting to emerge as a big issue, especially with more GPS enabled cell phones on the market. Most VOIP and e911 rules now require that your phone must be registered with your location data when you make a 911 call. However, many users are discovering that their GPS phones are transmitting their location 24 hours per day.

Don’t thnk your being tracked or don’t think it matters because you aren’t doing anything wrong? Ever read a book called 1984 by Orson Wells?  Your a cash cow, a crop, something to be harvested, exploited, used and then thrown away.  That is the reality of living in America or this world at this time right now. ~Ophelia
