I get so tired of Google spying on me every minute of the day. While I am on Bandmix, the hour glass NEVER goes away. My computer is scanned and hacked every minute here, mostly by Google. Any time now I expect to look out my second story window to see someone wearing a Google jacket to be peeking in my window with their video cam.

At the bottom of the page where you can see who is loading and unloading stuff, Google and others never cease to target your computer.

Now Google has followed me home. I am getting junk mail directly from Google. Anyone else getting that crap? :twisted:

Nah, no junk mail from them.

Just decals and sh*t for my stuff. I may be a bit of a google fanboy.

And it's google analytics that you're waiting on. Without the analytics, the internet would, quite literally, collapse. It's a choice you have to make. There is no privacy, and can be no privacy, on the internet, no matter what you think you should expect. Live with it, or unplug it.

dizzizz,

Now tell me something I am not aware of concerning Internet privacy. Now the gov wants public service workers to spy on customers. They want garbage men to look for suspicious anything in your trash. All gov workers will eventually be spying on everything you do off the Internet also. So it is the escalation of this snooping that I am curious about.

I have posted the information below on several occasions. What I am saying is that the activity is going far beyond what Google analytics is constantly doing. In case you didn't read it before:

The investment arms of the CIA and Google are both backing a company that monitors the web in real time — and says it uses that information to predict the future. The company is called Recorded Future, and it scours tens of thousands of websites, blogs and Twitter accounts to find the relationships between people, organizations, actions and incidents — both present and still-to-come. In a white paper, the company says its temporal analytics engine “goes beyond search” by “looking at the ‘invisible links’ between documents that talk about the same, or related, entities and events.”


However, having Google invade my snail mailbox is an escalation of up to no good as far as I am concerned. Actually, if it were not for bills and junk mail I wouldn't get anything at all. I should just put the mail flap on my trash can and save opening my door to let the cold air into my house.

The American way of life is dead, as we knew it. I think they are searching out dissenters now for future usage. Paranoid? Naaaaaaaaa.

Facebook hijacked an email on me. They said that it was because the person sending me the email had "quoted" one of my responses to her post?
I have every security setting there on max. I have all apps blocked. They not only were monitoring this person's page and responses, but obviously also their personal email.
This is out right spying on me and invading my privacy!

Hayden, you're now part of the big Omega. You're in the system, you can't resist'em.

Here is the interesting thing in this whole debate though. If half the world is watching the other half of the world then who is the one watching the people who are watching you?

I could state this more simply. It is impossible for any group or entity to possess enough resources to keep tabs on the entire population. On top of that watching people just doesn't make anybody any money. That's the real kicker...

Ask yourself, why would Google be harassing you? Spying on you? If there is a good answer to that question then you might indeed have a problem; however, I do find it more likely that they are in fact not targeting you specifically. Obviously I would need more information to draw a concrete conclusion

You’re not paranoid Slacker, just old enough to actually remember when liberty in the US was a foregone conclusion. We’ll be perfectly content to forgive astonishing trespasses against our freedoms, to release us of the burdens and risks required in maintaining liberty. You all remember now: “Behind every rock and tree lurks a terrorist and your neighbor is suspected of being amongst them”. This makes all things absurd acceptable.

Pick any PC agenda and it’s no coincidence its based upon the fear, that other’s might still have the ability to live in contrast to the popular hysteria and in the practice of personal liberty. Your neighbor is not only willing to spy on you, but actually cant wait to testify at the witch trial too! Like Nazi Germany, we also will eventually just politely smile and agree with everything the government presents as necessary for survival. If we can still have Cheerios for breakfast, what more could we possibly want out of life?

Hayden remember that plan for US world domination I posted a little while back and the incentives that will spur it on? Some recent developments, the clock is ticking. I thought we would have more time before losing the apparent economic/technology edge. It’s quickly slipping out of their grasp, so they will have to act rather quickly, if at all. It was easy for Great Britain and post WW2 Europe to recognize our ascension as the world’s dominant power, since we shared similar values. Will we do the same for China? I don’t think so.

You really don't get it? Google, the CIA and In Q Tel are compiling information on everyone. Why? Information is power not commerce. Recorded Future is their newest venture. it is a web bot, so forget individuals wasting time on you. Look up Recorded Futures for yourself.

What is legal today will most likely be illegal tomorrow as we head down the path to socialism. Your religion, your political viewpoint, and your associations may not be in the best interests of tomorrows government. If they decide that you are a nuisance to them, you will be easy pickin.

Nothing paranoid about that at all. As lalong mentioned, our freedom is being nibbled away at day by day. As long as they are demonizing the other guy and going after him, you see no problem with that.

Only the very short sighted don't realize that after they are done with him their attention may be directed towards you. To be informed is to be paranoid. :evil:

Phil that’s it in a nutshell. We will all witness it, and even talk about it as for as long as we are allowed. But there is no plan to actually do anything about it. The only thing close is the ACLU and the Tea Party. Once again both options are riddled with extremes that don’t appeal to the image of a moderate. You’re either really safe, or really radical. We are a country of over three hundred million and the best we can manage are peaceful protests of a few hundred thousand? And even then those efforts are publicly held in contempt as responsible representation and taxation are the mantra of the nut! As if the peaceful assembly of several hundred thousand fellow citizens, is some old quaint luxury of no consequences.

Where is the outrage? Where are the sit ins at the airports, when our dignity and intelligence is threatened? How about the boycotts for using companies based on their implementation of technology to intrude on our privacy? What will we forgive short of NSLs, domestic wire tapping, torture, search and seizure without reasonable suspicion, detainment without the assumption of innocence or constitutional provisions, monitoring and the recording of emails and browsing history, propaganda programs based on fear, efforts to limit travel and limit live social interaction, the obsession to have our identity positively affirmed, wire tapping through inactive cell phones and locations through built in GPS. The establishment has taken ever effort to make sure the status quo will continue.

Most of our social interactions have been refined to the internet and phones. When they finally throw the switch and after a time when it’s restored, your representative will be found under “this number is no longer in service”. What will we all do then? It’s absolutely crazy and can’t happen here?

When the actual changeover happens it won’t be met with wide spread rebellion, but with one long disinterested yawn. But I have to say as bad as we think we’ll have it, the rest of the world is in for some serious punishment, as our government no longer pretends and is actually totally free of the shackles of the morality of the people. It’s a necessary evil, if we are to survive as we do now into the near future. Given the measures the government has taken against it own people, I feel it realistic to assume radical government reform will not happen in a “good” way.

As a country we are not going to sit back and simply watch as China emerges as the next dominant superpower and as the masters of our own debt, no more than we are going to let Islamic interests ration the remainder of the world’s oil supply. Which one of my assumptions are crazy?

Either of these scenarios are enough for the ruling elite to spin a lie into action. Both of them occurring at the same time? Forget the lie, let’s move right on to the action part, the will of the people need not apply. Like Iraq, we’ll be appropriately coddled through apologetic rationalization. As any Roman can tell you citizen, what we do is for the benefit of all civilization. Now don’t make any waves and enjoy the spoils of the plunder. As if you would have any other choice?
