Every move we make online is being scrutinized.
Don't believe it? Only a few years ago, we reported on a creepy website called 'clickclickclick', developed to demonstrate how our online behavior is continuously measured.
According to news.com.au: "Dutch media company VPRO and Amsterdam-based interactive design company Studio Moniker are the masterminds behind the site, which observes and comments on your behaviour in great detail."
Why would they do such a thing?
The designers claim it was an experiment done in a "lighthearted" way to prove a point: Big Data has destroyed your privacy.
"From the minute you visit the website, it begins detailing your actions on the screen in real-time."
And get this--there's a voice offering a running commentary about your behavior.
"What we do is just a little funny: we use a voice, a kind of psychologist who will assign properties" (to your behavior), they say.
While VPRO and Studio Moniker may just be conducting a funny little experiment to bring awareness, Big Data is busy tracking and analyzing our every move.
Nothing funny about it, especially when you consider:
news.com.au now reports the FBI has been called in to investigate the wildly popular FaceApp over privacy concerns that could pose "national security and privacy risks for millions of U.S. citizens." https://www.news.com.au/technology/online/security/fbi-called-in-to-investigate-faceapp-over-privacy-concerns/news-story/4772fe8513039e6c01d9612e0ab73455
A wise man once said: "Your web searches about sensitive information might seem a secret between you and your search engine, but companies like Google are creating a treasure trove of personal information by logging your online activities and making it potentially available to any party wielding enough cash or a subpoena." -- Electronic Frontier Foundation
"Therefore, whatever you have said in the dark shall be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the housetops" -- Luke 12:3.
