Why do we put up with that on the internet?
Internet Piracy or Privacy
Internet privacy from search engines to most websites is an okie doke joke for folks who enjoy inhaling smoke trading clarity for hope. Internet privacy is just like health information privacy, email privacy, cell phone privacy, debit card privacy, credit card privacy, smart device privacy, home security device privacy, payments made with cell phones, any in-home device such as Alexa, Echo, etc., any in-vehicle device such as mapping or Onstar, Hum, etc., any fitness tracker or exercise device or bracelet such as Fitbit, Apple watch, any device where you can remotely control your home appliances and lights, drones are us privacy, DNA privacy, and pretty much everything else that should be private, but ain't never been in criminal lands. Read the privacy policy of every place that says they are protecting your privacy. Read all the EULAs and policies on websites and places you visit, whether you are a member or not. Most of them gather everything the law allows and then some. And that makes it all right, we say to ourselves. All of those websites and brick-and-mortar business and government places gather what we put up with. Most of them say all information you put on their site, they can use forever in any way they choose, even if you delete your account. Then they say you better not use their information in any way.There's so much privacy in the world, that's what must be causing websites to be broken into constantly and that's what must be causing rampant identity theft. Any excuse will do when lying to self.
First of all privacy was not really talked about that much. That's when we supposedly had less privacy. Then, in the past 15-20 years, privacy is being guaranteed and all sorts of measures are being taken to ensure it, yet there is clearly less privacy. That's how it works itself into a comfort zone because our minds are trained to accept, ignore or not notice contradictions? Do we have privacy or not? We certainly have more privacy policies and so many places insisting they care.
Or is the privacy they insist, really the level of piracy that exists?
The difference is subtle and easily missed. Anytime you think businesses or governments care about your privacy, you will be wrong most of the time.
The easiest way to know is by the position they ask us to assume of bending over and touching toes, in order for the two of them to keep us occupied on all sides, until we just comply and deny we're living very non-private lives. What we should already know is that the most popular people, places and things among the masses online and offline are the most likely places of distractions while the piracy of so-called privacy is going on. Noun you know it's a cons-piracy to inflict self-harm in the confirmation bias of mass company.
I was told invasion of privacy is just business.
I was told invasion of privacy by government keeps us safe. The universe is telling us what is hidden is being revealed.
It's all coming out in the basic aspects of nature.
Coming out in superhuman nature and coming out in human nature. What has been said above is that internet piracy of privacy is the quintessential beginning of the end of the last little bit of privacy we have. And we are happy to be so lucky to have so much "technology." Who doesn't know spies are being spied on, lies are being tied on and the melody has changed to the same song, keeping us going along thinking rights can be equitably administered by the makers of wrongs, until we have no sense that privacy has been long gone?
How Would You Like It If...
When you went into a store or bank or government building or stopped to get gas or pulled up to an ATM, that anything about you, what you were driving, wearing, what kind of car, who you were with, anything you said or did, that those places could use that information in any way they choose, including sell it to others?That's exactly what most websites have changed their “Terms of Disservice” and “Piracy Policies” to. Here's pretty much what most websites now say: Any content a User submits, posts, displays, or makes available, is “User Content.” How we use User Content. Unless you have entered into a separate assignment agreement with us, you own all of your User Content.
[My comments are, this sound good but it is to trick our lazy minds, because the rest of the paragraph goes on to say:] You grant us a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, transferable, sub-licensable, worldwide license to use, reproduce, sell, offer to sell, translate, modify, publicly perform, publicly display, distribute, and make derivative works of your User Content.
[My comments are: Now, as if this wasn't bad enough, most websites come back again and take away what you thought you had in the first place. They say...] Nothing in this Agreement shall restrict our rights under any separate content assignment agreements or license agreement.
[My comments are: In other words, even if you had a separate written agreement with the Company who owns the website, and that agreement said the company AGREES TO NOT use your User Content, the Company is saying our rights to use your User Content still exist because our rights cannot be restricted under any agreement that is separate from these Terms of Disservice you are agreeing to by using our website or even by simply visiting our website for even a second. Most Websites have adopted this language.] So are you okay with any place you physically go to in person, recording any and all information about you and then being able to use it any way they choose. Every time we go to the grocery store or to work or walk down the sidewalk. This is the extreme social sickness foolishness we put up with on the internet....meanwhile we feel fortunate to be “connected.” Most websites also say, when you tell us “Do Not Track” me on the internet, our website ignores you and follows you anyway. They say this in a sneaky way so we just pass right over it. In fact, less that five percent of people who visit any website or use any website, actually read the polices and an even smaller percentage understands what they read. Websites are allowed to stalk us. WE agree to it because we don't realize it and we feel there is no other choice because all websites of a particular service we want, are all colluding to do the same thing. Most websites have the pop-up message that says: by continuing to use our website your are agreeing to “this and that” and “such and such” and our cookie policy, privacy policy and terms of service. It's ridiculous, no one has time to read all those policies and read them again when they are updated.
We live in societies that writes laws, rules, policies for the simple purpose of establishing plausible deniability and an escapegoat reason for doing what they do. I challenge all of us to fight back and for us to develop companies that don't take advantage of us and our privacy rights. If any one establishes a new company providing any product or service and that company does not take advantage of our rights to privacy, it is incumbent on us to support those companies. Isn't our privacy more important? Or have we surrendered to the abuse of others peering into our private lives without shame because we play the game where we are always on the losing end in terms of our rights and other resources....we get products and services and we pay money and we pay with our privacy rights and we are happy to be civilized while being unknowingly traumatized by our private lives being privatized. And they call us pirates. Meanwhile, while we're working on starting new companies and alternatives to current companies and “ways of doing business,” we should read the policies of at least three of the websites we visit most, and re-see for yourself, what we are agreeing to. None of these agreements are too complicated if we simply take them sentence by sentence and don't allow them to trick us with wordiness and language. Whatever your first thought is as to the meaning of what is being said, if it is in your favor, you have misunderstood. If your first thought is, that it is in the company's favor, then you have understood.
Most companies online and offline will tell you all the benefits of how they are helping you, then they will muddle through all the “side-effects” of doing business with them. This is subpar status for the course of our societies and what we gladly and hungrily accept as “good living.” Which obviously means no privacy.
Oh well, that matches our definition of freedom in a suboptimal context worldview where we confuse better lives with battered lives because we've warped reality to adjust to abuse and drink Jim Jones Juice at the national level because we're afraid to call it a one-sided truce, thus we, the genetic potential of the Creator, are reduced.
Look in the mirror, at all other creatures. They all have more privacy and freedom than us. Our freedom and privacy is in direct relation to the primary use of free will.
It's one thing to be controlled by another species, and it's a sad thing when members of the same species control each other, not just in small groups, but when large groups allow small groups to dictate life and existence.
And again the truth is told for the umpteenth time. All alphas become omegas and everything that dominates must become subjugated. Furthermore, that which never gives up the fight and struggle of resistance will receive assistance from the root directory. And that which goes along will suffer along with those whose time out has come. If don't do something to help ourselves right now and regain control of our minds, information, context, meanings, definitions, behaviors, then when the core of the resistance spills over beyond critical mass.....we must change and make public outcries about the nonstop invasions of our private lives and our freedoms, which by the way, when was the last time you seen 'em, either or both, at the same time, in the same place? Get out and find out. Or is it find out and get out?
