Big brother is watching.
A month ago my I pad asked if I wanted to upgrade the program during the night. The program stopped in the night and in the morning I had a black screen and the I pad was locked up. After several trips to computer crevice centers I was told to contac the apple factory which I did and was told to take it to Best Buy. They returned all the functions with the upgrade for free but now on Facebook I have all the information of Model T people I spoke to or had anything to deal with within the last year that have a Facebook account. I spoke to people all over the country and if they didn’t have a lock as to whom can access their personal information and pictures, and their friends, they are open to the world to see everything.
It was a pleasure to put a face to the names, but, that is not the point. Why did I get the gift of being able to spy on all of these people, and who else also has access to this private information.
Check your Facebook account and redo your setup to only include access to your friends and not all the scammers that are also looking at your information and who you are friends with, and all of their information through your Facebook page.
We get enough scams without this additional information out there, please protect yourself.

Re: Big brother is watching.
I would not log on to Fecebook if you paid me $1,000.00 to do so. Yes, Big Brother is watching, and so is every septic creep on the planet. It's not just Facebook, either.

Re: Big brother is watching.
There are many BIG BROTHERS - Amazon is the biggest - they fooled small businesses into using their site to sell goods,. Then they used that data to know what people buy and stocked those products by geographic area. They know more about you then you do.Sarikatime wrote: ↑Sun Nov 28, 2021 10:56 amA month ago my I pad asked if I wanted to upgrade the program during the night.

Not sure if you noticed but some applications let you logon with conditionals (userid/password) from other sites like Google, Facebook, Twitter etc
What did you expect? Suggest you check your phone /tablet apps to see what privileges you agreed to let them have access to (contacts, pictures etc, etc)NOW here this
If you have a smart phone - Go to settings and in the search field enter COVID. For Apple phones they added a Covid Tracker on your phone without you knowing - (you agree to these types of updates ) That app is supposed to alert you if you were exposed to someone with COVID. Also on a smart phone you should turn off access to personal data and location.
The biggest calamity is when you agree to upload your data to the "CLOUD" or sync your devices. The "CLOUD" is a database of multiple users data. Now that you have done that you have saved then the time and effort to organize your data, you did that for them. I have 50 years IT experience and 30 in data management. And yes I did that too!
Another case - My Son's Family gave us a Google Home Hub for Christmas last year. In order to use it you need to down load an app on your phone. I could add cameras, locking devices, thermostats, speakers etc etc, all controlled by my phone. This is what that app would have had access to if I agreed. Selling the Hub

Re: Big brother is watching.
The spreading of personal information is vastly more sophisticated now, and in new media, but remember phone books? You had to pay extra not to have your number and address published. Directory assistance was free for years (Free= hidden in your phone bill.) Then they started charging a separate fee when you used it. Now you have to pay a "free" website to find somebody's number. If you read newspapers from a hundred years ago it's not unusual to see people's addresses included in stories about them.They also included the person's race (if they weren't white). Before there were phone books and yellow pages, there were city directories listing the addresses of individuals and businesses. Often they included a C after some names to indicate that the person was "colored".
I don't recall people being as bothered by all that that as we are today, probably because today's info gathering is more pervasive and new pernicious uses of it have been invented. See Minority Report. It's not surprising that we're more paranoid than our grandparents.

Re: Big brother is watching.
We used to live in a (mostly) civil society. Shysters often landed in jail. Now they run for public office, and more often than not, they are elected, and relected, again and again. Many of these "leaders" seem to have boundless sympathy for every sort of criminal, including repeat violent offenders, but none for productive, law-abiding citizens.

Re: Big brother is watching.
Of Illinois' last seven governors, four have ended up going to prison. We're about due for another.Mark Gregush wrote: ↑Sun Nov 28, 2021 4:27 pm"We used to live in a (mostly) civil society.

They are:
Rod Blagojevich — Governor from 2002 through 2009, when he became the first Illinois governor in history to be impeached. Convicted of numerous corruption charges in 2011, including allegations that he tried to sell or trade President Barack Obama's old Senate seat.
--
George Ryan — Governor from 1999 through 2003. After leaving office, was convicted of racketeering for actions as governor and secretary of state. In November 2007, began serving a 6 1/2 year sentence in federal prison.
--
Dan Walker — Governor from 1973-1977. Pleaded guilty to bank fraud and other charges in 1987 related to his business activities after leaving office. Spent about a year and a half in federal prison.
--
Otto Kerner — Governor from 1961-1968. Resigned to become judge, then was convicted of bribery related to his tenure as governor. Sentenced to three years in prison.

Re: Big brother is watching.
Do NOT run for governor of Illinois if you are a racketeer! Seek an office in Cook County or Chicago city government, then jump to Washington.

Re: Big brother is watching.
The term "meta" in Information Technology refers to "meta data" meaning data about data. In other words all the data (information) collected about your ID, plus statistics, profiling etc, etc . You may not have realized this but your "ID" behind the scenes & screens that ties everything you do isn't your Google or Facebook Userid/app ID but your phone number. You (your family) include it on about everything thing you do and it is the common thread. Reason we may change our address but go out of our way to save our phone number trough various carries.

Re: Big brother is watching.
There is a guy I watch on youtube stuff, Rob Braxman, "the privacy guy" he calls himself. He says that most of the apps on your smart phone are connected to facebook. Zuckerburg has a deal with Mcdonalds, ETC. to share what goes on with your phone app usage, so he says facebook knows more about you than anybody, US government included. And, they never delete anything. It used to be just a marketing tool, but now they really want to track your whole life for computer models. I never have been on any social media stuff except a few car platforms, and will not ever have a "smart " phone.

Re: Big brother is watching.
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google, YouTube, etc are all private companies and don’t care about your rights or your privacy! All they care about is money and power. The information you provide them with when logging in gives them both.
They all are allied and embedded with the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) and they care nothing about your free speech. They have been and are demonetizing and banning conservatives on their platforms. Including a then sitting president Donald Trump!
For further information on this go to frankspeech.com this platform of free speech came into existence because of the nefarious activities of the mainstream media and social media sites. It was founded by the My Pillow guy Mike Lindell.
You don’t need to register or give your personal information. You will get real news and facts that are banned elsewhere.
Here is but one example of the work being done there to save our country:

Re: Big brother is watching.
We got to this point because people don’t really dig into the background of the people that get elected to office! Either they don’t care or they believe just like the folks we now have in the White House! And that’s the worst thing.
Remember these folks were elected by folks that believe the same way they do.
The blind are leading the blind who are blind to begin with. And by the way the guy is senile!

Re: Big brother is watching.
Well said!
On frankspeech.com you can see 100% proof the election was stolen. How many people know what a packet capture is? I didn’t, but I learned our election was hacked and votes flipped on election night. Much to the dismay of those countries involved the entire internet traffic was recorded in real time. Our votes were stolen from us! Regardless of what political side you are on, this should matter to all of us-we are all Americans and the vote is our say in how we are governed.
But I don’t want to spoil it, go to frankspeech.com to learn more. In my opinion, unless the 2020 election fraud is addressed, we are 1 or 2 election cycles away from losing our country.
Precinct level paper balloting and counting with signature id is the only way to secure an honest election going forward.

Re: Big brother is watching.
Those of you who refuse to use FB are missing out on a lot of Model T information and groups. You can sign up for FB and put in a fake address, fake phone number, fake DOB , etc. If you want to add a picture all you do is click on the picture. If I remember your name and nothing else about you I can contact you. I dont need your email or your phone number. Even Steve Jelf is on FB and he's older than I am.

Re: Big brother is watching.
Personally, knowing what FB and others have done to free speech in this country and their participation in election fraud I could never justify using their platforms. They literally are denying you your first amendment rights as well as banning the truth about the election theft from their platforms. They are as un-American as it gets!

One problem with "Big Brother" is using people's names and ruining them. My name is Norman and it was ruined by the movie Psycho. My granddaughter's name is Alexia. Well now if she is near one of those machines, and someone calls her name the machine takes over. Now Karen's name is being ruined When will it all stop?

Re: Big brother is watching.
Working with a friend out in his shop listening to music thru his phone we ran a test and talked about snow skiing (just talked) within 20 min the ads were for ski resorts.
5 years ago they had private software where you could take someones picture and thru facial recognition identify that persons social media and compile enough data to predict with an 80% chance of success where that person would be in 2 weeks at what time based on the data had been collected.
Your phone collects a ton of data about its surroundings whether or not you have services on or off. In fact it collects this information whether you have it on or off. In fact it even collects this data whether or not you have service. You can't turn this service off, the best you can do is limit the transfer. When you have service that monitors data transmitted it won't transmit until there is no charge. I.e. when you connect to wifi.

Re: Big brother is watching.
There must be some type of container in which you could carry the phone which is shielded from the signals so that it would neither transmit nor receive unless you took it out when you want to use it. Newer cars also have means of tracking their location. I know that on my computer (I don't use cell phones) I get a report every month which tells me how all the systems in the car are doing, and whether I need something serviced. So I'm sure they can track the location of the car as well.

Watch out for smart TVs. They have cameras watching you watch them . If they collect data on half of us maybe we will get adds for Model T parts? Hey they will see there is a good Market for US made antique tires!
