Floyd Brown Big Tech Tyrants

Most are shocked when I explain, usually in painful detail, just how much data is collected on you on a daily basis. And while some may opt for the normal cop-out of ‘well, I just don’t care’, you have a very serious reason to do, indeed, care.

The world is a dangerous place. A hell of a lot more dangerous than you know. And its made much, much worse by the power brokers who just re-installed themselves.

You have no idea just what’s visible to a site administrator, especially one from a social media site (any of them and all of them). Militias and political militant groups that really only exist online will indeed find, in short order, that the very mechanisms which link them also make it very, very easy to track them. We did, after all, introduce these platforms to the MidEast not only to aid in destabilization but also to track the potential actors during the resultant crackdowns after the goals were achieved.

To make things worse, once an account is linked to a mobile device, its over- and if this can be done with civilian side programs, imagine what can be done by an agency with an unlimited budget and nominal legal constraint.

Social media and technology will play a critical role in the upcoming troubles, and you have to know how to mitigate yourself against it. Quit taking shortcuts. Real action happens in person and if you’re the one crying online that you can’t find people, you’re either blind or useless.

Wow. So basically… The end of normal human behavior.
This explains Trump Derangement Syndrome and the Trans phenomenon.
They are injecting venom into our minds; Or at least the weaker minded folks.

The solution is to move everything off the central server (which is any free social media) that isn’t necessary to route and deliver messages; to uniquely encrypt every message; to store messages locally; for delivery to be based upon tokenized sender and receiver ID; to not use a platform that is ever connected to the cell network. It doesn’t work well for 1 to millions ala Twitter. It works well for 1 to tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands, which is plenty for trust based groups.

Excellent article. The nature of my profession almost required me to be active on social media. I saw the writing on the wall about privacy 10 years ago and quit all social media. I’m waiting for the day that health insurance companies reject paying for the millennial generations health bills in the future because they have years of social media check-ins at bars, pictures of them drinking and smoking, eating fast food, unsafe sex, etc.

As a non- military man myself, I want to THANK EVERY SINGLE PATRIOT VETERAN ON THIS SIGHT FOR YOUR SERVICE!

The criminal capability was easy to see and identify within the first month of FB. I was still in IT building data farms for EMC and told people on my crew to avoid this platform as much as possible. Every time another platform came out it was the SOS. Data theft and spying on users was rampant then. I used that shithole platform about a month and figured out their game. I left the IT whores in ’07 with no regrets.

Sheeple will follow anything just to have their name mentioned somewhere.
