  • rogerdodger9212 Roger Dodger Cain, I agree about Facebook. They are the worst. We will soon all be tagged in images. I have tried to stop this but I'm overwhelmed by the number of $%^&* friends and relatives who see fit to tell the world where I am. I already stopped fighting that demon. Facebook now KNOWS with whom I associate. By proxy, they also know where I go and my interests since my friends and family also post that data on Facebook (including photos with Exim data)! Privacy has been destroyed, and the reckless among us - the MAJORITY - have willingly facilitated this process. However, Cain, I do not feel as you do about a willingness to show oneself to the world. You have an unusual profile. Your employment goals are not apparently subject to the whims of hiring managers and conformist corporate HR personnel. Unlike you, I cannot secure income for myself if staid corporations see pictures of me guzzling vodka or whooping it up like at a massive party worthy of a teenage summer movie. People who are subject to background checks prior to being hired are at great risk of even a single misinterpreted photo or online comment being used against them. THAT is the biggest immediate and personal threat to privacy IMO. In the long run and more notably, loss of privacy will eventually destroy the will of our whole whole society to challenge authority. Everyone will have realistic and important concerns of ostracism, black-listing, and corporate concerns about hiring people who are nonconformist or too unusual. Unfortunately, like you, I don't think we stop the destruction of privacy. The collection of data has already happened to an amazing degree. The next major step is the commoditization of complete, real-time, summary analyses generated from a comprehensive base of corporate, personal, and government databases. While we can't stop the collection of data nor the progress of the commoditization, perhaps we could at least slow down the destruction of privacy and freedom to be one's true self. I'm not too hopeful, however, given the apathy of 99% of the populace. :-b 1 month ago

  • alelongoni Alessandro Longoni, Business Development Manager | Global at Vodafone Group @ransbottyn Dear Cain, some MNOs already do it (in US) some don't, some are working on it but still not doing it because you need the consent of the customer to do it (different privacy laws in different countries - opt in opt out). In your slides you are stating that ALL huge telecom operators are selling your data to marketeers as a service. That's not correct. I hope now it's clearer what I meant. :-) 1 month ago

  • ransbottyn Cain Ransbottyn, Entrepreneur, Publisher, Speaker, Angel Investor at The Other Agency Dear Alessandro, Vodaphone, Telefonica, Amazon & Verizon all sell their data to marketeers as a service! But don't take my word for it... google it ;-) http://mashable.com/2013/01/21/amazon-woos-advertisers-with-what-it-knows-about-consumers/ http://www.research-live.com/news/analytics/verizon-rolls-out-market-insights-services/4008390.article http://weve.com/ http://blog.digital.telefonica.com/?press-release=telefonica-launches-telefonica-dynamic-insights-a-new-global-big-data-business-unit 3 months ago

  • alelongoni Alessandro Longoni, Business Development Manager | Global at Vodafone Group actually it's quite a strong statement to say that Telecom operators are selling your data to marketeers and working in a Telecom I can assure you this is not the case. I would check better that piece of information, Cain. ;-) 3 months ago
