Topic: Companies that are scary - page 8. (Read 2465 times)
We should be much more than scared, we should be terrorized. Never in the history of manking little groups of people have achieved the power to know so much about so many people. This Big Data shit can very easily turn into the worst of the nightmares for most of us...
I am really scared of Monsanto and the Pharma. They are basically playing the role of god with nature and they are so huge that there´s not a lot we can do.
I agree with this one. We areworried about our personal data an meanwhile the farma is creating new ways of not healing us, but making us their perpetual clients.
Of all the large companies that are now large internet players, do anyone particularly scare you in terms of how you data and track could be used? Amazon, Facebook, Twitter, …?
Honestly I do not care about the data and track about my identity. I have not posted anything that will endangered me or my family. Aside from that these sites are bound to some rules, regulations about privacy. They will never share or sell your data unless you, yourself leaked it to the public or somehacker penetrates the data base and sell the data to other company.
Now it is difficult to hide all your information when there is an Internet, bank cards, and so on. But I do not want to believe that our data from social networks is being processed or stored in the database for further use. Although everything can be.
Whatever site that holds up on your personal data can be a possible threat any day, no doubt in that. Thought these are giant companies with loads of trust and security, as they say, but at tge end of the day, they handle more than half of our daily lives.
Be it facebook or twitter, people stay here any number of hours and share their personal details and what not.
The new iphone X with the feature of face recignition is all the time 24/7 tracking your face, isnt that a threat in itself? The camera is always on for getting a face to be recognised, isnt it capturing your daily activities?
Many such speculations arise with different big companies. But the mass operates based on the trust over these companies believing that our data wont be breached. And everyone hopes that it never does.

companies have good and bad features. sometimes we cannot see those reasons and its effect to our investment. so, i guess certain companies like internet companies, some of them are scary in such a way that it is a scam. all of the efforts, money and time of the people can be wasted. there are people who rely and waiting on their salary but none will be given to them. and that is the most scary thing that some people is facing.

For me I trust the companies most specially the social media. Right from the start equality in social is fare. Not only that I owe Facebook a lot because they are giving me the right client.
It doesn't scare me most specially the companies of social media, maybe for people who don't have the right credibility or should I say whose hiding from the law or the people whose have the intention on doing bad to someone.

I'm surprised that nobody mentioned the colourful monolith, all knowing uncle, the great cards dealer, advertising croupier etc. etc, google.
Latest days where quite saturated with news regarding this giant being able to record and store all our voice commands.
Check this out if you missed it somehow, it is always voluntary but enabled by default, so it is possible to "stop this service" but... service as a part of the android system is still there and running.
And how many other instances of our data collection (unfortunately still voluntary) are there? Most of googles services require us to have some sort of additional sensors enabled, I can only imagine, how much data they posses daily on one single individual. If this isn't scary, idk what is.

I am quite scared by the popularity of those voice devices. I am sure that Google and Amazon and whoever creates a personal assistant will not resist the temptation of using all that data.
Nowadays that we're living on the "digital age", internet along with social networking sites, buying and selling sites and others have been part of our lives. It makes our lives easier, I think it wouldn't be scary if we use it responsibly. Do not overfeed all your personal data on a certain site, especially if it isn't needed. Be a responsible Internet user and think before you click.

While those are scary the biggest company of all which is the governments you should be probably more concerned about them. I wouldn't doubt if they had information on us at all times of the day, and they basically do due to cell phone and credit card tracking.
My point was that people will always be people. We all screw up and tend to follow the herd most of the time.
You completely glossed over the fact that such social media experiments show that it is indeed possible to target and manipulate particular demographics based on their social media/ net habits.
For example, Someone with access to all the google, twitter and facebook meta-data and the motivation and resources to mine it can easily divide people in groups as being favorable/ non-favorable to a particular candidate or proposal. They can then target the users accordingly to shape their opinion.
Denying that its always only "stupid" people who fall for such tactics is giving too much credit to your own thought process. A majority of people will change their opinion when bombarded with a particular ideology on their social feeds for a long enough time.
Have no doubt, people have been manipulated all along history, and everyday, is just human nature and nowadays is just the same thing but more scientific, digital and more acute.
Some companies are some time not want to collect the crypto and in the case of bitcoin all the companies who understand the bitcoin importance they are willing to accept bitcoin but the some users of Facebook and the you tube channels are restricting bitcoin and this issue will be sort out soon. The current demand of bitcoin shows the presence and importance of bitcoin It is good to know that which companies who are accepting bitcoin we have to buy from them.
it is very bad that the infrastructure for Bitcoin users is still not developed and even in some countries there are small changes, but not as I would like. But I think that everything depends on the users themselves and their progress in this area. 
Google can track all of us does have smartphone's, even there's no data on your phone it does know what you are doing and where you are standing.

From the three you mentioned, Twitter and Amazon ain’t much of a problem, but Facebook is. Facebook is the most intrusive, and worst part of it is that you have their app on your mobile device, it never closes (even if you try to ‘force stop' it) rather it stays on. I can’t tell the reason why they do that, but it’s very suspicious. Well, that one is not much of a problem… the most intrusive (whatever) is GOOGLE.
Google takes every information about you, monitors your location (even when you don’t want) and also monitors what you do on the web. Creepy right? Meehn, Google is worst that the others. And that’s why I don’t switch on my phone’s GPS (Location).

I think Facebook, Twitter and Youtube, because people can upload fake news and some videos that are not suitable for kids, they cannot stop also those fake accounts that spread malicious ads and comments.

I think Facebook is the most evidently intrusive. They monitor all of your online activity pretty much and then shape your thoughts and such with targeted advertising. There will come a time in the future when the world decides it needs to take a step back from such intrusion in to their personal lives.

such as free advertising from all internet actors, and inevitably soon they will close the way for users who do not pay.
