Just for fun, who knows more about you?

[Viking Guy]

Aside from your spouse or immediate family, who knows most about you? I'm thinking either the mailman or the garbage man. The mailman knows my interests via my correspondence, the garbage man knows what I eat and my vices. Anybody else?

[lyman]

garbage man never sees my garbage, or the recycle peeps,
since it is all picked up mechanically, (driver stays in the truck)

probably a couple of folks I would call best friends

[Allen]

Hopefully the garbage man mostly see's garbage bagged up.

To answer your question: Anybody and everybody due to all the now legal spyware, spam and tracking built in on our computers and TV's. Then there's public records that reveal WAY too much about our belongings, what we pay, our address/phone numbers (which is personal property), where we work, our net worth, our religion, our political party preference and on and on. Now biden wants the IRS to snoop into our banking accounts.

Some of us remember 1984 and the theory that our government would one day spy on us w/o our consent. We just make it easy for them now.

How much spying and data collection is done by private companies?
As I told a lady in church, privacy is like safety, fitness-and Christianity. It is not something you achieve, it is something you practice.

Good points Allen but even you have to admit that a certain political faction has joined the trend as far as attacking balloting, even to the point of making ballots no longer secret in the name of "full transparency". They want to know who is voting against them and who isn't voting for them.

Google monetized human activity, that information about you is sellable in exchange for free services. Facebook hosts you for free, then their AI monitors your activity and feeds you sh*t scientifically proven to addict you to their experience.

Compared to certain political factions, and big tech, the government shows hardly any ambition at all.

I have a friend that is an IT Guy,
he was doing some IT work for a local politician running for office

he can set down at a lap top and in a few minutes tell you more about your habits and trends than you would believe

the amount of info out there is amazing, if you know how to get to it

[one shot]

In many ways we are our own worst enemy but only if you care about it .

Very good description of the Progressive Left Socialist Democrats and thier media supporters.

The janitor at the company you work at knows a lot. My buddy mentioned that no matter how they tried "the word" always got out about layoffs ect. He said it was poor house keeping by some employees and of course loose lips.

FB actually amps up the right wing stuff in their feeds, because it's a better fit for their addiction model. Of course some take it too far and then they complain about censorship.

As for the ballots, just look at who is demanding "full transparency", but only in certain regions.
