🎶I am the definition of an Internet Monopoly,
I Hoover up your data then I model it’s topology,
I influence your buying and your vote with my psychology,
And if you ever twig, you’ll get my insincere apology!🎵
🎶Each time you search the web I make a note in my big database,
Your photo uploads help me guess your weight and recognize your face.
I’ve information detailing each ad you’ve seen and clicked upon,
I even know the username you use on Ashley Madison!🎵
🎶I track you as you surf the web, with magic cookie pixie dust,
I override your Do Not Track, to silently betray your trust.
I’ve even got the DNA, your sister sent to Ancestry,
Oh yes I am the very model of an Internet Monopoly!🎵

In case @hmkyale + @drjrums wonder why I got so shirty about JAMA article calling for #SDOH mining from social networks like, say, Facebook (shirty evidence here: threadreaderapp.com/thread/1075892…) allow me to expound. #cyberwoke
First, ICYMI, Facebook's treachery against patient + #MeToo communities in wake of Cambridge Analytica cock-up reveal. PHI revealed in what members thought were walled gardens? NOPE. cnbc.com/2018/07/11/fac… #HBOC #cyberwoke
Then there was the #MeToo community - 10s of 1000s of members - that got its plug pulled when they complained: wired.com/story/how-a-me… #cyberwoke

Thread (1/7): @TheEconomist published a Special Report Titled "Fixing the #Internet", which relied on #Centralisation as its core lens

Huge victory for a technical community that has spent decade explaining how the architecture & ethos of the internet are under attack.

6 arts!
2. "But like Sir Tim, many people have recently become more critical of it (...) At the heart of their disenchantment, this special report will argue, is that the internet has become much more “centralised” than it was even ten years ago."

3. #Decentralisation is ultimately a question of #democracy. As digital technology penetrates society ever more deeply & the two become ever more intertwined, the rules of the former will increasingly govern the latter" economist.com/special-report…

Any other time, economists would be talking about rising interest rates, ignorant tariffs,
gas prices rising,
huge debt load,
over-inflated stock market,
unregulated greed, &
already in to high-risk investments

Recession imminent‼️

Losing so many jobs, is why low emp #’s!

Stop saying “Facebook data breach” or leak. There was no breach. No leak.

The user data in question was collected legally in accordance with Facebook policies and user settings. That the database was transferred to Cambridge Analytica was a mere developer agreement violation.
Facebook policies allow apps to collect massive amounts of data from your profile. Ostensibly that info is supposed to be used for providing you with a customized service… in reality that service usually ends up being tailored advertisements.
These apps don't just hoover up your data without your looking. After all, you have to to download the app and you have to give the app permission to access your profile. It tells you up front what data it wants access to, and you have to agree.
