Privacy Workshop: Surveillance Capitalism

In the spirit of October, join us on CommunityBridge.com to learn about
the horrors of what is happening to your data!

Manipulation of your thoughts, is not a myth... it is a well funded
science.

Come learn from the people studying this professionally. And then chat
with us after, perhaps about what you're doing to protect your privacy,
and/or ask questions from those who know about simple [and more
complicated] techniques that we can implement easily, and share with our
friends

Shoshana Zuboff on surveillance capitalism | VPRO Documentary

Harvard professor Shoshana Zuboff wrote a monumental book about the new
economic order that is alarming. "The Age of Surveillance Capitalism,"
reveals how the biggest tech companies deal with our data. How do we
regain control of our data? What is surveillance capitalism?  In this
documentary, Zuboff takes the lid off Google and Facebook and reveals a
merciless form of capitalism in which no natural resources, but the
citizen itself, serves as a raw material. How can citizens regain
control of their data?  It is 2000, and the dot.com crisis has caused
deep wounds. How will startup Google survive the bursting of the
internet bubble? Founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin don't know anymore
how to turn the tide. By chance, Google discovers that the "residual
data" that people leave behind in their searches on the internet is very
precious and tradable.  This residual data can be used to predict the
behavior of the internet user. Internet advertisements can, therefore,
be used in a very targeted and effective way. A completely new business
model is born: "surveillance capitalism."
