Polls: Technology & Internet

I think this is unhealthy and dangerous what do you think?

Governments are keen on driverless cars – they offer the chance for even greater tracking and control of every citizens' whereabouts... the UK government has promised driverless cars to be on the road by 2021 and other countries plan to do similar.

Digital privacy: You want no information about you and data generated from your online activities be known, shared, used, and/or sold without your explicit consent.

Digital security: You want your personal details and assets linked to those details from being stolen, used to impersonate you, and/or to cause harm to you including people related to you.

Digital anonymity: You want no information about you and from your online activities be used to identify you. You want no digital trace to your identity.

Have you noticed physiological effects of using EMF devices (wifi, cell phones, portable phones, etc?). A list of issues are noted in bold. I've had sensitivity issues with EMF from certain smart phones (iphone especially bad), portable phones and routers such that I'm quite cautious using them, and turn them off. This makes me quite concerned about 5G rollout.

The following report indicates some negative effects of this technology. "Dr. Pall confirmed that the current 2G/3G/4G radiation the population is exposed to has been scientifically linked to: lowered fertility, insomnia, fatigue, depression, anxiety, major changes in brain structure in animals, cellular DNA damage, oxidative stress, hormonal disruption, cancer, and much more."

Are you one of the people who try to get as many followers as possible or is it whatever to you? Do you think it says something about a person if they have loads of followers?

I hope this question isn't the wrong way to get started here lol, hope you have a nice Thursday!

The chances are companies have collected, stored, studied, and sold data about you, including your age, gender, race, employment status, geographic location, interests, hobbies, friends, family, shopping habits, political views, voting intentions, and many more.

It does not end there; privacy intrusive companies track our online and offline activities. They use the data to build sophisticated algorithms about you, to influence your thoughts, online and offline behaviour.

I do not like companies collecting data about me. I do not like companies like Google identifying my geographic location from its search engine. I do not like YouTube (google) collecting information about what videos I watch. Although I do not use Facebook, Instagram, Snap, LinkedIn, and Amazon's Alexa, these companies are reportedly collecting, storing, and using data about you, and in most cases without your understandable consent.

I dislike the thought of a data harvester selling my personal data to a data broker, and companies using the data to build algorithmic profiles about me and following me online ads with products they think I'm likely to be interested in.

I want to gauge the opinions of fellow GaG members on digital privacy.
