Say goodbye to privacy. With the Internet and technology, there is no place to hide.
The Wall Street Journal reveals that the 50 top websites on average install 64 pieces of tracking technology onto the computers of visitors, usually with no warning.
The WSJ's Julia Angwin writes: "Tracking technology is getting smarter and more intrusive. Monitoring used to be limited mainly to "cookie" files that record websites people visit. But the Journal found new tools that scan in real time what people are doing on a Web page, then instantly assess location, income, shopping interests and even medical conditions. Some tools surreptitiously re-spawn themselves even after users try to delete them. These profiles of individuals, constantly refreshed, are bought and sold on stock-market-like exchanges that have sprung up in the past 18 months."
Combine that with reports the Obama administration plans to change US law to make it easier for the FBI to compel companies to turn over records of an individual's Internet activity without a court order, and you can see that all those old notions of privacy have vanished.
We have entered an age where corporations and government know more and more about us. Privacy does not exist any more.
