We should add that this is not just for high-school students.

Many adults go through life oblivious to how they are being led to believe all manner of hogwash, not by #advertisments but by content that looks and sunds #authoritative. sincere and even at times humourous.

The above BBC #documentary is a must for all ages.

Wow...
What an astute observation on how people are manipulated and exploited to serve the bottom line of #business/#commercial interests, as opposed to the benefits to the customers!

Thanks FSF,

A passiveAggressive abuse is the #opacityZero that js-requiring sites feature. There might be a way to detect such (when a browser has #javascript disabled) and ask to remove the CSS?

We've also boosted often since January the growing danger around #lazyLoading images.

Though not using JS, it can argueably be used to fingerprint visitors, infer their #readingSpeed and as such #targetUsers with *bespoke* lazy-loaded images like #advertisments at the end of an articles, etc.

@SuperDicq
It gets worse. This has all the fingerprints of #Microsoft #Patent #060606 on it. Possibly representing an incestuous partnership between the two #TechGiants.

Read about the 15-or-so different #brainwaves they'll be collecting from people while they play and watch #advertisments.

Think targetted #stimulusProgression…

And this time our #society lacks the understand it had in 60s to #rebel.

We were talking to a young man recently.

He exclaimed, "I just want to be left alone! I don't want to search for something on #Google and get #advertisments about it on #Facebook. I now have a #camera in my work car, pointed AT ME LIKE I'M A CRIMINAL."

It was a shock to see the detrimental effects of #thePanopticon in action during this chance encounter. It motivates us to get the word out.

There is another way!

We hope he's doing better since talking to us.
