#adtech tracking and associated #datamining and brokering at this point basically creates a dossier on our whole lives that includes where we have lived, who we associate with, our sensitive personal health information, and our sensitive personal financial information.

If/when new laws and regulations in the medium term make this unfeasible, #Google wants to be prepared.

Just reading an article about #dataMining in #denmark . It uses algorithms to spot people to look into further in case they might be cheating about #socialSecurity. But it occurs to me to ask: why doesn't any propose to use such systems to identify people in need of help?

This is an old BBC News piece on data mining. Let's put it in context. My VPN has, in the past seven days, blocked nearly 40,000 tracking attempts by data miners embedded in the BBC News app on my Android phone. Forty thousand, and I'm paying for the data throughput.

#AI #GenerativeAI #WebScraping #DataMining #Privacy #DataProtection: "What kind of info are we comfortable forking over to the AIs, if any? Right now we are in the midst of a destabilizing moment. It’s alarming, yes, but it’s also an opportunity to renegotiate what we do and do not want to hand over to tech giants that have been gathering our personal data for decades now. But to make those sorts of decisions, first we have to know where we stand. What are the websites and apps we use every day doing with our data? Are they using it to train their AI systems? What can we do about it if so?

A good rule of thumb, to begin with: If you are posting pictures or words to a public-facing platform or website, chances are that information is going to be scraped by a system crawling the internet gathering data for AI companies, and very likely used to train an AI model of one kind or another. If it hasn’t already."

Interesting, and a bit scary, frankly. I also have to wonder about the privacy implications.

India’s Data Protection Bill a threat to privacy

The Bill violates the right to privacy, grants unchecked powers to the government, and expands the scope for surveillance. The rights of 1.4 billion people in India hang in the balance.
