I don't like it. I see it is coming, but I must not like it at all.

The article is about internet data of course, but i wonder ...

Did anyone protest against the surveillance in e.g. London ?
There are cameras everywhere, by now.

No.6 "Be seeing you".

Patrick McGoohan got it spot on, who would have belived it back in the 1960's.

Someone the article quoted said that it takes just 33 bytes of publicly available information to identify you amongst all people there are.

It takes just a very small handful of tracking points from your smartphone to identify you amongst all people by your movement pattern. I think it were only 4 different position points from you smartphone that you happen to repeatedly meet - and you are known.

That is why anonymous consumer data collecting is a myth. The data more and more easily can be attributed to a living, real person. And judging it by the mounting heaps of personalised mail adverts friends of mine are getting who both are pretty careless about their data and privacy protection, data and identity do get connected by somebody indeed.

The Israelis claimed already years ago they had a software that allows them to predict terror strikes. What is more terrifying here: terror - or the the possibilities of abuse of this technology? and it will be abused, this much is certain for everybody not being hopelessly naive, I think. Everything man invents and every knowledge that he gains, so far also has been abused. I see no reason why this should be expected to change all of a sudden.

Remember this?

The potential for big data is infinite. The computing power that is available right now literally allows so much analysis, anything is possible.

I mean, think about all the data that is available to you, just the publicly available stuff. Combine every single piece (just the publicly available stuff you are sharing yourself), and you can see just how much power there is in it.

Target's big data analysis was even capable of figuring out that this girl is pregnant BEFORE her father did! Just from publicly available information that she shared her self.
