surveillancecapitalism

🚨 BREAKING 🚨

ORG has submitted complaints in the UK and France about LiveRamp, an online advertising and data broking company.

An investigation commissioned by ORG shows the new #adtech system undermines #privacy through invasive profiling.

Thousands of #advertising companies draw detailed profiles of Internet users’ online activities to target them with ads. It's the backbone of #surveillancecapitalism and it's proven to be harmful.

So we're taking action ⬇️

Yes, you can still buy 4K TV's that are not "Smart" (surveillance). They're called "commercial displays" and as a bonus, they're more durable, too.

Prices start at $550 US for a 55-inch Samsung model.

I can confidently diagnose #betterhelp as sociopaths.

Promised therapy customers privacy...then gave their mental health info to advertisers.

Victims get less than ten bucks each.

Company made billion+ in revenue last year alone.

In a just society with good privacy laws, they'd face existential civil & criminal consequences.

"'I was misidentified as shoplifter by #FacialRecognition tech...'

"...[Sara] says after her bag was searched she was... banned from all stores using the #Technology.

"I was just crying and crying the entire journey home… 'Oh, will my life be the same? I'm going to be looked at as a shoplifter when I've never stolen'.

"#Facewatch later wrote to Sara and acknowledged it had made an error..."
