RE: Ancestry DNA & Facebook: Selling (Or Owning) Your Privacy - We ARE Being Tracked & Hunted- Plus Cloning The Homeless?
That might be the most important post I ever read on steemit.
YES, homeless people get rounded up and become organ donors. In the USA? Probably, but in Shanghai there is little doubt. I have a tech-industry rich friend, their eldest son moved to Shanghai a few years ago. Remember when all the financial gurus were saying China was the next America? He was rich and savvy enough, he went. He BAILED recently, said most Americans are desperate to GTFO now. Among the horrifying stories he had to tell... There are no homeless people in Shanghai. None. He said Americans cannot begin to imagine the size of this city. Take the population of NYC, LA and Chicago, ADD THEM together. Then DOUBLE THAT. Shanghai is almost that big, not quite fully double. And not one homeless person. People have been trying to expose the human organ trafficking going on for a long time, but they just kill them and... yeah... It SUCKS what humans do to each other, but pretending it is not happening means you are willing to die and let your children and grandchildren deal with the mess without even putting up a fight. That is messed up.
THANK YOU for bringing some light to one of the darkest corners of our high tech world.
Edit:
Oops! Forgot to get to my point lol! (This is the broad "you" I am about to address, no personal aim at all.
There was a time when everyone feared being hunted down and forcibly implanted. I have said for a long, long time - no one is going to risk so much as a fingernail scratch to track you, you will pay for the privilege. You will upgrade your device constantly, pouring money into the wallets of those who track you. You call it your "personal device" without blinking an eye and you REFUSE to leave home without it, and you get angry when you want to use it and you can't connect to the tracking system. And when their liver gives out and their database says YOU are the perfect match, you are going to have a tragic accident. Nothing that will hurt the desired organs, mind you... THAT is the dystopian medical future that is already possible...
You have made SUCH valid, informational/educational and scary statements... but in reality ALL so VERY TRUE.
I remember hearing a few months back, maybe even late in 2017, that there was a company that was taking voluntary employees to be implanted with devices. I can't recall the company's exact reasoning behind these implants but I can recall Mr Golden D saying many expletives about his feelings.
He has never been a conspiracy theorist or wanna-be move into the mountains behind a wall of safety homesteader... but lately he's been taking more thought about it.
And your broad statement is RIGHT ON!
We want the luxury or safety a cell phone brings us but we get upset knowing what is happening. I mean... think about it... why do ANY of the apps need to know that much about us.
Yep, tech should work just as well with user anonymity in MOST applications. But for the sake of convenience... dear God help us all, people will sell their souls without even dickering over the price.
That is why Steemit is nice as a browser based platform. Apps you download suck, a good browser makes a nice security sandbox. I have been about this since the dawn of the mobile, had mobile browsers since 2003. I laugh everytime a company says "download our app, get a free bag of chips, or purchase discounts!" App permissions people, app permissions - free to sift through your entire device.
I completely agree with you and the tracking device. People EVERYwhere are on their phones and take them wherever they go too.
