What does your meta-data say about you and how is it used? Why do you need to be worried about digital surveillance if you have nothing to hide? How does this surveillance subtly change your online activities? How does data amplify bias?

This book has some really interesting answers to these questions. It made me think about the choices I‘m making (and the ones being made for me by public and private entities) about my digital footprint.

marleed There things in life I haven‘t googled because I wonder what pop ups and will result on my phone! 3y
Megabooks @Cinfhen 🥰🥰🥰 3y
Megabooks @marleed exactly! Or things I don‘t feel free to say on social media because I‘m afraid of it being misinterpreted. This book said social media tracking or phone metadata has not cracked a single case for the fbi, yet it regularly makes non-criminals, especially black and brown ones, targets of extra surveillance. 3y
Hestapleton Ooo definitely interested in this. How was the audio narration? 3y
Megabooks @Hestapleton excellent!! Professional VO artist, so it was really consistent and easy to listen to. 3y
Hestapleton @Megabooks Awesome! Just put it on hold! 3y

Megabooks @Cinfhen I‘m still reading, and it is terrifying how insecure our digital lives are. 3y
Megabooks @Cinfhen I‘ve also got Jesus Camp on and shit is crazy! I really don‘t get evangelicals/Pentecostals. The camp is Pentecostal. 3y

Cinfhen I watched Athlete A with E the other night. I wanted to watch JesusCamp but he wasn‘t feeling it. I owe you a BIG email / it‘s coming soon!! I‘m having stomach issues for several days and it‘s leaving me lethargic and weak. Also my iron is super low. I couldn‘t get an appointment for my infusion until Aug 26 3y
Megabooks @Cinfhen I haven‘t seen that since right after it came out. Netflix doesn‘t work on my TV anymore and HBO was acting up so I dropped it. I really need a new TV, but it‘s just not a priority right now. So much to decide with TVs these days! I‘m glad you got to watch something good with E though! I am so sorry about your stomach issues/health friend!! I figured something was up since you aren‘t finishing up books. 💜💜 I read about something in ⬇️ 3y
Megabooks @Cinfhen Ladyparts that may apply to what you‘ve told me about your issues. I‘ll email you about it. I look forward to your email!! And that is a ridiculously long time to wait for an infusion. I hope that you aren‘t too weak to travel. Be careful. 💜💜 3y
Megabooks @Cinfhen just popped over that email. 😘 3y
Cinfhen I‘m about to go to work … still hating it 😬I‘ll check later xx thanks so much for thinking of me 3y
