Why Privacy Policy is huge v.05

-

Big sites gather our data and they could use our information to influence behaviors of a demographic. For example making some information less available in search for people who are critical to the government in order to reduce their tendencies to be critical. 

I think people could ask for sites to provide reports of their data aggregations as corporate social responsibility or like financial statements, because that's our data too

To demonstrate my point, let us check out netflix' privacy policy... Check out the part "Matched Identifier Communications", in there we could see that not only companies gather visitors' information, they also made sense of them combined with our data from other sites. I mean there are some limitations to what extent they could do this, but still it means that if someone in the company intended to break the law, the consequences are potentially personally harmful for us. 

Check out Netflix' terms and conditions no.7

I quote partially: "Further, where permitted under the applicable law, unless both you and Netflix agree otherwise, the court may not consolidate..." 

I don't like the way they say the court may not consolidate... what if the court wanted to? They said where permitted under the applicable law, but "the court MAY NOT..." now this is an oxymoron for one, and next you and me don't get to say the court may or may not anything. This come across to me as arrogance. 

This kind of attitude I find to be concerning, as it could be a sign of people not taking the court at the utmost priority it demanded to be prioritized. That is my personal opinion. And, based on that subjective opinion I'm uneasy on their integrity, treating my data with respect, justice/fairness. 

But things like this are inevitable, because they could use the data at their own secrecy without our watching. And there's very little we could do about that. So I propose for the reveal of information. 

We ought to be able to ask for certain results of our data aggregation. I think it is fair. All of us as stakeholders are able to up the stakes and request for our data collectively and how they made sense of it. We should ask, whether or not they wanted to provide it to us (the results) is their right. But all of our data are ours too.

Imagine these scenarios:

Husband suddenly got offered private detectives and divorce lawyers advertisements in their social media. Apparently the A.I of the social media identified that the wife has had an affair. 

A group of privacy enthusiasts requested for their watching patterns from youtube. They figured out that within their demographic apparently kids channels are popular in the afternoon, and gaming channel is popular in the night. They found out that they prefer sports watches rather than james bond watches, and the most beautiful type of women for them is actually women with long necks. 

Wouldn't that be interesting outcomes to consider?

I'd like you guys to consider this video:

In this video, Mr. Leonard French a youtuber that makes law contents, talks about data leaks within Uber and how they deal with the situation.

Matthew 6:34, worries and the system of money

-
Jesus said "Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day [is] the evil thereof." ( http://www.blueletterbible.org/Bible.cfm?b=Mat&c=6 , 2013) Don't worry about tommorow At first I thought about this verse, I thought, should we throw all of our businesses away? If it were personal riches then it's debatable, but throwing away our businesses away? Wouldn't that be absurd, cause businesses are helping people. Well still figuring out that now, but I realize that Jesus wasn't only talking about personal wealth. But also about the wealth of the community, a country. Jesus was talking about how we about to do about our money. We have to admit, we are now liable to hyperinflation. Because we have the right to spend all of our money in the bank as well as other people. And if we were forced to do that all at the same time, then the economy would collapse. But we have the rig

Piracy and Expectation

-
If you use a lot of solutions without giving back to the source, You would be exposed to a system or to a world that's not supported by gratitude. The happiness that came from this world is unsustainable And if you hang on to it, the more you do the more your expectations would become unrealistic. So in order to truly become a blessing for your beloved people or person, Give thanks to your sources of solutions, Pay attention, and Create solutions to real problems that really exist in your reach. And if you keep doing it, the more your reach would extend. And with your sources of solutions together, you would have access to power that would allow itself to be focused by you.

The Golden Sticker v.07

-
So I have this idea to facilitate the culture of "giving back to the sources of solutions". The whole society should realize the importance of nurturing access to solutions. We've learned from global warming, that using solutions without giving back or nurturing the source of solutions would close or scarce the accesses of solutions for us in the future. Realizing this the society need to put on the spot, or question those who enjoy or use a lot of solutions, but doesn't have any receipts or any prove that he/she/it had performed some sort of maintenance or had paid back the source of solutions. When we buy something, we always could ask for a receipt. Now pirates don't get any receipts from software companies or from record companies. However people couldn't just come around and ask pirates to show them receipts... instead providers of solutions or conservation officials could issue stickers as prove of payments, or donations have been paid by receivers o
