Tough cookie to eat and due to the lack of knowledge on today's technology by many who would help, many are agents in the process of collecting data on many individuals without realizing. As there are good and bad people, there are good and bad bots(algorithms).
This "Technological World" is so data hungry, no matter what you blurb online it is quickly picked up by search bots. Now what is their task is up to the one who programmed it to seek information for input. That data collected, Big Data, depending on what a programmer developed software for is up to those seeking the information. Example, you publicly share content on your social media, photos, status updates and much of all your business right? Well, if your privacy is not set to private or just friends/followers then in most cases it is a "Free for All" for bots(spiders) crawling the web tasked to find information about you to collect.
So many businesses use AI solutions like apartment complexes who use software to check criminal background, credit history, residence history, job history and much more the software is tasked to do so a determination can be made. A comprehensive analysis on you wanting to rent is compiled, a profile. Depending on set indicators, you either will come up as okay to rent to or not. Same goes for credit and borrowing, your demographic information that is public correct or not us used against you or for you.
Solicitations of all kinds are done based on data you freely give or that which is sold. Then the issue of smart bots getting information via methods considered hacking that use vulnerable spots in coding that allows more in-depth information gathering. This is why I say many apps you allow on your devices are "Inherent Hackers". So much to it and boggles me how many with degrees in tech do not care or realize what we are dealing with as a society literally run by bots.
We are using platforms for free to share our world online, whether it is played up or just sharing truths about ourselves. Well, companies are tracking your world at times based on what information is needed. Take for instance, an employer does a background check on you for a job. All your public information is crawled linked to you. Now that refined searches are becoming more accurate, your data is then sorted through to make an analysis about you(your profile). If tasked to pre-determine character, kind of employee you may be and look into public record about you it may show to the employer favorable or unfavorable results they now make a call on to even proceed with hiring process. This is one reason many for years have told people to be careful what you post about yourself online and Google search your name to see what else is coming up linked to you. Some who took heed of these warnings just mentioned learn good or bad things about their own online presence.
Now, why would I make up a statement in this blog posts title? It is just that, many who are like I whom use the web more than the average person have already been locked onto. Til a few years ago when Facebook bots, Google patched that were weak and many people with bad ethics went through data pertaining to me and all went South fast. Before, I always enjoyed being a Beta tester and opting to use things being tested out among select user but now it is like some just want you to go through it to see if public assistance works, services you are subject to work and the list is getting longer. Having scrutiny more aware of brings a sense of nowhere to run. It had one like I bow out of using the web much for up to two years with now slowly getting back in to do my passion. Just to know those of your descent are tapping in to get ideas as to what you do, Judicial system tap in using software to help speed up tasks using data on you, and so many who do not get how this AI technology works using it half-ass ruining lives. Algorithms that are using neural networks integrated into them are smarter than some of these videos online say. I love bots and the good ones really helping mankind. Yet, there are those with bias that hurt one like I. Without going into detail since many I try to explain this aspect of intrusion never fully get it, I will just say that some are fully aware of what "Beast of a System" they are up against. Sad thing is you find many associated with you only do so trying to understand what benefit being locked into brings, how they too can gain from it and just are not genuinely there for you. Very hard to have senses many do not that help sort what is going on but the bad side of the "Guinea Pig" aspect is some will keep you in a spot to take from you as a way of learning and that is wrong. These experiences show me what many Messengers go through and sadly always the same packaging. Those who get it will all else will assume gibberish. Just grateful to many who help and for those setting up safeguards on the technology already among us they really are misleading all on. AI, Deep Learning, Machine Learning is more advanced than they publicly lead on to be.
Just be aware and do not let tech gurus fool you. Many false prophets in many sectors making names for themselves.
Just had to share for those aware. You are not alone.
