Gone are the days when you thought it is my computer and what I do is my business. These days everything that you do on your computer is being watched and recorded by someone whom you don’t even have the faintest idea. Is this the freedom that you enjoy in an independent democratic country?
This was the thought that prevailed in USA after the Snowden episode in 2015-16 expressing serious concerns over the monitoring operations carried out by CIA and its agents on millions and billions of people all over the world clandestinely. We in Inia, sympathised with our fellow human beings in the USA calling themselves as belonging to a free and powerful nation. Powerful, no doubt, but are they free, when every move of theirs is being watched by someone without his knowledge.
When Truman Story was released in 1998, the average American pitied him for being an object of research and entertainment without his knowledge. Little did they realize that they would all be Truman’s replica in a matter of few years, the offender being the State of USA.
Even after Snowden incidence the Americans believed that the State is doing something for their own good which is SECURITY. They were prepared to forego freedom for security.
What happened during the next five years is gross violation of human privacy not just in USA but all over the world. The development of internet in terms of connectivity, speed and coverage made humans as pawns in the hands of companies who steal their information clandestinely based on every action of theirs on the internet. Today, every moment that you spend on your computer or on phone using social media is all recorded and used by agencies that are exploiting you. Some people argue that it is for your own good that you are presented with information that you were seeking though you are busy with some other activities. This argument holds no waters when you find that intrudes in your privacy and occupies the space that you are watching and keeps irritating you on messages that you don’t want. The bombardment of messages is so aggressive that pushes you into consider purchasing things that you don’t need.
This is just the lighter side of the problem. The worst part is that you are presented with a pop-up cookie which allows you to proceed only after you click ‘I AGREE’ without your being able to understand what you are agreeing for. The agencies that pick up your data have enough proof that you were willing to be exploited willingly.
I now hear of 5G and 6G with some very huge internet capabilities which the human mind can not even gauge. My close friends and I are at the twilight stage of our life and probably would not live long enough to see that the human race is totally submissive to unchained internet giants that would suck every drop of your blood.
Time to act, my fellow human beings, to revolt against the exploitation of the agencies that steal every bit of you, your conversation, your correspondence, your searches, what you view on your TV, computer, phone etc., If we don’t act now, we would be part of the guilty as in Nurenberg Trials.
Hello! I simply would like to offer you a huge thumbs up for the great information you have right here on this post. I will be coming back to your blog for more soon.
