Last night, my son Dalton was tasked with writing a speech on
mass surveillance. He asked me to look
it over and give some pointers. I think he wrote a pretty good speech, but it
got me thinking about what is going on in the way of mass surveillance and
things that are happening in the social media platforms.
Companies like Facebook have been taken to task about
selling data and information that the public has been okay sharing with the
masses. I mean, think about it, I post
something on Facebook for people to see then I am supposed to be mad when
people get that information? Who is to
blame? The entity where I shared the
information. Let me repeat, where I
shared the information. I am not the
smartest kid in the class, but I know that if I wanted to keep anything from
people, I would certainly NOT take to Facebook to “keep it from them!”
Edward Snowden is still in Russia trying to get a fair trial
for exposing the NSA and their monitoring tactics, yet the government doesn’t need
to answer to any of the questions around that topic? They were monitoring cell records, emails and
texts that people thought were private exchanges?
Sometime I wonder if I am only one who sees the irony in
these things. Okay, moving on….
