Nice idea but you won’t have heard of any of these data brokers anyways – same as the parent companies that own “bad karma” brands. Its a buffer zone thing, corporations learned to do long ago to protect the public facing brand that represents the real players beneath. So yeah have a list, and you will be none the wiser on which shareholders and individuals are spying on you.
Here are the data brokers quietly buying and selling your personal information
Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Netflix, Spotify and Yandex. So don’t expect it just to be political manipulators to be profiting from your data or manipulating your world view…
“In 2018, Facebook earned an average of roughly $110 in ad revenue per American user.” So the list of “supporters” is likely quite high – whoever it is. FBI? CIA? Thats why Zuck doesn’t have to tell you.

Welcome to TNW Basics, a collection of tips, guides, and advice on how to easily get the most out of your gadgets, apps, and other stuff.
Last week we showed you how to see what kinds of ads Instagram was likely to serve you, based on data

How To Change Your Ads On Instagram & Access The “Interests” Section

You can do it in Google accounts but its such a faff. Agreed, a simple popup where you list your interests or tick those it guesses would make ads a joy rather than a hinderance. Surprised their super clever and now very RICH ai doesn’t realise this. Come on Sergey, its been 20 years now….
You can make the ads you see more useful or get ads that are specific to you. You’ll see Google ads on: Google services, like Search or YouTube. Websites and apps that partner with Google to sho
“Facebook released a tool that lets people see how it tracks their “off-Facebook activity.” AHH SO YOU JUST TOLD FACEBOOK YOU ARE TRYING TO SPY BACK – GREAT. GOOD LUCK WITH THAT.
Facebook knows what you’re doing on other sites and in real life. This tool lets you see what it knows about you.
There are some apps, but they are very limited – fact is, Facebook doesn’t let them know ALL the stuff it gathers about your browsing habits, so no app or plugin could really do it.
6 Apps to Find What Facebook Knows About You (And How to Block It)
To say Facebook is a popular social media service is certainly downplaying all that it truly is. Facebook is a global corporation, offering advertising and business products. The everyday user logs in to see their friends, family, and possibly funny

Facial recognition isn’t quite there yet. I really hope no crime evidence is based on it. And it could be a real problem when rouge states, or even hacky AI bots grab information from security cameras to facial fingerprint every one of the world’s citizens. Hmm, 1984 would be easy then.
Apple's iPhone FaceID Hacked In Less Than 120 Seconds
Security researchers attending the annual Black Hat hacker convention in Las Vegas have managed to bypass the iPhone FaceID user authentication in under two minutes.
Use of facial recognition tech is on the rise, but how do you get away from it? 3D-printed face masks, makeup, infrared lights, and complex patterns are being used to dodge its all-seeing eye
Researchers have demonstrated that they can fool a modern face recognition system into seeing someone who isn’t there. A team from the cybersecurity firm McAfee set up the attack against a facial recognition system similar to those currently used at airports for passport verification. By using mac... Read more

There are multiple communication options used by people who are deaf or who have hearing loss. And, in the last five years, advances in automatic speech recognition (ASR) have opened up further options.

Data (the source of information) replaced land, not oil as the top commodity, here’s why – “Data are an asset, but merely having them does not reveal their value; it must be developed to maximize its value. The value of data is not what someone else will pay for it, it is in how you can use it.”
Google’s DeepMind is better than humans at lip reading, this is amazing, soon any video could be transcribed in any language on youtube – better, using an app personally whilst on holdiay would make life so much easier.

Heh, someone should sell Zuckerberg masks and have folk raid the Facebook offices for private information on the man himself.
