I think I'm free with my information even though i probably should guard it but i think someway they will manage to get our information in the end.
Only way to keep ourselves truly protected is to cut ourselves off from the internet that would be the best way to truly lock ourselves up but in this day and age can people really stay off the internet stay off Wi-Fi and be disconnected with the world.
Indeed, although I hardly feel putting it out there ourselves is warranted just because the wrong people might get it anyway. I err on the side of caution.
I don't think cutting ourselves off from the internet is even the answer to be honest. Everything about us is recorded anyway, Birth, school enrolments, hospital and doctor visits, employment history, banking and finance, marriage, traffic infringements, airline travel and that's not to mention public CCTV systems and facial recognition. Whether you're on the internet personally or not, your life is recorded digitally and available to be hacked.
Ya exactly. We need to be cautious what we do or put out there.
You brought good points here but some of this stuff is unavoidable. I guess that means the only way is away from internet and living alone on an island with nobody nearby? That would cut out most of the stuff you put out there except the birth unless someone gave live birth with no hospital. I guess it would have to be the next generation if some family decided to go to some random island with nothing . Then their kid could live a life fully protected from their information protected since nobody outside of that island would know the kid existed? Then I guess you could say maybe a satellite from online can see them lol but then this just never ends.
I agree, totally unavoidable which is why in the post I said that people have a very thin veil of security. I actually don't think it's possible to live these days without being on the grid, at least in most countries. Sure, maybe you get born under a tree in the Amazon, get raised by wild animals and swing through the trees, but generally people are not. So, being on file is something everyone has to deal with.
I guess this post was more about the unnecessary sharing of information people do on social media. You know, I did a weekend-engagement topic once and someone responded with a full picture of her credit card, name, number expiry date and all.
I followed a link on someone's Hive profile today...the information I found would permit that person to be located inside of an hour quite easily, and in only minutes if a professional agency was involved. And for what? What does that person gain by putting it all there? An ego boost if it gains a follower or upvote, and maybe not even that. You know what I'm saying?
People are enamoured by their own legend and think people give a fuck...but people don't...well, the people seeking to track and collate information are...and that happens every second of the day.
I don't think I saw this post but this case does make it worrisome if there are a group of people that didn't think of the possible consequences of sharing something dangerous to expose like the credit card. I think there was a case where someone was streaming and they got they accidently showed their keys for a second and he got all his funds lost. I think I've only shared stuff in my posts that I felt comfortable sharing which I think is photos of myself and even my location.
For this, I have no idea. we would have to ask that person? Nowdays though there is this mindset of trying to be popular or what we call "influencer" and they really put themselves out there and doing this does help attract a following I think.
I think this has always been the case throughout the history of humans. It's just technology has enabled all this information to be collected and tracked easier. And also to make it easier to tell the world how "great they are"
The more I know what humans are capable of (and I have seen the absolute worst in them) the more I don't like people. However, there's some good ones too and it's those I focus on. You're in the latter category.
Oh you want to go into conspiracy theories. Ya it's crazy where greed and power gets to "people". We are being fed a lot of garbage thru the media but I think people are starting to wake up.
There's a lot of work being done by the good people behind the scenes to have the world the way we have now. I think nobody knows but there's people sacrificing their life (secret agents, top tier assassinate and extract people) to keep the world at peace where people like me and others can live an almost carefree life. I'm not saying everybody but more or less it's like this. Sometimes our biggest problem is figuring out what to eat honestly right.
I do believe in karma though so if there are those humans that choose to do the worst stuff, they will eventually have to pay for what they did whether that be time in jail or other ways.
And thank you for saying I'm one of the good ones. It's very kind of you but I think this should be natural. If we are kind to people most people would reciprocate. I don't see many cases where someone does something bad to a person and the person will return with kindness
Most people will never know the sacrifices others make on their behalf to maintain safety and freedom; freedom doesn't come for free - lives pay for it. Some of these operations are overt and some covert as you say. The problem is that some of those operations and situations are done for the wrong reasons, criminal reasons or just out of human greed and that's often why people reject them on a wholesale basis. That is their prerogative of course, but millions of people sleep soundly at night (and enjoy freedom) because others put their lives on the line.
Kindness is indeed a good policy...but people doing bad things to people like me don't get kindness back. I know there's some who will judge me for saying this but it is my way. I'm not talking about nonsensical things like Hive downvotes or name calling, I mean bad things. Again, sometimes it takes someone to make a stand, to stand up and say, that's wrong and I will make it right. Fortunately for the Jews and others people did that in World War Two, just to give one example.
Anyway, thanks for commenting. This is a little off topic for this post but in truth I think it's all sort of interconnected right? Thanks for bringing these things up.
