Minority Report comes to mind. Spooky stuff.

Europe is far ahead of of the U.S. when it comes to regulating data bases and personal privacy rights. In the U.S., people have no privacy. Big Tech is the government’s spy, and combined they are Big Brother.

[DPMD]

“The Associated Press found that nearly two dozen government agencies across the country have contracted with Fog Data Science to use the tool.”

Names please. (Not you; addressing the AP).

Start with surveillance.

Then move on to “disappearing” people.

The Nazi program was Nacht und Nebel — “Night and Fog”.

The price of owning a cel phone

[Roadrunner383]

Just to repeat, your cell phone will ping nearby towers even when turned off (it’s never totally ‘off’). The only way to shut down your cell phone is to remove the battery. You can also put it in a special metal foil lined pouch (Faraday cage) that will prevent it from sending and receiving.

The cell phone is a classic example of a potentially wonderful technology that has turned into a nightmare.

[catbertz]

Dystopian nightmare toolset now complete. They don’t need no stinking constitutional restrictions anymore. If you don’t agree with their agenda, do the “wrong thing” or fail to comply with “administrative orders”, then they’ll take you, and do what they want to you.

Sounds like a giant class action lawsuit on the horizon

F these bastards

I’ve donated to them many years back, in the early 2000s. They appeared to be doing good work for little people when attacked by large corps or government. Good to see they may not yet have gone the way of the ACLU and been infiltrated by leftists and wokesters.

My mother told me about two, old, Christian widows that refused to have a TV or watch one when they came out because they thought the TV’s were watching THEM. My mom thought they were paranoid. As a kid, I knew they’d nailed it, and that was before Star Trek was released. Both my mother and father were HAMs so it was surprising. I imagine she updated her perspective eventually. Maybe by the time she got her extra class or got her captain’s license from the Merchant Marines. LOL.

A Faraday pouch will keep you from being tracked, but don’t buy one online, or you’ll have a target on your back. Make your own - or use a metal box.

Warning!!!

If you read the post you would see that it, Fog Reveal, is being used to monitor pro life people.

The terms, “constitutional right to abortion,” and “privacy of reproduction health information,” are telling.

The fight is on to keep murdering babies is on and must be stopped.

[BatGuano]

Gun shows and going to a firing range are being tracked illegally.

The real attack is on our Constitution.

Ignore it at your own risk.

I knew people who thought cable TV boxes did that. Seemed fringy to me, but at least the tech made sense. Before cable, you'd have needed a transmitter in televisions, because without them, they were just passive radio receivers. I'm really not sure how big-brother would have been able to spy on millions of TV transmitters if that were the case, but then again, maybe it's just something they'd have wanted to do only if they needed to by getting within range. Still, it seems unfathomable that such technology could have existed in so many appliances without being exposed by ordinary TV repairmen.

But it was cool when batman did it to find the joker! 🤡

Memo: don’t bring your cell phone to political events.

I think we need to reenact the end of the movie ‘Fight Club.’
