If you want to become seriously pissed, find a re-run of last night’s Stossel show on High Tech. See what Cruz is doing.
“I’m okay with it as long as there is no real identifying personal data attached.”
But there is. Guaranteed.
Ever see the Tom Cruise movie, Minority Report? This a real world advertising technology that relies upon data mining the intel on your phone, not on biometrics as the movie imagines. See if this clip looks familiar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bXJ_obaiYQ
It is used in retail environments to tailor electronic messages (similar to google ads) when a mobile phone user gets within range of a transmitting device.
...not kidding
Thanks.
I should have waited for your excellent bird dogging of the reality.
I spent close to an hour goggleing and just scratched the surface of what you posted.
You/re very welcome. Glad to be of help.
It’s creepy. But more concerning is the scientific and surveillance state BS they love to use to channel people.
Would be nice if they ever used that t o see what we want and then to give it to us.
These Aholes only use the data to manipulate us.
You're on FR. You have no secrets.
Which was a choice...
More Trump butt hurting. Try some Preperation NH.
More Trump butt hurting. Try some Preparation NH.
“NASCAR fans, however, correlated with Trump and Clinton support.”
Their data indicates that NASCAR fans support Clinton?
I’m old, but wasn’t tapping phones illegal and requiring a court order or have I watched too many mafia movies?
Ah yes....I did quite a bit of research on Chad Sweet...none of it good
“Sweet co-founded the Chertoff Group with former Bush and Obama administration Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff.”
ANYONE mixed up with Chertoff is going to be open borders and bad trade like TPP.... Liz Cheney’s old man Phil Perry is also wound up with Chertoff. That’s how he got a job in the DOJ and mismanaged billions of $$$.
Where is the link to the Cruz campaign? Rubio and Trump are the ones who favor Bulk data collection “for your own security”.
they can access this information because these users installed apps on their cell phones that let them get that information, pure and simple.
I always wondered why Ted admitted this in 2013:
In an interview with TIME Magazine, Cruz said he “modeled” his successful 2012 Senate campaign on Obama’s 2008 run (along with Sen. Marco Rubio’s in 2010). Cruz said he believed so much in the Obama playbook that he gave some of his staffer’s David Plouffe’s book, The Audacity to Win for Christmas......”I think Barack Obama is an extraordinary politician. And I respect Barack Obama a great deal. I think he is committed to his principles, which is rare in politics.”
Cruz does go on to say he does not agree with Obama administration policy.
One can’t help but wonder just how much Cruz ‘models’ his campaign practices after Rubio and Barak Obama.
I had such high hopes for Chertoff during the Whitewater hearings.
It was like a light switch was tripped, and he went to the dark side.
Sad.
