No Privacy for Android and Gmail Users. Control and marketing . • In a brief filed this summer in federal court, lawyers for Google said Android and Gmail users should not expect privacy: • Just as a sender of a letter to a business colleague cannot be surprised that the recipient's assistant opens the letter, people who use web-based email today cannot be surprised if their emails are processed by the recipient's email provider in the course of delivery. Indeed, a person has no legitimate expectation of privacy in information he voluntarily turns over to third parties. • Your cellphone is always communicating with the towers. • It has to ping back and forth between the towers and device, in order for a call to route to you, a text message to be delivered. • It would be impossible for you to have a cellphone and have it work -- without continuously giving your location to the cellphone company. • That is part of what the National Security Agency is grabbing from all cell carriers, in bulk, without a warrant. • The root of the problem here is that the data, once acquired, is never erased, and thus becomes a record that can be used at any time in the future, if it becomes expedient to use in order to implicate you in something. • This problem does not exist only among government spooks. If anything, it is far worse in the private industry segment, and the use of this data, for illegitimate purposes, happens every single day. • You have no expectation of privacy , Google is arguing, since you gave Google the mail to route it to its destination. It's the same thing for your documents that you gave to them to store on Google Drive, your calendar and contacts data, and the voice calls you make using Google Voice. • You gave all those to Google too. You also gave Google your location when you turned on your Android phone, and you may have given Google your EXACT location if you used Google Maps. • If you think that any email or other communication, you have generated and allowed someone else to have, has been deleted due to either time or you pressing the delete button, is actually gone, you're nuts. It's not. • The problem is that this data about your location or your emails, is owned by the companies, not you, and once they have it, they can do with it whatever they want. The more of that data you give them, the more accurate their profile of you becomes, and the more inputs that can be aggregated together by someone , the more accurate the profile is as well. • If I can aggregate where you go with your emails, then I can construct an extremely accurate profile of how you live, of who you are. And that is what Foucault called BIOPOLITICS. Biomarketing. • References: • Google Doc, NatGeo • Video • Gmail: 13:00 -- 15:00 • Nova on Boston Bomber hunting: • Video • Google's motion to dismiss here: http://www.consumerwatchdog.org/resou... • Consumer Watchdog: http://www.consumerwatchdog.org/newsr...
