Going on the internet means being the mouse-guinea pig in the labyrinth of the laboratory where ALL the behaviors and actions performed are recorded and studied? ….apparently, and : Oracle has been sued to collect and SELL data on an ongoing and unlimited basis without users' consent.
All this is happening in California with this action complaint collective ( https://docs.reclaimthenet.org/2022-08-19-Oracle-Complaint.pdf )
Grazie a BlueKai Data Management Platform ( https://www.oracle.com/cx/marketing/data-management-platform/ ) , che include “ Oracle Data Marketplace and Oracle Graph ID”, the amount of data collected and the subsequent cross profiling offered on the market place, in the opinion of the plaintiffs in court Michael Katz-Lacabe (privacy rights activist), Dr. Jennifer Golbeck (associate professor at University of Maryland in College Park), and Dr. Johnny Ryan (senior fellow at the Irish Council for Civil Liberties ), it is illicit and illegal.
If all of this were true (…) the UNACCEPTABLE thing, is that the ‘user CANNOT do anything to avoid being the "guinea pig"!!!
How many and which sites integrate Oracle's technology?!?!
It would be interesting to know why in this article : https://www.classaction.org/news/oracle-hit-with-class-action-over-alleged-worldwide-surveillance-illegal-sale-of-consumer-information it is written verbatim : “…When an internet user visits a website on which Oracle’s technologies are employed, the defendant can track and store myriad behavioral activity and personal information, including, but not limited to, their home location, age, income, education, family status, hobbies, interests, weight, political affiliations, medical data, recent purchases and more, the lawsuit says. Oracle can also see and track where they shop and how they pay for purchases, the case shares…”
Self all this was confirmed, what would happen in Europe with the GDPR?
Would be interesting to ask the Privacy Guarantors not only Italian, but European, what they think by reading the characteristics of certain services such as the suspect in California!
In a technological scenario that is developing intelligence artificial, notoriously data-hungry, how can it be reconciled that is, with the sacrosanct right to privacy ?
Simply making it TRANSPARENT the data collection process e INVOLVING users in the’ ENTIRE supply chain : from data collection to aggregation , from proposing data on the market to buying and selling, alias SHARING to added value ( = real money for everyone !) .
To continue to enable ALL engineered technology to harvest data continuously and unlimitedly for the purpose of RESELLING information, WITHOUT INVOLVING whoever produces the data, is unacceptable and unsustainable….there are those who would say that it is not possible continue to assist helpless in the THEFT of our data .... that they are a value , ascertained the functioning of the "data market places".
Therefore It is NOT just a PRIVACY issue, but an economic problem e financial where someone illegally appropriates and YOU WILL UNLAWFUL of the data of others, for the purpose of reselling them.
To who?…in the best and most "harmless" of the hypotheses, to those who produce and / or deliver what we are hypothetically looking for .... but from the scandals now also dust yourself as Cambridge Analytica, we know that whoever buys our digital tracks wants and CAN’ guide our choices and discriminate against us in various ways.
The problem is dual and interdependent; let me explain…
A medal, two faces : on one there is the PRIVACY, on the other, the MONETIZATION OF DATA.
To attempt to split the two faces is a clever way to blur the problem..and hiding HOW you are "making money" with the data of the others.
And users are cited in the dynamics focused on the complaint private…
Yup it would be a shame to think that the same dynamic occurs on companies in the form of industrial espionage and / or on institutions of sovereign states by configuring political espionage?
... that we had truly reached the irreversible crack in Pandora's box ?
Before that it is too late it is necessary to rethink and build one FAIR technology.
FOR ALL…anche per I topolini 🙂
