What’s tracking and keeping tabs on us?
Wherein she presents a nice list of devices, companies and more than exist to accumulate data on a person, his whereabouts and more. Here are some to add:
- Company proxies and filters
- Biometric scanners
- Credit reports
- Demographic data wholesalers
- Any subscription service (e.g. XBox Live, Family Circle) The scary part, as noted by Paul, is not the aggregation of this data, it is how it is used.
