| Title | GOOGLE TRACKING: NOT AS INCOGNITO AS YOU THINK | ||||
| Description | GOOGLE TRACKING: NOT AS INCOGNITO AS YOU THINK While it may sound like something from a tinfoil hat conspiracy theory website, the big corporations are, in fact, watching you. Google tracking doesn’t work like the popular meme, with everyone having their own FBI agent supervisor, but there is the AI. Google’s artificial intelligence collects your name, pseudonyms, IP address, personal information, and much more. For most people using services like Gmail or Google Chrome, the Alphabet Corporation already has enough data to steal their identity in an instant. But, unlike other companies, the chance that some third party will hack into Google is slim. People who can do that already work for the company. The biggest scare here is the corporation itself. What happens when you do something that is harming the corporation, or their shareholders? Thankfully, there are ways to protect yourself. Using this ‘’Cyber October”, the month of cybersecurity in both the EU and the US, you should learn more about cyber hygiene, VPN options, and data security.VPN providers. Why Google Tracks You? Short answer? Money. But, Google is not like most services and some very popular social media giants. It doesn’t sell your data directly to marketing companies. Google uses that data internally. Alphabet Inc, the parent company of Google, makes the most money from its program called ‘’Google Ads”. This is the current name of AdWords, and it publishes ads for those affiliated with the service on other websites. Roughly 85% of Google’s revenue comes from ads, and the more ads are used and clicked on the more the company makes. This is why the company is very interested in what you are looking for any why. While they will never sell the information they have on you, the amount alone is staggering. For those who don’t use a VPN service or have other forms of protection, Google probably knows more about them than they know about themselves. It goes far beyond any IP address tracker that can be on a regular website. Incogni-don’t The incognito mode in Chrome will not, by any means, prevent the company from collecting and processing your data. This feature is used to prevent other users from seeing your browsing history and making fun of your anime loli waifu and/or husbando. From the program’s perspective, you have done nothing. All of the data previously sent will still be included, and connected to your IP address, real name, and email address. The only thing the Incognito Mode will do is to create a separate channel and determine if the person browsing is someone else, a guest or a friend, or if it is you but after midnight. By using this mode, you will be sending even more data to Google. This way they might find out your romantic or sexual inclinations. Google also follows you on adult websites such as PornHub for even more data. Researchers from The New York Times have found out that Google tracking software can be found in 74% of all websites tested. Other leading tech giants in this field are also Facebook and Oracle. How Does Google Tracking Works? For most information, you have filled out the fields yourself and gave them express permission to use them. Even the scary things like the actual Google Map Timeline have been allowed by not reading the terms of service (ToS). Even if you don’t have your location services enabled, but use your mobile data, Google will still track the locations you have traveled to. If you are using an iPhone this will not be the case. With this brand of smartphone, it will be Apple tracking your movement in the same way. For all other data, Google collects it from the website you are accessing either via tracking cookies or software pushed on the website itself. This way they can know where you clicked, how long have you watched something, and how that falls into your life. Everything will be done to sell you more of the products and services you need, and faster. Types of Information Gathered Most security experts would be unable to explain the amount and type of data accessed. It ranges from the basic to the intimate, to the downright frightening. Additionally, the algorithm will fill out the data it needs, based on patterns and know even the things you haven’t told it. This is why you sometimes see ads about things mentioned only in conversation. Google is spying on you, but not via the microphone but with the cutting edge technology that predicts what you want and need. Google will collect both your location data and location history, as well as the information which people were close to you most often. By using their data the AI will know if they are working with you, or if they are your friend or partner. Google is tracking activity even when you use a VPN. The only difference is that in those cases the browsing is mashed with hundreds of others using the same server, as well as masked by the IP tunnel. Risks of Seeding Your Info The founding father of the USA, globally known for his face being on the $100 bill, Benjamin Franklin once said: ‘’Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.’’ Well, by seeding your personal information you get just that, neither liberty or safety! Primarily, your private data is at risk, as well as all of the banking, communication, and travel information you might have on your devices. By slowly compiling the information you provide on websites and matching those with your IP address both companies and hackers can get your entire profile. From identity theft to credit card misuse, all sorts of unwanted events may follow this trail of private information. Next, there is your physical security, as well as the security of your home. If a hacker can follow and track you everywhere you go, they can sell that information to burglars and mark your home. Even worse, someone can be kidnapped this way relatively easily. Finally, there is a risk to our civil liberty. It is not a question of ‘’if” but ‘’when” the corporations and the governments that serve them will misuse the power they have to silence, harass, or completely unperson, someone. Tracking Google tracking is not the only type of privacy invasion out there. All kinds of companies, institutions, and even private groups try to track people’s movement. Google is just the best at doing that. These trackers can follow your location, marking every place you go to, and how much you stay. Making a full timeline of where you’ve been and how you move, the AI will try (and succeed) in knowing where you will go next. If you don’t know what is a proxy, this ‘’Cyber’’ October would be a good time to find out. Using both a proxy server and a proxy persona online is becoming a better idea by the day. Watching If you are living in a country that doesn’t really place civil liberty in high regard such as the People’s Republic of China, you will find yourself literally being watched wherever you go. But, even if you are living in ‘’free countries’’, you will not be able to hide from the all-seeing corporate eye. Companies will try to catch your face and match it with your credit card, your email, and finally your IP address. Some companies and most governments are also not above actually hacking your phone camera and using that to spy on both you and your friends. Financial Information Even though stealing your financial information is not the worst thing that can happen to you, you will feel it the most. Google and other tech giants will never take money from your account, but they will follow what you buy. Using online wallets and similar apps, or simply purchasing Google products will put you on the map and add your financial information to your profile. But, if you leave your financial information with a shady retailer or some other service, there is a chance that it will fall into even worse hands. Data thieves and other criminals will have nothing against using your info to clone your card and pull out as much money from it as possible. Censorship Not that many people are directly politically or socially active online. But, that doesn’t mean that you are not being censored. If you were ever to find a cause or a grievance, there is a chance that you will be caught on early by Google tracking and ‘’blacklisted’’. In the US media, it seems like those placed on these lists usually lean to the right, but that is not at all the case. Most of the content dealing with minority issues as well as labor rights have been excluded from search lists and filters. The worst thing is that this type of corporate censorship is not done for strictly political reasons. Most of the content is removed, demonetized, or censored simply for not being good enough for advertisement. Deletion What would happen if a corporation claimed all of the data they have on you? What if they deny you from using your real name, credit card, or phone? While ‘’unpersoning’’ never officially happened in the West, it is not like we would know if it did. With the increasing number of our connections and communication done online, simply cutting someone off the grid would be equal to removing them from existence. http://www.fastritavpn.com/ http://www.fastvpnproxy.com/ http://www.vpnsnetflix.com/ | ||||
