It is still a meaningful distinction, but it's certainly not an airtight way to protect ourselves.
And I guess one other thing that I'd say about that is even when you're sharing information over social media privately with folks that you know and are connected to, it's
There's always a possibility that the network itself, that the social media provider, is also gaining insight into your activity through that service.
And there's no perfect guarantee that that information can't be mined to gain insights about you, either by the social media company or maybe eventually by the administration.
Yeah, it's so confusing because that data can go so many different places.
When a person is using their cell phone, something that they may not realize is that they are sharing information with their cell phone provider, their cell service provider, also with the maker of the cell phone, also with every social media service or app that they use online.
also with advertisers through websites and through email and other communications that they have.
They're just kind of constantly sharing information with many, many different parties through that device.
So you kind of asked what happens to that information.
A lot of that information then gets kind of vacuumed up, bought up by what are called data brokers, these companies that specialize in collecting information from lots of different sources and aggregating it.
And then repackaging it and reselling it or selling access to that information to others that might want it.
And in most cases, that's advertisers or marketers who want to gain your attention and your interest in products.
They want to sell you things.
But sometimes it's the government.
And I think that that's one thing that has become really, really clear today.
in recent months is that this administration, perhaps more than ever before, has been using those commercial resources, the resources available through data brokers to track people down, again, for purposes of finding people and deporting people, for figuring out where they live and where they work so that it can capture them at those places, or to locate folks for the purpose of suppressing dissent.
I think that the fact that that information can be combined is one of the things that is scariest about advances in computing and advances in data processing, right?
So I think most people think that it would be really difficult to combine all that information about them.
And they think not only...
Do I have nothing to hide, but also nobody would ever be so interested in me that they would combine all of that information that they go through all that trouble.
