  • Non-profit organization (onset 1920)
  • Goal to to aid those under the the given rights under the Constitution of the United States 
  • Fights unjust actions against citizens
The questions are:

  • What is the protection of law from government?

  • “Göring (Hermann Göring, head commander of the Luftwaffe, air force)  created the Forschungsamt, the Reich intelligence agency charged with signals intelligence, wire tapping, and cryptanalysts. Its operatives, chiefly code breakers and analysts, numbered 3500 or more, operating through Germany and later occupied Europe until the end of the war” (Irving,1989)..
  •  Post 9/11 Patriot Act (2001) contradicts the 4th Amendment of The Constitution, to invade privacy over the populace to prevent a terrorist attack (White, 2014).
    • Deliberating one’s privacy, autonomy, liberty, and human dignity. 
  • Chain of Command for surveillance is Office of National Intelligence (ONI), and Department of Homeland Security. Which gather information ("anonymously") further down the chain (White 2014). Third parties may be voluntary or involuntary informants.

  • Third Party defined as:  "An individual or entity that is involved in a transaction but is not one of the principals and, thus, has a lesser interest in the transaction" (Kenton & Scott, 2020). 
  • Note that there is no law, rule or guidelines for the data collection on individual use (strictly government and attacks upon the state). 
  • Through internet websites and applications human's are the product. Allowing lax guidelines on how information may be passed on. 
  • Through Third Parties illegal acts can be performed by governments legally 
    • ex. Ongoing debate of Russian manipulation in 2016 elections.

     75 % of U.S. adults say there should be more government regulation of what companies can do with customers' information (Pew Research Center, 2013) (Auxier & Rainie, 2019).
    Actions to Help
    • Writing letters to your senators 
    • Protests towards selected informant companies 
    • Civil Counsel Meetings (ACLU, 2021)
    • For more laws for third party associations on concealing the privacy. 
    • Use alternative non-tracking search or messaging programs (Qwant as seen below).
    • Even the so called "safe" WhatsApp had messages uploaded unto the Google search system. 
    • Boycott products and companies

    • Blind Trust (Filter Bubble) 
      • Algorithmic distortions only showing what the individual search patterns correlate to. Which in turn gratifies the instant gratification of dopamine (Orlowski, 2020). 
    • Use of internet has become a need, not a want. 
      • “It’s the gradual, slight, imperceptible change in your own behavior and perception that is the product.” - Jarson Lainer (2020)
      • Used for for capitalistic gain 
      • Tracking in what people do, look, stream, timing, examines personality (2020). 
      • These algorithms made to study the individual(s) are for profit not one's own health (2020). 
      • Further having individuals susceptible to "Polarization, addiction, and radicalization" (2020)

  • Walmart is also a possible threat in the collecting of private information. 
  • Buyers enter the website:  name, address, credit card, purchases with patterns. 
  • Algorithms are made from these patterns identifying the what status in life the individual is. 
  • These harmless "shopping lists" may be intentionally or unintentionally leaked (White, 2014) 
  •  “In March 2007, Walmart's "Threat Research and Analysis Group" fired Bruce Gabbard, a computer technician, for unauthorized recording of conversations between Walmart and a New York Times reporter, Michael Barbaro, and intercepting Walmart colleagues' text messages. After leaving Walmart, Gabbard disclosed some of Walmart's surveillance practices, including targeting citizens groups and critics” (Ruskin, 2013)

Many are willing to accept the deals they are offered in return for sharing insight about their purchases, behaviors and social lives. At times, their personal information is collected by the government on the grounds that there are benefits to public safety and security." (Auxier & Rainie, 2019)
    • Americans are concerned about how much data is being collected about them, and many feel their information is less secure than it used to be (Auxier & Rainie, 2019). 
    • A majority of the public believes much of their online activities are being tracked (Auxier & Rainie, 2019). 
    • The majority of the public does not feel in control of the data collected about them (Auxier & Rainie, 2019).
    • Most Americans see more risks than benefits from personal data collection (Auxier & Rainie, 2019).
    • Almost all Americans have been asked to agree to privacy policies, but fewer actually read them (Auxier & Rainie, 2019).
