Kindof like how Americans found out much later about all the NSA wiretapping going on. Plus, did you also know that the FBI can listen in on your conversation through the microphone in your mobile phone, even while you are not using it and while it is turned off? No? Then just check out this video. Still, only 66% of Americans think their government is spying on them. I would have expected it to be much more. I guess most of them are still not aware of Echelon (video). Even the Internet is being monitored. I wrote about this before in more detail. And when they check your webbrowsing history, they might be just as surprised as this principal: The student was sent to the Principal’s office to face disciplinary measures. Steiner Ranch Elementary Assistant Principal Amy Moore was reportedly surprised that the school’s IP filters hadn’t blocked the sites.

In that article I also mentioned how the companies offering those kinds of services will increasingly encourage users to give them and trust them with more and more of their data. Even, and indeed especially, their personal data. In that article I also mentioned why they would want to do this, and I mentioned the very terrible consequences for users and the Internet in the future. Among many more, those consequences include the loss of privacy, the loss of control over (personal) information and content and ultimately the loss of freedom.

I warned in that post about the fact that these kinds of centralized services take control away from the user and put it into the hands of a few, who can decide what gets published and what they do with all that data and content.
