Even if you're boring, you're still being tracked.

[-] fidodo@lemm.ee 21 points 1 year ago

You're being tracked but nobody is paying attention.

[-] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 47 points 1 year ago

Not yet. But if/when they find you interesting they already have all the info they need.

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.de 11 points 1 year ago

Except bots. They're always watching.

Some people searched "boobs" on Google.

Some people watched Heartstopper on Netflix.

Some people searched for methods of aborting a baby by yourself.

Some people downloaded a Bible application.

Some people follow trans TikTokers.

Some people watched and liked YouTube videos that questioned the existence of a god.

Some men watched gay porn.

Some people regularly messaged a drug dealer.

Every datum is permanent, but every law isn't.

Big Brother isn't watching you

[-] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 36 points 1 year ago

So you don't understand how mass surveillance works? "Big brother" isn't "watching" you in real time, they're collecting and storing all the data they can en masse and having AI look at it for them. I personally object to the warrantless collection and storage of everyone's data.

[-] Eggyhead@kbin.social 25 points 1 year ago

They aren’t watching, but they are recording so they can watch later at their leisure and skip the commercials.

[-] Ganbat@lemmyonline.com 19 points 1 year ago

How does big brother know about my porn preferences if big brother isn't watching me masturbate? Checkmate.

This misrepresents how mass surveillance works.

It's high-throughput big-data processing. It's not a lad sitting in a room watching you specifically.

[-] socsa@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

I think it's actually a meme

[-] imgonnatrythis@lemm.ee 14 points 1 year ago

Sounds like a contradiction.

[-] Comment105@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

Big Brother was watching you, but isn't watching anymore.

Because he doesn't even want to know, he wants to forget. He knows if he goes back to look now he's not going to like it, and he can't do anything about it.

[-] Aasikki@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago

They just had a quick look and are no longer interested.

[-] gamey@feddit.rocks 11 points 1 year ago

That's half true, no one cares about you in particular but they still collect everything to have a database of all thing that could possibly care about in the future, Snowden did a great job revealing that and while it wasn't state driven you can take a look at the Cainbridge Analytica story if you want to know what's possible even if no one ever cares about you specifically, keep in mind that that's even possible with very outdated technology by todays standards!

Funny anti big brother propaganda. Hope you don't mean it serious. They are watching you

[-] EmoDuck@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'm afraid they do mean it serious. memes@lemmy.ml has always been known for it's very serious takes

[-] wallmenis@lemmy.one 9 points 1 year ago

What if i just don't feel comfortable for you to know when i watch porn?

[-] MataVatnik@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Except for that one woman in the NSA, she loves your dick pics.

[-] razrabotka@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago

Now this is a doubleplusgood meme

[-] DillonBrooksEnjoyer@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Sounds like I’m not that boring then 😤

[-] Wage_slave@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

Well then, I guess it's time to turn it up a notch. This one's for all you hard working nerds, whomps, freaks and losers at the NSA

Grabs tequilla, texts ex girlfriend, loads xxxfurrydamageandcake.com Letfuckingoooooooooo

[-] wheeldawg@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

The specificity of that url is sus. But I'm not verifying.

[-] TheLobotomist@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

How does he know my preferences if he's not watching me though?

[-] jarfil@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Big Brother isn't watching you... now he's watching your porn.

[-] WindInTrees@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

What can I say, I have good taste.

[-] unreachable@lemmy.my.id 5 points 1 year ago

i feel ~~watched~~attacked

[-] r00ty@kbin.life 5 points 1 year ago

Big brother isn't watching you because you're not a party member, merely a lowly prole. Deal with it!

[-] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

To be fair, I don't watch Big Brother either because it's boring.

[-] lowleveldata@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago

I'd like to know what preference is standard and not weird

[-] socsa@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Am I boring or are my porn preferences weird?

[-] Aria@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Is this the new propaganda angle? Because I can assure you he is.
