Understanding the Surveillance Economy

Ever get the feeling that your phone is listening to you?

You mention something in a conversation, and a few hours later, you get an ad for

that very thing.

Most people assume their phone is spying on their conversations,

and it may be.

But most of the time, the truth is even worse than that.

The Internet is not free. That's the lie.

All of the apparently free services you've enjoyed at Google or Facebook

or TikTok,

you've actually paid for,

but not with money. You've paid for these with your privacy.

Five billion consumers are in our identity

graph. Five billion. How many people are on Earth? Seven billion.

Two billion to go.

Every search, every message, every purchase, every location becomes

part of a digital dossier that is bought and sold and analyzed by

companies you have never heard of.

You know nothing about them; they know everything about you.

But they're not just watching you, they're shaping your behavior as well, and

we can prove that. We spent months digging through lawsuits,

corporate documents,

and privacy policies to uncover who exactly is collecting this data,

how they're

using it, and who is behind the whole operation.

By the end of this series, you will be upset because you will

understand how the

surveillance economy works and what you can do to protect your

privacy.
