SHARING IS CARING, SECRETS ARE LIES, PRIVACY IS THEFT. Last week, Facebook, which has, in shades of Orwell, a chief privacy officer removed a privacy setting so that any Facebook user can search for any other Facebook user. The next day, Google unveiled a plan that would make it possible for the company to use its customers’ words and likeness in ads for products they like, information that Google knows because, well, Google knows everything. “We’re at the dawn of the Second Enlightenment,” says one of The Circle’s founders in a speech to the staff. “I’m talking about an era where we don’t allow the majority of human thought and action and achievement and learning to escape as if from a leaky bucket.” [It] believes if it can eliminate secrecy people will be forced to be their best selves all the time. (shades of behavioral control) “If you have something that you don’t want anyone to know,” Eric Schmidt, the former chief executive of Google, once said, “maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place.” There you are kinkroids the Circle is coming to...encircle you. Unless of course, you've got...something to hide. Sound familiar ? To us young/old...it does. HERE
