Google and Facebook Are Personal Data Hoarders
Personal information is a billion-dollar industry. Big data didn’t become big until companies like Facebook asked for personal data and people willingly handed it over by the millions. Big data became even bigger when telephone book companies went bankrupt and were acquired by tech companies for pennies on the dollar – bringing decades’ worth of printed information to the digital sphere. Then apps and smartphones came about, requesting direct access to practically everything in the palm of our hand. Even people who didn’t care much about technology or computers jumped into the smartphone craze. All this information is making companies richer than ever.
Facebook has a fillable form for everything for a reason. Name, address, phone number, and whatever you want to share with the world is a simple privacy toggle between public and friends only. Facebook loves it when people choose to share things publicly because then they can list your profile on Google and what you shared. This is where criminals and big companies profit – public profiles are personal information goldmines.
Since your Facebook profile (name and picture) is clickable, anyone who views your shared content can also directly go to your Facebook profile and immediately see what else you’ve made publicly available. Copying and pasting this information takes seconds. Facebook certainly doesn’t want to stop anyone from sharing information, otherwise they would program their website to prevent copying and pasting text – there are hundreds of other ways to capture this information even if copying and pasting were disabled. Screenshots, downloading the webpage as an HTML file, saving it as a PDF, or even printing it off and mailing it. Remove yourself from the internet today using Wiperts. The less information available about you on the internet, the better off you will be. Preventing this data from being accessed online will also stop it from being reproduced offline or online.
Companies and criminals alike use personal info to enrich themselves. Fighting against Google, Facebook, and other online giants is no easy task. Your personal information is similar to gold and these online giants love to hoard as much as possible. There are many big and small companies that list, buy, and sell information online. Everyone is in the personal information business because it is profitable. Criminals are no exception, gold is gold and they want as much as possible. Finding your personal information online brings criminals one step closer to their ill-gotten money. Don’t let them snoop on you. Ask how Wiperts can help you today.
Facebook even knows if you came from Google or another website because of your web browser. Your web browser tracks where you have gone and tells other websites this information. Google displays search results based-on hundreds of different things. Most people focus on things like “search terms” and “key words,” but in reality, Google’s search algorithm is a breathing equation, constantly receiving new information and calculating results based-on what it just learned.
Google figured out your Facebook profile a long time ago. Did you sign up for Facebook using Gmail? Did you ever sign into Facebook using Chrome, Android, or any other Google-related product? Google’s memory is literally computer-perfect. Piecing together this kind of information-jigsaw puzzle is child’s play to Google and Facebook. These two companies are partners in the big data industry. Google directs millions if not billions of users to Facebook pages every day. It would be foolish to think that they are truly competitors.
Google lists Facebook profiles right next to ads, and when people click on Facebook links they are shown another double helping of ads from Facebook. The more Facebook profiles listed on Google, the more profits both companies can achieve. Why compete when working together makes so much more money? Data brokers are willing to buy and sell information to one another. Google and Facebook are the two biggest data brokers in the history of mankind, but no one views them that way because of slick advertising campaigns and brilliant public relations departments. Don’t be fooled. Facebook and Google make money off listing your personal information to the world.
