How Surveillance Tech Erodes Your Privacy | Jen Golbeck | TED
You’ve probably heard the warnings about digital privacy: read the terms of service, think before you share, be careful what you click. But AI ethicist Jen Golbeck says the problem runs a lot deeper than that. In this eye-opening talk, she reveals how corporations and governments built a system of “data colonialism” that tracks your…

Only the ignorant and naive say that. Thought policing is the obvious next step. Any intrusive thought you have can be used to throw you into a concentration camp. Any opinion you have that doesn’t strictly align with what the people in power believe will mark you as a “terrorist,” “communist,” or “mentally ill” — labels completely removed from their original definitions and redefined broadly in a way that includes you. Anything you’ve searched or sites you’ve visited in the past 20+ years can be used against you retroactively, if they want. Anything can be deemed a crime in a corrupt nation with bendable laws if those in power feel threatened by your existence. People keep using China as an example, but a more appropriate example would be North Korea.
What’s worse is that when it comes to surveillance cameras, there have been plenty of cases of mistaken identity where the two individuals look completely different. You could be arrested for someone else’s crime simply because the AI the police use isn’t sophisticated enough to distinguish between you and the suspect’s faces. If the best camera companies can’t make cameras that accurately detect black people’s faces with auto-focus face detection (not even facial recognition), what makes you think these government contractors can make better facial recognition technology when they don’t have the R&D history for it? They still haven’t been able to identify Savannah Guthrie’s mother’s kidnapper.

This is beside the point. The point is this is MY information. It belongs to ME. No one should be able to access my information without my consent. And warrantless searches are ILLEGAL.

The two-party, cult-of-personality politics, and big money control who Americans elect, and what those elected officials do.
Until such a time as Americans stop allowing those things to continue, our constitutional rights will always be violated.
The solution? I have no idea. Our choices of who to elect are limited by said two-party system. Third-party and independent candidates are generally not viable options. And the ones who are, seem to always get defeated by large budget campaigns and the charismatic two-party candidates.
Don’t vote? Don’t vote for the charismatic candidate? Doesn’t matter. Plenty of Americans will still be seduced by the system, and make your vote invalid, any way.

This is so negative. I just start with the license recognition system. How many criminals has this caught. You just ignore this fact. I agree with this comment: “If you’ve got nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear, surely”

July 16, 2026 at 12:27 pm
I would like to actually expand on my comment. What if the store surveillance camera (the police viewed) catches your neighbor buying bleach, hammer. axe and some other stuff that can show he murdered you husband or child. Then suddenly you will love surveillance. You are going into this one head minded.

there is always a trade-off between freedom and security. In a mass surveillance totalitarian society, in theory you could prevent all crime, but for this you would have to severely limit the freedom of the population. In a ‘state of nature’ society, people could do whatever they want, but there would not be any security. The difficulty is finding this goldilock zone, in which neither of them is severely limited

@HugoGerryts I’ll have to say that after researching this topic since the late 1990’s. I disagree with your analysis. That’s just way too simple. This topic is more complicated than that.

Your elected officials are NOT REPRESENTING YOU
because of ignorance (too old or can’t keep up with technology invasion changes), COMPLICITY (because they are financially benefitting in SOME way), or indifference (because they do NOT care to educate themselves, and they are not getting financial benefits from their indifference).

If you want convenience, you’ve gotta give away some of you privacy.
It’s like going to a restaurant, but you wouldn’t tell the waiter what you want, all because your preference is part of your privacy.

I feel like I struggled most of my life with how to manifest. Sometimes it felt so out of reach that I decided to give that archetype quiz by Vera Hart a try, and it really did wonders. It matched my personal archetype exactly, and that’s how I finally figured out how to do it properly. I highly recommend anyone who struggled like me to try it as well! It only takes a couple of minutes anyway ❤️

“If law enforcement needs a warrant to track you, they shouldn’t be able to just buy your data from a private broker for a few dollars.” This concept of data colonialism is a massive threat to civil liberties. A brilliant and urgent talk!
