(CNN) -- I'm going to start with three data points.

One: Some of the Chinese military hackers who were implicated in abroad set of attacks against the U.S. government and corporationswere identified because they accessed Facebook from the samenetwork infrastructure they used to carry out their attacks.

Two: Hector Monsegur, one of the leaders of the LulzSac hackermovement, was identified and arrested last year by the FBI. Althoughhe practiced good computer security and used an anonymous relayservice to protect his identity, he slipped up.

And three: Paula Broadwell,who had an affair with CIAdirector David Petraeus, similarly took extensiveprecautions to hide her identity. She never logged in to heranonymous e-mail service from her home network.Instead, she used hotel and other public networks whenshe e-mailed him. The FBI correlated hotel registrationdata from several different hotels -- and hers was the

common name.

The Internet is a surveillance state. Whether we admit it to ourselvesor not, and whether we like it or not, we're being tracked all the time.Google tracks us, both on its pages and on other pages it has accessto. Facebook does the same; it even tracks non-Facebook users.

Apple tracks us on our iPhones and iPads. One reporter used a toolcalled Collusion to track who was tracking him; 105 companiestracked his Internet use during one 36-hour period.

Increasingly, what we do on the Internet is being combined with otherdata about us. Unmasking Broadwell's identity involved correlating

her Internet activity with her hotel stays. Everything we do nowinvolves computers, and computers produce data as a natural by-product. Everything is now being saved and correlated, and manybig-data companies make money by building up intimate profiles ofour lives from a variety of sources.

News: Cyberthreats getting worse, House intelligence officials warn

Facebook, for example, correlates youronline behavior with yourpurchasing habits offline. And there's more. There's location datafrom your cell phone, there's a record of your movements fromclosed-circuit TVs.

This is ubiquitous surveillance: All of us being watched, all the time,

and that data being stored forever. This is what a surveillance statelooks like, and it's efficient beyond the wildest dreams of GeorgeOrwell.

Sure, we can take measures to prevent this. We can limit what wesearch on Google from our iPhones, and instead use computer webbrowsers that allow us to delete cookies. We can use an alias onFacebook. We can turn our cell phones off and spend cash. Butincreasingly, none of it matters.

There are simply too many ways to be tracked. The Internet, e-mail,cell phones, web browsers, social networking sites, search engines:these have become necessities, and it's fanciful to expect people tosimply refuse to use them just because they don't like the spying,

especially since the full extent of such spying is deliberately hiddenfrom us and there are few alternatives being marketed by companiesthat don't spy.

This isn't something the free market can fix. We consumers have nochoice in the matter. All the major companies that provide us withInternet services are interested in tracking us. Visit a website and itwill almost certainly know who you are; there are lots of ways to betracked without cookies. Cellphone companies routinely undo theweb's privacy protection. One experiment at Carnegie Mellon tookreal-time videos of students on campus and was able to identify one-third of them by comparing their photos with publicly available taggedFacebook photos.

Maintaining privacy on the Internet is nearly impossible. If you forgeteven once to enable your protections, or click on the wrong link, ortype the wrong thing, and you've permanently attached your name towhatever anonymous service you're using. Monsegur slipped uponce, and the FBI got him. If the director of the CIA can't maintain hisprivacy on the Internet, we've got no hope.

In today's world, governments and corporations are working togetherto keep things that way. Governments are happy to use the datacorporations collect -- occasionally demanding that they collect moreand save it longer -- to spy on us. And corporations are happy to buydata from governments. Together the powerful spy on the powerless,and they're not going to give up their positions of power, despite what

the people want.

Fixing this requires strong government will, but they're just as punch-drunk on data as the corporations. Slap-on-the-wrist finesnotwithstanding, no one is agitating for better privacy laws.

So, we're done. Welcome to a world where Google knows exactlywhat sort of porn you all like, and more about your interests than yourspouse does. Welcome to a world where your cell phone companyknows exactly where you are all the time. Welcome to the end ofprivate conversations, because increasingly your conversations areconducted by e-mail, text, or social networking sites.

And welcome to a world where all of this, and everything else thatyou do or is done on a computer, is saved, correlated, studied,passed around from company to company without your knowledge orconsent; and where the government accesses it at will without awarrant.

Welcome to an Internet without privacy, and we've ended up herewith hardly a fight.

are but yet is somehow not able to shut down the robo callers who spoof their caller ID?

Truth Hurts 2 days agoWaronalloffus

I wouldn't be surprised to find out that Facebook, Google, YouTube,

Twitter, Microsoft....... are agencies working for CIA. They are watching us when we

talk with friends online (Facebook), when we share our pictures and videos online

(Facebook, YouTube), when we are searching for something online (Google), while

checking our mails online (Yahoo mail, Gmail), while shopping online, we access

our bank accounts online, we have to apply for a job online....... and the most

recent one, we could save all our computer data online (Microsoft Cloud), so there

should be nothing that we know of that the government don't, and we still wonder

how much the government knows about us.

P.S: Lets not forget Disqus. They blocked my IP address so i wouldn't be able to

leave comments. Why? because they didn't liked one of my comments. I have to

use VPN now for commenting.

lol thats the entire point, for you to think it is STILL the govenrment,

when the government is doing very little, corporations and capitalism is doing

this.

there is very little chance we will be ruled by a government but by a business,

already international corporations have more expendable money and

manpower than most western countries and they are the ones who have

control over all manufacturing, not the government.

So how do you "unplug" from the corporations? Maybe

"BitCoin" will take hold? But with all this power they could track down

all the illegal aliens.

Till then we need one big solar flare to wipe the data.

you force them to become democratic. a rule where ownership

would be any parts.

-investors

-creators (no more symbolic 1$ for engineering patent, or music)

-workers

-customers

-the country

-the state

-some day the world government, galactic government ... etc

because no corporation is an island. if google get strong its because of

where it was born, who worked there, their customers, the innovators,

and to some point investors but much less than right now, at most 10%

We can blame corporations all we want; but when Facebook

has "1 billion" users ... the blame can more accurately be found, in a

mirror.

What is so unsettling about that is ... there has been more than one

article in the news about ( insert favorite government agency) using

Facebook as a database of citizens ... and the sheep keep signing up.

That goes for all social media sites. When it is self-inflicted, is it

completely the governments fault for abusing it? Like it or not, a large

section of our Nation is flat out moronic at best.

Thank you, to the author for attempting to sound the alarm for what

seems to be a very deaf audience.

It's not just Facebook; anytime you access a web site, you are

being tracked. Walk down any city street and you are being watched by

television cameras, your charge cards track your buying habits because

retailers routinely sell you information, so does your bank in many

cases. Your social security card can track where your are working and

anything else you need to identify yourself with your SS number.

you forgot about the little "club cards" and loyalty discount programs st

every supermarket, drug store or chain retailer ...tracking everything you

purchase from deodorant to dog food. What do you think they know

about you based on your shopping habits? They know I saved 40 bucks

at Ralphs and those receipts can also tell them I don't cook much and I

am a woman and I have pets. If they look at the one for petco they will

know exactly how many and what size and how old they are too. Andthe really scary part was the information disclosure I just signed to get

my mammogram at cedar's sinai last week.

I decided early on that Facebook would be a lost cause to "secure" in

privacy. I decided the only way to not sweat the details was to just let it

all hang out and go public with everything. i am aware that I am naked

to the world with anything that goes up there, and maybe by advertising

my whole true self to the world I will be set free from being ashamed of

anything that is really me.

"That only works if you always pay with cash" What's wrong

with that? I weened my self from credit and debit cards by also taking

up Where's George as a hobby - I turned the "inconvenience" of cash

into a game. And by paying in cash, I very quickly got re-grounded in

exactly how much many things cost and have saved a good chunk of

change vs. using credit cards or debit cards on a whim. Sure, I could

afford it - but why spend frivolously just for the sake of spending?

I can think of far worse things than people having to pay with

cash...

Web servers have been recording IP addresses of every

connecting computer since the web was invented. It is not even a hack,

- it's a standard feature of every computer. Which makes all that fear

mongering about "surveillance" kinda meaningless.

The problem is that people are using wrong allegories for the Internet.

There is no such thing as "cyberspace". It's just your machine

connected to another machine. There is no room in a "chat room", and

you are not "entering" anything or "talking" to anybody. It's just your

computer exchanging 1-s and 0-s with another computer, creating an

illusion for you that you are talking to another person.

It can be that as far as computers are concerned, a 15-year old boy is

talking to a 14-year old girl, while in fact it's a 60-year old pervert talking

to a 40-year old FBI agent, or the other way around. That beautiful

young lady on a dating site, - it's just a picture uploaded by somebody.

You never know until you actually meet that person in the real world.

If you don't want wrong people to read your e-mails or want reasonable

assurance for the identity of the person you are communicating with,

use encryption. PGP has been in existence since the early 90-s and it's

not that difficult to use. You just have to bother using it.

Only problem is any encryption can be cracked by a powerful

enough computer given enough time.

For now, it's just not worth taking the time to crack your messages

(probably). If the CIA/NSA/fill in your acronym here decided you were

some kind of terrorist, I'm sure they would find a way to get through any

protections you put in place.

But with your encryption you are making it unpleasant for any casual

corporate interest trying to mine your data for marketing purposes. It's

not full-proof, but it is a marked improvement.

momzna 14 hours agoNeoPrudentist

You are absolutely right about fending off casual pocking into

your data. That's the whole idea.

I wouldn't worry about somebody's ability to crack encryption. The

government would just ask one of your "friends" for the keys "nicely",

and criminals would put a welding torch up your butt.

I never heard about law enforcement having obtained digital evidence

by cracking somebody's encryption. However, I've read about several

mafia cases in which FBI have icked the locks to the mobster's house

and installed a chip into his keyboard, so every time he pressed a key

the chip would get it before the cpu.

When hackers stole 30 million credit card numbers from TGX several

years ago, it turned out that those corporate doofuses had cash

registers transmitting credit card transactions over open wi-fi network.

So all those hackers had to do was to walk into a store with a laptop

and sniff the traffic.

But yes, totally agreed.

It's like when people complain about simple-minded campaign

advertising. "Why do people keep making these commercials that are

so shallow and mindless?" Answer: "Because people watch them and

listen to them. Campaigns don't spend money on things that don't

work. If enough people ignored them they would go away."

Put a big tent over it so it can't be seen by satellite. Then live totally

alone for the rest of your life. Pretty sad though that this would be what

it would take...

Are you kidding? Democrats represent the biggest corporation

of them all--the federal government. Democrats don't care about liberty

and freedom just increasing their power OVER the people through a

massive and ever-expanding bureaucracy. The Democrats sole reason

for existence is to create and expand the dependance class. Used to be

called the proletariat, now it's called Obama/democrat voters.
