Is Your Phone Spying On You?

Is your Android phone tracking you?
This is definitely a case of TOO MUCH INFORMATION!

Your App is spying on you
Just make sure you know what you're allowing your phone to do.

What Does Your Car Know About You? More Than You Might Think.
It sounds like your car is also spying on you and that actually the car and the phone can work together in a plot against their owner!

Phones and cars spying on us? That's treasonous behavior! I say we impeach them!

Social Credit Score USA
Add Alexa, smart TVs, fitbits, etc. to the list of devices spying on you. That data will be used to create a social credit score system. But it's all good, because this is all being done by private companies and they can do what they like. Next time you hear someone spout that little gem, tell them to go to hell because that whole private company excuse is just plain stupid.

SOCIAL CREDIT SYSTEMS ARE HERE, Shadow Companies Are Creating 'Surveillance Scores'
At this point none of this has been developed to the point where it is reliable and so although the data is being collected and analyzed, there is a lot of testing and development to be done. Exactly what this will be used for remains to be seen. So, yes, your data is being collected, but at this point it's not actually being used against you. If anything it's being used to improve services and help companies make decisions on the viability of various products they offer. There is the potential for evil, but it's a little bit of a conspiracy theory to think that current implementations violate any ethical norms.
