Sally and Kristen haven’t hung out in forever, so Sally suggests taking a selfie.
After Sally uploads the photo to Facebook, the app suggests she tag Kristen based on its facial-recognition system, which Kristen has given permission to use.

If you think this is bad, you should see what your banks and financial organizations catalog for analytics.
Big Data is the new whizz-bang thing in the IT world. Your personal lives are being boiled down to numbers for multifaceted analytics on behavior, trends, creditworthiness, fraud, application use, and the list goes on.
Some of it isn’t bad, such as fraud detection, but if you think Facebook is the only game in town doing this stuff, you’re not paying attention.
I used to work for one of the big cell providers, working with their law enforcement relations department. They can travel back in time to get your location.
If you live in New York, but traveled to Montana four years ago and robbed a bank in a small town there, if you ever get on their radar, they can check your phone records and pinpoint the location of your phone at that particular time with ridiculous accuracy. You are busted.
In fact, if you have an android phone you can go to google and check your google account and pick any date in the past (that you had the phone and the account) and see a map of everywhere you went on any given day. It actually can be quite useful not only for prosecutors but, if you’re innocent, for you to support the argument that you were not at a particular place at a particular time. You can access the data with ease. Law enforcement needs a subpoena.
The NSA has been creating maps of American citizens' social networks
Why do they want to do that?
What could social networks be used for in the hands of government? Consider:
Using Metadata to Find Paul Revere
How will such capabilities be used now?
How They Hunt
Is it already too late?...
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated..." US Constitution, Amendment IV.
While I recognize that my personal data is anything but personal, I avoid Google like it’s a plague-infested leper. Everything about Google is evil, and I regularly evangelize against them to those who will listen.
That's why I plan to give my cell phone and access code to a homeless guy in New York before I rob the bank in Montana.
:-P
How does one search their android info and can it be deleted?

FB and data collectors must hate me. Cash a check every couple of days and pay cash for everything - even when I go out to eat.
5 PM the iPhone gets put on the desk until in the morning. Don’t carry it when I go out and about.
Out to eat and I look at the next table. Four people - all looking at their smart phones.
Thanks....helpful comment.
I’m no fan of google. I also see the US government as a “candy coated” USSR. I deal with both with eyes wide open.
How old is your car? Do you walk when you go out to eat?
Remember your Facebook profile also. People volunteer birthday, who they are married to, career, friend list, high school class, entities liked, etc.
All that can be extracted by marketing companies via a web crawler.
Sure, you can adjust privacy settings but would you trust FB?
Subterfuge is better. Change your birthday, city, middle name for example.

If you have to have a phone on the trip, get a pre-paid phone and don’t call anyone you know. :)
You can just leave your phone in your charger in NY.

I’d just google the whole concept and you’ll find what you are looking for.
What colors, type and brands of clothing.
Any pets and their breed.
Body ink?
Other types of data available...

I do not own a cell phone.
THIS IS WHY SNOWDEN SHOULD BE A NATIONAL HERO!
He exposed that the NSA collects EVERYTHING.
This is useless for real time data discovery- there is just too much. You can’t analyze all of it at once. (ok maybe not ‘useless’... don’t get hung up here, I am making a point)
BUT...
You can go back in history and look at data for a specific person, once they come onto your radar.
Post a comment about a political figure that he doesn’t like? Let’s just see what you’ve been up to online...
I will play with it. Thanks.
