What-was-Equifax-Breach-and-why-privacy-matters
Once your private information is out there it’s going to stay there forever. There is no “delete” button for the Internet. Especially for the darknet side of it. Your data will be floating around before it gets to the hands of the right people to make you become a victim of a major cyber crime.
Why privacy matters
Privacy is not just to ease paranoid conspiracy theorists. It’s a right of everyone to protect yourself from abuse from the government, your employer, advertisers, your neighbors, criminals, or anyone else you want to stay away from. There is no counter argument for privacy. Privacy means you have nothing to hide, therefore they have no reason to look.
Equifax breach of private information
Equifax breach is a proof why privacy matters.
Once the government collects your data, once Facebook tracks you all over the Internet, once Google sells your gmail messages and Google searches to advertisers, once Apple knows everywhere you go, your private information is just as well open for anyone to do with it whatever they desire.
It’s not about you not worrying about this, because you don’t do anything wrong. You don’t do anything wrong, therefore nobody has a reason to watch you.
Every time a data brokering ad exchange shares your data with their business partners, they leave them insecure traveling across the world through the Internet. It only takes someone inclined to attack these ad exchanges and steal profiles with everyone’s private information.
You are not asked for your consent. Everyone’s data are collected. Period. If not by Facebook, Google, or Microsoft, your data are being collected by Axciom, Epsilon, Exparian, Adobe, Oracle, or even Equifax, all of which are their marketing partners at some point of the marketing food chain. Facebook, Google, and its partners even lobby against your right to choose not to have your private data used for manipulative advertising.
Explain to me how what Equifax is doing is any different from what Google or Facebook are doing? They collect all of your data, including your personal information like social security number, phone number, home address, credit card data, and they score your profile according to the monetization opportunity for advertisers. If you are ranked waste, your data is sold cheap. If you rank higher, you make them more lucrative deals.
This is why privacy matters. Privacy matters now. By protecting your privacy today, you are protecting your privacy tomorrow. By standing for your rights now, you are standing up for them in the future.
We are defending privacy as a fundamental universal right. Privacy is for everybody equally. If you revoke it for someone, you revoke it for everyone else. Either everyone has privacy, or no one has privacy.
Equivalent to Equifax breach will happen with all of your Internet data Facebook and Google collected. Equifax is a case study how poorly companies treat your private information and maintain their security. They are rarely held responsible, because they just vaguely attribute the attack to state actors without any proof, rather than admitting their failure.
They know they’ll get away with it, just like the big banks know they’ll get away with predatory lending. The practices of Wall Street are spreading to Silicon Valley. This another example how corporate America rigged the economy and democracy, and ruined everything in the process.
If you still don’t care about your privacy, fine. You are free to post your personal information all over Facebook and Twitter. Tweet your passwords, share your bank records, dump your home address and employment history all over the web. Install cameras and microphones into your house livestreaming yourself 24/7 to Google, Facebook, and Amazon, and its hundreds upon hundreds of mergers, partners, and third parties.
If you are so actively trying to kill privacy, the foundation of democracy, you might as well just do that. But don’t take down everyone else’s right to privacy with yours.
