“You can do small things to reclaim privacy and make sure that, you know, parties that don’t need your data don’t get it.” NOTUS investigative reporter Byron Tau talks to Jordan Klepper about his new book, “Means of Control,” which explores the culture of surveillance created through a mass market of user data to track and target people for advertising and, in some cases, more nefarious purposes. Tau also offers basic steps anyone can take to reclaim some privacy and protect their information. #DailyShow #JordanKlepper #ByronTau
Jordan is a great interviewer, very informative segment, thank you
ReplyJordan hit the nail on the head:
Reply“Can we avoid this? Is this the world we live in now?”
Byron gives a few examples of things you could do to make yourself feel more anonymous, but he knows the answer to Jordan’s question is “no, it’s far too late and there’s really no turning back.”
It’s called Berla Corp and they’ve been collecting as much information as they can from your car’s infotainment center including your car’s charging port since 2013-2015 for law enforcement. This shoddy reporting is a joke. A segment on car data and no mention of Berla Corp. Oops- just got all your contacts, text messages and call logs! 😂
ReplyWhat really worried me about the abortion thing is all of those “free” period tracking apps…. and the ability to see ‘oh so and so didn’t have their period for 3 months then had it again, let’s go see if they had an illegal abortion’
ReplyWhat happened to John Oliver saying he would release data on congress clicking his weird ads?
ReplyEverything you post can be used against you…eventually it will.
ReplyThe things people give up just to have some entertainment.
ReplyWhat’s to stop someone from putting out fake data, and then having that be collected by a data broker?
Replyit’s legal… that is all IT is, why???….. just asking……
ReplySo this Chinese guy, we laugh with?
Edward Snowden, we were told to laugh at!
ReplyIs this the same episode Michael Costa was making fun of the conspiracy theorists?
ReplyI like the Variety of the TDS Hosts. Its refreshing having every Week the hosts in alternation! KEEP IT THAT WAY!
ReplySomeone needs to investigate Sirius XM to see if they are also selling your data in your car.
Replythese are not “technology companies” this is just big business advertising
ReplyLemme get rid of my Grindr. 🤭
ReplyJordan needs his own show.
ReplyAs disingenuous/halfhearted/etc as Jordan was covering the topic, THANK YOU FOR FINALLY SPENDING THE TIME TO SIMPLY GRAZE THE BREADTH/DEPTH OF THIS TOPIC … it took beyond way too many years, but as the saying goes – Better Late Than Never 🙏🏾
ReplyIts hilarious that Klepper respectfully interviews the author about this subject re: privacy and protections. Yet, in the same show mocks( the only pres candidate discussing these things) RFK, Jr. as a ‘conspiracy theorist’ for discussing these same, or similar, various privacy incursions and exploitations by corporate-captured industries in our govt and elsewhere. The collective intelligence and awareness of our country would be greater if more got their info from respectful conversations with each other, and/or reading, than listening to media’s distorted sound bites about others, designed to defame their character.
ReplySigh. I’m daunted by the number of activities I will have to take to maintain my privacy. Each app setting MUST have a special “Opt out of ALL tracking options” in a truly obvious place.
ReplyIt’s really naive to think that somehow it’s less bad that companies get your data. Government and corporate world are interconnected enough that it doesn’t matter anyway but at least people have some influence on government. And Nike may be a less sinister example, but ever since Cambridge Analytica, Nike should really not be the first example of data abuse that comes to mind.
