Business (and government) are closely allied in seeking to protect the nation, but also to gather information on everyone and everything to further commercial interests, to second guess consumer trends and to predict where you or I will be spending.<br /><br />Just look at Amazon. They keep a history of everywhere you go on their site, what you search for and than build you a personal page, where they can make suggestions of things that you might be interested in.<br /><br />I object to this and clear my history, but unsurprisingly, they still manage to predict with accuracy things that I might be looking for.<br /><br />Google is probably the biggest culprit, but so is Apple and many others. They say that they don't share private information with each other (probably to protect their commercial interest) but they are obliged by the punitive laws in the USA to share them with government, who no doubt share with each other in defence of our homelands.<br /><br />The only way to get around this is to always pay cash in shops, because any use of cards is tracked to the hilt.UKViewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18114944341930758335noreply@blogger.com
