Introduction
These videos were very eye-opening. I feel like these are topics and discussions that people know about, but no one really takes a second to think about what this really means. I took away two things: the Internet footprint and the way that the government watches and surveillance us. I will say that for the first video, I like how he opened up his topic by talking about tattoos and saying that our footprint is basically our tattoos.
How this Affects You
This affects us in a big way. As I said before, I feel like everyone knew this due to the inventions of cameras, coverings, VPNs, and other inventions used to keep security. Still, I don’t think anyone knows the actual implications. This means that the government has a sort of folder. What a person is watching. This could be a good thing if the person’s a criminal, but if the person’s not and is just a citizen, this is a massive invasion of privacy
What the Government can do
I am not sure what the government can do, as one of the topics is something that they contribute to as they have access to phone logs. Knowing what I know, I don’t think the government would change what they’re doing, as they definitely think that they’re doing the right thing. There may be a few cases where these tactics have worked in the past, and they will use those experiences as proof that this tactic is necessary.
How to Protect Yourself
I stated before their inventions to help and protect people from the government or whoever is looking through your data; I would say if you’re concerned and scared about this topic, you should look up and invest in some of these products, but make sure you don’t go too far down the rabbit hole as this is something that no ordinary person can fix and this may be our reality. However, there’s a sure thing we can do to combat this, but there’s nothing we can genuinely do to fix
