Have you freaked out when you found that somebody could analyze all your tweets?
I was tracking one of the companies in the twitter while doing competitive analysis. I could see when they started, how they started and when I plotted in the graph I could actually see the tipping point when they hit off. I realized that if I could do that about others, then anybody else could also do about me. I know some algorithm can reveal much more. This freaked me out
- relaxedricky 13y agoYou don't think this stuff is already actively being used? I guess if until this point you didn't know such things could be done, then this could freak you out to a point.
- bimmah 13y agoi know it is actively being used. it is used by the universities while taking admission decisions, governments spying in people. for example, government in vietnam could fine people if found criticizing in social media. Potential employers stalking the social media accounts of the candidates. It freaked me out even more when more disturbing could be done by analyzing the posts.
- danpalmer 13y agoI can't say I find that particularly freaky, I assume all of my tweets are publicly available and that people will be able to determine things about me, so I limit the information appropriately. However something I did find freaky: Facebook have enough analytics that they believe they can predict relationships starting up to 6 months in advance, and predict predict them ending 6 months before they do.
- bimmah 13y agoeven i have reduced sharing my opinions in social media. i mostly share for the marketing purpose or just share something trivial such as jokes or memes or some other shit. but i think social media is about giving people uninhibited freedom. somehow, that freedom is taken away.
