This is the only update I've seen from it. Thank you for posting this.

Marketing can be really broad. You can market a shirt or you can convince someone to join a cult. And you can find out if someone is more likely to join a cult through the gathered data.

If you don't see the dangers of propaganda and misinformation, like I said:

Just saying cold calling and door-to-door is the same as the data gathering tactics now shows your ignorance on the topic.

So you want kids to understand cocaine and heroin and sex by a professional instead of a priest. If they don't then in your logic, they will fall on deaf ears.

Language is incredible. You can describe experiences that others have without actually being there or doing those things. It even works with fiction! Or horrible events like war! Or even drugs without exposing them to it!

Gatekeeping the Internet works the same way. If you’re going to do that, you might as well download the sex offender registry and invite them all to the kid’s birthday party.

I never said to prevent them from using the internet, I said social media.

While NSA did not possess the equipment required to access the footage from the media format in which it was preserved, NSA deemed the footage to be of significant public interest and requested assistance from the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) to retrieve the footage. NARA’s Special Media Department was able to retrieve the footage contained on two 1" AMPEX tapes and transferred the footage to NSA to be reviewed for public release.

This was a story a couple of months ago. Glad it worked out.

I guess falsely accusing black people and throwing them in jail lost its effectiveness to replace slavery.

I'm going to guess she ran it over backing up and then when the car was over the pole, she drove forward and the pole went straight up and went through the trunk flooring.

Anyone have any thoughts?

I wanted a dumb tv. I was so sick of looking, I just got a 27" gaming monitor with 2k resolution for $150.

You can also get a 32" 4K monitor for like $500 but I didn't really need that.

Direct mailing, cold calling, lead farming, door-to-door

None of those compare to what is happening now. Those are playing wack a mole hoping to get a sale. What's happening now is recording everything you show a reaction to, whether enjoyable or not, and use it against the user.

A list of names, address from marketers is nothing compared to the amount of data tech companies are getting from individuals.

Kinda like teaching kids about heroin or cocaine.

They should also learn not talking to strangers by putting their lives at danger.

There have been priests that taught sex education using your logic.

Again, nothing particularly novel. Marketing, news, propaganda.

Marketing, news, and propaganda of the past never targeted people directly. It's also not just feeding them content, it's also taking and storing massive amounts of data from the user that will be used against them.

Looks like they got the funding they need. I wished they kept the shirts up for sale though...

You can still teach and prepare without exposing.
