allowed streaming in that sub verses documentary about the weather
underground that's on netflix

documentary
when the weather underground but it's a very
friendly documentary
well why would you think twice about watching it
ice and i'm sure that's on netflix benefits there are something like it
here's why you should be concerned if the republicans have their way you just
might end up on somebody's watch list somewhere
yes now making this up this week the house representatives
the republican controlled house representatives
passed an amendment to the nineteen eighty eight video protection privacy
act
which forbids movie rental companies from sherry or selling their customers
viewing history
is to be you can walk into a video stores sell up at the age s of
uh...
behind the green door deepthroat early yet if that was your taste right you can
at least at some
several warren of the weather underground or are you know uh...
dancing with karl marx or whatever it may be
and you would know that
that company could not share with other people what movies you were watching
but now the republicans the house representatives we want netflix to be
able to end and all the other companies out there all the other countries to be
able to salva share or do whatever they damn well please
with your ewing history
the senate is expected to take up this amendment soon
if this passes
what you watch on netflix may soon become public information the your
friends employers and even the government will have access to
r_u_ regretting this training that latest curled and kumarm over yet
are all those soft *** chick flicks
netflix is in favor the law
because they think it's going to help them ranch into social media and connect
face book customers to each other
based on similar case in films
arguably a double companies uh... amazon and and barnesandnoble amanda are
already doing this
although typically
they are asking
if you wanna publisher
but see i would even be estate of legal right now under this law uh... under the
law but they want a blow that up on mention my netflix is the enormous
profit potential
in selling your viewing history to advertisers who can target specific
demographics
based on your preference in movies
c_i_o_'s this somebody watches movies from the seventies so they probably are
in their fifties it was a study watches bullies of the nineties there probably
in the thirties
this is somebody watching or
this is somebody who likes uh... action movies so
you know and and movies about uh... via hunting and shooting so let's send them
some n_r_a_ stuff
or this is somebody who watches movies about

also on mentioned by netflix is just too well spy get the information once is
taken out of the privacy lockbox
current version of this amendment does include a provision work wiring netflix
to get their customers consent
before sharing their viewing history
argue that's helpful to those of us who are where the online threats to our
privacy
but the vast majority of americans especially younger generations of
americans are
or at least seem to be completely unaware
but their privacy is in danger when the plug into the internet
and if they do ask for your provisional prolly end up being part of those
notorious terms and conditions that you checked checked the ir grieve box for
just to get out of the site
where a german divisions

print on the part of our website

uh... i read one that had been arbitration clause in it basically and
surrendering meyer eight oh two
might my constitutional right my fifth amendment right my first baroda to sue
any other reason fiasco with instead graham in the ongoing privacy concerns
about face book highlight how americans willingly flock to social media
without thinking about the consequences for their or your privacy or the value
of and this is important
anonymity
we are sacrificing privacy and anonymity for convenience and interconnection
we enthusiastically poster locations are pictures are personal information and
social media networks all of which are monitored by advertisers
employers and future employers
and even law enforcement
your web experiences now carefully compiled and examined so that
advertising can target used specifically
bidding collecting data on what web sites you go to
what you search for
on hundreds of websites and search engines
and his uh... i i i think i talk to this story uh... when the louise had her
a breast cancer surgery and was going to chemo
and was going on you know things about breast cancer do educate yourself
all of sudden virtually every website she hit was throwing as ever
for things like you know wigs for people who are losing their hair to chemo or
you know
acute care cures cancer cures you know
dr doctor quack backs
acme cancer care
and i mean you know and i i i guess that's not horribly i think this is
including a chic as happens in the office in opens up a computer to sushi
logs on any website i know senator
bom all the says throwing these ads are now that's what i horribly embarrassing
if you've been through cancer but
you know what if you've been googling
knows traverse
or what if you've been google eclectic
notion hodding that's fine
or what if you've been googling
uh...
you know it's alright als amid what if you can go bowling
i don't know what you would use a gem
while they would get in trouble and uh...
uh... you know there's gotta be of a whole bunch of things that you know
people want it
gay people who are still on the closet who are who are not out
do you really want in all those gay dating service ads
or straight people who are having affairs as they're in
man was that actually in some financially madison i think it was
whatever
you know all the sidewalk nancy get if you do that anne
whatever baby the idea just for this bizarre
it's a blatant
but legal
violation of your individual privacy
and this on-line data collection is now a multi
billion dollar industry
this level surveillance would've been
horrified previous generations including her phoneme fathers
i mean they put the right to privacy the fourth amendment that some part of west
in the bill a rights
in the twenty-first century we become conditioned to accept these invasions
our privacy
it's that there are all
in fact it's increasingly looking like the united states is just one generation
away from completely forgetting what privacy means
and the consequences could be tragic for democracy in our republic that's cuz
without
privacy pardon me without the ability to be anonymous
our ability a plan
peaceful revolution or nonviolent social change
is radically scaled back and big corporations are brittle are awash in
beta blocker sabotage our efforts it's no secret i think we've had this massive
surveillance state built up the m_s_a_s building this giant spy centre
and they'd be upon all is that the other emails phone calls text messages
also easily analyze it that you get five hundred quintal ian pages attached
but here is that what's most important remember
social change hinges on privacy in some cases even total privacy or anonymity
because all it back the boston tea party
when anonymous activist known as to this day
as ross tickets that's all we know about this guy
posted flyers around boston rockland directly to the boston tea pot
fifty east india company unknown rustic us was
because shut down the boston tea party forty conservative
if they had no this isn't the anthony elizabeth katie stanton works conspiring
to illegally vote they could have blocked that we can stop that if they
had no the martin luther king and rosa parks were planning what they were
playing with civil rights movement they could have stopped it
