Episode 46 - Spectre, Are They Already Listening to Everything? Are Already Living Nine Eyes?

Spectre introduced the idea of the government listening in and knowing everything about everyone. This episode introduces the idea that Spectre's plot failed for two reasons, one, that it was the government that had all the information, and that two, they never explained the nefarious ways this information could be used.  This episode explores the idea that it is not the government that is listening and watching, but that private enterprises are capturing everything about you all the time and turning you into a product.  Secondly, we explore different ways this vast amount of data collection can be utilized to predict and manipulate people to the highest bidder.  What if the Bond 26 villain sells manipulation to the highest bidder?  What if through vast data collection and artificial intelligence analysis, companies, governments, nefarious actors can purchase spheres of influence to control masses to win them over through sophisticated manipulation?  Join myself, and Marc Harold, a former law professor, CNN, Fox News, HLN and CourtTV contributor, who authored a fantastic book Out of the Blue as we discuss all the implications of what this thing we call privacy actually is.   --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/donald-waldron/support
