Amazon Will Sell YOU to Advertizers.

(10/9/2014) What and how often do we shop in Amazon? The items we views, the reviews we read, the movies we watched... Next, our personal data of all information above might be up for sale by Amazon.  Don't be scared, it's not all your credit card information will be flying on the Internet. It will not be much different from the Ads, that google and other online advertisers know about us, you views in your browser. I am not surprised by this move at all. If Amazon cashes in our personal information, think about all other smaller websites or online retailers we have visited. No wonder now the bank hacking or data breaches are not news anymore because we (as consumers) are all "FOR SALE".

Bezos: Let me know more about you.

Modern Society and Privacy

(7/31/2014) You don't check in on your Facebook page. You don't take Selfie. You are not even a celebrity. But as long as you look different, the 21st century society can still keep track of you.
