The question about social media is who owns those services?

The question about social media is who owns those services? 

And what kind of data would be interesting the spies? The answer is the data, which can be used for blackmailing operations. If some politician or net activist, who claims to fight for the animal rights would be a catch for the hunting trip to Africa, those persons might lose their friends and the voters of those people might leave.

When the leaders of the social media companies are telling about their privacy policies, and that they don't share their information with the other service providers or marketing services, we always forget one thing. There might be long chains of the companies between the real owner and social media service, and that means that the real owner of the social media company can own many other services.

And the things, what would those companies get from the Internet are giving them to make a psychological profile of that person. If we are thinking about the ability to connect data, what is collected from some different social media applications, we would see, how the public opinion differs from the private discussions. 

But if we would connect data from the social media and as an example the bookstore, we can find many things about the targeted person opinions, attitudes, and orientations. One thing is that the data, what would be collected can uncover many things. There are some little mistakes, what uncover if the person might be different, what claims to be.

One is that if the person, who claims to be a woman, often buys underpants, what is meant for men. Of course, that person can buy them to husband, or the man buys often pantyhoses tampons and make-ups, would that tell something about the user of the account.

Or what would some animal right protester do with the ammunition of Safari-rifle? Those things are really interesting things when people are connecting the data between social media and other sources. And those things might be very awkward for some people. That thing can destroy those persons immediately.

When somebody gets nervous the thing has an effect

When somebody gets nervous the thing has an effect

The leader of OPEC (Organization of the Petrochemical Exporting Countries) has been nervous about this environmental activism, and that shows that activism has an influence on that kind of powerful actors. The thing is that the position of the leading actors of producers of the oil and natural gas exporters the leaders of those countries have guaranteed their position in the international field.

If some nation would make those actors angry, it will face the rise of the price of the petrochemical products. And the position of the ruler of those vital natural resources has been caused, that those leaders have been above the judgment of the public media.

The economic power of OPEC is really large, and that power has caused, that the Western world has got the problems to justify the bombardments, what has made the alliance, what is lead by Saudi-Arabia. And there is another very big thing in the natural resource trade. The rise of the military power of Russia has been financing by the Western World by buying the natural gas and oil from Russia.

So this makes very difficult to speak about the problems, what oil and natural gas would cause in the world. Every single kilowatt of energy, what is produced by using another method than buying the oil and natural gas from OPEC is taking money off the pocket of those countries.

But when we are talking another thing about activism, we might face the thing, that it would bring the mind of the people other things than OPEC. The thing is that there are many things, what we have kept something considered self-evident. And when we are thinking about things like cars and other things, they have been symbols for the independent people. If people would not have cars, there would be a big loss of the taxes, what the government collects from people.

But the activism itself has turned the world. In the past keeping silence about the difficult and communal things have been kept as the mark of being adult. And the activism itself has been the thing, what was somehow childish. There have been claiming, that the activism has no influence for the rulers, and people should keep their mouth shut when big boys are talking.

If somebody had a different kind of opinions should go to get some help. But as we see, if somebody would get nervous or attacks against activists, the thing what those people say has got influence. And the purpose of activism is to cause the influence on the people, that they would see the things, what activist wants them to see.

Six clicks separate people from each other.
