Talk about a scam! When will these governments be gone already? :/

Wow that's some serious shit!
Is there anyway that you could get some more info? 
Info like who is the company? if you can disclose such info
a copy of the "tracking pixel" so it could be analyzed by more people and see who else could be behind this.
Unfortunately I have heard of similar things happening in some countries in Latin America.

I'm pretty sure people agree to this shit everyday.

Great post. Thank you for the info.

I followed you.

sometines the gabbage is to long to pay attention to. and basically all company ask you for same thing, which most times we dont have any option . cos thier rules and regulation are already laid out.,so your optoins is always (  agree )

Yup. And thank you for posting  You and others are at least doing what they can to expose the issue. Here's a trailer, described as "A documentary about what you're really agreeing to when you click "I accept"."

Freaking scarey what is considered "legal" and even more so "ethical" in the information era.   Collective groups seem to lose all sense of conscious.

Wow, that's nuts. Thanks for sounding the alarm.

or you can read the recent book by Glenn Greenwald @ancientofdays

When will they have access to my Social Security Number too?!

One innocent click and your cyber-soul is sold!

> If anyone had read the T&C’s they would have seen the clause wherein you accept and agree to allowing them to install a tracking pixel on your phone, which just by the way can’t even be removed if you format the device.

This is FUD. A tracking pixel is just an include link from a third party server of an image so small that you don't see it, and that is named in a way that is unique for each visitor.

Tracking pixels are not "installed" but simply downloaded to your browsing cache like any other image. They do nothing but signal the third party server about visits of the same visitor on every page that implements the tracking pixel. Being plain normal web data, they are trivially removed by a browser cache clean, and obviously a formatting will get rid of them like it will get rid of everything else.

I was travelling through Europe for a few months without cell phone service. I remember being in Venice with no service at all, yet Google Maps still had a blue dot that knew exactly where I was.

They already know's ALL about most of people , what you eat , when you taking dump , where you have been , who's your family , every single thing about you .So , do we go with that flow or do we need to go of the grid ?  Now is the time of total control , cctv everywhere no one can hide .

What country you talking about??

Yes it is good post. Not yet know that Edward Snowden would be there.

>a tracking pixel on your phone, which just by the way can’t even be removed if you format the device.

Since you can't download hardware across the internet, reformatting a device will certainly get rid of software which "install a tracking pixel on your phone". 

The pixel, which is just a dot on your screen, is most likely a clear pixel image, which isn't installed on your phone, but rather sends a request to a server for the image each time you use your phone. Nobody downloads the pixel either. You download and agree to use their software. Software which can be removed. 

My company uses tracking pixels every day. This is nothing new. 

Scare tactics should not be upvoted on Steemit.

Edward Snowden was an allowed leak to implement the **Hawthorne Effect** globally. In short, when people think they are being watched they change their behavior, this is also talked about as a **Panopticon** effect. If the powers that shouldn't be really wanted him dead, they wouldn't be making Hollywood films about him, while Snowden is tweeting from a verified account. The entire deification of Snowden needs to stop because he told us **NOTHING** that the likes of **William Binney** and countless others hadn't **ALREADY** told us. The fact the media gives him so much attention should have tipped you off by now. Snowden is 100% cointelpro, and was 100% an allowed leak. His "revelations" did nothing but make the public scared that they were being watched by the government. You need a new hero.

thats just astonishing - jaw dropping - talk about Big Brother Watching you and all done with your consent....

LOL a tracking pixel. Every single website you've ever been to has tracking pixels. Please do some research before you start throwing around absolute garbage on Steemit.
