The surveillance state is a reality. Someone is watching you. They see you on hidden cameras as you move around the city. They see your emails.
When your child goes to school, someone is watching his or her eye movements, measuring their responses.
I have been writing about this for a while (see here and here), prodded on by my friend Leonie Haimson, who was one of the activist parents who brought down inBloom, the data mining business funded by Bill Gates with $100 million.
We must guard our children’s privacy. Someone wants their data. They want it to enable them to design new products to sell to them and their school.
Don’t let them have your child’s data. Resist.

People are being “sold” (literally) on the idea of constant surveillance. The company ADT is now selling a “security system” that allows the owner to tract the locations of everyone in the household. And, I am sure, that no one could ever hack such a system! Surely not.
So surveillance and security are being equated in people’s minds, preparing the way….
