1/12/15 Collusion



The tracking was a major concern for the speaker because many companies were tracking his information without his knowledge or permission. Many of these companies track information to target their product to a more receptive audience. Tracking is good for companies trying to sell their products. By using tracking they can market their product to a more select audience that is more likely to purchase their product. For individuals, tracking can be a bad thing because companies are taking your private information without your consent and you don’t know what they may be doing with that information. As I watched the video I was very surprised by how many connections and dots were made by visiting just a few websites. I don’t visit very many websites, I tend to go to the same few each day such as youtube, tumbler and Netflix but even just visiting these few sites I am sure I create many connections and dots.
