The information discovered through the videos almost reminds me of some of the issues that we are currently facing in relation to the age of AI that we live in. Privacy is at the forefront of many issues today. Everyone is starting to realize that we don't have the privacy that we originally assumed we had when it came to looking on social media and looking online. The thing about that is, we are doing it to ourselves. We most of the time dont know what we are allowing these big brands to have access to by clicking that button to move a pop up off the screen.
The fact of the matter is these companies aren't the only ones taking our privacy and running with it but the third party companies associated are too. The government needs to have more cybersecurity infrastructure in place for this exact situation. For years that has been a talking point across the state of technology upgrading and becoming more advanced. I think we are beginning to see that become a priority by the blocking of tiktok. I think the issue shouldn't have had to come from the US being scared of another country seeing our privacy and gathering our information when the real enemy is most of the time in our own country. To protect ourselves we need to look at what we share and what we give permissions to. We also need to go back to elementary school computer safety courses for people of this generation. Before we click on sites and ads, we need to ensure that they are safe and overall just know what we are clicking on before we click. Its all about safety right now and monitoring what we do for our own accord because no one else is really trying to help us when it comes to upholding and advancing the privacy that is necessary online.
