Fancy tracking that's all part of a long running DARPA program to track everyone

Aricle published: Feb 4 2004

LifeLog was a project of the Information Processing Techniques Office of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) of the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD). According to its bid solicitation pamphlet, it was to be "an ontology-based (sub)system that captures, stores, and makes accessible the flow of one person's experience in and interactions with the world in order to support a broad spectrum of associates/assistants and other system capabilities". The objective of the LifeLog concept was "to be able to trace the 'threads' of an individual's life in terms of events, states, and relationships", and it has the ability to "take in all of a subject's experience, from phone numbers dialed and e-mail messages viewed to every breath taken, step made and place gone".[1

Not just DARPA either. There are trillion-dollar companies whose value effectively stems from hoovering up and analysing data - the better they can identify you, the more valuable the data. Both public and private sectors have put a ton of effort into deanonymising the internet.

even better, because governments will just straight up buy this information, governments can foster a competitive market in which multiple companies compete for the most intrusive product, whereas a government simply spending on this project would likely be stuck with one noncompetitive solution or end up overspending on parallel development of multiple solutions.

How would they fingerprint a browser and tie it to your Twitter account from your phone, on a device you've never logged in on

it says including incognito mode so prob by device info? also twitter links by default have trackers attached to them at least on mobile, so i bet if you send someone a link and they open it whether or not they're logged in it might tie that device to the one that sent the link.

anyways i recall sneedlon saying that twitter is open source so i'm sure there's some type of hint in their codebase. !codecels any input? i'm sure some privacy schizo can mess around with some different device settings and see how it changes content recommendations

Jump in the discussion.

No email address required.

Paraphrasing for non codecels, info might be slightly off but this is the gist of it:

When you click a link and your browser takes you to the other side, the link itself can have info from the place you are coming from to give to the other side of where you are going to. This is evident when you look at the link, each piece of info will follow a ? and it's separated out by a &. So like youtube,com/?vid=12345&time=50s but if for example rdrama had a deal with youtube, they could send the page where the video was linked from. For example this page is post #220258 so the link could be youtube,com?vid=12345&time=50s&rdramapost=220258 Then when you land on the other side of the link, they'll know which video id to show you, where to start the vid, and which rdrama post u came from

That's one way but it's pretty obvious, the other way is letting the web browser hold onto the info. rDrama can allow i.e. twitter to set their own cookies on rDrama,net, and can share some info with twitter as well (for example username). So if this were the case, I'm here now and twitter gets to see what my rdrama username is. When I go onto twitter on the same web browser, they can just check the browser cookie to see what my rdrama username is. This links rdrama username to twitter handle.

Now say I go on another phone and log into only rdrama. Then later I go onto twitter. Since in this example rdrama gives twitter my rdrama username, and twitter had already connected my rdrama username to my twitter handle, without me even logging into twitter, twitter can assume what my twitter handle is.

So to expand even further, consider another website thay lets u log in using a gmail account. If this website shares your info with twitter it's very possible twitter has linked your gmail account to your twitter handle. You can go on a brand new device and log into that other website with your gmail, then go on twitter (without logging into twitter) and twitter will know it is you because they'd have already linked your email address to your handle.

Your IP address may have also been shared, mind you. So that would also link to your twitter.

Fortunately as far as links (from the 1st example) go, Aevann does a good job of stripping them from identifying data. As far as the other examples, although rDrama doesn't have twitter's prying eyes here, many other websites do. So it's very difficult to avoid them tracking you if you've so much as logged in once to twitter.

i am personally a fan of firefox as it does a fantastic job of preventing cookie trackers to the point where some websites ask me to use chrome because firefox does not allow their trackers to operate.

However brave also deserves some name recognition as the devs provide a lot of protection for you as well when it comes to blocking ads, which isn't something that comes bundled with firefox (i use an extension called uBlock Origin for that)

X GONNA GIVE IT TO YA (TRACKING)

Jump in the discussion.

No email address required.

Here's how

By better understanding how different browsers and devices are related, we can use information from one browser or device to help personalize the X experience on another. For example, if you commonly use X for Android around the same time and from the same network where you browse sports websites with embedded posts on a computer, we may infer that your Android device and laptop are related and later suggest sports-related posts and serve sports-related advertising on your Android device. We may also infer other information about your identity to help personalize your X experience. For example, if the email address associated with your account shares components with another email address, such as a shared first name, last name, or initials, we may infer that your account is associated with hashes of other email addresses containing those components and later match advertisements to you from advertisers that were trying to reach email addresses containing those components.

This kind of thing isn't exactly new, but making it transparent to users and asking for permission kinda is.

Remember back before app permissions were a thing and your phone would serve up your entire contact list to any app you downloaded, allowing your BDSM meetup app to suggest adding your boss as a friend? This is like that but presumably with IP address matching and similar, where Xitter can see what Xitter content you're looking at on your smart fridge that isn't signed in to Xitter, or in logged out incognito browsers. They've probably always done this kind of activity correlation, this just makes it possible to control whether it impacts your frontend experience.

Only if your ISP has their backend set up to change your address when you do that. In my own case, my ISP apparently has my modem's MAC/serial number set to always get the same IP address (I am not paying for a static address, this is just how they have it set up). It only changes now when they make changes to their own backend or whatever. I have no idea how common this is.

This also wouldn't do anything if you still have other devices logged in to Xitter on your local network after the reboot. And then there's fingerprinting.

If I may seriouspost for a second, I don't actually think this one was started by Apple, it's probably Google who take the L. Because they were one of the first companies to notice that people are generally reluctant to pay for internet services regardless of their price, but that many are more open to paying for them with their time, attention, or data. This worked with google search and gmail initially and then was expanded for all google products. Then, google created the framework that allowed for other websites to follow their model through creation of adsense and by the virtue of already having ample info on users through processing searches.

Tim Apple and everyone else just followed the money once they saw it working

That is also a huge contributor, as far as the framework for advertisements they absolutely overstepped any and all rational boundaries of privacy. Mobile internet access did very much speed up that process though, getting enough people to have a real dataset.. and I remember when Instagram was gaining popularity I was really confused why. In hindsight it's obvious now but I wasn't thinking about it with cynicism at the time.

Look there are 5 layers of echo chambers some of you are living through.

1st echo chamber - the society you are born in.

2nd echo chamber - the class/ part of that society you are born in

3rd echo chamber - introversion and further limiting your own local environment

4th echo chamber - the internet giving you controlled results to limit the ideas you get in your head

5th echo chamber - choosing a community or specific forum to hang around on the internet and form all your world views from

This is why extroverts who travel around always appear to end up near the top ends of the hierarchy outside of extremely specialized individuals, because they escaped 5 layers of echo chambers to be able to get cleaner data than that with far less bias.
