They're watching us right now. We don't think about it when we post online or snap a quick selfie to share on social media, but our actions are being tracked by companies that know more about us than our closest friends. These companies can follow us everywhere we go and see everything we do, all because of the technology we use every day. Let's take, for example, Google Maps. It knows exactly where you live, where you work, where you shop, and even where you go on vacation. And it uses this information to show you ads for things that are near your home or office, like a new restaurant that just opened up down the street from your house. But it's not just Google Maps that's watching us. Social media companies like Facebook and Twitter know everything about us too. They know our interests, our friends, and even what we're thinking when we post something online. And they use this information to show us ads that are tailored to our specific needs. The problem is, these companies don't just stop at showing us ads. They also use our data to manipulate us into buying things we don't need or voting for politicians who will do their bidding. It's a clever trick, but it's not exactly what you'd call honest. So the next time you post something online or snap a quick selfie, remember that there are people watching you. And they're using all of your data to control your behavior and sell you things you don't need.
