Innledning
Greetings to all those present. It's a pleasure to extend my warm welcome to each one of you joining us on this fine morning. I am Jake Blake, currently pursuing my studies in Denmark at Aarhus Business Colleges.
Today, I stand before you to provide insight into the realm of internet privacy. I aim to shed light on the intricacies of surveillance, its role, and its impact on our daily lives.
The notion of privacy, whether in the creation of a Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter account, or during general web searches, might be more delicate than initially perceived.
Have you ever pondered the reasons behind the free access offered by platforms like Facebook, Snapchat, and the rest? Allow me to illustrate with Facebook as an example.
Rather than charging its users, Facebook generates revenue primarily through advertisers. This model is akin to television, where the size of the audience dictates ad pricing.
For instance, during the 2015 Super Bowl, advertisers spent an average of $4.5 million for a mere 30-second advertisement spot.
This approach is economically sound but raises curiosity about why your grandmother receives ads for specialized undergarments while you're targeted with content related to computer games and makeup.
Utdrag
This practice raises the question: Should we allow such an extensive storage of information about us? The US possesses cutting-edge surveillance technology, coupled with the capacity to manage it.
Movies like "Snowden," based on true events, detail how Edward Snowden exposed the alarming activities of the American government.
Snowden, a whistleblower, sacrificed his personal achievements and aspirations to shed light on these issues. His actions highlight the responsibility of a vigilant public.
