<h1>We Can Choose an Internet Without Surveillance</h1>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><a href="https://blog.torproject.org/we-can-choose-internet-without-surveillance"><img alt="Take Back the Internet " src="https://blog.torproject.org/sites/default/files/styles/full_width/public/image/take%20back%20the%20internet%20-%20design.png?itok=zlTt6Bp8" style="width: 640px; height: 264px;" /></a></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The surveillance dystopia is building up all around us, and the business model that has taken over the internet is largely to blame. In the surveillance economy, whenever we choose to use an application or a device, we are often forced to subject ourselves to unrestricted abuse of our private data. ISPs and big corporations are not only logging our activities, but often selling that information to third party data analysis and marketing companies like <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/cambridge-analytica-facebook-privacy-awakening/">Cambridge Analytica</a> and Dataminr.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The effects of the surveillance economy are terrifying. Our online activity has been used to influence elections by shaping how politically motivated entities can spread personally targeted misinformation. We have also seen these companies sign contracts with law enforcement and authoritarian governments to use this information to unjustly <a href="https://www.npr.org/transcripts/776173279?storyId=776173279&t=1573660075300?storyId=776173279&t=1573660075300">target activists</a>, minorities, and at-risk communities.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Even if you have not immediately felt or experienced a direct consequence of being surveilled, the idea you may be surveilled can have chilling consequences on your daily life.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>PEN America surveyed over 520 American writers to understand if and how surveillance was influencing their work. <a href="https://pen.org/research-resources/chilling-effects/">1 in 6 writers</a> said they had avoided speaking or writing on a topic they thought would subject them to surveillance.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Just the fear of surveillance can turn us into self-censors. This fear can stop us from exercising intellectual freedom and curiosity. If we think we are being watched, our behavior changes. Our mental state changes as well. According to research conducted by Christopher Burr at the Digital Ethics Lab at the University of Oxford, <a href="https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/pa5d9g/what-constant-surveillance-does-to-your-brain">the effects of surveillance on the brain</a> can “be just as mentally taxing as mental disorders like depression, and can even cause symptoms similar to post-traumatic stress disorder.”</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The spread of surveillance is not inevitable. We can <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2019/10/08/over-30-civil-rights-groups-demand-an-end-to-amazon-rings-police-partnerships/">fight against facial recognition technology</a> and <a href="https://www.eff.org/press/releases/federal-court-rules-suspicionless-searches-travelers-phones-and-laptops">invasive searches</a>, <a href="https://cdt.org/insight/open-letter-facebooks-end-to-end-encryption-plans/">stand up for encryption</a>, and demand privacy by design from service providers.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The internet is not just a network of computers—it’s a network of people. We hold great power in deciding its future. <a href="https://blog.torproject.org/we-can-choose-internet-without-surveillance">Here's how</a> you can help us take back the internet.</p>
