There are two companies in the world that know more about you than perhaps you know about yourself. Both of which are, of course, Facebook and Google/Alphabet. In this podcast we focus specifically on Facebook Inc and how to stop its list of services (namely Facebook, Instagram and Messenger) from harvesting your public and private data and behaviours and selling it on to advertisers. Data collected from what we do online is used against us. There are no benefits to us, the Facebook Inc user, in the surveillance and data harvesting exchange. The phrase, ‘If the service is free, then you are the product’ is often used to explain why Facebook’s services don’t come with a financial cost but author Shoshana Zuboff explains in her book, Surveillance Capitalism, ‘You are not the product; you are the abandoned carcass.’ In this podcast you’ll learn how to stop Facebook Inc from tracking your every move both on its own platforms and across the web. You’ll learn how to turn off advertising tracking, location tracking, face recognition and more.
