Did you say the word "Wasted" on FedBook? Not only will that ding your Credit Score, you'll also now pay more for Auto Insurance! And soon enough, Obamacare Health Insurance, and just about everything else. They might just as well troll FedBook and flat out tell you what they are doing is determining your Obedience Score, just like the wonderfully free world of China.An anonymous reader writes:
Major UK insurer Admiral has announced that it will use data garnered from Facebook profiles to help set insurance premiums for first-time drivers. The company intends to examine Facebook data including likes and posts for safe driver indicators: writing in short, concrete sentences and making concrete plans with friends using specific times and dates, rather than just 'tonight', for example, can show that a person is conscientious and well-organized, as can the use of lists. These traits are associated with safer drivers, who are less likely to file a claim with the company. Yossi Borenstein, the principal data scientist for the project, noted that the indicators of safe drivers are constantly evolving. "Our algorithm for calculating what 'safe' looks like is constantly learning, as we match social data to actual claims data." The program has already caused a storm of controversy, with some privacy rights activist groups noting that the program violates Facebook's Platform Policy, Section 3.15, which clearly says,"Don't use data obtained from Facebook to make decisions about eligibility, including whether to approve or reject an application or how much interest to charge on a loan."
Applying for a new job is neither illegal or immoral, but will not only get you fired, but also cause your insurance rates to always go up.
Nothing illegal or immoral about being of jewish herritage either, but look at what the lack of privacy did to millions of German Jews?
So the big question is who are going to be the next jews? The Ron Paul supporters? The Obamacare Dodgers? The people that say "Wasted" on FedBook?
Take what the internet has turned into and feed it to the things that live in the Cabin in the Woods.
