Thread: UK Auto Insurer Will Use Facebook Data To Set Premium

    UK Auto Insurer Considered Using Facebook Data To Set Premium

    https://yro.slashdot.org/story/16/11...to-set-premium

    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."
    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.

    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.

    NOTE: Edited title due to the plan having been shot down, as pointed out in later posts in this thread.

    The FAILURE of the United States Government to operate and maintain an
    Honest Money System , which frees the ordinary man from the clutches of the money manipulators, is the single largest contributing factor to the World's current Economic Crisis.

    The Elimination of Privacy is the Architecture of Genocide

    Belief, Money, and Violence are the three ways all people are controlled

    You're about 3 days late. They scrapped the plan after Facebook nixed it.

    No worries, Im sure that this very concept will continue to rear its ugly head again and again and again, in various different forms until eventually it sticks.

    Damn it, I wish they hadn't nixed the plan cos I am a complete angel on facebook and yet speed all the time(about 10 miles above speed limits). Maybe that too is angelic cos I almost never the fastest guy on the roads.

    Damn all you people who whined. This would have saved me a pant load on insurance

    I wonder what they would have done if the person they were checking up on, didn't have a Fedbook account.

    Then obviously they would check their myspace account.

    Does anyone now believe that information harvested by all these data mining companies will not be used to control every aspect of your life?

    Mention COVID Vaccines on Facebook and get BANNED. Doesnt stop there. Big dings in your NOW ACTIVE SOCIAL CREDIT SCORES. Thus, you tell the truth, and your loans are denied. Applications are denied. Public transport is denied. College denied. Jobs denied. Access to YOUR OWN $#@!ING MONEY DENIED (Canada). Buy FOOD DENIED. They WANT permission to LEAVE YOUR HOUSE (which is what COVID lockdowns were all about) to DENY that too! Or even BREATHE!

    YOU ARE THE CARBON THEY WANT TO ELIMINATE.
