How Google, Facebook and others use our most personal secrets against us | DW Documentary
www.youtube.comIs it possible to use a person's personal Google data to create their doppelganger? To reconstruct their personality, behavior patterns and hidden desires?
A cross-media data experiment makes it possible to experience what kind of insights into our most intimate secrets Google, Facebook, and others already have.
In the film, a former YouTube developer, a Google marketer, an expert for personalized advertising and several data protectionists explore the potentials - and the risks - that lie in algorithmic personality detection and behavior prediction.
The film exposes how tech companies use the collected data of billions of people to turn our weaknesses, insecurities, illnesses and vulnerabilities to addiction into profit.

“and POTENTIALLY tell me to go fuck myself.”
Oooh. Catharsis.
Right? EXACTLY!
As much as I like self-deprecating humor, this isn’t really about self-hate because the model isn’t really me and it definitely isn’t an actual person.
However, it can still help me gain better visibility about myself and the qualities of me that are usually invisible to me from the interior perspective.
A diagnostic tool, and a way to perhaps address more effectively those qualities of myself which make me uncomfortable.
Almost everybody has at least one experience of realizing, with horror “am I really like that…? oh … oh no…” and usually it’s in public. Not fun!
The prospect of facing these discrepancies in privacy feels a lot less daunting.
