Free Services Are A Sort Of Honey Pot For Online Services.
Free services are a form of honey pot for net services. They attract users and, just as importantly, their personal data, which in turn permits corporations like Google and Facebook to sell advertising.
Lots of users, when they even consider the exchange, treat the advertising as a minor inconvenience. They may point to TV and note that our television broadcasting system was built on advertising, so why don't you use advertising to back cloud-based data services?
The difficulty is that information is not television. Television was crucial but advertisers had small effect on anything other than probably dumbing down the content of the shows themselves. However , the integrity of personal and commercial information is crucial to the functioning of the modern economy and the need for advertising has a range of toxic effects on the data services provided to consumers.
In my Price of Lost Privacy series, I highlighted the indirect effect of companies like Google using that private data and behavior selling to permit advertisers like subprime lenders to live on exposed populations and increase economic inequality. But advertising has a less convoluted effect that makes most online data services less functional for all users and potentially toxic in their broader effects on data integrity and the infrastructure of the web itself.
Deliberate Lack of Security in Information Services : The necessity to collect user information in order to share it with advertisers means that online companies deliberately avoid encryption and other measures that would better protect user data. After technology researcher Chris Soghoian published a New York Times op-ed noting that most journalists did not recognize the lack of security in online services, Google's top D.C. Privacy lobbyist, William DeVries, wrote on his very own Google+ page that Chris was "dead right. Writers (and blog writers, and small businesses) need to take a couple hours and learn how to use free, widely available safety features to store data and communicate."
The query, as Soghoian indicated on his very own site in a follow-up post, is that Google products are not secure out of the box deliberately "because the company's business model is dependent upon the monetization of user data, the company keeps as much information as practical about the activities of its users. These extensive notes are not just useful to Google's engineers and advertising teams, but are also a mouth-watering target for law enforcement agencies." Vint Cerf, Google's "Chief Internet Evangelist" admitted latterly on a panel that "we could not run our system if everything in it were encrypted because then we would not know which adverts to show you. So this is a system that was designed around a specific business model."
This implies not only repressive regimes can more straightforwardly get access to your information but ID thieves and other black hat hackers can as well . Site after site asks for user names and passwords, many users repeating the same password, so that hacking one unsecure site all of a sudden opens each online account to burglary and vandalism.
Lack of Online Anonymity : Tied into the clamour to sell to advertisers is the inflating refusal of net services to permit incognito users. "On the Net, Nobody Knows You're a Dog" -- once a standard joke about anonymity online -- has give way to a Big Brother-ish requirement for continual identity checks by online sites.
Google's requirement that only "real names" be employed in online Google+ accounts is the latest example of this, with CEO Eric Schmidt admitting lately in an interview the reason is to make it an "identity service" to sell folks things:. As Schmidt explained :
"if we knew it was a genuine person, then we could kind of hold them responsible, we could check them, we could give them things, we could you know bill them, you know we might have mastercards and so forth."
"Apple and Google both seem inquisitive about NFC technology (near-field communication)," writes, Mathew Ingram at the site Gigomon, "which turns portable gadgets into electronic wallets, and having a social network tied to an individual user's identity would come in handy."
This hard-line against anonymity means the perspectives of political dissidents or employee whistleblowers who don't need their names exposed are effectively silenced in such environments, all for the sake of making advertisers happy and facilitating ecommerce by online companies.
Bad Website Design : It isn't as life threatening a problem, but advertising drives web design (in Croatian translate web dizajn) that's revolting, confusing and time-consuming for users. To maximize "page views" that can each hold advertising and generate advertising revenue, articles are parsed into multiple pages. The Columbia Journalism Review describes a corresponding "Faustian bargain" of the expansion of multiple-page "slide shows" to in a similar way generate multiple page impressions to generate ad greenbacks.
This is combined with pages where ads rule more display space, where as the Knight Digitized Media Center explains, ""As news operations scramble for revenue, advertisers have gained leverage to demand more--and more prominent--digital space. The resulting ad-heavy homepages make business sense--but the result is visually 'appalling.'"
Strengthening the "Tawdry" Side of Capitalism : Internet visionary Jaron Lanier, who has been writing about the Internet since before the majority ever heard about its existence, disagrees that such identity-based appeals by corporations gives advertising a crap name. He disagreed in an interview 1 or 2 months ago :
Google's thing is not advertising because it is not a romanticizing operation. It does not involve expression... It's just a little tiny minimalist link, and fundamentally what they're selling is not advertising, they are not selling love, they are not selling communication, what they're doing is selling access..."You give us money, we give you access to these folks, and then what you do with them is up to you."
Lanier observes that corporations using such identity-based access are not customarily from the "dignified side of capitalism" but rather "tend to be a lot of ambulance chasers and snake oil salesmen."
So in pursuit of those low-road advertisers, we see many online data services building internet sites that are less secure, less functional, uglier and enfeeble political liberty in the service of the wants of those advertisers.
An Alternative choice to Advertising : The upward push of paid applications has shown one alternative road where little payments by users inspire companies to design services solely in the interests of users instead of third party advertisers. Even services without delay online regularly employ a "freemium" model that eschews advertising in favor of providing basic free services to any user, while gaining money from a smaller subset of users who like the service enough to pay a subscription to unlock more advanced features.
To urge that alternative of Internet design only In the interests of users, we need policy to better preserve user privacy so that no company can track or share user information without that user's direct opt-in to each use of their data. More transparent transactions around loss of user data to advertisers (and potentially to hackers and ID thieves because of lack of security) will inspire more of those users to select better-designed and safer paid alternatives as reported tagza.com.
