In fact, technological giants know about you almost everything. And whenever they want, they can sell this information forwards or abuse your data for your own damage.

All the major technological projects, from Google, Twitter, and Facebook to all the major operating systems, have been designed from the outset for the purpose of controlling people, and not primarily as commercial projects.

The public story looks like this: tens of billions US dollars, which initially emerged in these projects and covered billions of losses in first few years, are usually based on commercial opportunities and key drivers of development were geeks in jeans and T-shirts and not gigantic investment funds that have provided an initial investment and also maintained the "market" of these companies' securities for years.

It's no coincidence that both Chinese and Russians have their own variants of both Google and Facebook, Amazon, ... (and the whole separate structure of the Internet ready) and that their state-run operative works on adapted variants of Linux and their own hardware communication equipment.

Not only do they control you through search engines and social networks, even all commercial operating systems have built-in back-doors. Not only software, but also hardware, in particular communication, and as in 2014 showed Kaspersky software analysis (analysis of manufactured disk drives), the back-door is already installed in the firmware of all the disks on the market. If you accidentally played "privacy". Non-commercial solutions, for example, Open SSl is literally infected with technological errors. And only a little carelessness is needed ...

To ensure privacy? It is very difficult and you got to be real geek. Security is like a chain, its strength depends on the weakest part or element. It means that you must fully control all software, hardware, and have properly designed, implemented, and controlled usage policies. For the average user, this is practically impossible.

One of the key protagonists of this development, Scott Mc Neally, Sun's owner, answered about the privacy issue about two decades ago:

"You have no privacy, get over it!"
