Behind the Hidden Business of the Internet

0:00 - 0:04

A social experiment exposed people to the hidden business of the internet.
0:05 - 0:07

This is what they had to say.
0:07 - 0:10

It's concerns me. Definitely.
0:10 - 0:13

There are so many bad things that could happen.
0:13 - 0:22

With all these privacy settings, cookies and safety questions,
0:22 - 0:25

I never thought I would be that transparent.
0:25 - 0:27

Well, I was aware of that.
0:27 - 0:32

Data is being used by various businesses and even sold I guess.
0:32 - 0:36

They analyse the data so that they can sell it.
0:36 - 0:38

And of course you always desire privacy
0:38 - 0:41

and I wish for it on the web as well.
0:41 - 0:45

I think the idea of this glasshouse sums it up pretty well.
0:45 - 0:49

A corporation doesn't care who I am as a person but when it gets to that point
0:49 - 0:53

and they care about everything about me, then yes, it's very concerning.
0:53 - 0:58

That I'm marketed without my consent is something that isn't right and I don't want.
0:58 - 1:01

It's not a good feeling being a product, that's for sure.
1:01 - 1:03

I feel used.
1:03 - 1:07

Like a product. As if I were not an individual, not a human but a product.
1:08 - 1:13

I already use Firefox but now I'm really only using Firefox.
1:13 - 1:17

Take back control.
