À quel point l’âge, le revenu, le genre ou la religion influencent les chances de voter pour un parti? Nous avons puisé dans les réponses de 387 671 utilisateurs de la Boussole électorale pour le déterminer.
Farid Mheir's insight:
WHY IT MATTERS: the power of big data is all here in this test. Enter your age, gender and 7 other facts about you and they will determine with high confidence what party you will vote for in the upcoming Canadian election. What's the trick? The data from an online survey of 300,000 Canadians. So now imagine the kind of targetting Apple, Google, Facebook, Amazon can do and you'll realize why they are so valuable and dangerous. Amazing!

Yes, we use data to make products more helpful for everyone. But we also protect your information.
Farid Mheir's insight:
WHY IT MATTERS: the future of privacy will be determined by Facebook, Google, Apple, Amazon, Baidu, etc. This article and others from the NYT dossier on privacy are must read to understand what privacy will mean in the future. Certainly not the "anonymity" that you have been told since childhood...

Information Commissioner Elizabeth Denham has today (11 July) published a detailed update of her office’s investigation into the use of data analytics in political campaigns.
Farid Mheir's insight:
WHY IT MATTERS: read this very detailed report that explains how political parties have used the Facebook data to create personalized messages and influence the election that led to the Brexit. Fascinating. Also read my posts on the data you leave behind - the data exhaust - that enables the creation of your digital twin: http://fmcs.digital/blog/digital-twinÂ

Farid Mheir's insight:
WHY IT MATTERS: data that you post on Facebook or elsewhere is aggregated by political parties and retailers and governments and others to create a virtual profile of yourself - what I call the digital twin. See my post here for more on the digital twin:Â http://fmcs.digital/blog/digital-twin/Â

We live in a data-driven world. Almost every transaction and interaction you have with most organisations involves you sharing personal data, such as your name, address and birth date. You share data online too, every time you visit a website, search for or buy something, use social media or send an email.
Farid Mheir's insight:
WHY IT MATTERS: ICO is the data protection organization in the UK. It provides a guide to your rights regarding data and privacy. Very useful and well done.

"When you have rising monetization, rising growth and rising data collection, it drives a lot of regulatory scrutiny whether it’s related to data privacy, competition or safety in content."

WHY IT MATTERS: this is the annual presentation to level-set everyone on the Internet, mobile, ecommerce, cybersecurity, epayment, personalization, etc. She covers everything and shows that digital transformation is in full swing. Just WOW. Again.

If you collect email information at the point of sale for your loyalty program, you can import store transactions directly into AdWords yourself or through a third-party data partner. And even if your business doesn’t have a large loyalty program, you can still measure store sales by taking advantage of Google’s third-party partnerships, which capture approximately 70% of credit and debit card transactions in the United States. There is no time-consuming setup or costly integrations required on your end. You also don’t need to share any customer information. After you opt in, we can automatically report on your store sales in AdWords.
Farid Mheir's insight:
WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT So many people tell me that they are not on Facebook because they want to keep their privacy. This is another proof that privacy does not exist anymore and that there is no line between online and real-world. Please all be aware and try to put into practice the tips I share during my talks on me.com and the management of your digital twin. for more, read these:

The short version: I'm loading over 1 billion breached accounts into HIBP. These are from 2 different "combo lists", collections of email addresses and passwords from all sorts of different locations. I've verified their accuracy (including my own record in one of them) and many hundreds of millions of the
Farid Mheir's insight:
WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT Pretty much your whole life is online and digitize today. Your only protection from crooks is strong passwords that you never reuse. This article provides in depth discussion on the millions of passwords that are being sold for few dollars on the dark web. It should help you understand why this is important and what to do to be more secure.

100 million rides and runs, 220 billion data points visualizing the best roads and trails worldwide.
Farid Mheir's insight:
WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT Big brother is watching and when it does you can gain tremendous insights into the behaviour of humans. I zoomed in on Montreal and the diagram is very clear about which run trails are most popular on the Mount Royal. On the dark side, of course, this means Strava performs some high level surveillance on us as we share our bike and run rides with their software.

Just follow the link to the 2012 report and find out what it means to cross reference different digital databases.
WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT Our lives are digital and we leave digital exhaust behind us everywhere we go. This paper shows what the US government uses to put together a composite picture of your digital twin. For now, they plan to use this for border crossing but in the future - 10 or 20 years down the road - what will this info be used for? Also, knowing that military and very advanced technology always makes it into the corporate world, how will this be used by corporations?

Here's how to find out what Google knows about you and is sharing with advertisers, and how to get Google to stop.
Farid Mheir's insight:
This is a very good run down of what you'll find out when you go to google history or google dashboard to find out what Google knows about you. https://www.google.com/settings/dashboard
That being said, and as i've noted before, this is not everything they know about you: Google infers a lot from your web activity outside the realm of google properties via the ad beacons they place all over the web. Moreover, Google predicts and creates a user profile of you - and this information they do not share with you!

An overview of the impact of the end of year festivities on health: sleep, weight and physical activity
Farid Mheir's insight:
No surprise in the data: people go to bed late on xmas and new year and wake up later the next morning. But the difference in each country seems to demonstrate that Americans don't party a lot and that French party more than many others. Here again, no surprise... ;-)

Life quantification pioneer Nicholas Felton's latest annual report is his most ambitious to date. For the last nine years, Nicholas Felton--who you may know best for inspiring the Facebook timeline or creating the life-logging app Reporter--has been recording some aspect of almost every moment of his life. And each year, he turns this data into a elegant, printed book that visualizes the year called The Feltron Report... Via Lauren Moss
Farid Mheir's insight:
The Felton report is a beautiful peeping hole into someone's life when they start to quantify themselves. Focussed on fairly benign problem space - conversations during the year - it shows what possibilities, both good and bad, lie within the quantified-self movement which is bound to explode with the availability of Apple watch and others alike. Of course it brings tremendous opportunities for monitoring someone's life in order to improve it. Whether it is by measuring exercice (as we do today with step trackers) or heart rate or glucose levels in order to improve health or medical diagnosis. In the context of business, organizations can monitor employees in order to minimize injuries or prevent illness and time loss due to sickness. There is of course the dark side, where all this data, when made available without our consent or knowledge, can be used to track us and restrict our privacy or our rights. This is already happening in the contexte of government surveillance (ie. Edward Snowden http://sco.lt/5k4B29) or internet browsing tracking (ie. data brokers http://sco.lt/79yNZh)

WHY IT MATTERS:Â a very interesting visualization of the data captured by the main platforms. Usually I am not a big fan of infographics but this one is different as it conveys true information. The article has a. longer form version of this.
