Our personal #data gathered illicitly across multiple platforms creates a dangerous convergence where previously isolated information can be linked together; it enables malicious actors to build comprehensive profiles exponentially increasing everyone’s #vulnerability.

Honestly, I remember doing a bunch of really dumb s*** when I was young; it was fun and stupid, and that was kind of the point of it at the time.

Thinking about the 1999 TV spot for NIN’s “The Fragile” (yes there were TV commercials for new albums back then) directed by David Carson, how magnificently artfuck it was, how much I learned from helping Carson make this.
