These are the first steps to warm the public to RFID Chips.
Publicis E-dologic figured out a way to embed user data in IDF bracelets, and thus allow people to “Like” real world objects, places and events spreading the word about it on their facebook accounts.
They implemented these facebook-bracelets at the Coca Cola Village, a watersport, sunbathing, gameplaying amusement park activity-thing for teenagers. When the guests arrive, they are given a bracelet ID which transmits an RFID signal, which they program with their facebook login. They can then “like” activities and places in the real village, and their actions show up on facebook. Teenagers are driven by vanity like everyone else, so there was a photographer present as well, if you wanted to tag yourself in any given image all you had to do was wave your ID bracelet to the photographer.
This will ultimately lead to the public getting permanent chips.
Privacy advocates have protested the VeriChip, warning of potential abuse and denouncing these types of RFID devices as “spychips,” and that use by governments could allow the tracking of citizens, increasing any moves towards a police state. In addition, privacy advocates state that the information contained in this chip could easily be stolen, so that storing anything private in it would be to risk identity theft.
According to Wired News online, and the Associated Press, there have been research articles over the last ten years that found a connection between the chips and possible cancer. When mice and rats were injected with glass-encapsulated RFID transponders, like those made by VeriChip, they “developed malignant, fast-growing, lethal cancers in up to 1% to 10% of cases” at the site at which the microchip was injected or to which it had migrated.
wow , if you wear these you are being tracked like a animal. dont do it, dont be a guinea pig. whoa scary stuff
First of all the creator of this so called site facebook , comon does he even understands what he is doing. Looks like a dumb brad to me.
And comon lets not insult google geniuses Brin,Page, and Schmidt
by comparing google with facebook. Google is not evil. But for sure facebook is , I can here by create an app , which might claim to be doing something, but in the background it can steal personal data.
since facebook apps doesnt run in their own server !
Now this RFID chips , dude this is the scariest thing I have ever seen , my whole life , my personal life , where ever i go , what I buy …dude all can go public. Like a diary which anyone can read. Or otherwise from the data collected , the data miners can steal the information they are seeking.
Dude its like I wont be able to get to try new things, since i had liked something else and thats what I get.
STOP USING FACEBOOK
