Queen Victoria Statue<\/p><\/div>\n

Part of me doesn\u2019t think I have to worry about being targeted by direct advertising based off of my Facebook or Instagram photos because I have a great deal of security settings in place for both. Maybe that\u2019s being naive. My Instagram profile is entirely private and my Facebook photos can only be seen by my friends. The only exception would be my current and past profile pictures, so that\u2019s what I\u2019ll base this post on.<\/p>\n

All of my photos were taken with a phone camera and are either selfies or were taken by a friend. There are no locations added to my photos, but one could use context clues to figure out I had been traveling abroad to the United Kingdom. In one picture, I\u2019m standing beside the Queen Victoria statue located in the Kensington Gardens in London, England. This statue is very close to Kensington Palace and Hyde Park. The other photo, identifiable to one who knows the landscape, was taken in the Scotland Highlands. Both photos are dated to this past summer and indicate I was traveling during that time.<\/p>\n

There IS evidence of big data in my photo with Queen Victoria\u2019s statue. Her statue will actually recite facts about her life if an app is used to activate her. By using a smartphone to scan the code on the sign I\u2019m standing beside, the statue speaks. When a phone that is registered from a certain country and state scans the code, that data is probably collected to tally where the tourists visiting the statue came from. For example, if the majority of the tourists scanning that code have phones registered and bought in America, that information could be utilized by the Kensington Garden retailers to sell merchandise more marketable toward Americans.<\/p>\n

Based on these pictures being public profile pictures on Facebook, I could possibly be targeted by travel agencies in the future. I could also be targeted by other advertisers based on my appearance and general clothing choice. I have long hair and could receive shampoo advertisements. I wear a lot of tan and beige colors and fashion websites could advertise similar clothing to me. I think I\u2019d be most likely to receive advertisements based off of my clothing instead of my location because I didn\u2019t specifically name my whereabouts when posting the pictures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
