00:02:41a It was April
00:02:442021, when the weight finally
00:02:48ended, the latest version
00:02:50of the iOS operating system was released
00:02:54so that Apple product users could upgrade their
00:02:58devices. The release of
00:03:02this version, as always, hit the headlines in the
00:03:06field of
00:03:07of technology, but there was another issue too, a strange
00:03:11story added to the significance of this
00:03:14unveiling, story which had begone
00:03:18a while ago. At Apple,
00:03:22we believe privacy is a fundamental human right. So now in
00:03:26the mail app, we're introducing male privacy protection.
00:03:31Here's what it does: it hides your IP address so senders
00:03:35can't link it to your other online activity or determine your
00:03:38location and it
00:03:40in prevents senders from seeing if and when you've opened
00:03:43of their email. Safari leads the industry in protecting you against
00:03:47cross-sight tracking with intelligent tracking prevention. And this year we're making
00:03:50it even stronger by also
00:03:52of hiding your IP address from trackers. In late
00:03:552020 Facebook published a text in
00:03:59famous. american newspapers to object to
00:04:02Apple. In that text, Apple was accused of
00:04:06creating a monopoly in the technology market
00:04:10in and acting against businesses. In one corner,
00:04:13CEO. Tim. In the other, the
00:04:17Facebook CEO, Mark
00:04:20Zuckerberg. It seemed the fight
00:04:23between Facebook and Apple had become
00:04:26public, a fight which had started with the
00:04:30display of Facebook's and its other platforms
00:04:33iE instagram's name. At the
00:04:37unveiling ceremony
00:04:38of the 12th version of IOS, these
00:04:42two social networks were introduced as examples of
00:04:46destructive apps for users, time and
00:04:49information. Apple had since announced that the
00:04:53new versions of IOS included a new
00:04:57privacy policy, a policy according. into which
00:05:01all applications installed on Apple devices
00:05:05had to obtain permission from users to monitor
00:05:09information and behavioral patterns and to s the
00:05:12felix,
00:05:21name felix, date of birth, november 5th,
00:05:231986.
00:05:59When the new version of this operating system was
00:06:03introduced in April 2021,
00:06:06everybody realized the privacy policies were fully
00:06:10implemented in it. This wasn't good news for
00:06:14Facebook, the administrators of this social
00:06:18network predicted that users of Apple
00:06:21devices would prevent Facebook from accessing their
00:06:25data and it would cut their revenue
00:06:27significantly.
00:06:38For years, applications and social
00:06:41networks... like Facebook have been making money by
00:06:45selling their user's behavioral data. the biggest
00:06:49customers of this data are advertising
00:06:52companies. this data allows
00:06:56ads to appear for each user a
00:06:59targeted manner according to their
00:07:01interests. numerous
00:07:05ads that attack the users when they open a
00:07:08page.
00:07:14While criticizing social networks, Tim
00:07:18Cook, Apple's current CEO said the same
00:07:21things about user privacy that the company's previous
00:07:25CEO Steve Jobs believed in, it
00:07:29deserves reform. At its foundation, ATT
00:07:33is about returning control to users, about giving them
00:07:36a say over how their data is
00:07:39handled. Privacy means
00:07:43people know what they're signing up for in
00:07:46plain English, and some people want to share more data than other people
00:07:50do, ask them, ask them every
00:07:53time. criticisms about the
00:07:57insecurity of social networks were proven a
00:08:00little later with the Facebook scandal.
00:08:04Facebook was accused of selling the data of
00:08:0787 million users to Cambridge
00:08:10Analytica in 2009.
00:08:1216 information for public opinion
00:08:15engineering. In fact, this data was first
00:08:19filtered and then used to help Donald Trump's campaign
00:08:23win. The news brought Mark Zuckerberg to
00:08:26court. We didn't take a broad enough view of our
00:08:30responsibility, and that was a big mistake,
00:08:33and it was my mistake,
00:08:35and I'm sorry. Although the fact that Facebook was sentenced
00:08:39to pay fine of $5 billion dars proof. what
00:08:43Apple CEO said, it wasn't a convincing
00:08:46answer for those 87 million people.
00:08:50Of course, Apple's full support for user
00:08:54privacy is only one side the story. The text that
00:08:58Facebook published to object Apple could tell its audience
00:09:01other things too. The fight
00:09:05between the two technology giants was not just over
00:09:09privacy, it was over money.
00:09:13Tim Cook had managed to prevent millions of dollars of
00:09:17profit from flowing into the pockets of his rival
00:09:21Mark Zuckerberg a clever way. Apple could
00:09:25count on selling its devices to make money, but in
00:09:29the absence of Facebook users data, it would face
00:09:33huge losses. Whatever it
00:09:36was, this technology fight raised an important
00:09:40question: a question about " online
00:09:43advertising and user data: when did
00:09:47this type of monetization become popular in the internet
00:09:51world?
00:09:56when the internet became a widespread phenomenon in the
00:09:5990s, nobody was supposed to think about making
00:10:03money with it. the internet's main purpose would both make
00:10:07people's lives easier and advanced
00:10:10knowledge. Larry Page and Sergey
00:10:14Briin who laid the foundation of Google in those years
00:10:18had the same goal. They were worried about the
00:10:21destructive power of advertising. They
00:10:25considered advertising deviation from their search
00:10:28engine. They said advertising would harm
00:10:32Google users. Mark Zuckerberg and his
00:10:36friends, who founded the social network of
00:10:40Facebook
00:10:40in 2004, hated
00:10:43advertising too. Zuckerberg
00:10:47even rejected Sprite's 1 million dollar
00:10:49offer. He didn't agree to receive this significant
00:10:53amount to turn. Facebook's homepage green for one
00:10:57day, lasted only few
00:11:00years. a while later, intense
00:11:03competition in the capitalist economy changed the
00:11:07idealism of Google and Facebook CEOs,
00:11:10monetization using each user was similar to what
00:11:14a trance journalists had done two centuries
00:11:17ago. in
00:11:201833, not many newspapers
00:11:24were... published in New York because their high prices and
00:11:28people's low incomes prevented them from being
00:11:31sold, but that wasn't all. A while
00:11:35later, newspaper came on the market that
00:11:38revolutionized the world of journalism,
00:11:41newspaper called the New York Son. This
00:11:45newspaper's managing editor Benjamin Day
00:11:49published strange, intriguing and of course fake
00:11:52stories. Once he wrote the... are forests,
00:11:56unicorns and winged people on the moon. In the
00:12:00middle these fake stories, he advertised local
00:12:04businesses without receiving a single cent. A
00:12:08while later, as the newspaper sales increased,
00:12:12more business owners went to his office. They liked the
00:12:15idea of advertising their businesses in the newspaper.
00:12:19Benjamin Day accepted their offer, but he no longer did
00:12:23it for free. "the
00:12:26advertising revenue allowed Day to keep the newspapers
00:12:30cost down and to bankrupt his competitors. It
00:12:34appeared that he sold the newspapers pages to
00:12:38others, but the truth was different. They
00:12:41received less money from the newspapers audience, but
00:12:45in return he captured their attention. He was the
00:12:49first attention merchant in history, business that soon
00:12:53took on even strange..."
00:12:55dimensions. A
00:12:59few years later, what Benjamin Day had done
00:13:02inspired people like Claud
00:13:04Hopkins, religious, missionary
00:13:08and poor young man who decided to make living by writing
00:13:12ads. His method
00:13:16for creating an attractive ad was the same as that of
00:13:20promoting Christianity. He described everything he was
00:13:24going to advertise. as if it was the only way to humans
00:13:27bliss, his talent for that
00:13:31soon made him famous, fame which showed at
00:13:35least one thing, apparently something new had
00:13:39replaced religion, something which could be seen on magazine
00:13:43posters, a phenomenon which first flanted its
00:13:47impact a large scale on March 31st,
00:13:511929.
00:14:00That day a large crowd had taken to New York's
00:14:04streets for Easter. Everything seemed
00:14:08normal until young woman entered the crowd
00:14:12and lit a cigarette. Little by little other
00:14:16women gathered around her and lit cigarettes. The next
00:14:20day, pictures and news of this and the reporters
00:14:23know such event. was going to happen? it
00:14:27seemed a little suspicious.
00:14:31the newspaper headlines compared cigarettes to
00:14:35torches, torches of freedom.
00:14:38newspapers wrote, this spontaneous act has been
00:14:42carried out by feminists who want freedom, those who
00:14:46want to make women's smoking the norm, but it wasn't
00:14:49true. it was all done by a mysterious man, a
00:14:53man named. bord Berney
00:14:57Bernais had come up with a strange idea to sell
00:15:01cigarettes for the American Tobacco company. He knew
00:15:05women who made up half the population didn't buy
00:15:08cigarettes due to social convention so he had to do
00:15:12something which made them smoke without the fear of being judged by
00:15:16others. Women's smoking had to look like an
00:15:19achievement for civil liberty. Bernez
00:15:23had planned the march. 30th show like a
00:15:26director that day he even coordinated with
00:15:30reporters and told them where to stand at the appointed
00:15:33time, he himself suggested the headline:
00:15:37torches of freedom to newspapers. Very soon
00:15:40after this show, there was a surge in cigarette
00:15:44purchases by women. With this, Bernes proved he
00:15:48was not only adept at advertising, but also at something
00:15:52else, a phenomenon called public opinion
00:15:55engineering.
00:16:04Bernes was Sigmund Freud's nephew. and use
00:16:08this famous psychologist's ideas.
00:16:12Freud believed humans thoughts and actions stem from their
00:16:16unconscious and unconscious full of needs and
00:16:19instincts. To have a greater
00:16:23impact, Berney's too played on these needs
00:16:27and instincts. Most the ads he conceived
00:16:31were based on the audience's unconscious, not on
00:16:34logic and reason. didn't have
00:16:38much respect for people's decisions, he
00:16:42believed they had to be managed by others, he believed
00:16:46one the main characteristics of democratic
00:16:49society was the manipulation of public opinion. he
00:16:53said those who engineered public opinion were
00:16:57successful, those for whom he had chosen the title
00:17:00the invisible government and considered himself
00:17:04member of it. With his
00:17:08ideas, Berneis made people do what those in power
00:17:12wanted, buy what they wanted, consume more
00:17:16and follow them. His ideas
00:17:19were widely used in Nazi Germany and the Soviet
00:17:23Union without him wanting such a thing. In
00:17:27addition, Berneis had good relates just one of his
00:17:31political influences. A little
00:17:34later, he also helped to stage. in Guatemala and
00:17:38overthrow the democratic government there, but all
00:17:42these couldn't hold a candle to his influence on the cold
00:17:46war. Bernet's advice to Eisenhower helped the
00:17:49government to instill fear of communism among people
00:17:53a fear that guaranteed the
00:17:56Republicans survival. Bernet's ideas soon
00:18:00spread to television to a watch
00:18:04company add in early July 1941.
00:18:08was the beginning the television advertising
00:18:11industry.
00:18:25Over the following decades, showing ads during
00:18:29broadcasts became popular and a little later
00:18:32celebrities were also attracted to this industry
00:18:36and industry. which due to their fame penetrated
00:18:40into every person's house, industry
00:18:44which by the end the 20th century had
00:18:48created new ideas to attract the audience's
00:18:51attention. in fact, this lucrative
00:18:54industry hasn't left anywhere at free for
00:18:57humans, not even the losh green lands of king
00:19:01county,
00:19:02washington.
00:19:05recently, advertising. companies have brought the rights to
00:19:09name trees, park trails and benches.
00:19:13This strange purchase is in fact an
00:19:17investment attention, the attention of 5
00:19:20million visitors who come to King County every
00:19:24year. This type of advertising influence is
00:19:28just a small example the situation we are
00:19:31facing. Not just streets, highways and roads
00:19:35are a hot bed of advertising. The last
00:19:39remaining arenas have also been attacked by
00:19:42ads. In the US, the
00:19:45number of schools that become advertising venues is
00:19:49increasing day by day. A high school
00:19:53in South Bend, Indiana is one such
00:19:56example. School principles have given
00:20:00away the rights to name football fields, baseball
00:20:04fields, softball fields and tennis courts. to several
00:20:08economic enterprises. In some other
00:20:11schools, advertising in gyms, on
00:20:14report cards and parental consent forms
00:20:18has become the norm. In Minnesota and
00:20:22California, students lockers are sometimes full of
00:20:25ads and school hallways have become like advertising
00:20:29corridors.
00:20:34But ads have not just taken over. schools
00:20:37once Claude Hopkins used
00:20:41religious methods in advertising, but
00:20:45now churches themselves are directly used for
00:20:48advertising. Which advertising
00:20:51consultant won't be tempted at the site of a large
00:20:55congregation a church? All these
00:20:59cases show the attention business has expanded
00:21:02greatly. A business whose
00:21:06path isn't clear. Are
00:21:10there going to be on
00:21:12the things that advertising companies have
00:21:14designed. In fact, in order
00:21:18to grab our attention. They compete both with each
00:21:22other and with
00:21:23us.
00:21:34Ads which are seen in the witing rooms of doctors,
00:21:37offices or hospitals. Advertising
00:21:41companies have captured people's eyes and ears
00:21:45wherever they can. Elevators,
00:21:48offices, public. transportation and of
00:21:52course terminals and airports in the screen
00:21:55in front them for several
00:21:57hours. Of course, these
00:22:01companies don't pay any money to use our
00:22:04eyes, ears and senses. What they
00:22:08do is similar to what thieves
00:22:11do. They steal our
00:22:14attention and pocket
00:22:15money. The thing is the...
00:22:20difference between choice and compulsion: watching ads
00:22:24voluntarily is different from forced and repeated
00:22:27exposure to them.
00:22:31neuroscientists believe our brains are activated
00:22:34involuntarily by sound and movement,
00:22:38so advertising companies engage us in something we are
00:22:42defenseless against.
00:22:46they engage us without asking for our permission. in fact,
00:22:50their huge revenues are made possible by force
00:22:53viewers and listeners. It not
00:22:57only wastes our time and invades our
00:23:00privacy, but has other destructive effects
00:23:04too. Perhaps the most important effect
00:23:08of attention theft is on the audience's psychee,
00:23:11maddening, repeated and useless ads do
00:23:15nothing but disrupt the flow of our lives. They
00:23:19distract us. confuse our thoughts and take away
00:23:23our peace and
00:23:24quiet.
00:23:37Silicon Valley, located 44 miles southeast of
00:23:41San Francisco, is no longer an ordinary geographic
00:23:45area. These lands home to the
00:23:49world. most famous technology companies look more
00:23:53like a farm of data about everyone on earth, a farm
00:23:57whose crop is our information, interests and
00:24:00smallest daily activities. data
00:24:04which becomes richer, more accurate and more
00:24:08valuable with every search, every click and
00:24:12every page which is opened. users
00:24:16each connection to the internet is better mechanism for.
00:24:21In the internet world, every user's connection means
00:24:25more visits, more visibility, more
00:24:28influence and more ads, an
00:24:31opportunity to integrate and sell
00:24:34information. The
00:24:38bulk of Google's $180 billion annual
00:24:41revenue now comes from
00:24:43ads.
00:24:48So does the bulk of? Facebook's $85 billion
00:24:52revenue. Together, the two companies own
00:24:56more than 60% of all internet
00:24:58ads.
00:25:08What Benjamin Day did in his newspaper was to provide
00:25:12cheap content in exchange for receiving attention,
00:25:16but modern advertisers are no longer satisfied with that.
00:25:21Isn't it strange that Google,
00:25:24Facebook, YouTube and similar companies don't charge their
00:25:28users anything. Their services,
00:25:32unlike Benjamin Day's newspaper, are not even
00:25:35cheap, they are totally free, free
00:25:39email services, free messaging apps, free
00:25:43social networks. There is
00:25:47an old saying that goes, "if you're not..." paying for an
00:25:50online service, then you're the
00:25:53cost.
00:25:57everything we watch, read and like is
00:26:01turned into valuable. and profitable data for
00:26:04companies,
00:26:08once only newspapers, radio and
00:26:12television kept us awake longer, but now our
00:26:16smartphones are performing this
00:26:18duty,
00:26:22a dark and deep well of selfies, fake news
00:26:26and useless
00:26:26ads,
00:26:31ads that Above all Rob us the opportunity
00:26:35to look, listen and enjoy life and takes
00:26:39away our individual
00:26:40freedom,
00:26:44a freedom which may require more careful time
00:26:48management to
00:26:49regain,
00:26:52new approach to purposeful use the
