Privacy is freedom — and right now, it’s under attack.
If you’ve ever had the eerie experience of your phone “listening” to you — only to see ads for something you mentioned hours later — you already know how invasive modern surveillance has become.
What most people don’t realize is how deep it really goes.
Your Data Is Their Goldmine
Over 90% of the world’s data has been created in just the last two years — and companies like Google, Meta, and TikTok profit off nearly every click, search, and scroll.
Even though their platforms are “free,” these corporations have built multi-trillion-dollar empires on something more valuable than money: your personal information.
-
72% of Americans say they are “very concerned” about their online privacy.
-
The average person’s digital profile is tracked by over 700 data brokers worldwide.
-
In 2023 alone, identity theft cost U.S. citizens $43 billion.
This data is fed into AI-driven profiling systems that can predict your behavior, influence your decisions, and even shape your worldview. From your location and contacts to your political opinions and finances — nothing is off-limits.
Big Tech Is Watching — But You’re Not Powerless
It’s easy to feel like privacy is dead. But digital security isn’t about disappearing off the grid — it’s about taking back control of your information.
That’s why Survival Gear BSO has partnered with Glenn Meder, founder of Privacy Academy, to host a FREE online webinar:
