Our analog parents\u2019 dating preferences were considered a most private of matters. For our digital children, their dating preferences is a wholesale harvesting opportunity for marketing purposes. How did this terrifying shift come to be?<\/p>\n

I believe the first big harvester of dating preferences was the innocent-looking site hotornot.com<\/em><\/a> 18 years ago, a site that more seemed like the after-hours side work of a frustrated highschooler than a clever marketing ploy. It simply allowed people to rate their subjective perceived attractiveness of a photograph, and to upload photographs for such rating. (The two founders of this alleged highschool side project netted $10 million each for it when the site was sold.)<\/p>\n

Then the scene exploded, with both user-funded and advertising-funded dating sites, all of which cataloged people\u2019s dating preferences to the smallest detail.<\/p>\n

Large-scale pornography sites, like PornHub, also started cataloging people\u2019s porn preferences, and contiously make interesting infographics<\/a> about geographical differences in preferences. (The link is safe for work, it\u2019s data and maps in the form of a news story on Inverse, not on Pornhub directly.) It\u2019s particularly interesting, as Pornhub is able to break down preferences quite specifically by age, location, gender, income brackets, and so on.<\/p>\n

Do you know anyone who told Pornhub any of that data? No, I don\u2019t either. And still, they are able to pinpoint who likes what with quite some precision, precision that comes from somewhere<\/em>.<\/p>\n

And then, of course, we have the social networks (which may or may not be responsible for that tracking, by the way).<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been reported<\/a> that Facebook can tell if you\u2019re gay or not with as little as three likes. Three.<\/em> And they don\u2019t have to be related to dating preferences or lifestyle preferences \u2014 they can be any random selections that just map up well with bigger patterns.<\/p>\n

This is bad enough in itself, on the basis that it\u2019s private data. At a very minimum, our digital childrens\u2019 preferences should be their own, just like their favorite ice cream.<\/p>\n

But a dating preferences are not<\/em> just a preference like choosing your flavor of ice cream, is it? It should be, but it isn\u2019t at this moment in time. It could also be something you\u2019re born with. Something that people even get killed for if they\u2019re born with the wrong preference.<\/p>\n

It is still illegal to be born homosexual in 73 out of 192<\/a> countries, and out of these 73, eleven prescribe the death penalty<\/a> for being born this way. A mere 23 out of 192 countries have full marriage equality.<\/p>\n

Further, although the policy direction is quite one-way toward more tolerance, acceptance, and inclusion at this point in time, that doesn\u2019t mean the policy trend can\u2019t reverse for a number of reasons, most of them very bad. People who felt comfortable in expressing themselves can again become persecuted.<\/p>\n

Genocide is almost always based on public data collected with benevolent intent.<\/p>\n

This is why privacy is the last<\/em> line of defense, not the first. And this last line of defense, which held fast for our analog parents, has been breached for our digital children. That matter isn\u2019t taken nearly seriously enough.<\/p>\n

Privacy remains your own responsibility.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
