The year began with the frontal clash of the dreadnought and Jonki - Google megacorporation and a tiny non -profit partnership with the strange name Adnauseam, which can be translated from Latin as “with disgust”.
Google is the capital of $ 80 billion, a worldwide search engine, YouTube, Android, Maps and Earth, Internet control, advertising flows, Gmail posts, billions of users, 54 thousand employees and the famous office in California. Adnauseam-these are three people who do not even have office: Professor Helen Nissenbaum works in New York, developer and artist high-tech, Dan Hawv, in New York, then in Hong Kong, designer Tsur Aviv in Tel Aviv. Well, how did they manage to fly on Google?
The fact that under a pleasant, smooth, light, sliding internship of the Internet is hidden day and night mechanisms of surveillance, no news for anyone for a long time. Actually, the entire Internet, with the exception of dark and deep networks, turned into a web of surveillance. Everyone is monitored: advertising agencies, sellers, special services. All of them create databases in which the user is determined by fingerprinting ( a user identification method for the settings of his browser - A.P. ), is described by algorithms, classified from the point of view of behavior, needs and capabilities. All of them climb to a person, overlaying him with cuckoo, superkuki and sticking an advertisement into his brain, perfectly selected to his requests. So, in their opinion, the Internet should work.
In response, the rule of good tone began to put the Adblock Plus and Ublockorigin additions to browsers that block advertising. These and many other additions work on the principle of a shield that repel blows flying into the user. You can put a lot of additions to the browser and create a capsule of shields inside which travel on the Internet. But, one way or another, all this is defense, and nothing but defense, defense at the last line, that is, where our eyes begin, our brain, our consciousness.
Three eccentrics without an office and investment came up with something else. They figured out how to beat in response! Their light ADNAUSEAM, installing in the browser, immediately begins in the background, without interfering with the user, click all advertising in a row, as announced. Did you want us to click? Well, get it! And while a person is busy with his own business, that is, he reads, plays or communicates on the network, a small program falls asleep in thousands of clicks all the surrounding advertising, joyfully welcoming the sale of beads and BMWs, vouchers and sneakers, lamps and lemons and all the others as much related things. And what does this lead to?

To the fact that under a hail of strokes the algorithms created to calculate the user, create his psychological portrait, predict his interest in the product and service. But if you click on all advertising in a row, then there is no portrait, just as there is no algorithm, there is only a crazy one who does not represent any value in the eyes of advertising and trade. Special services also rest, because they cannot see psychology behind this behavior. All this gang of insects, overwhelmed by the user, with such behavior is fooling, breaks and falls off, and in the database is recorded solid and unusable noise for analysis.
And we become indistinguishable. We, objects of surveillance, suddenly lose personal features and merge into a crowd of creatures without individual characteristics, which is why the whole science of describing customers and customers manipulation flies to hell. One hundred such browsers are already creating strong tension in specific monitoring mechanisms, a thousand is able to break mathematical brains that consider each click, and one hundred thousand, like an army of archers, will fill up the huge offices that control the world.
It is nice to imagine the faces of analysts who come to work in the morning and in bewilderment look at the graphs, who show that from now on everyone clicks everything!
Professor, programmer and artist created an attacking weapon capable of changing the network!
This is a blow in the heart of the empire, according to its most important secret. This secret is that the industry is fed by us, our data, our behavior, our habits, our lives. They need all this to process in money. And that’s why Google threw Adnauseam from her worldwide chain store, but not only. Google cut down the addition directly to user browsers and installed a software unit that prevents the new installation. Google, without entering into explanations on the merits of the matter, simply burned out a little insolent from her Chrome browser.
Three eccentrics-Professor Nissenbaum, programmer Dan How and designer Tsur-Aviv-released a press release in response, which says: “It is scary to think that at any moment Google can calmly make you expansion and data will disappear without any warning. Today it is your confidentiality tool, tomorrow it is your photo album or password manager. Google’s power over the Chrome browser is strong, but brave users can find the instructions for installing Adnausem, where the Google resolution is not needed. ”
And after all, there is also Firefox and Opera, in them a small daredevil Adnauseam can still click the advertisement of fun, albeit with disgust.
