To better understand whats in demand, selling, trending over a wide population. Color, size, changes in demand for materials, style.
Is average demand for a more conservative fashion? Different colors? Are consumers buying new product lines quicker or not? Are consumers spending less and keeping a few trusted brands that are better value for longer?
That can all be used to support ads, push out new trends. To find out if movies or celebrities using brands or product ranges had any influence over buying patterns.
If product placement worked, try it again. Did a movie or celebrity fail to change buying habits and set a new trend?
Did average consumers rush out to buy into a new line of products and a brand due to promotion?
Real time sales data and market research in to size, style, household spending can only do so much.

Onion Service will be the next version of the www.
As less of the internet gets searched by political "search engines" having results altered, people will move to onion service to rediscover the joys of the net in the mid 1990's.
The more social media removes movie reviews, links, comments, the more people will seek fun and freedom again.
Freedom of speech, freedom after speech. Its like making a 1990's web site early in the next be tech change.
Re Germany AC, East Germany kept a watch over its authors, journalists, editors and publishers.
Just as SJW now watch over videos, news, movie review, politics, arts, culture, history and block content and comments....
The people of East Germany had to work hard to get freedom back.
Re "I've never understood why companies want to wade into arguments about what is acceptable speech."
Place a political sign for an election in the front yard..
Will the electric, telephone, gas, internet and water company stop all services as they don't like the local politics?
Once a few big "social" media sites get too big they become a service needed to interact with local, state, federal governments?
People have their freedom of speech but won't be found by a search engine, have their political comment removed, won't be allowed to link.. no political/news video uploads? Only some political views are approved and allowed?
Yet the site is still open as a public commons for big government and gov services...
All the benefits of social media supporting a big gov, none of the freedom of speech, freedom after speech?
A walled garden for users unable to enjoy the protection of expression, assembly, and the right to petition?
The SJW jumped the shark https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/....
People are now looking for real sites to host their video clips. The fun people, smart people started looking for better sites.
Sites that allow media to be uploaded, search for, linked to and commented on without the complexity of SJW.
The need to to censor was not a good policy as top "social" media sites are not unique anymore in bandwidth support and encoding support.
Other better, smarter, more fun sites will emerge from the censorship that can support the USA, freedom of speech and freedom after speech.
The USA offered something few other nation had, protection from government and freedom of speech.
SJW wanted to turn US social media into what any other nation could provide, a boring internet.
The more boring SJW approved social media gets, the more fun new sites attract branding, ads and users.
Want to stay on a site that allows the user to watch an ad and then watch an approved positive move review?
Read down for 100% positive, approved comments?
the more fun the freedom of speech supporting US competition attracts.
If a site just wants to offer government policy, political press conferences, positive big studio movie review, tourism news..
Whats the point of using a social media site if people don't get to comment on policy, movies, news, history, music, arts, culture, sports?
Users have to stay 100 % positive in how they write about a movie?
Freedom of speech, freedom after speech is what made the internet fun and allowed some US sites to keep growing.
Many nations did not have that freedom to post and respond.
Thats why the US brands attracted so many users.
Freedom is a great product to sell globally. Why alter the only aspect that allows a US social media site to be better and more fun than most of its global competition?
Once a site gets extra boring why return? Follow the fun and rediscover the joy of using the internet on much better sites:)
Read movie reviews by a section of fun, smart people? Freedom of choice, freedom of expression allows for a fun site.
Read the only movie review that was allowed on a very boring site?
Who gets the clicks? Who gets the views? Who gets the links? The site with the fun, creative and smart people talking about movies?
The boring site with the "approved" review a few approved 100% positive comments...

The "Unmanned Systems Integrated Roadmap"
In a fictional movie script setting.
Will that ip always point to a 8/16, early 32 bit desktop computer at home in real time?
In terms of a user's home desktop 8/16/32 bit computer with, dial up modem, big HD storage, a set ip for hours and dial up isp ip range.
The interesting person uses their home ISP account to get into to a computer network and slowly move files back to their own home computer over hours.
Logs show a clear moment of files from the network to a home computer ISP account.
The skill level for a home computer to send a few commands to third party fast computer and fast network?
A fast network and computer system would then be used to archive all the files. No files would be connected to the home computer until later.
The third party network has the storage, CPU, fast compressing applications so all the home computer finally has to download is a few select files after reading, sorting, decrypting if needed, compressing.
Was it a real home computer or the security services staging server...
The fictional movie got lots more fun...
The problem was different thinking between the USA and UK.
The UK was able to keep a secret and got all Irish communications. Only a few in the UK mil, GCHQ and Royal Ulster Constabulary Special Branch had any idea about the "collect it all" networks, results that covered all communications in, into and out of Ireland. Voice prints found one or both sides of all new, interesting conversations.
"How Britain eavesdropped on Dublin" (15 July 1999)
http://www.independent.co.uk/n...
No lawyers, no human rights lawyers, court workers, telco workers, police, journalists had the information to understand national and international collection in/in and out of Ireland.
Irish funding, direct support from the USA was discovered and tracked back to its origins in the USA by the UK mil thanks to the use of phone networks.
The funding and flow of material into Ireland from the USA was then stopped.
If interesting people did not understand how total network collection worked globally they just kept on talking.
The results allowed the UK mil and Special Branch to focus in on small groups, offering each interesting person a deal to turn informant or consider other methods.
The USA is now different. The gov needs publicity, budget growth for contractors, good cyber police news stories for the news cycle.
US human rights lawyers, court workers, telco workers, contractors, ex and former police, journalists, cult members, faith groups, criminals now understand the inner workings of police network collection and what a phone will not keep secure.
The USA told the world decades of the UK's best kept "collect it all" secrets so US police could get into phone crypto for open courts.
The UK had the better idea and kept methods secure, the USA will see easy collect it on consumer grade phones go dark due to methods been discovered in the courts.
WARRIOR PRIDE https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Interesting people who would have once kept on talking, inviting new people to talk (voice print of the new person) will just move to more traditional methods of communications. Well way from junk consumer devices and brands with open mics.
What could have been decades of total network collection was lost to needing good news about a few US court cases.
Re "a false sense of complacency."
Keep using the consumer grade systems, its totally safe.
Until consumer tech encounters something like WARRIOR PRIDE. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
NOSEY SMURF gave a hot mic.
Depending on the phone its a "any content from the phone" collection:)
The other part is for police to keep trusting their own phones.
If no case goes to open court, average police, gov and mil workers and contractors still "trust" their phones.
A great way to keep track of gov/mil/contractors and who might be talking to journalists.
For people to keep speaking and trusting their phones, the feeling of security has to be reinforced for every generation of worker and phone.
Reality is that collect it all has always worked and always will.
To try and fill every university with very average students.
If only the best got in on real merit?
Pass the same very difficult exams, pay to get in, take out a loan or scholarship..
Once that exam is based on merit again?
That would see a few top universities graduating only the very best students. Smaller class sizes with all in the class having passed real exams. Less funding. Real educational standards would return.
Graduates would all have new skills needed in the workforce.
With a scale result more very average students get into university. More loans, more funds, larger class sizes, growth, wealth per university.
Scaling results provides budget growth for education every year.
So much cash has been offered by the gov, private sectors over decades. Calculators that have supporting text books... New desktop computers. Still getting low grades years later every year? Laptops... more next textbooks
Still not getting that academic good news? Tablet computers...robot kits... digital course work..
When will educators understand its not a spending issue at schools.
The funding per student and school should have resulted in some better education results over the decades if a lack of spending was the issue.
More money again per year per very average student will not fix the test result issues.
Focus on using testing to sorting the best from all the average students. Get the best students who test well every year in math into the best math supporting university.
Put that new funding into math and science at a university level so the very best students get the new computers they need.
Stop funding average schools again and again for decades. Fund maths, science and engineering departments at the best universities once the best students can show they can really study and learn.
Other students can find their way into arts, sport, languages, medicine, law, arts related "studies", history, vocational education.

Re: should you move your personal computing into the cloud?
No.
A desktop computer with fully encrypted connections to a few trusted project collaborators is looking rather wise at this time.
Who wants to risk some other party inspecting networked files?
Everything is scanned in real time for many different reasons. Files that have checksums that have been part of past police investigations.
For now your average compact camera, SLR is not been evil.
Take your own images, enjoy them and keep them well away from the cloud.
Re: Why would they do that?
To better understand whats in demand, selling, trending over a wide population. Color, size, changes in demand for materials, style.
