Permanent Record
by Edward Snowden
"The data we generate just by living -or just by letting ourselves be surveilled while living- will enrich private enterprise and impoverish our private existence in equal measure. If Government surveillance was having the effect of turning the citizen into a subject at the mercy of state power then corporate surveillance was turning the consumer into a product which corporations sold to other corporations data Brokers and advertisers."
"Our data wanders far and wide. Our data wanders endlessly. We start generating this data before we are born when technologies detect us in utero and our data will continue to proliferate even after we die. Of course, our consciously created memories -the records of what we choose to keep- comprise just a sliver of the information that has been wrung out of our lives, most of it unconsciously or without our consent by business and government surveillance. We are the first people in the history of the planet for whom this is true. The first people to be burdened with data immortality. The fact that our collected data might have an eternal existence. This is why we have a special duty. We must ensure that these records of our past can't be turned against us or turned against our children."
