😱 Horrifying investigation into ShadowDragon, a government contractor that collects user data from the farthest corners of the web. Their main product, SocialNet, can map out a user’s activities across an astonishing range of online services—including pregnancy-tracking sites, payment apps, social media platforms, video games, bodybuilding sites and even fetish communities. Two of the company’s biggest clients are ICE and Homeland Security Investigations, according to 404, but ShadowDragon also works with corporations and nonprofits. It’s shocking the kind of surveillance we’re signing up for when we agree to lengthy Terms & Conditions online—even within the most innocuous-seeming services.
