Oscar-winning director Oliver Stone has warned people about the popular video game " Pokemon Go " and said it is a complete invasion of privacy. The 69-year-old "Savages" filmmaker believes that it's not a joke and the game actually scans lot of personal information from your phone and a kind of surveillance could lead to "totalitarianism", reported Contactmusic.
"It's not funny. What's happening is a new level of invasion. The profits are enormous here for places like Google . They've invested a huge amount of money in data mining what you are buying, what you like, your behaviour," Stone said.
