URGENT!!! 

Tell your representatives to stop Obama's unilateral surrender of control of the internet to the UN and 56-nation Organization of Islamic Cooperation.

 

Obama has NO right to do this. Obama does not own the internet even though America invented it.   Unless Congress stops him before October 1st, foreign governments will control the internet and have the ability to censor free speech. This could be regarded as akin to treason.

GOOGLE AGREES TO DELETE ONLINE INFORMATION ON THOUSANDS OF CRIMINALS IN THE EU - Your new boyfriend, babysitter, or doctor could be one of them, and you'll never know

The more profound question is whether Google even has the right to censor legitimate information.  

 

Google has been manipulating content for a long time, as you may have noticed during your searches.   But with enough patience, Europeans still had the hope of finding what they were looking for.  Not anymore.

 

Daily Mail - Google deletes 18,000 UK links under 'right to be forgotten' laws in just a month: 60% of Europe-wide requests come from fraudsters, criminals and sex offenders.

Law allows EU citizens to ask for links to be removed from Google searches

The ruling was widely criticised for allowing murderers, rapists and paedophiles to erase information about their past 

UK has third highest number of requests, behind France and Germany 

In total, Google has received nearly 500,000 requests to remove links

Within a month of the ruling ten per cent of requests came from paedophiles

It includes the online removal of newspaper articles.

Daily Mail likens it to the burning of library books.

Requests from Britain included a former clergyman who wanted to remove links to articles about a sex abuse investigation and a doctor who botched a medical procedure.

GOOGLE GRANTS "RIGHT TO BE FORGOTTEN" TO BRITISH MAN WHO ABDUCTED AND MURDERED 11 YEAR OLD GIRL - That means all Google references to his name regarding this crime to be erased - Father of victim outraged.

UPDATE September 27, 2014

Google denies removing then reinstating MailOnline story about murderous paedophile under controversial 'right to be forgotten' ruling

The ruling by European judges gives people the right to have 'inadequate' and 'irrelevant' results about them wiped from the web

Spokesman from Google said that while the article HAD been removed from some search results it was NOT at the request of paedophile Ronald Castree

He said request was granted to someone else mentioned in the article

The article about the conviction of Castree, 61, is just one of thousands Google has removed from search results and just one of numerous MailOnline articles affected by the ruling.

 

However, a spokesman from Google early Saturday said that while the article HAD been removed from some search results it was NOT at the request of Ronald Castree.  And he said the request had been granted to someone else mentioned in the article but that the story would still appear if Castree was used at the search term.  The spokesman refused to say who had asked for the article to be removed and thus granted the right to be forgotten.

 

Under the right to be forgotten rule, stories are not entirely deleted by Google, rather they simply will no longer appear if a certain search name is used.

It is a safe bet ICANN will fall under the effective, if not de jure, control of the United Nation’s International Telecommunication Union (ITU). Should that happen, neither the security, stability, nor resiliency of the Internet’s Domain Name System can be assured.

Indeed, this sort of arrangement has long been demanded by such enemies of freedom and free expression as the governments of Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran; multi-national groups like the Organization of Islamic Cooperation; and the UN bureaucracy.

US GOVERNMENT GIVES UP REMAINING CONTROL OVER THE INTERNET - WHAT NOW? WHO HAS THE MORAL CREDIBILITY TO DEFINE INTERNET FREEDOM?

THE TOUGH QUESTION NEVER ASKED - AND NEVER ANSWERED:

 

What country in the world has more moral credibility than the USA?  

 

Just look at what the United Nations has become:  a club for bloody despots and countries guilty of genocide dictating 'morality' to us.

 

Yes, the United States government is guilty of many sins and abuses.

 

But considering the power it has wielded in the world, it still is the best of the bunch.

 

U.S. to relinquish remaining control over the Internet

 

By Craig Timberg, Washington Post  - Published: March 14

 

U.S. officials announced plans Friday to relinquish federal government control over the administration of the Internet, a move that pleased international critics but alarmed some business leaders and others who rely on the smooth functioning of the Web.

 

Pressure to let go of the final vestiges of U.S. authority over the system of Web addresses and domain names that organize the Internet has been building for more than a decade and was supercharged by the backlash last year to revelations about National Security Agency surveillance.

 

The change would end the long-running contract between the Commerce Department and the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), a California-based nonprofit group. That contract is set to expire next year but could be extended if the transition plan is not complete.

BIG CALIFORNIA QUAKE COULD CRIPPLE INTERNET, CELLPHONES

Twenty years after the Northridge earthquake, experts say a huge temblor across Southern California today could cripple cellphone and Wi-Fi Internet service.  Seismic safety officials increasingly have been studying how telecommunications would be affected after a quake even bigger than Northridge and expressed concerns it would make communications difficult for days or longer.  Like water and gas lines, most Southern California Internet lines run across the San Andreas Fault, and officials fear the Big One could cut off service. 

YOUR FACEBOOK PAGE COULD AFFECT YOUR CREDIT SCORE

Looking up loan applicants’ social media activity has become a popular trend among lenders, and major credit rating agencies like Fair Isaac Corp (FICO) are starting to catch on.

Facebook factors like the number of friends an applicant has, the number and time span of jobs they have listed on their timeline and status updates about losing a job help to decide whether they’re approved or denied, and now will likely begin to influence their credit score as well.

“There could come a time where certain social media could be predictive and we’re looking at that, but it isn’t yet,” FICO consumer-credit specialist Anthony Sprauve told the Wall Street Journal.   FICO scores are used in more than 90 percent of all credit worthiness lender decisions.  Twitter and LinkedIn are also used to follow a potential borrower’s tweets about their job, and whether or not the job they have listed on their application matches the one posted on their LinkedIn profile.  

Lenders also check and see whether the friends and connections of an applicant have paid back their loans.  Some are even using it to communicate with current borrowers about their repayment options and urging them to make payments on loans. Lenddo, a platform that helps potential borrowers build creditworthiness through social media, sends messages about repayment directly to users’ accounts.

Government regulators and privacy advocates like the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Federal Trade Commission have begun examining lenders’ use of social media, with early reports calling it a violation of consumer privacy.  With laws already on the books in some states to keep employers from using social media from judging job candidates and schools from evaluating prospective students, a similar law against the use for approving loans and establishing credit ratings is a possibility.

GOOGLE ALLOWING STRANGERS TO SEND E-MAILS TO YOUR G-MAIL ADDRESS

Users of Google's web-based email service Gmail will be bombarded with messages from total strangers following a system update which allows people to send them emails without needing their address, it is feared.

The change, announced on yesterday, is designed to integrate Gmail with Google+, the firm's two-and-a-half-year old social network that has 540 million active users.  As well as seeing their social network contacts added to their list of email contacts, the update means Google+ users will be able to email people on the social network directly even if they don't have their address.  Currently anyone signing up for a Gmail account is automatically given a Google+ account too.

Google said the new feature will make it easier for people who use both services to communicate with their friends.  Some privacy advocates said Google should have made the new feature 'opt-in,' meaning that users should explicitly agree to receive messages from other Google+ users, rather than being required to manually change the setting.  Marc Rotenberg, the executive director of non-profit Electronic Privacy Information Center, called the new feature 'troubling'.

Google can now use your face and name on Google ads without prior authorization

GOOGLE CAN NOW USE YOUR FACE AND NAME IN GOOGLE ADS

BREIBART - Google has officially updated their terms of service to allow the company to use your name and image on their ads that populate the internet. 

YOU CAN OPT OUT OF THIS HERE.   The new terms of service read:

If you have a Google Account, we may display your Profile name, Profile photo, and actions you take on Google or on third-party applications connected to your Google Account (such as +1’s, reviews you write and comments you post) in our Services, including displaying in ads and other commercial contexts. We will respect the choices you make to limit sharing or visibility settings in your Google Account. For example, you can choose your settings so your name and photo do not appear in an ad.

The new "shared endorsements" are ruffling some privacy feathers. "We think it's a problem," says Marc Rotenberg, executive director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center. "It's a commercial endorsement without consent and that is not permissible in most states in the U.S."

Facebook tried something similar and was forced to pay a $20M settlement, when they were sued in a class action suit. Facebook had used "endorsements" in the ads run on the social network, but they did not provide a way for users to opt out.

GOOGLE: GMAIL USERS SHOULD NOT EXPECT PRIVACY

Google admits the obvious:
You already gave your privacy away.

 

PC WORLD - Take a look at Google's privacy policy, and you'll see that you've already granted Google the right to sift through your stuff, and yes, the policy explicitly mentions doing so to dish out tailored ads.

 

Perhaps more ominously, you will see that Google will turn over users' personal data when it's necessary to “meet any applicable law, regulation, legal process or enforceable government request.” Practically every major tech company includes similar clauses in their own terms of service.

 

That might have seemed okay back when we figured the government needed a warrant to get users' data, or was at least narrowly restricted in what it could get without one. But now, there are all sorts of scenarios in which the NSA can sift through users' personal data, even if they are inside the United States and not suspected of a crime.

IS A TALKING HEAD BETTER THAN EMOTICONS?

TECH NEWS -

A new system generates a voice and facial expression to go along with your e-mail.  The interactive device can generate six different emotions.

Personally, I'm not convinced. I would much rather see an animated cartoon with a wide range of emotions.  Maybe BUGS BUNNY.  No one can turn from a sweet little bunny into a raging beast like him.  

Or how about a real dog with all their amazing range of expressions.

Anyway, see for yourself here:

And since we're talking about dog expressions, have you seen the book DOGS UNDERWATER? Don't miss these pictures.  Wouldn't it be better to send a picture like one of these with your e-mail to bring a smile to your friend's face?
