2024-07-29: Apple agrees to stick by Biden administration’s voluntary [sic] AI safeguards

“It’s joining more than a dozen other companies in making the pledge, including Amazon, Google, Microsoft and OpenAI. … [Among the safeguards are]  social responsibility, including flagging societal risks such as biases … and sharing trust and safety details with the government and other companies“

This is an example of how Democrat officials coerce tech companies to implement Democrat political agenda. Then they deny government action. Continue reading Biden admin already coerced AI companies →

Crowdstrike conducted malware gain of function

#CrowdStrike,

A cybersecurity company purporting to protect its customers against malware must have a database of known malware. It is one of the company’s most important assets. When CrowdStrike was founded in 2012, it lacked a database of its own. Its main asset was Shawn Henry, hired from the position of Executive Assistant to the FBI Director. Instead of creating or renting malware signatures from another vendor, CrowdStrike deployed a tool called CrowdRE, short for Crowd Reverse Engineering. This was a malware repository with a reverse engineering tool. Officially, it was intended for security researchers to analyze malware. However, it also allowed malware authors worldwide to benefit from public reverse engineering and borrow modules from this repository for their own malware. Anyone with a Google account was welcome to join CrowdRE. Continue reading Crowdstrike conducted malware gain of function →

Plus Footnotes for AT article

dems,

The Obama-Biden administration and its blue states counterparts used climate cult agenda to attack conservative and libertarian organizations all the time. Typically, they used legal threats against businesses contributing to conservative non-profits that criticized climate alarmism.

In April-May 2016, the Democrat party escalated its onslaught on the conservatives and republicans using this vehicle. Former VP Al Gore and a coalition of Democrat State Attorney Generals attacked conservative thought institutions, using climate cult doctrine as a club. One of them, the Virginia Islands Claude Walker went after the top right of the center thinks tanks. See Continue reading Plus Footnotes for AT article →

The Mar-a-Lago Raid and Crooked Archivist Ferriero

18 USC Ch. 115, BT state actors, dems, L1, ,

The FBI unit sent to raid the Trump’s residence had instructions to shoot under certain circumstances.

The raid was part of a phony investigation, reportedly triggered by the former NARA Director David Ferriero. In his government positions, Ferriero has perpetrated at least two huge crimes that received no media attention.

On behalf of NARA, he signed agreements with select Big Tech companies on those companies’ terms (TOS with minor changes). These agreements allowed those companies to deplatform the US at will, to decide who has access to US government accounts, and what the US can post. Of course, the Fox News-affiliated MySpace was not included. Continue reading The Mar-a-Lago Raid and Crooked Archivist Ferriero →

Mark Warner Plagiarized Soviet Penal Code

Big Tech, BT state actors, dems, L1, , ,

In 2018, Democrat Congresspersons forced Big Tech (including Facebook, Twitter, and Google) to start suppressing, sabotaging, and censoring conservative and Republican voices on their platforms. They did that by threatening them with adverse or ruining legislation and regulation. The efforts were led by Sen. Mark Warner (D-VI). He lifted the text from the old Soviet Penal Code, Article 190.1, criminalizing criticism of the Soviet institutions (“государственный и общественный строй”), and replaced some words in it:

The original: disinformation that undermines trust in the Soviet state and social institutions

Mark Warner: disinformation that undermines trust in our institutions, democracy, free press, and markets Continue reading Mark Warner Plagiarized Soviet Penal Code →

Before Pandemic Struck

dems, healthcare,

This post revisits the story of Dr. Brenda Fitzgerald, who was appointed the CDC Director by President Trump in July 2017. Dr. Fitzgerald was perfect for the position, having had experience as a physician, Commissioner of the Department of Public Health of Georgia, and multiple other public service positions. Previous CDC Director Thomas Frieden praised her and wrote that she had “put excellent people in key positions.”  The CDC Director position did not require Senate approval. Democrat Congresspersons, aided and abetted by the hostile media and Big Tech, chased her out by phony accusations of conflicts of interest. If she remained in the position, the Clinton cabal in the HHS would be unable to sabotage President Trump in his response to the COVID-19 epidemic, and it would not become a pandemic.

Google Plunders the Web

Big Tech, BT legal, google, L0, ,

2024-04-02: Google has changed its operations since the original publication of this post. Now it does not show (and, possibly, does not steal) pages excluded in robots.txt. It continues stealing the same content when re-published on other sites. In any case, robots.txt does not grant any copyright permissions; it is merely a technical file, as explained below.

Google and other Big Tech companies were mostly honest, value-creating enterprises until around 2008. The main factor behind Big Tech’s wealth, and the collapse of honest journalism and civil society, was Google and Microsoft’s plundering of content from millions of websites with impunity. Here, I am focused on text-based content, like news, commentary, scholarly and scientific works—in other words, the works that contain or create human knowledge.
