Nothing screams “I’m a fraud!” more than being against masks until your fans demanded them, lying about why you were originally against them, signaling your virtue by needlessly wearing 1 while throwing out 1st pitch (poorly & like a fame whore) & then doing THIS! #FauciTheFraud

Andy Biggs wants Google court documents on how it uses data to be disclosed to public

Arizona Republican Rep. Andy Biggs told a Maricopa County Judge overseeing a case related to Google that any trade secret or proprietary information about the tech giant should be made available to the public. In a Wednesday letter to Judge Timothy Thomason, Biggs referenced a current case in the Arizona court being fought out by the state attorney general and the online search engine over how the company handles Arizona residents’ user data. “My colleagues in Congress and I have previously expressed concerns over Google’s concerning invasions of privacy. All branches of our government exist to protect the fundamental liberties of our citizens — especially their privacy,” Biggs wrote.” On May 27, Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich filed a lawsuit against Google for deceptive and unfair practices used to obtain users’ location data, claiming the company exploits for its advertising business. The state filed the suit under the Arizona Consumer Fraud Act to halt Google's collection of user data and retain “monetary relief up to and including forcing Google to disgorge gross receipts arising from its Arizona activities.”

As a result of the lawsuit, the subsequent Arizona attorney general’s investigation turned up documents Google does not want the public to see but that the prosecutor's office believes the public has a right to know about. Google’s attorney Jean Jacques Cabou now wants Maricopa County Judge Timothy Thomason to block Brnovich’s attempt to release the documents he received from the company during his investigation. “The public has a strong interest in transparency and learning the full extent to which Google and other tech companies may be spying and surreptitiously collecting information from Arizonans, including constituents whom I represent,” Biggs wrote to Thomason. “Any information that is not considered a trade secret or proprietary to Google should be made available for the public.”

Google has been under scrutiny for invasion of privacy over tracking the whereabouts of its users even when users explicitly tell the service through its online settings not to, the Associated Press first reported. Last June, a $5 billion lawsuit was filed in a San Jose court accusing the tech company of secretly collecting information about what people browse on the web despite using Google's incognito mode.

Chinese military researcher hiding out in China’s San Francisco consulate is arrested

A Chinese military researcher hiding out in China’s San Francisco consulate has been arrested and is being held in a Sacramento jail after being charged with visa fraud. It was first reported that Tang Juan was being harbored by China and was wanted by U.S. authorities on Wednesday, the same day that the United States ordered the Chinese government to shut down its consulate in Houston. China retaliated on Friday by ordering the U.S. to shut down its consulate in Chengdu. A Justice Department official told the Washington Examiner on Friday that Tang Juan, 37, was arrested, and the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department inmate search shows that Tang was booked at the Sacramento County Main Jail just after midnight early Friday morning. U.S. law enforcement would not have had the authority to enter the Chinese consulate forcibly to arrest Tang, and it is not immediately clear how she ended up in U.S. custody. She is expected to make an appearance by video at a Sacramento federal courtroom Friday afternoon.

Tang was one of four Chinese military members who have been charged by the Justice Department in recent weeks for concealing their ties to China's military and thus committing visa fraud while acting as students or researchers at U.S. universities. “These members of China’s People Liberation Army applied for research visas while hiding their true affiliation with the PLA,” Assistant Attorney General for National Security John Demers said this week. “This is another part of the Chinese Communist Party’s plan to take advantage of our open society and exploit academic institutions.” John Brown, the executive assistant director of the FBI's National Security Branch, said that “in interviews with members of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army in over 25 cities across the U.S., the FBI uncovered a concerted effort to hide their true affiliation to take advantage of the United States and the American people.”

Tang was interviewed by the FBI on June 20 about her concealing her ties to the PLA while she was a researcher at the University of California, Davis, and the FBI executed a search of her home and her electronics media showing further evidence she had hidden her ties to the PLA when applying for a visa. Court documents show that the bureau “assesses that, at some point following the search and interview … Tang went to the Chinese Consulate in San Francisco.” The FBI’s assessment that China had been harboring a fugitive from U.S. authorities was revealed in a seven-page detention memo related to another Chinese national, Chen Song, an active-duty PLA military scientist who was arrested for allegedly committing visa fraud as a researcher at Stanford University. The FBI memo argued that “as the Tang case demonstrates, the Chinese consulate in San Francisco provides a potential safe harbor for a PLA official intent on avoiding prosecution in the United States.” The bureau said Tang's J-1 visa application claimed she had never served in the Chinese military, but an “open source investigation” revealed pictures of her in the uniform of the Civilian Cadre of the PLA and that she had been employed as a researcher at China’s Air Force Military Medical University. When the bureau interviewed her on June 20, Tang “denied serving in the Chinese military.” She soon fled to the nearby Chinese consulate. “Put simply, the PRC government is intent on protecting its officials from prosecution in the United States,” DOJ’s court filing stated.
