Ex Google employee warns of disturbing China plans

Dave Lee North America technology reporter 26 September 2018

"Mr Poulson said the sum of these efforts amounted to a "catastrophic failure" of Google's internal policies on privacy - as well as going against assurances made to the US trade regulator regarding data protection measures in its products."

"Dragonfly is part of a broad pattern of unaccountable decision making across the tech industry," Mr Poulson wrote."

Google’s censored search engine for China is sparking a

moral crisis within the company

The company is reportedly cracking down on employees who are sharing details about it.

By Alexia Fernández Campbell@AlexiaCampbellalexia@vox.com Sep 25, 2018, 5:20pm EDT

"An internal battle is playing out at Google’s offices in Silicon Valley and around the globe.

After news leaked in August that the company was secretly developing a censored search engine for China, more than 1,400 employees have signed a letter demanding more transparency and accountability about the project’s potential impact on human rights. The controversy has reportedly prompted at least five Google employees to quit in protest.

Now Google is reportedly cracking down on employees who say the tool will also allow a Chinese partner to closely track and monitor users."

"Google has ventured into China before, in 2010. But back then it decided it couldn't live with the censorship rules. So it pulled out. This potential re-entry into China signals a major policy U-turn, involving one of the biggest tech companies on the planet and the world's largest market."

Google employees are angry that the company is making a censored search engine. They can shut it down.

"Google is experiencing a “moral and ethical” crisis. That’s the view of hundreds of employees at the tech company, who are protesting the development of a censored search engine for internet users in China.

About 1,400 Google employees — out of the more than 88,000 — signed a letter to company executives this week, seeking more details and transparency about the project and demanding employee input in decisions about what kind of work Google takes on. They also expressed concern that the company is violating its own ethical principles."

GOOGLE PLANS TO LAUNCH CENSORED SEARCH ENGINE IN CHINA, LEAKED DOCUMENTS REVEAL

Ryan Gallagher August 1 2018, 4:58 a.m.

"PREVIOUSLY, BETWEEN 2006 and 2010, Google had maintained a censored version of its search engine in China. At the time, the company faced severe criticism in the U.S. over its compliance with the Chinese government’s policies.

During a February 2006 congressional hearing that focused on the activities of American technology companies in China, members of the House International Relations Committee called Google a “functionary of the Chinese government” and accused it of “abhorrent actions” for participating in censorship. “Google has seriously compromised its ‘don’t be evil’ policy,” declared Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J. “Indeed, it has become evil’s accomplice.”

Learn from China's 'Dragonfly Eye' to fight crime

Wednesday, December 13, 2017

"On Monday, this week, we were drawn by reports of China's investment in what it has said is “the world's biggest camera surveillance network”.

According to the Chinese authorities, 170 million closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras are already in place across that country and approximately 400 million new ones will be installed in the next three years."

Dragonfly Eye Algorithm: Big Brother speaks Chinese

Published at: 12:00, May 9, 2018 by Luis R. Miranda

In a case, the Dragonfly Ey algorithm recognized a suspect when he crossed the lathe and sent his photograph to the police, who received the image in the PDA they use to verify identities.

The arrest was immediate, and Dragonfly Eye was not wrong. Since then, several hundred people have been arrested, although authorities do not specify how many were made as a result of using the algorithm created by the Chinese company Yitu.

“Our system can easily recognize anyone among 2 billion people,” says company founder, Zhu Long.

JOHN MCAFEE'S WARNING ABOUT THAT PRESIDENTIAL ALERT

John McAfee had a different opinion about the Presidential Alert and it’s positively dystopian.

The "Presidential alerts": they are capable of accessing the E911 chip in your phones – giving them full access to your location, microphone, camera and every function of your phone. This not a rant, this is from me, still one of the leading cybersecurity experts. Wake up people!

Saudi Arabia can survive ‘2,000 years’ without US help & not face civil war like America – MBS

Published time: 6 Oct, 2018 01:12

Edited time: 6 Oct, 2018 05:04

"Saudi society fully supports the royals and those few fringe extremist elements who stir trouble are being dealt with, believes crown prince Mohammed bin Salman, who claimed the kingdom can survive for 2,000 years on its own.

Known in the West by his initials MBS, the crown prince may, as he said, ‘love’ working with the US and Trump but, when it comes to thinking of examples of successful managers of social change, he is decidedly ‘America last.’ Any drastic financial, political and legal reforms come with a hefty price tag, he emphasized, drawing parallels with the history of the United States.

“…if you look at the United States of America, when for example they wanted to free the slaves. What was the price? Civil war. It divided America for a few years. Thousands, tens of thousands of people died to win freedom for the slaves,” Bin Salman told Bloomberg, in a wide-ranging interview published Friday."

“I love working with him. I really like working with him,” bin Salman said of Trump, calling his comments a “one percent” disagreement between allies."

Not the same story from previous breads with some more interesting comments from MBS.
