Mark Zuckerberg has a different definition of “privacy” than you and me

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg published a post today (March 6) outlining what he calls a “privacy-focused vision for social networking.” That sounds nice, until you realize that his definition of “privacy” is… confusing.

People’s activities on the social network will no longer default to being viewable by everyone, Zuckerberg notes. Posts and messages will be “ephemeral,” meaning they can’t be viewed months or years after the fact. And every message sent on a Facebook service will be end-to-end encrypted, keeping it safe from hackers and “over-reaching governments.”

These examples provide an interesting picture of the future of Facebook. But they are definitely not examples of “privacy” as it is used in the context of the internet, user data, and social networks. Instead, they show that Zuck is basically aiming to make Facebook more “private”—the way you might refer to a “private party” or your “private parts”—while claiming the company really cares about “privacy.”

The two terms mean different things. You can see the different definitions at work in these two paragraphs near the beginning of the post (emphasis added):

Global Fund for Health: How seven African countries squandered millions of foreign aid

Africa’s foremost diplomat, Kofi Annan, was one of the biggest human export from the continent.

Aside from being the seventh Secretary-General of the United Nations for nine years (1997 to 2006), the late Ghanaian was one of the founders of the Global Fund. The funding mechanism is now the world’s largest financier of AIDS, Tuberculosis, and malaria prevention, treatment, and care programmes.

Having just won the Nobel Peace laurel, Mr Annan at a summit of African leaders in April 2001 in Abuja, Nigeria made the first contribution by donating his $100,000 award prize to the Fund.

This prompted the UN General Assembly a month later to endorse the creation of a Global Fund (GF) to fight HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. The fund was formally created in 2002. Between then and 2016, more than 51 donor governments pledged $38.5 billion and paid $37.3 billion.

Mr Annan had a vision of creating a pool of funds to reach some of the world’s poorest with heavy disease burdens, especially, Africans.

China blocked 23M citizens from traveling through their social credit score

Chinese citizens who engage in poor behavior risk the opportunity to travel by train or plane thanks to the communist country’s strict social credit system rules.

China has implemented a social credit system that basically punishes a person for specific offenses, like unpaid taxes, jaywalking, smoking in public, taking drugs, or walking their dogs without a leash, Fox News reported.

The Communist country has already banned millions of people from traveling by placing them on blacklists with the philosophy that this will give them an incentive to rectify their untrustworthy behavior.

Unlike the U.S. credit score system which is purely financial and related to the borrowing of money, China’s is much more expansive. The Chinese system does prevent consumers from buying insurance or real estate, but it also bans them from traveling.

“China’s supreme court said in 2017 that 6.15 million citizens had been barred from taking flights because of social credit offenses. In 2018, China’s National Development and Reform Commission banned 128 people from leaving China because of unpaid taxes,” the Guardian reported.

Maryland Democrat now calling gun owners “terrorists” in latest escalation against the Second Amendment

American Leftists who have taken over the Democrat Party are revealing themselves to be no different from Leftists in banana republics and other despotic regimes around the world throughout history.

Authoritarian and anti-liberty, they seek to impose their will on the people through the use of regulatory agencies and the courts if they can’t persuade enough people to vote them into power. If they do happen to win an electoral majority, they use the power they have been given to quash anyone who opposes them.

The People’s Democratic Republic of Maryland provides a great example of this kind of Leftist tyranny. Frustrated by the lack of progress in disarming a greater number of residents, Democrats there have now resorted to calling gun owners “terrorists” in an effort to demonize them and, thus, make it easier to thwart the Second Amendment.

Businessman to POTUS: ‘Get red tape out of the way and I can build 234 miles of wall for $1.4 billion’

In the past, money was no object when it came to bipartisan support for shoring up border security and adding physical barriers to prevent human and drug smuggling into the United States from Mexico.

But suddenly, Democrats and RINOs are ‘concerned’ with spending what amounts to a rounding error in a $4-plus trillion budget to improve border security and make it far easier for immigration authorities to keep our country safe and ensure our laws are followed.

So, a businessman is speaking our president’s language in order to end the border wall funding ‘impasse.’

The president and CEO of Fisher Sand and Gravel Co., Tommy Fisher, told the Washington Examiner that if POTUS got rid of the wall of red tape and other burdensome, unnecessary barriers, he could build him 234 miles of new border wall for the bargain basement price of $1.4 billion.

Peruvian Farmers Abandoning Coffee Plantations for Coca Fields

A drop in coffee prices is forcing hundreds of Peruvian farmers to seek work in coca plantations-a sign that the country, like its neighbor Colombia, is seeing a boom in coca cultivation.

A report by the Association of Exporters (ADEX) notes that although coffee production increased by 6 percent in Peru between January and November of 2018, the total value of the exported goods decreased by 6 percent. This is directly attributed to low prices in the international market and obstacles in the consolidation of sales contracts.

Brutal: Dem Senator Rips CNN Hack James Clapper: “He Needs to Stop Making Excuses for Lying” (VIDEO)

Democrat Senator Ron Wydon (D-OR) ripped CNN contributor and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper on Wednesday for continuing to lie about his famous lie to the American public.

In March 2013 Director of National Intelligence James Clapper went before the US Senate and lied about government spying. Senator Ron Wydon asked Clapper if the NSA collects any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of Americans? Director Clapper replied, “No, sir … not wittingly.”

Why You Should Be Worried About Machines Reading Your Emotions

Reading emotions is akin to phrenology, or reading the bumps on your head to predict mental traits. Both are based on simplistic and faulty assumptions which could falsely scar an individual for life. ⁃ TN Editor

Could a program detect potential terrorists by reading their facial expressions and behavior? This was the hypothesis put to the test by the US Transportation Security Administration (TSA) in 2003, as it began testing a new surveillance program called the Screening of Passengers by Observation Techniques program, or Spot for short.

While developing the program, they consulted Paul Ekman, emeritus professor of psychology at the University of California, San Francisco. Decades earlier, Ekman had developed a method to identify minute facial expressions and map them on to corresponding emotions. This method was used to train “behavior detection officers” to scan faces for signs of deception.

But when the program was rolled out in 2007, it was beset with problems. Officers were referring passengers for interrogation more or less at random, and the small number of arrests that came about were on charges unrelated to terrorism. Even more concerning was the fact that the program was allegedly used to justify racial profiling.

Ekman tried to distance himself from Spot, claiming his method was being misapplied. But others suggested that the program’s failure was due to an outdated scientific theory that underpinned Ekman’s method; namely, that emotions can be deduced objectively through analysis of the face.

Ecuador Arms Trafficking Ring More Complex Than Previously Thought

Organized crime structures are known to be moving entire arsenals from Peru into Ecuador and on to armed groups within Colombia. However, the full details about the origins of these weapons and the specific criminal organizations receiving them remain unknown.

On February 13, Ecuadorean authorities carried out an operation in the cities of Quito and Riobamba, dismantling an international arms trafficking network that transported, stored and distributed weapons and ammunition from Peru into Ecuador, as well as along Ecuador’s border with Colombia.
