Building the new Tor

[foxtrot]

you'd be surprised how close the two Gs work together.

And social media companies... And telecom companies...

Massive server farms that copy everything that happens and goes through the net. Then web-bots and spider programs scrape through the data looking for triggers and keywords. If something's flagged it'll be looked at more closely.

It's not conspiracy theory stuff. This is happening.

an MLP member and I were just discussing yesterday how Dropbox is blocking pirated movies and such. How do they know what's in your private encrypted Dropbox unless they're looking at it or scanning it against a tracking list for the Studios? None of of this stuff is secret it's just not widely talked about because a lot of people don't want to know, (it seems like.)

People shoving their heads into the sand doesn't make this stuff not real.

Oh I never said they couldn't monitor. I agree with your spider boys analyzing everything.

Use a VPN. It'll help calm things a bit. Dropbox blocking pirated videos? I bet with a VPN they wouldn't block it. Why download movies? Music I can see to store it on portable. But movies? I just stream it off kodi tv. ANY movie. Except for watching cams. Not into it. I just wait a few wks for better quality.

Rebuilding TOR won't do much good. Maybe in the beginning. But anonymity on the net is not through TOR. It's using a paid not logging VPN. TOR is used by journalists and many crime syndicates. Child porn, PPV rape or torture, drugs, guns, assassinations ect thrive on TOR. Perhaps it's to lessen those things but it won't stop it. Considering that much of it is happening overseas where the gvmt (US) really can't touch foreigners. Only those that perhaps pay with bitcoins to produce harmful things. Though the gvmt isn't really after the snowballs but the ice makers themselves...

Remember the late 90's Will Smith movie Enemy of the state? He was under surveillance but the tech used then seems prehistoric compared to now. Agents running around yelling GPS coordinates so a guy could aim the satellite towards the guy they are tracking.

to start __ I'm going to quote from section one , of the following article

https://www.huddle.com/blog/google-drive-for-businesses/

1. Outrageous Terms of Service that give Google the (data) farm. The tech blogosphere was on fire yesterday expressing outcry at Google Drive Terms of Service. It’s not hard to see why.
“Your Content in our Services: When you upload or otherwise submit content to our Services, you give Google (and those we work with) a worldwide licence to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, create derivative works (such as those resulting from translations, adaptations or other changes that we make so that your content works better with our Services), communicate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute such content.
The rights that you grant in this licence are for the limited purpose of operating, promoting and improving our Services, and to develop new ones. This licence continues even if you stop using our Services (for example, for a business listing that you have added to Google Maps).”
As Zack Whittacker at ZDNet notes, “Simply put: there’s no definitive boundary that keeps Google from using what it likes from what you upload to its service.”
Ed Bott at ZDNet goes further: “Did no one in Mountain View look at that document and say, ‘I wonder what our users will think of this?’ Apparently not. Did anyone say, ‘Hey, remember when Dropbox did this and had to apologize for an entire week?’ I guess not.” He goes on to say, “It’s a perfect example of Google’s inability to pay even the slightest bit of attention to anything that happens outside the Googleplex.”

now here's the funny part

Google Drive has a " share " function built into the program .
In theory , if I have a file in one of these shared folders ( example : a book of reference material ) __ that doesn't belong to me exclusively

they can share this information with others
and anything that I do create , can also be used as they see fit , even if it is as a derivative work

_______________________________________________________________

Google Drive is not the only company that has ridiculous terms of service like this

for instance __ Occulus Rift , which wants to lead the industry in Virtual Reality headsets , claims ownership of any file created for use with the headset

this clause is going to create a lot of problems , for anyone who works as a freelance 3D designer ( like myself ) , who doesn't have full time access to a team of copyright lawyers , for protection of my *ahem* assets
