Google Agrees To “Right To Be Forgotten” Censorship Plan

Article SOURCE http://searchengineland.com/google-to-censor-worldwide-sorta-243938 http://searchengineland.com/google-to-censor-worldwide-sorta-243938 Google Agrees To Complicated Worldwide “Right To Be Forgotten” Censorship Plan Google will ensure those within a country where a RTBF request was granted cannot find censored content, regardless of what Google edition they use. Danny Sullivan on March 4, 2016 at 2:35 pm Google has said it will begin next week to censor content worldwide that it removes under the European Union’s Right To Be Forgotten mandate. But “worldwide” censorship will only apply to those searching from a particular EU country where the request was originally made. How The Censorship Works Does that make your head hurt? This might help. Assume that someone in Germany files a Right To Be Forgotten request to have some listing removed for their name. If granted, the censorship will work like this for searches on that person’s name:     Listing censored for those in Germany, using ANY version of Google.     Listing censored for those in the EU, using a European version of Google.     Listing NOT censored for those outside Germany but within the EU, using non-European versions of Google.     Listing NOT censored for those outside the EU, using ANY version of Google. As you can see, it’s worldwide censorship for those within the country where the request was granted, in the sense that no matter what edition of Google they use, the removed listings will not show for the terms involved. For a deeper explanation of how all this works, including why listing even within the EU will continue to show for other types of searches, see my previous article: Google To Remove Right-To-Be-Forgotten Links Worldwide, For Searchers In European Countries. Outside the EU, none of the censorship will be in place — so it’s not worldwide when considered that way. This will also be the case for anyone within the EU who manages to disguise their location, such as someone using a VPN. Google Feared Worse The move is in response to EU concerns that Google’s previous censorship didn’t fully uphold the Right To Be Forgotten. If someone was within the EU, they could go to Google.com or another non-EU version of Google and still find material that Google was ordered to remove. This change closes that backdoor — which wasn’t likely used much anyway — on a country-by-country basis. It’s a much better outcome than if Google had been ordered to censor for all people worldwide, as that potentially would have caused it to censor globally for political reasons, such as with China. Of course, there’s one country that Google does continue to censor globally for: the United States, such as with copyright infringement removals. See our previous article for more about that: How The Myth Of Google Censorship Was Busted By The EU & Canada. Danny Sullivan is a Founding Editor of Search Engine Land.

Bypass Censorship Europeans on VPNs & Tor should be able to bypass this nonsense to see what their politicians are *hiding* ... depending on where the exit node is (but you just keep at it until you get the country you need ... lol). On consideration, I expect that the *majority* of Europeans online will not be accessing VPNs or Tor, so this leaves the PUBLIC of INDIVIDUAL EUROPEAN STATES vulnerable to CENSORSHIP & MANIPULATION:  ie POLITICAL SUPPRESSION by individual NATION STATES, as they see fit (ie.  in favour of measures furthering the US-NATO & EU policy that's devastating Europe). Reason: Withholding information amounts to DENIAL OF INFORMED CONSENT.

Free VPN Providers

Article SOURCE as marked Free VPN Providers Virtual Private Network ('VPN')   VPN = "Virtual Private Network" = protection of:  online identity, privacy etc. Free VPN Services Free VPN services available (some listed below, as at 2013) What's Needed for VPN Online [subscriber VPN provider example used] 1  VPN Server linking up to VPN Provider end of the business, at different locations 2  VPN Protocols VPN provider uses:  secure, encrypted communications 'Tunnel' Looks like this is what the VPN provider does: "VPN creates a secure tunnel using most powerful VPN protocols – hides your original IP behind one of its own – encrypts all your communication and passes through the secure tunnel allowing you to surf the web freely and anonymously"  [https://hide.me/en/] The https://hide.me/en/ provider, for example, offers:   -- free web proxy   -- Get new digital identity  connect (via VNP servers / via 'encrypted tunnel')   -- assigned new online anonymous ID   -- actual IP address -- record reportedly not kept     -- for access to blocked websites (ie censored)   -- access to geo-restricted content   -- to surf the web anonymously   -- to encrypt whole internet connection   -- unblock Skype and other VoIP tools    -- chat - inside & outside of country location   -- ISP for real IP address sees:  unreadable encrypted traffic  [https://hide.me/en/] 3  Encryption Makes communications unreadable to all, other than the receiver.

Not sure what the difference is. Check out the difference.  Difference noted section below. LINK | Post:  Tor vs. VPN ---------------------- ---------------------- COMMENT Got curious about masking online ID after downloading the WikiLeaks freebie book from Verso, and realising that my fake e-mail address and fake registration isn't much good when my online ID etc isn't masked.  Didn't think to use Tor, though.  Doh!  But because the Tor communication would have maybe been linked to the e-mail used, maybe that option wasn't as secure as it could be?  Not sure about that.  But I'm guessing a freshie e-mail might have been better than the temp sort of partitioned one.  LOL ...  I'm not really good at hiding. Being a tech dumb-dumb I didn't really know what I was supposed to do and, so far, I've been too lazy to make the effort to find out more about online privacy. Got onto  the above information in a round-about way, by following a trail from a comment about some download site, to references about 'Tor', 'Open Proxy' and VPN. Tor I'm good for, but I still haven't checked out 'Open Proxy' and I didn't really know what VPN was until today ... LOL.  If I came across it in my travels, I didn't take in the info or take an interest.  Not sure what this proxy stuff is about ... might have a look at some point.  In a rush now. The Romanian VPN:  would probably check to see what their relationship is like with the US before playing with that ... & probably keeping fingers crossed in case it's run by cyber crooks or something ... LOL.  Quick check indicates that VPNBook has been referred to in court discoveries and indictments against hactivist group members, by the look of this July 2013 article.  I've not read comments. OpenVPN sounds the best to me. Found out today that if you CTRL-C copy files and then delete the source of the files, you're left with nothing but a 'source not found' type message.  Lucky it was only a boring photo of my porridge breakfast (again) ... LOL. I Tor a little most days, but I'm still hooked on normal browsing. Reverted to Google search engine when I changed my OS (again) and stayed there because I was too lazy to find alternatives.  Due to Google's provision of assistance to US-led multiple state actor aggression in the Middle East, I've ditched Google for https://duckduckgo.com/ (doesn't track), but I find myself hopping back onto Google frequently, as it's hard adjusting to being somewhere else and scrolling through search engine data, sort of feeling like you might be missing out on something vital (or missing what you think is quick and easy detection of key info).  But in terms of the organisation overall, not too sure how reliable Google would actually be in that sense.  With the US state being embedded in Google and Google being in bed with the US state, they're probably hiding info from us instead of helping us find it.  ;) I'm over looking at this stuff:  OPSEC etc. might have to wait for another time.

TOR vs VPN | WHICH TO USE

Source The Tin Hat ... lol https://thetinhat.com/tutorials/darknets/tor-vpn.html   TOR vs VPN | WHICH TO USE Tor & VPN described as often conflated -- but Tor & VPN are different -- which is more suitable depends on context Essentially: Tor:  for activists & 'secret squirrels' / not for video downloads [caution:  not bullet-proof] vs VPN:  for (not vital) everyday anonymity / good for downloads VPNs -- take connection -- encrypt connection -- pass connection through server -- contact goes via VPN server to connection site sought -- ie:  it provides encryption & diversion of your online traffic A.     -- what you are doing & who you are connecting with not visible     -- eg. public wifi:  those watching get jumbled info sent to random server     -- same applies to Internet Service Provider (ISP) B. -- site visited does not know your geolocation (privacy enhanced)     -- this permits by-passing geographic restrictions on services Note: * what you do through VPN is know by operator of the VPN * VPN services claim not to log activity  but this is only a representation that may be dishonoured * eg. if VPN provider is issued with a court order for info on your activities * VPN provider would likely find some way to link your activity back to you * So:  VPN = good for low risk situations * BUT not so good for anonymity against a state actor Tor Browser -- works differently -- instead of connecting directly to server -- your connection is encrypted, bounced around x3 servers ('relays' or 'nodes') -- before being decrypted & sent to destination -- FIRST SERVER - knows your location -- SECOND SERVER - only knows data from FIRST SERVER -- THIRD SERVER - only knows that data from SECOND SERVER -- anonymity is provided as the third server cannot know origin of data -- majority of Tor servers not 'malicious' (do not log activity) -- nearly impossible to associate end-data of chain to origin -- very effective / takes significant state actor effort to de-anonymise -- bonus:  encryption by Tor to prevent - eg. ISP from seeing your traffic -- caution:  decryption at last server ('exit relay')  = point of vulnerability -- it is at this point your data can be spied upon -- therefore regular HTTP unencrypted connection relay of data (a no-no) -- can be read in its entirety at the exit relay by the operator of the exit relay -- however, using an add-on like HTTPS-Everywhere -- equals safely encrypted data -- with HTTPS even malicious server could not de-anonymise     * unless content contains personal info (email, name, address, etc)   COMMENT: I'm confused.  If HTTPS is supposed to be an encryption add-on -- how can a malicious server de-anonymise if personal data is included -- if encryption is supposed to be in place? -- makes no sense to me:  that's not encryption TOR - HIGHER SECURITY PRIVACY BROWSING ANONYMITY vs SPEED -- much slower than VPN -- but far better re anonymity -- avoid watching videos or downloading torrents -- bad for entire network & extremely slow -- best for high level anonymity needs -- eg. high threat levels = law enforcement scenarios -- journalists dealing w. sensitive sources, whistleblowers, political activists -- those living under oppressive state surveillance etc [comment:  all of us under US empire mass surveillance oppression ... LOL] -- use Tor if adversary is "more dangerous than a DMCA complaint" (copyright) -- promises provided by VPN companies = not enough. Use Tor. -- *do not treat Tor as if it were bullet-proof -- with enough time, de-anonymization is possible by agencies such eg. NSA -- using Tor = best bet, unless you are an NSA high-value target -- using tor for low bandwidth static sites helps 'populate' the Tor traffic -- & providing cover for those who need Tor for vital reasons -- note:  Tor is only an ANONYMITY TOOL -- without operational security (see OPSEC), anonymity tools rendered useless -- watch bad habits - can reveal ID to the motivated adversary -- keep torrenting to VPN -- VPN - EVERYDAY BROWSING PRIVACY -- VPN good for low-risk/bandwidth-heavy purposes -- VPN's are good for VIDEOS & TORRENTS task OPSEC -- operational security https://grugq.github.io/ The Grugq -- teach operational security (OPSEC) -- ie good security habits http://grugq.tumblr.com/ Source:  The Tin Hat https://thetinhat.com/tutorials/darknets/tor-vpn.html

Twitter Public Rape Policy - Extends to Tor Browser

ꕤ TWITTER CENSORSHIP Twitter Public Rape Policy Extends to Tor Browser BY TWITTER TWATS POLITICAL OPPRESSION TOR BROWSER BLOCK After checking to see if I could get into my main Twitter account @tokyorose_01, and finding I can't access that or the temporary account I set up after suddenly being 'offed'  by the cretins at Twitter, I decided to see if I could bypass what amounts to unjust and arbitrary Twitter censorship & political oppression. So I try to set up an account as Zarathustra's Sister.  Kind of liked that, even though it's not really practical.  lol All was going well, until the f*ckholes at Twitter demand a PHONE NUMBER -- which is precisely WHY I'm locked out of (1) my main account and (2) the alternate account I set up in order to complain about being locked out of the main account!! So those f*ckholes at Twitter have not only arbitrarily shut me out of my accounts, denying me a political voice -- they've obviously also 'blacklisted' my IP. As in, I was able to create the alternate account (after being unceremoniously shut out of my main account while posting my political tweets), without the requirement to provide telephone number. Therefore, if I'm attempting to do likewise the next day, after I've had the alternate account was also 'offed' by those c*cksuckers, the only explanation for the brand spanking new up-front demand for a phone number to access the service is the blacklisting of my IP. It annoyed me, but I didn't sweat it.  I've always got Tor, I figured. Well, IP addresses for Tor Browser are also OBVIOUSLY blocked when: (a) Shot No. 1 - via USA  -  is met with a demand for a phone number; and (b) Shot No. 2 - via Netherlands - is met with a demand for a phone number. Considered for a moment that they may have blacklisted Russian e-mail addresses, but that can't be the case because all my e-mail addresses are Russian and it's never been an issue -- and I used freshies for each attempt. The f*ckers at Twitter have BLACKLISTED TOR BROWSER IPs!!! Twitter has therefore  instituted policies that shut down the voices and messages of those that are severely persecuted by the state -- eg. in places like TURKEY -- where the Turkish state shuts down public access to social media platforms such as Twitter, so word of the Turkish government's abuses cannot get out to the Western public.  Twitter is truly despicable. What's the purpose of the TWITTER PUBLIC RAPE POLICY of withholding account access while  demanding fake / throw-away phone number verification -- which is all those assh*les are going to ever get from me? As in, I can get a disposable SIM and verify the account via a disposable SIM number. But then what?  What is the point of the provision of a fake phone number? And why is it even needed when I don't bother masking my whereabouts:  as in, the c*cksuckers have my IP address, so it's not like I'm untraceable. What kind of fucked up 'social media' platform is Twitter? I can't even wrap my head around this bullsh*t ... what is wrong with the programmers there, are they on drugs or something? Why would they want a phone number that's fake / throw-away? The only reason I can think of is:  fake or no fake, the phone number must disclose a GPS location. What, is Obama going to drone Twitter users now?  lol ** Jesus, the text is really blurry looking at the display version of this.  Don't know if it's the colours I've chosen, or my eyesight is going.    lol ꕤ

NPD Germany - End Boomerang Economic Anti-Russia Sanctions

ꕤ Article SOURCE https://archive.is/00OSm Original Source https://npd.de/wirtschaftssanktionen-gegen-russland-sofort-beenden/ GOOGLE TRANSLATE {German to English} NPD National Democratic Party of Germany (Nationaldemokratische Partei Deutschlands) Website http://www.npd.de/ [access via Tor Browser, if blocked] End economic sanctions against Russia immediately! Pastörs The NPD Group will call for an immediate end to the anti-Russia EU sanctions during the December session of the Diet. Slump in orders, loss of revenue, not least vulnerable jobs: The anti-Russia sanctions turn out already as a tangible boomerang. As the Austrian Institute for Economic Research has calculated mid-year, Germany is affected by all the European countries most affected by the sanctions. Here are just under half a million jobs and 27 billion euros in added value in the balance. Even and especially M/V wont to Russia many years, intensive connections and economic relations. At least 100 companies maintain business contacts there. The dips are immense, as is apparent from data of the State Statistical Office. Accordingly, exports of goods in the first quarter broke in 2015 compared to the same period last year by almost half a. Were delivered in the first three months of 2014 have products worth EUR 60.4 million to Russia, there were only 32.7 million euros in the same period 2015. The NPD Group has therefore made an application on the agenda for the coming parliamentary session. With the initiative, the state government will be asked to stand up without delay at the federal level for a termination of the existing sanctions against the Russian Federation and its citizens, authorities and companies. The second should be averted further EU sanctions which are directed against Russia. Furthermore, requires the national opposition, that the federal government continue to assume a role of mediator, and to do this with the proviso a critical but neutral dialogue with Moscow and the EU ( http://www.dokumentation.landtag-mv.de/Parldok/dokument/37115/wirtschaftssanktionen-gegen-russland-sofort-beenden-.pdf ). Already last year, the NPD has confronted Parliament and provincial government with several initiatives for EU-Ukraine-Russia-problems, for example in the context of the current hour on 17 September 2014 as the National demanded a clear commitment to traditional Russia-day. By two applications, the NPD team spoke for an end to the EU-escalation policy ( http://www.dokumentation.landtag-mv.de/Parldok/dokument/34664/eu-eskalationspolitik-beenden-keine-sanktionen-gegen-russland-.pdf ) as well as against the also accompanied by medial barrage saber rattling towards Moscow ( http://www.dokumentation.landtag-mv.de/Parldok/dokument/35059/nein-zu-einem-krieg-gegen-ru%C3%9Fland-ja-zur-nationalen-souver%C3%A4nit%C3%A4t-unverz%C3%BCglicher-austritt-aus-dem-nato-aggressionsb%C3%BCndnis-r%C3%BCcktritt-von-den.pdf ). The EU sanctions against Moscow were imposed in spring 2014 after the Russian Crimean referendum. Beginning in December 2015 gave Brussels known to prolong the sanctions for another six months. The "European Union" is thus making even the lackey of the United States, are following tough geopolitical and economic interests in the Eurasian region. The sanctions are part of a strategy of encirclement of Russia after the NATO has been advanced up to Russia's borders 1991 onwards. In addition, the so-called Eastern Europe installed in missile defense of Moscow is rightly perceived as a threat, which applies to the West initiated "revolutions" on the periphery of Russia as well. source https://archive.is/00OSm Original Source https://npd.de/wirtschaftssanktionen-gegen-russland-sofort-beenden/ ---------------------- ꕤ ---------------------- COMMENT NPD is the German nationalist-socialist party. The NPD is constantly harassed by the official German authorities, in attempts to shut down the political party. NPD has been (and probably currently is) infiltrated by government spies who have used entrapment in an attempt to shut down the party (which resulted in failure of the government's attempt to ban the party). Repeated attempts to ban the nationalist-socialist political party have been unsuccessfully so far, but there is a fresh 2015 attempt to ban the party. Note also that members are targeted by the extremist left and others (so anyone joining up might want to use an alias and an untraceable purpose-specific e-mail, I would guess). So far, I like the sound of NPD. They sound like a proper opposition to the established political order, as opposed to tools of the established order. Check out the economic rebound to Germany.  Sales to Russia stripped by almost 50% (if I'm reading that correctly ... I'm not really 'maths-y' ... lol). This article is directly off the NPD site, translated to English by Google. In my location, while using Firefox browser, I wasn't able to directly access their site on two occasions:  a day ago and today.  So the site must be blocked where I am. First Firefox browser try today, I get a re-direction to some advertising crap about millionaires. Second try on Firefox, no go:  'unable to connect'. However, I was able to access the NPD site (shortly beforehand) earlier today via Tor Browser. So I am going to guess that this is Western government censorship and denial of information and therefore denial of informed consent, along with denial of information. https://npd.de/ via Firefox Able to access via Tor Browser: https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser.html.en *** Double checked to make sure I wasn't mistaken about the site.   I'm not mistaken.  The site must be blocked at my end. Something strange is going on with the Google Translate, as well. Tor Brower site access shows the following site/screen for NPD:  Tor Browser NPD Site Access But a Google Translate throws up this: Tor Browser Google Translate Site (1) Tor Browser Google Translate Site (2) That doesn't make sense to me.  Has Google Translate been hacked or hijacked? ꕤ
