Reposted from @freedom_faction - The #FBI is abusing ancestry #genealogy websites by tapping into their DNA data. What’s worse, these companies are giving up users’ data under presumed consent that is buried in their terms and conditions, according to several reports. #FamilyTreeDNA is the first company known to be cooperating directly with the FBI to give its agents access to its genealogy database, according to a BuzzFeed report. A FamilyTreeDNA spokesperson told BuzzFeed that FamilyTreeDNA’s agreement with the FBI gives the agency the ability to search more than a million genetic profiles — the majority of which were given by their customers without knowledge of the company’s relationship with the FBI. As part of the arrangement, FamilyTreeDNA has further agreed to test DNA evidence and identify the remains of deceased individuals in violent crimes for the FBI in its own laboratory. In a statement, FamilyTreeDNA said that customers have the ability to opt out of matching features in their account settings. Doing so would prevent #lawenforcement from accessing their genetic information, but it also means a user would be unable to find potential family members through the service. According to Gizmodo, the company also seems to admonish those who choose to opt out by suggesting that it could be a “moral responsibility” to give up their private health information to the FBI. However, the fact of genealogy companies are being subpoenaed by law enforcement isn’t a secret. In fact, it’s in the disclosures on their websites — FamilyTreeDNA, #AncestryDNA, and #23andMe. Forensic magazine reports that the FBI had previously had access to FamilyTreeDNA’s database before the partnership with the FBI. After news broke that the FBI was accessing user data, FamilyTreeDNA announced that it would allow its customers to bar law enforcement from accessing their data, Engadget reported. As an interesting corporate connection to make, one of the co-founders of 23andMe, Anne Wojcicki, is married to Google’s Sergey Brin. Unsurprisingly, Google Inc. also backs the DNA analysis company. 🖐🏾More in comments👇🏾#BuildingTheMatrix #BigPharma #BigBrother #GATTACA - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/BwF7qA3DPeQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vhpvvyp6pqbp

Reposted from @freedom_faction - #America was once such a place, but now everything has changed. Today, most #Americans willingly plug themselves into “#thematrix” for multiple hours each day. We are increasingly living our lives through our screens, but in the process the amount of real human interaction that we have with one another just continues to go down. We are absolutely addicted to our phones, our televisions and our computers, and many of us actually become extremely physically uncomfortable if we are forced to “unplug” for even a few hours. But even though we already know all of this, the numbers from a brand new survey that was just released are still hard to believe. According to a survey of 2,000 people, the average adult in the #UnitedStates spends about six hours and 43 minutes a day staring at a screen… Perhaps it’s no surprise then that Americans spend nearly half of their waking hours looking at screens, according to a survey of 2,000 adults. More specifically, the survey found that 42% of the time Americans are awake, their eyes are fixated on a television, smartphone, computer, tablet, or other device. Supposing the average American slept eight hours a night (not even close to the case for most adults), the researchers calculated that people spend about six hours and 43 minutes a day staring at a screen. Over a typical lifespan, that’s 7,956 days. It has been said that “we are what we eat”, and the same principle is true when it comes to our minds. Six giant media corporations control more than 90 percent of the news and entertainment that we get through our televisions, and control of the Internet is rapidly being consolidated by huge companies as well. That gives the elite an enormous amount of power to influence how Americans see the world. If we want to fight back, we have to reach Americans where they are, and where they usually are is in front of some sort of screen. And according to that same survey, this is a trend that appears to be accelerating over time… 🖐🏾More in comments👇🏾#BuildingTheMatrix #AutonomousSociety #SocialEngineering #BehaviorModification #Technocracy - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/BsyDRMCn9j4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=xwjfrrpyjiy2

Regrann from @freedom_faction - #Google has removed the phrase “Don’t be evil” from its Code of Conduct; this comes as at least 4,000 employees have expressed outrage over the company’s decision to work with the #Pentagon’s #ProjectMaven and amid a leaked video called the “#SelfishLedger” exposing internal Google dialogue to create a #dystopia run by the big social giant. Google has removed multiple instances of its infamous “Don’t be evil” motto from its Code of Conduct, Gizmodo reported. #WaybackMachine’s April 21st, 2018 archive shows the three-word phrase still present in the opening paragrahps of an earlier Code of Conduct: Don’t be evil. Googlers generally apply those words to how we serve our users. But “Don’t be evil” is much more than that. Yes, it’s about providing our users unbiased access to information, focusing on their needs and giving them the best products and services that we can. But it’s also about doing the right thing more generally – following the law, acting honorably, and treating co-workers with courtesy and respect. The Google Code of Conduct is one of the ways we put “Don’t be evil” into practice. It’s built around the recognition that everything we do in connection with our work at Google will be, and should be, measured against the highest possible standards of ethical business conduct. We set the bar that high for practical as well as aspirational reasons: Our commitment to the highest standards helps us hire great people, build great products, and attract loyal users. Trust and mutual respect among employees and users are the foundation of our success, and they are something we need to earn every day. However, in May you will now notice the “Don’t be evil” phrases aren’t present in an entry on May 4th, 2018 Wayback archive of the Code of Conduct, which was last updated on April 5th, 2018. The Google Code of Conduct is one of the ways we put Google’s values into practice. It’s built around the recognition that everything we do in connection with our work at Google will be, and should be, measured against the highest possible standards of ethical business conduct... 🖐🏾More in comments👇🏾#BuildingTheMatrix #Technocracy #Mi

Regrann from @freedom_faction - Thoughts? #China is rolling out a high-tech plan to give all of its 1.4 billion citizens a personal score, based on how they behave. But there are consequences if a score gets too low, and for some that’s cause for concern, CBS2’s Ben Tracy reported Tuesday. When Liu Hu recently tried to book a flight, he was told he was banned from flying because he was on the list of untrustworthy people. Liu is a journalist who was ordered by a court to apologize for a series of tweets he wrote and was then told his apology was insincere. “I can’t buy property. My child can’t go to a private school,” he said. “You feel you’re being controlled by the list all the time.” And the list is now getting longer as every #Chinese citizen is being assigned a #socialcreditscore — a fluctuating rating based on a range of behaviors. It’s believed that community service and buying Chinese-made products can raise your score. Fraud, tax evasion and smoking in non-smoking areas can drop it. China’s growing network of surveillance cameras makes all of this possible. “It can recognize more than 4,000 vehicles,” Xu Li said. Li is the CEO of Sensetime, one of China’s most successful #artificialintelligence companies. It has created smart cameras for the government that can help catch criminals, but also track average citizens. “We can tell whether it is an adult, a child, male or female,” Li said. Ken Dewoskin has studied China’s economic and political culture for more than three decades. He says how the new scoring system truly works is kept secret and could be easily abused by the government. Tracy: “How far into people’s daily mundane activities does this go?” Dewoskin: “Well, I think that the government and the people running the plan would like it to go as deeply as possible to determine how to allocate benefits and also how to impact and shape their behavior.” 🖐🏾More in comments👇🏾#Technocracy #SocialCreditSystem #CitizenThreatRanking #SurveillanceState #SocialEngineering #BehaviorModification #Agenda21 #Agenda2030 #Agenda2050 #AutonomousSociety #BuildingTheMatrix #RealTimeCrime #PreCrime #1984 #MinorityReport #BlackMirror #NewWorldOrder - #regr

Not based on who i know, but pure soul.... #freedom_faction ・・・ On the southwestern edge of #LakeTiticaca, #Peru, there is an ancient 23-foot doorway known as the #AramuMuru. Local natives call it the “Puerta de hayu Marca,” the gateway to the lands of the gods and immortal life. Throughout their history, the natives have described people disappearing and appearing at this doorway. In 1998, purported extraterrestrial contactee Jerry Wills claimed a tall blonde humanoid named Zo taught him how to access Aramu Muru and enter “another universe.” Wills further claimed that Zo illustrated to him how our universe is an experimental simulation within his species’ universe. They built it to understand their own reality, which is itself nested inside a larger universe. The next year, in 1999, the blockbuster science fiction film #TheMatrix came out and forever emblazoned into our collective subconscious the idea that our existence is a simulation created by a more advanced race of beings. Incidentally, the film also made long black trench coats, black sunglasses, and my last name all the rage, but I digress… A few years after the release of The #Matrix, philosopher Nick Bostrom published the Simulation Argument, a concise paper entitled “Are You Living in a Computer Simulation?” It presented a trilemma, a mathematical breakdown of why at least one of three provocative scenarios must be true. “(1) the human species is very likely to go extinct before reaching a ‘posthuman’ stage; (2) any posthuman civilization is extremely unlikely to run a significant number of simulations of their evolutionary history (or variations thereof); (3) we are almost certainly living in a computer simulation. It follows that the belief that there is a significant chance that we will one day become posthumans who run ancestor-simulations is false, unless we are currently living in a simulation.” 🖐🏾More in comments👇🏾#SimulationTheory #HolographicUniverse #BuildingTheMatrix
