Pre-Bunking & Other New Search Engine Censorship Techniques
@takebackourtech | LIVE

From last week's interview, Colin & I discuss Google's new censorship techniques birthed from its Jigsaw division, which sees itself as an 'internet justice league'.

We have a laugh on their latest article about 'Conspiracy Theories', as they downplay belief in 9/11 truth and the 'New World Order' while focusing on QAnon.

We're reaching an internet era where the biggest companies think they have a right to dictate what the truth is and that they know better than anyone else. Over the next few years, you will see startling control over information unless you decide to seek truth using alternative methods. Presearch will be one of those alternative methods.

In the fall of 2020, gig workers in Venezuela posted a series of images to online forums where they gathered to talk shop. The photos were mundane, if sometimes intimate, household scenes captured from low angles—including some you really wouldn’t want shared on the Internet. 

In one particularly revealing shot, a young woman in a lavender T-shirt sits on the toilet, her shorts pulled down to mid-thigh.

The images were not taken by a person, but by development versions of iRobot’s Roomba J7 series robot vacuum. They were then sent to Scale AI, a startup that contracts workers around the world to label audio, photo, and video data used to train artificial intelligence.  https://www.technologyreview.com/2022/12/19/1065306/roomba-irobot-robot-vacuums-artificial-intelligence-training-data-privacy/

Where's The Nearest Cell Tower @takebackourtech | EXERCISE

I'm always looking for ways to improve health factors, and one such factor is proximity to a cell tower. Because cell towers are so powerful and radiate continuously, they can be very damaging to our health.

Here are some resources to locate the nearest cell tower to your house - please keep in mind that none of these sources are complete, and you may have to dig more.

Cell Mapper - the most comprehensive map, however you have to filter by the cellular provider (remember to go through the main providers for your country). The map also starts off in Africa for some reason.

TowerMaps - another good map with 350K antennas, it doesn't include info about the towers, just locations

ScadaScore - features 25K towers with information, uses publicly available data from the FCC

Exercise: Find the 3 nearest radio tower to your house. There were 2 at least within a mile for me...

Big Brother is protecting you’: NYC Mayor Eric Adams pledges stronger policing, more technology in 2023

How his aspirations play out in a city where fears of increasing crime followed wide-scale protests against police violence in 2020 remains to be seen.

NYC Mayor Eric Adams blames the rise in crime on problems he inherited from his predecessor, Bill de Blasio, who had a famously fraught relationship with the NYPD.

The new mayor has walked a line between police ally and critic — passionately defending the force while also calling cop culture to task. He often harkens back to his own abuse at the hands of police officers in the 1970s and years spent calling for change during his 22 years inside the department. As mayor, he admonished officers he feels are wasting time on their phones .

Progressive Democrats had warned last year Adams would turn the city into a police state, but concerns about crime overpowered them. And Adams believes he has a mandate to make change.

How his aspirations play out in a city where fears of increasing crime followed wide-scale protests against police violence in 2020 remains to be seen.

In an interview with POLITICO, Adams promised an expansion of technology-assisted policing to detect weapons. Over the past year, he has promoted the use of cameras and lauded divisive facial recognition devices .

“It blows my mind how much we have not embraced technology, and part of that is because many of our electeds are afraid. Anything technology they think, ‘Oh it’s a boogeyman. It’s Big Brother watching you,’” Adams said. “No, Big Brother is protecting you.”

U.S. Scientists Are Already Altering the Weather and Nobody Seems to Care

📡
@G3News: Weather modification was banned as a weapon of war by the United Nations in 1978. It has sparked concern over the potential for "rain theft."

Still, a number of countries—including China and the United Arab Emirates—and U.S. states—like Texas and Arizona—have thrown their weight behind cloud-seeding.

Cloud-seeding is a form of geoengineering that involves planting chemicals in clouds that encourage water droplets to clump together and fall as rain—as a tool for combating drought, averting storms, and keeping hydro power plants running.

While the UAE’s National Center of Meteorology garnered controversy this year for hinting at its use of cloud-seeding to break up long periods of drought during summer, Idaho Power openly seeds its clouds during winter. By launching silver iodide—a compound that mimics the structure of ice molecules and gloms onto them, weighing them down until they fall—into clouds during colder conditions, the utility triggers snowfall.

“Cloud seeding is just another arrow in the quiver,” Derek Blestrud, senior atmospheric scientist at Idaho Power told Vice. “It’s just another tool that we can use in the whole portfolio of the water system and our portfolio of power generation.”

New Material Removes 99.9% Of Microplastics From Water
@takebackourtech | SOURCE

Researchers in South Korea have developed a new material that can remove 99.9% of pollutants like microplastics from water in 10 seconds.

“The technology we developed here is an unrivaled water purification technology with the world's highest purification efficiency, removing more than 99.9% of phenolic microplastics and VOC contaminants in water at ultra-high speeds,” said Professor Park Chi-Young, lead author of the study. “We expected that it will be a universal technology with high economic efficiency that can purify contaminated water and supply drinking water even in areas where there is no power supply.”

Google Faces Another Lawsuit For Tracking Children
@takebackourtech | SOURCE

Google is set to face a class action lawsuit that accuses the tech behemoth of collecting information and tracking children’s behavior online without consent, according to the decision of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

The lawsuit was filed in 2019 by children, through their parents, against Google, YouTube as well as other firms with channels on the video streaming platform like Cartoon Network, Hasbro, DreamWorks Animation, and Mattel Inc. The companies are blamed for running targeted ads on children based on Google’s “persistent identifiers.” The decision comes a year after another court had dismissed the suit.

These identifiers refer to unique IMEI numbers of a device or the IP address that allows Google to track the behavior of a user over as much as 80 percent of the internet, thereby enabling the creation of profiles used in targeted advertising.

By tracking the online behavior of children without the consent of parents, Google and other firms are said to have violated the federal Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and other similar state laws.

Insect Farming Turns Organic Waste Into Food For Chickens
@takebackourtech | SOURCE

Recently discovered 'Better Origin', an UK company producing mobile insect farms for use in animal agriculture. Their product is a shipping container with AI & automated systems that manage the production of food scraps into larvae feed. These larvae grow full sized and are harvested to replace soy / grain feeds. The use of the land for larvae production is more efficient in comparison. There are also benefits to the health of the animals, showing improvements in behavior, feather count, and egg production.

However I definitely do not agree with the larvae being processed for consumption for humans, as this company has suggested as a use - along with their alignment with carbon agendas and reliance on AI.

Does insect farming instinctually turn you off, or do you think it can be harnessed for animal feed?

NASA & HAARP Use Long Wavelength Radio Signals To Scan The Inside Of Asteroids
@takebackourtech | SOURCE

The HAARP array (High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program) finished a new experiment Tuesday, scanning Asteroid 2010 XC15 which is about the size of a football field.

“We will be analyzing the data over the next few weeks and hope to publish the results in the coming months,” said Mark Haynes, lead investigator on the project and a radar systems engineer at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California. “This experiment was the first time an asteroid observation was attempted at such low frequencies.

Those radar-imaging programs don’t provide information about an asteroid’s interior, however. They use signals of short wavelengths, which bounce off the surface and provide high-quality external images but don’t penetrate an object.

Long wavelength radio signals can reveal the interior of objects.

HAARP, using three powerful generators, began transmitting chirping signals of long wavelength at 2 a.m. Tuesday and continued sending them uninterrupted until the scheduled end of the 12-hour experiment.

The University of New Mexico Long Wavelength Array near Socorro, New Mexico, and the Owens Valley Radio Observatory Long Wavelength Array near Bishop, California, are also involved in the experiment.

HAARP has been long suspected of weather modification along with other stations capable of radiating the ionosphere. 300 different amateur scientists reported receiving this asteroid scan's signal across 6 continents.

Could there be other effects to our atmosphere and weather as a result of these tests?
