What Facebook Thinks of You: “There is no privacy”

Courts, Facebook, privacy

That’s what they said in Court, to a judge.

A lawyer for Facebook argued in court Wednesday that the social media site’s users “have no expectation of privacy.”

According to Law360, Facebook attorney Orin Snyder made the comment while defending the company against a class-action lawsuit over the Cambridge Analytica scandal.

“There is no invasion of privacy at all, because there is no privacy,” Snyder said.

In an attempt to have the lawsuit thrown out, Snyder further claimed that Facebook was nothing more than a “digital town square” where users voluntarily give up their private information.

Now, who out in the town square of old, sold your PRIVATE information, that you may or may not have willingly divulged, to the highest bidder? The first equivalent I came up with was ye old pickpocket.

Maybe Watch Out for These Particular Pols

2020, GOP, Nikki Haley

Nimrata hits another war trail.

And while many former Trump officials, from former White House chief of staff John Kelly to former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, have kept a low profile in the private sector, Haley is charting a different course. She is emerging as a fundraiser and surrogate for 2020 Republican Senate candidates, and next month will begin zigzagging across the country to campaign for a trio of GOP senators.

OTH, the Iowa BBQ sounds fun.

Western Civ is Going Already

2033, America, deep decline, Paul Craig Roberts, The West

PCR has some observations to cheer a 60’s radical. Sorry if you’re not one of those. Part of this is oddly similar to the opposite of my plan to end terrorism, namely by 1) not bothering them, over there, and 2) by just leaving them over there.

What we are experiencing is the failure of government at all levels. Huge sums are being spent on wars and the fomenting of wars while Los Angeles faces the prediction of a typhus epidemic. For two decades the US has spent trillions of dollars on wars in the Middle East in behalf of Israel. Washington calls it “the war on terror,” which is a cover story that hides the real agenda and motivation of violence that has killed, maimed, orphaned and displaced millions of Muslims. One consequence of these senseless wars has been to radicalize Muslims against Americans and Europeans even as the US and Europe import millions of displaced Muslims into their countries.

Countries without a homogeneous population are already disadvantaged by disunity, but to bring in massive numbers of peoples who have every reason to hate you is insanity. Once here, the hatred is weaponized against white people by Identity Politics.

If a country decided to self-destruct, it would do precisely what the US and Europe have done. This is the serious problem, not Iran, North Korea, Venezuela, Syria, Russia, China. It is likely the case that Identity Politics is now so entrenched in American institutions, such as the New York school system ( https://nypost.com/2019/05/28/bombshell-suit-claims-carranzas-toxic-whiteness-purge-cost-doe-execs-their-jobs/ ), that disunity is now a permanent feature of the United States.

The largely unacknowledged problems that the US faces would overwhelm even a unified country. For a country as disunited as America, it is difficult to see any favorable odds.

Just something to think about, maybe live with/in, this Friday morning. Happy final day of May!

Paying for the Wall?

Mexico, tariffs, the wall, Trump

I’m not sure how much money it will raise, but Mr. Trump vows new tariffs on all things MEX:

In a surprise announcement that could derail a major trade deal, President Donald Trump announced Thursday that he is slapping a 5% tariff on all Mexican imports, effective June 10, to pressure the country to do more to crack down on the surge of Central American migrants trying to cross the U.S. border.

He said the percentage will gradually increase — up to 25% — “until the Illegal Immigration problem is remedied.”

Was this a January 2017 oversight item? Anyway, better late than never.

Disney Out of Georgia Too?

abortion, Disney, Georgia, law

We can only hope so. Following Netflix, the Mouse isn’t too happy about kids living in the Peach State.

Bob Iger said it would be “very difficult” for Disney to keep filming in Georgia if the state enacts a new abortion law.

In an interview with Reuters, the CEO of the Walt Disney Co. said he had doubts the company would continue production in Georgia if the controversial ban on abortion in the state comes into effect, primarily as the company’s employees would be against it.

“I think many people who work for us will not want to work there, and we will have to heed their wishes in that regard. Right now we are watching it very carefully,” Iger told Reuters.

The exec added that if the law does come into effect, he didn’t “see how it’s practical for us to continue to shoot there.”

Disney’s prospective withdrawal from production in Georgia would be a huge blow to the state. Recently, Disney’s Marvel Studios filmed portions of both Black Panther and Avengers: Endgame in Georgia.

Again, I fail to see a downside to this. People should be boycotting the Rat on their own. What would Walt say? We know Vox Day’s thoughts:

All Iger’s stupid threat makes me think is that abortion opponents should go after Florida next. Let’s see if Disney is converged enough to shut down Disney World.

Now, that would be real SJW-ing. Do it, Iger!

The Devil’s Still Down On Georgia

The freaks and degenerates at Netflix contemplate abandoning their tax breaks in Georgia.

The only company to respond to Variety’s inquiries was Netflix. “We have many women working on productions in Georgia, whose rights, along with millions of others, will be severely restricted by this law,” Ted Sarandos, Netflix’s chief content officer, said in an exclusive statement. “It’s why we will work with the ACLU and others to fight it in court. Given the legislation has not yet been implemented, we’ll continue to film there, while also supporting partners and artists who choose not to. Should it ever come into effect, we’d rethink our entire investment in Georgia.” CBS referred Variety to comments made by its entertainment president Kelly Kahl, who said at the network’s recent upfront presentation that he would monitor the bill’s progress toward becoming law.

Governor Kemp, don’t wait. Strike them first. Halt the tax breaks. Then, make it a felony for any entertainment production or distribution company, that engages in or supports child molestation, to operate (filming, streaming, existing in, etc.) in Georgia. Netflix would be banned.  (Yes, they are probably subject to existing law; the DOJ will surely turn a blind eye, Georgia need not).

Wherein Latin Rides to the Rescue of American Education – From TPC

classics, education, Latin, TPC

The Memorial Day weekend of 2019 has passed us by. Summer approaches. All across the Several States, mortarboard-wearing students graduate from the high schools. Many have had their intellectual faculties turned off since fifth grade, disengaged as much by the education system itself as by hormones, peer pressure, or electronic distractions.

 

In his 2017 book, Out of the Ashes: Rebuilding American Culture, Anthony Esolen noted two primary problems with America’s government school system: “There are only two things wrong with our schools: everything that our children don’t learn there and everything they do. The public schools, with their vast political and bureaucratic machinery, are beyond reform.” Ch. 3, pages 68-69.

 

His suggestion in the same paragraph I had already taken action on, even before reading the same – my own mission in partibus furibundis. But, the raging may as well have been against Stone Mountain; I’m worn out and it’s still there, unchanged.

 

A burrito is a terrible thing to waste…

Esolen’s observations are correct. Last year, before I commenced my grand experiment (of which, more will be revealed sooner or later), I had already reached a similar conclusion. I presented some novel suggestions in the spirit of remediation. To those I now add proposed solutions to address Esolen’s dual issues.

5,400 Reasons to Rethink the “Smart” Phone

1984, iPhone, phones, privacy, spying

Keep in mind, this resulted from a scan of a single man’s iPhone:

Monitoring software used by The Washington Post on an ordinary iPhone found that no fewer than 5,400 app trackers were sending data from the phone – in some cases including sensitive data like location and phone number.

It wasn’t too long ago that people paid a little extra for an unlisted phone number. You know, for a little more privacy. What a 180. If this concerns you – and why I bother with stories like this, I really don’t know – then consider a Faraday cage, some other signal blocker, or a dumb phone (no phone if you can manage and don’t mind). Or not.

A few things:

A new TPC column is in the hopper. It will covertly bring to light a project I’ve been working on, in addition to being excellent reading.

Several major projects have been underway and more are kicking off. More on that later.

The 7th anniversary of this “highly respected web log” is right around the corner.

A hot, busy summer awaits. Stay tuned.

Europeans Rise, Eurocrats Panic

EU, Europe, nationalism, The West

Europe begins to save itself from the globalist hordes.

Parties committed to closer European Union integration began bargaining over jobs and policy on Monday after an election to the EU parliament which fragmented the center but gave only limited gains to nationalists.

National leaders of the bloc, many of whom hailed the vote as a vindication, will meet to chart the next steps on Tuesday.

Matteo Salvini, Italian deputy prime minister, leader of the anti-immigration League and potential builder of a far-right alliance across Europe, said his 34% of the Italian national vote was a mandate to rip up euro zone budget austerity rules.

Nigel! Nigel! Nigel! Baby steps, baby steps before the sprint.

As inspirational as this is, remember that Amerika is much, much farther gone. Still, hope abounds.
