What about Condaleezza Rice and Dropbox?

<< < (2/4) > >>

app103:
The problem is that an NSA spy named John Doe could work for anyone and you would not know it. It's more likely that if they were going to spy on you, they'd use someone with a name you don't know, maybe 20 names you don't know, and wherever they sent them in, those that run the service wouldn't know it either.

Did you know the name Ed Snowden before he came forward and spilled the beans? I didn't. But the fact remains that he was spying for the NSA.

They could have a spy working at the supermarket where you shop, spying on customer purchasing data, connected to actual names through the use of those little loyalty/discount cards. They could have a spy working at your local library. They could have a spy working for your employer. How would you know if they did or didn't?

I think the more important issue is how comfortable you feel storing your data anywhere, not just on those servers in which you know you can access backups that linger, like Dropbox.

No matter where you store it, there will be backups. No matter where you store it, there could be a spy.

I am not saying this to make anyone paranoid, just stating a reality that has existed for a very long time.

I think about the only highly popular internet service that can be confirmed not to have kept backups of their users' data was Ma.gnolia. And we know how that turned out. But even they could have had a spy working there, while they were still running, and none of us would have known it, and even those that ran Ma.gnolia wouldn't have known it.

So, you are either going to live your life afraid of the Boogey Man everywhere you turn. Or you are just going to live your life and only worry about confirmed Boogey Man sightings. And the Boogey man's name isn't Condaleezza Rice. The last big confirmed Boogey Man sighting, the name was Ed Snowden.  ;)

There are lots of Boogey Men. Lots. (Snowden just shone a flashlight on what some Boogey Men did.)

Via Techdirt, let's have a look at a few:

Dropbox is most closely related to the Comcast & Media Venn diagrams.

Those diagrams are a bit older, and slanted, but it doesn't matter (more here and here - text only) - industry loves to have govt. insiders on their payroll. 

Condaleeza is no exception. It's not going to turn out well for anyone except her and her employer.

Dropbox will lobby for more regulations to "protect people's privacy". Those regulations will include Trojan horses like they always do. The end will be a disaster, just like it always is.

CR will help facilitate that.

Just as an example, Dropbox may lobby for government oversight or licensing of public or private file storage services, or some kind of additional "security measure" that companies would have to meet (possibly in order to be licensed). Maybe it's for privacy, or security, or "think of the children" - there will be some BS reason. That would create additional overhead for anyone looking to get into that business, which favours the incumbents - convenient for Dropbox. Meanwhile, some clauses or phrase in there is corrupted to further allow the erosion of privacy or that will criminalise something and instantaneously create millions of "criminals" out of thin air so that more prisons can be built (think of the jobs!) and be filled (more jobs!).

But you don't need to be a war criminal - you just need to be a corrupt District of Criminals insider. (BTW - that's a doubly-pleonastic phrase.)

It's influence peddling - that's all.

The job she should be doing is peeling potatoes in a prison kitchen.

She's got a point there folks ... Not to mention that keeping people spooked, off-balance, and afraid of each other is all part of "the game".

Part of the game?  That is the game...!

Ya, life would sure be boring if didn't have some boogie man stories.

James Corbett of TheCorbettReport recently put out a good report about the FED (Century of Enslavement on his video page). That, and reports about Bilderberg group are fascinating. But the one that tipped me off most so far, "All Wars are Banker Wars". That explains best what the "game" is all about to me.
