Book excerpt: A Story of Big Tech Censorship and Bias and the Fight to Save Our Country The madness of Google's attempt to mold our reality into a version dictated by their corporate values has never been portrayed better than in this chilling account by Google whistleblower, Zach Vorhies. As a senior engineer at Zach watched in horror from the inside as the 2016 election of Donald Trump drove Google into a frenzy of censorship and political manipulation. The American ideal of an honest, hard-fought battle of ideas—when the contest is over, shaking hands and working together to solve problems—was replaced by a different, darker ethic alien to this country's history as wave after of censorship destroyed free speech and entire market sectors. Working with New York Times bestselling author Kent Heckenlively (Plague of Corruption), Vorhies and Heckenlively weave a tale of a tech industry once beloved by its central figure for its innovation and original thinking, turned into a terrifying “woke-church” of censorship and political intolerance. For Zach, an intuitive counter-thinker, brought up on the dystopian futures of George Orwell, Aldous Huxley, and Ray Bradbury, it was clear that Google was attempting nothing less than a seamless rewriting of the operating code of reality in which many would not be allowed to participate. Using Google's own internal search engine, Zach discovered their real "AI-Censorship" system called “Machine Learning Fairness,” which he claims is a merging of critical race theory and AI that was secretly released on their users of search, news and YouTube. He collected and released 950 pages of these documents to the Department of Justice and to the public in the summer of 2019 through Project Veritas with James O'Keefe, which quickly became their most popular whistleblower story, which started a trend of big whistleblowing. From Google re-writing their news algorithms to target Trump to using human tragedy emergencies to inject permanent blacklists, Zach and Kent provide a “you are there” perspective on how Google turned to the dark side to seize power. They finish by laying out a solution to fight censorship. Read this book if you care to know how Google tries to manipulate, censor, and downrank the voice of its users.

What many users don't realize is that the deceptively simple components that make Google so easy to use are the same features that generously unlock security flaws for the malicious hacker.

Download or read book Google War written by David Alexander and published by Triumvirate Publications. This book was released on 2022-02-23 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bestselling author David Alexander has penned what critics hail as the ultimate thriller/technothriller. GOOGLE WAR is the result of groundbreaking authorship by an author whose last novel is always the next novel of the competition, and whose next novel goes far beyond what others even conceive as possible. "As with all other thrillers by David Alexander, the "techno" aspect in no way overshadows the "thriller" part. Here too, the author has developed characters and situations that take Google War giant steps beyond conventional thriller fare, projecting scenarios that extrapolate the future from present situations with an uncanny sense of the probable ... it's as if David Alexander wrote this thriller as dictated by his crystal ball." -- Daily News Virtually everything in GOOGLE WAR, every element of plot and characterization, every riff and hook of story, is based on actual events, technologies and in some cases, personalities and the threads of its plot have been deliberately interwoven to project a forward-looking scenario at threats and solutions. One of the themes of the novel is the threat to human society posed by artificial intelligence, a so-called Terminator Effect. The threat from AI includes that described from neuromorphic technologies, which can bridge the gap between machine intelligence and the human nervous system. "While many of the scenes bear an eerie resemblance to contemporary events -- a viral pandemic whose causes are murky, the hunt for and killing of a terrorist chieftain guilty of genocidal crimes, the waging of distant littoral operations in remote regions of the world, the battles in Congress, the Pentagon and White House to cope with growing insurgency – the story is so exciting precisely because it mirrors rather than apes headlines or regurgitates current events. Nor is this a "Jack Armstrong" or even "Jack Ryan" saga, relying on superficial and often laughably naive knowledge of military, political, geostrategic, technological and cultural trends that are at the very core of the exciting and well informed story that features in Google War." --Times of London GOOGLE WAR is continued proof of Author David Alexander's uncanny ability to create riveting fiction that reads like a headline New York Times story. "It's as if Alexander has a crystal ball and uses it to sneak a peak at world-changing events before they happen, then write it as fiction." The New York Times called GOOGLE WAR by David Alexander "...perhaps the best thriller of its type to have come along all year!" USA Today applauded author David Alexander, declaring that "Among the possible three finest thriller authors today, Alexander easily takes first place." In GOOGLE WAR, terrorism, cyberwar, biowar and robotic war combine into the rolling thunder of advanced hybrid war. This is a fifth generation form of warfare that attacks through 5G systems of the global Internet and makes all other types of warfare obsolete. When this storm gets rolling everyone is a combatant and everything can potentially become an enemy weapon. Even the human brain is not immune to the invasion of weaponized nanoparticles that can take control of the human nervous system and turn victims into humanoid robots programmed to kill. "'Where exactly David Alexander gets his ideas from, we can't say. What we can say is that this author is light years ahead of just about any other thriller author in the world and promises to continue on a rocketing trajectory into the farthest reaches of novelistic fame. Most amazingly, Alexander appears not to owe literary dues to anyone who has come before; he is a creative law unto himself, inventing everything as if he had a magician's ability to pull entire worlds out of an upturned top hat then make it all magically disappear in a puff of smoke. At thriller writing, David Alexander is a wizard. As an author with scores of great novels to his credit, he is also a one-man industrial giant." --Kirkus Reviews "Always the consummate prose stylist, David Alexander also speaks tech talk like no other. What's more, the tech specs are undoubtedly real, including those that pertain to ostensibly stolen or covertly obtained Russian and Chinese weapons that have been reverse-engineered by [US military technology development agency] DARPA. Alexander's security clearance is probably higher than the president's, and his knowledge of military systems better than any three members of the joint chiefs of staff," said New York Newsday of David Alexander's blockbuster thriller, GWAR. In page after page of this startling, revolutionary technothriller, Alexander makes bold proclamations that while portrayed as fiction, may be more than that. GOOGLE WAR. By author David Alexander.

Download or read book Location Awareness in the Age of Google Maps written by Rebecca Noone and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-07-12 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Location Awareness in the Age of Google Maps explores the mundane act of navigating cities in the age of digital mapping infrastructures. Noone follows the frictions routing through Google Maps’ categorising and classifying of spatial information. Complicating the assumption that digital maps distort a sense of direction, Noone argues that Google Maps’ location awareness does more than just organise and orient a representation of space—it also organises and orients imaginaries of publicness, selfsufficiency, legibility, and error. At the same time, Location Awareness in the Age of Google Maps helps to animate the ordinary ways people are challenging and refusing Google Maps’ vision of the world. Drawing on an arts-based field study spanning the streets of London, New York, London, Toronto, and Amsterdam, Noone’s encounters of "asking for directions" open up lines of inquiry and spatial scores that cut through Google‘s universal mapping project. Location Awareness in the Age of Google Maps will be essential reading for information studies and media studies scholars and students with an interest in embodied information practices, critical information studies, and critical data studies. The book will also appeal to an urban studies audience engaged in work on the digital city and the datafication of urban environments.
