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.

Download or read book An Investigation of Privacy Leaks in Android Applications written by Jeremy Lee Erickson and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As mobile devices become more widespread and powerful, they store more sensitive data, which include not only personal user information but also data collected via sensors on the device. When mobile applications have access to this sensitive information, they may leak it accidentally or by malicious design. Google's Android operating system provides a permissions-based security model that restricts an application's access to sensitive data. Each application statically declares the sensitive data and functionality that it requires in a manifest, which is presented to the user for approval during installation. However, it is difficult to determine how sensitive data will be used once the application has been installed. To address this problem, we present AndroidLeaks, a static analysis framework for automatically finding potential leaks of sensitive information in Android applications on a massive scale. AndroidLeaks leverages Android's permission scheme to identify sources of private data, then performs taint-aware slicing to determine if private data will be leaked via a network sink. We evaluated AndroidLeaks on 24,350 Android applications from several Android markets. AndroidLeaks found 57,299 potential privacy leaks in 7,414 Android applications, of which we have manually verified that 2,342 applications leak private data, including phone information, GPS location, Wi-Fi data, and audio recorded with the microphone. While previous work, such as TaintDroid, has effectively analyzed the data leakage of a small set of applications, no previous Android analysis tool has been able to effectively evaluate the leakage of a large set of applications in a reasonable amount of time. AndroidLeaks examined these applications in 30 hours, which indicates that it is capable of scaling to the rate at which new applications are developed. As ad code makes up a substantial percentage of the overall leaks that we discovered, we further investigated thirteen ad libraries. We discovered that ad libraries will frequently attempt to access sensitive content beyond that which is required to target ads, such as a user's contact book or calendar. Further, we identified four ad libraries that introduce a vulnerability to any application in which they are included. By exploiting this vulnerability, an attacker can instruct a user's device to perform various actions including placing a phone call, sending an SMS or email, and modifying contact and calendar entries. We propose solutions to problems caused by the lack of privilege separation between application code and ad code and discuss difficulties in addressing the vulnerabilities we discovered.

Download or read book Design and Implementation of Google Cloud Framework for Monitoring Water Distribution Networks written by Bhavana Hodasalu Sadananda and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With urbanization and growing human population, water demand is constantly on the rise. Due to limited water resources, providing access to fresh potable water to the rising needs is challenging. Water distribution systems are the main arteries that supply fresh water to all the house-holds, offices and industries. Various factors such as excessive water pressure, aging or environmental disturbances, e.g., from road traffic, can all contribute to damage of water distribution pipelines and can result in leaks in water distribution networks (WDN). This could in turn result in financial loss and could pose additional challenges in providing potable water to the entire community, sometimes even leading to contaminant intrusion. Traditional leak detection methods such as visual inspections can detect leaks; however, this method is reactive in nature and can result in potentially losing large amounts of water before intervention strategies can be employed. On the other hand, hardware-based inspection techniques can accurately detect leaks, but are labor intensive, time consuming, expensive and effective only for short distances. Some existing software techniques are less expensive; however, their effectiveness depends on the accuracy of data collected and operating conditions. Modern existing leak detection techniques based on Internet of Things (IoT)-consisting of data collection sensor sub system, internet connectivity and a decision making sub system-alleviate many issues associated with hardware and software methods, however they are considered to scale poorly and face security issues, fault tolerance issues, inter-operability issues, insufficient storage and processing abilities to store and process large quantities of real time data captured by the sensor sub systems. As a potential solution to these issues, this thesis deals with the application of a cloud-based leak detection system within the overarching concept of IoT. A detailed design and implementation of Google Cloud Platform (GCP) which can provide scalable, secure data processing system to analyze both real-time and batch data collected from IoT devices monitoring a WDN is presented. To circumvent the issue of access to a live WDN, the proposed system uses emulators, python Hyper Text Transport Protocol (HTTP) client running on a computer and a python HTTP client running on an IoT device (Raspberry Pi 3) to simulate live streams of acoustic pressure data from hydrophone sensors. Since the data itself was collected from a live WDN, the decision-making subsystem mimics results expected from live WDN data. The data ingestion layer on GCP incorporates two types of authentication: OAuth2.0 authentication and Application Program Interface (API) key authentication along with other GCP components using service account features to ensure end-to-end secure data processing. Decision support sub-system includes simple, yet powerful algorithm, namely the one class support vector machine (OCSVM) with non-linear radial basis function (RBF) kernel. It is shown in this thesis that GCP provides a scalable and fault tolerant infrastructure at every stage of data life cycle such as data ingestion, storage, processing and results visualization. The implementation in this thesis demonstrates the applicability of the leak detection IoT framework and the concept of a cloud based IoT solution for leak detection in WDN, which is the first demonstration of its kind to the author's knowledge.
