by*rose

15 hours ago

This was posted this morning on another site as we all tried to comment on youtube - we cannot do this now without joining GOOGLE+. Google plus will CONTROL EVERYTHING. This is important information - please read and pass on. *All your private details - including every photo you ever posted will be there for all to see. *Think about this. *Even everything you ever bought on EBay will also be there for all to see.

Ditch Youtube, ditch skype, twitter.... wake up. This is internet control

WARNING FOR GOOGLE / YOUTUBE USERSPosted by*ghost hacked*on November 8, 2013 at 9:03 in*Human Rights*(Change)

Background on me.

Using the net since 1995.

Built every PC I have owned aside from my first one in 95.

Honours Degree in PC systems and networking 2001

Degree in website design 2002.(both degrees essentially out of date due to advancement in tech)

Five years call center experience (residential and commercial, email abuse incidents and courtesy calls)

Six years IT support and systems analyst for Canada's largest grocer supporting warehouse and supply chain as well as some retail and office support IT infrastructure. In many cases there is no way I can even keep up on all this, for those who have little real knowledge, I feel very bad for you and sympathize greatly.

So now you know this rant is coming from a person who knows what the hell they are talking about. I know IT systems, I know how they are used, I know the privacy issues related to them. I know they are all interconnected and cross referenced.

Your online privacy has not existed for some time. But now they are sticking their fingers in your eyes to show that most of you won't do a damn ****ing thing about it.

The time has come and you have no other way to post on Youtube if you do not also enable your Google+ webpage. You are being forced to use a google plus page.* This way all your **** is cross referenced on their servers.* Only time before you need your Facebook and twitter accounts all connected too.

Some of my beefs here may be over the top, but websites peeves me off these days in how they are designed and laid out.

More fluff that is not needed and a design interface to make you run around in circles just trying to find a setting you want to change. The changes on YT are frustrating. All these changes are geared towards better compatibility and such for mobile platforms (ipads smartphones tablets ect)

So along with the privacy and tech issues, the web layout and design keeps changing, and not to make it more user friendly.* You should never have to click more than 3 times to get to the information you want. You need a proper index and category titles. Also clicking my Youtube icon name will bring the drop down for your inbox. But other drop downs that contain the other items do not contain the inbox. Yay consistency.

I have had enough of this ****e from Youtube and Google and will be migrating over to another service.* I have opened up a trutube account and may open a Vimeo account.

The real kick in my butt is my Rogers email acount (Canada) is hosted in California by Yahoo. So yay backdoor NSA access to all. Rogers tec says, sure make a complaint on the page.I do, and I get SORRY PAGE NOT FOUND ... are you kidding me?

IF you value your privacy at all, discontinue using these products. Your information is their revenue. We all knew that, but now they are making it very clear.

The thing is even here *were we DO value your privacy, it simply cannot be guaranteed knowing how the Internet is getting clamped down on. This site may be safe, but where you are connecting from or through, may not be.

IF you DO use these products, be aware, VERY aware of what you are being forced into. Read the fine print people. READ it.

You want your Internet ID??* Here it is.

I won't need to give you screenshots, if you log into Google or Youtube in the next week it WILL happen and you HAVE to accept or you CANNOT use it. Also if you do a search logged into google, your searches are archived. A simple test, do a search logged in, then click on one of the results and watch the address bar.* It archives something on Google before you get to the page. Indexes it or some **** and associated it with your account name.

And regardless if you chose to not put monetary value on your Youtube channel (aka no ads so no revenue for me) Youtube STILL makes money off you.*

Yourube, your content is their revenue.

Facebook, your content is their revenue.

Twitter, your content is their revenue.*

All these entities have IPOs where shares are bought and sold on the open market. These IPOs would not exist if you did not use their services.

Can you tell I am peeved?

This is one of the things I brought up with the company I used to work for. I was laid off about two months ago. Their email will be switched to Microsoft MS Office365 (cloud based) and the ONLY Office 365 datacenter is in Chicago Ill.* Initially when I confronted my superiors on it, they lied to me and said the server was in Canada.* I asked the MS rep directly on a national scale conference call where the servers were and got a different answer from her.

I could have lost my job over this, but I had been making a stink about many things for a long ****ing time.* Make too much of a stink and you get shown the door.

We might as well just give them our personel details as they will find them by stealth anyway.

I've been unhappy about the way Google has been going for some time, so this isn't too surprising, but thanks all the same.

Now the taxman is spying on your home using Google Earth: Satellite images give clues about wealth and lifestyle that may show you're not paying enough
Officials will feed data into a supercomputer to investigate taxpayers
They can also add in data from social networks like Facebook
Revenue inspectors are using Google maps to spy on homes and trap suspected tax dodgers.
Images from Google Earth, which allows users to zoom in on satellite views of properties, give the taxman clues about lifestyles and wealth, such as cars and home improvements.
Officials at HM Revenue & Customs will feed the data into a supercomputer to try to decide whether to investigate homeowners already believed to be paying too little tax.

Google Earth is the latest weapon in HMRC’s battle to close a £35billion gap between what it believes individuals and companies owe and the tax that is actually collected.
It says tax evasion and the hidden economy – customers not paying VAT on home repairs, for example – cost the UK taxpayer £9billion a year. HMRC has spent nearly £1billion over the past three years trying to enforce the rules.
Over the past 18 months, it has set up dozens of taskforces to probe the tax receipts and business practices of industries as diverse as restaurants, private cab firms, hairdressers, outdoor markets, car dealerships and even Avon Ladies.
It has also spent £50million on the supercomputer, which is called Connect.
