Wellcome to Ecuador https://www.lonelyplanet.com/ecuador --- Internet Trolls May be Trained Government Agents According to Leaked Document by Brian Shilhavy Health Impact News Editor Glenn Greenwald, a journalist, constitutional lawyer, commentator, and author of three New York Times best-selling books on politics and law, has been working with NBC News in publishing a series of articles on how covert government agents infiltrate the Internet to “manipulate, deceive, and destroy reputations.” The information is based on documents leaked by National Security Agency (NSA) whistleblower Edward Snowden. Greenwald’s article, How Covert Agents Infiltrate the Internet to Manipulate, Deceive, and Destroy Reputations, is based on four classified documents produced by the British spy agency GCHQ, and presented to the NSA and three other English speaking agencies reportedly part of “The Five Eyes Alliance.” https://healthimpactnews.com/2014/i...vernment-agents-according-to-leaked-document/ --- Pay-to-play, sometimes pay-for-play, is a phrase used for a variety of situations in which money is exchanged for services or the privilege to engage in certain activities. The common denominator of all forms of pay-to-play is that one must pay to "get in the game", with the sports analogy frequently arising. Bribery is the act of giving or receiving something of value in exchange for some kind of influence or action in return, that the recipient would otherwise not offer. Bribery is defined by Black's Law Dictionary as the offering, giving, receiving, or soliciting of any item of value to influence the actions of an official or other person in charge of a public or legal duty.[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pay_to_play https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bribery Bribery Is Illegal, Pay To Play Is Not.

John Stossel | 10.2.2019 12:30 AM I now make my living by releasing short videos on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. I assumed you who subscribed to my feed or became Facebook "friends" would receive that video every Tuesday. Wrong! Turns out social media companies send our posts to only some of our friends. (That's why I ask for your email address. Then they can't cut us off.) Why might they cut us off? One reason is that we'd drown in a fire hose of information if they showed us everything. The companies' algorithms cleverly just send us what the computer determines we'll like. Another reason may be that the companies are biased against conservative ideas. They deny that. But look at their actions. Social media companies say they forbid posts that "promote violence," including ones that encourage violence offline. But antifa groups that promote violence still have accounts. The Twitter account of the group in Portland, Oregon, that recently beat up journalist Andy Ngo, leaving him with brain damage, is still up. "In Austin, they were calling for a paramilitary operation!" says Glenn Beck. That antifa group's Facebook account is also still up, even though it links to a manifesto calling for opponents to be "beaten bloody." In my newest video, Beck, who runs a big media operation called The Blaze, says social media companies push a leftist agenda. "They manipulate algorithms to reshape our world." Beck himself hasn't been banned, but he says Facebook limits his reach, putting him in a "digital ghetto." "They're shaping you," he warns. Is it true? https://reason.com/2019/10/02/all-speech-should-be-free/?utm_medium=email --- https://www.refdesk.com/ -
