Sometimes your private Information can be accessed by others, either just routinely or else through malicious means. This can happen without your awareness or consent, and it is important to have data security that will protect against the unexpected holes with the current security measures you have.

Data security provides the most comprehensive and impenetrable amount of protection that can be applied to your sensitive information, documents or corporate files.

There are two different approaches to consider when familiarizing yourself with data security systems, for both individuals and for businesses. There are the software based ones as well as hardware components.

You may have heard of encryption. This is the most common form of data security, and it is the easiest and fastest way to store and retrieve data. A program will encode your file and the only way to decode it to have access is through a computer generated code that only you will have.

Strong user authentication measures are another way to protect files. These super charged password platforms are advanced and airtight.

They go far beyond just the main login users are familiar with for general applications. These programs will present follow up questions that need to be answered, otherwise the person logging in will be kicked off the system. Having this multi level approach to data protection makes your documents ultra secure.

In addition to providing data security, high level security systems will also back up your data as well. This takes the worry from loosing a hard drive, or having a virus chew through your system or network. Most services do it in real time, or at specific times a day, but the end result is that if something catastrophic happens, your files are protected and easily accessible.

What if all the world’s information would be available and easy to find? What if all the news, all books, all texts, photographs and videos would be collected in one place, and made available, always and everywhere?

This is the goal of Google, and the company seems to be realising its core mission at an amazing speed: through its popular Search engine, through Google Earth, with which users can find any kind of Information based on geography, and through Google Print, a project in which Google digitizes complete libraries.

Google is divulging ever more information, in the process hiring the smartest people in the industry. But is the company aware of the responsibility it has, being the guard to all the world’s information, including personal information about its users?

This documentary takes a look into the world of Google, in the company’s headquarters in Mountain View, California and in its London offices. We see –among others- Vint Cerf, named ‘the father’ of the Internet who explains the inner workings of Google as a company. Since 2004, Cerf has been working for Google, helping them to develop new applications for the Internet. What is his view on the development of the Internet, and on the role Google plays in today’s world?

With its motto ‘Don’t be evil’, Google seems to have the best intentions. But there are also claims that Google is slowly turning into Big Brother, keeping track of its users and continuously making decisions about the information it provides to an ever faster growing number of users.

Will Google turn out to be a new Library of Alexandria, serving as a middleman that brings all useful information to anyone? Or is it turning into a monopolistic Big Brother that challenges the freedom of information?

“The Census Part 2, Clarifications”

Many people have requested the list below:

QUESTIONS THAT THE CENSUS BUREAU REFUSED OR FAILED TO ANSWER (from Jerry Day’s Matrix News Network segment: “The Census Is Getting Personal”):

1) The Constitution authorizes government to count people but it does not authorize the taking of private information or even the names of individuals. From where does the Census Bureau derive authority to demand our private information?

2) Is there any limit to the amount and type of private information that the Census bureau may demand and collect?

3) Under what Constitutional authority does the Census Bureau collect information now from 250,000 people per month of every year?

4) The 4th Amendment to the Constitution prohibits government Search and seizure of private Information without a court warrant based on probable cause, Current Census policies violate that Amendment do they not?

5) By what Constitutional authority does the Census Bureau threaten penalties for failure to provide personal information?

6) The Census Bureau claims it maintains privacy of personal information, Are there any circumstances under which law enforcement or spy agencies can access Census information?

7) Since presumably Census data may be subpoenaed by law enforcement, may individuals refuse to answer questions according to the fifth Amendment?

Why has the Census Bureau decided to collect GPS coordinates for every home?

9) Virtually every government database has been either lost, hacked or compromised, would the Census Bureau’s claim of data security not be an outright lie or at best highly improbable?

10) How would the Census Bureau locate, protect and compensate those individuals whose data becomes compromised?

There is a great deal of confusion about the Census “short form” and “Long Form” because the Census Bureau has failed to equally publicize the two current approaches. Part of the video refers to the long form called the “American Community Survey” which has 12 pages of questions, many of which are much more probing than the short form. A PDF file of the the long form can be viewed at this link: http://www.jerryday.com/images/ACS-1-Stateside-English_web.pdf
