Operation Black March

Posted onAuthorTruXter1 Comment

Operation Black March, if you haven’t heard. Is a call to the public around the world to not stand for the laws that are being created in every country.
The motive is to tell the people funding these law makers, that we will stop buying their products to fund them to fund the law makers.

This is in response to sopa,pipa,acta and the like while the owners of megaupload were arrested, a judge in Florida shuts down a website for defamation and while France is going after Google because Google gives their maps away for free.

Many are comparing this to the gas boycotts and how useless those were.
Which that is a poor comparison.
Best explained as
by PpcLock on Reddit.

As similar as it may sound to the boycott gas thing.

It is very different and will have a definite impact.

The gas boycotts: last for one day, you will just get gas the next day, and the store will have one low day and one extremely high day. No loss

Media black outs : You don’t have to get media. You can make it to work and you will not be like a homeless guy at a buffet, when the blackout ends.

Operation Black March. An attempt to show the media content owners who pays their bills. and who should not be making the rules.

A Stalking Website?

Posted onAuthorTruXter

I was just notified that I was listed on a website “spokeo.com”.
They have every single house I ever lived in, listed.
They have me listed at some crazy high amount of income. They show photos of my house from the street. and they show how many people live in my house and their age.
I thought these “find people” websites had a legal standard of what information they could show?
The person who told me this was a sister of mine. She had to move from the area she was living in because of something that happened to her daughter. Needless to say, they never caught the guys, but they occasionally get mail from one or two of them bragging about what they did. So my sister moved. Now she is getting mail from them again. The guy(s) even told her how they found her. and yes they list her daughter there also, and her daughter’s age.

My sister requested herself removed and my mother and everyone else she knew the address of. Spokeo sent a removal confirmation email, but they are all still listed on that site.
I had to locate every home I lived in with in the past 20 years.
I am still listed on their stalking website.
I am legally unlisted. So how they obtained my information clearly was illegal.
Possibly bought and sold a thousand times over.

To remove yourself from Spokeo go to spokeo.com/contact
go to the drop down menu select “privacy”. type in your name. Do not type in your phone number
Tell them to remove you from the list, and leave a link to the page(s) your are listed on.
There sometimes will be a second page with spot for you to post the link and type in a confirmation code.
I didn’t get that confirmation code, but my sister did. Could be because she removed a lot of people.

Everyone please report this website after you request yourself removed from their listing.
Report them to Google as intrusive, report them to bing as intrusive and posting your personal information.
Get them removed from search engines because what they provide should be illegal.
This site could lead to possible identity theft at the least.
Internet security needs to be a bit more secure than this.
This is how you report a bad website.
Here is another form to report a bad website.
Not sure if either of those will do the trick though. If you have a better link, please post it below.

Here is the confirmation email they sent me.

Dear Spokeo User,

Your directory listing(s) have been removed as requested. Please allow 24 hours to see this change.

Thank you for your patience.

Sincerely,
Nancy
Customer Support Specialist

You have me listed , I have registered through the Texas state to not be listed in any directories, paper or electronic, other than state officials only. You have every home I have lived in before and after I registered with the state. You might be in violation of federal law. I would like to know who you got my contact information from. They themselves are in violation also. please email me contact information of who gave you my information. as you know, I have to do my research before I bring in a third party. Just as you have to verify who you are listing before you just list. I prefer my privacy.

To the readers of this post, If you have a friend or family member listed on that site and you know they are not tech savvy, please request their information be removed from that site, for them. Please help stop this company from intrusion. Please re-post this on your Facebook account or Twitter account, or email this link to family members.

And yes you can request your information be made private from news, public listings and anything not you or the government. In Texas you have to talk to the Department of Public Safety. It’s a short form. I was in and out pretty quick. Did it back in 1996.

Reasons not to Aprove the H.R.6123

Posted onAuthorTech News

For those who do not know what the H.R.6123 bill is, let me break it down for you.
There was a girl who was stalked , and flirted with by a woman pretending to be a boy the same age as the girl. The woman was the mother of another girl who lost a cheer leading contest to the stalked girl. The woman flirted with the stalked girl then one day got very cold and mean to the girl. Girl killed herself. Here is the bill on Open Congress.
I totally agree that the family of the child who killed herself need some sort of comfort knowing the death of their child can be turned into something good. I would want the same, but these people who are backing this do not understand how the internet works. The description is to broad and vague. There are tons of boys and girls who learn so much every day with just a simple battle of witts. Arguing, flaming and trolling on the internet. It opens their minds to a new range of thought. Without conflict and contrast, we all agree. If we all agree we do not learn from each other. Some people learn from a pleasant suggestion, many learn from brute force. Telling someone they are a moron for thinking the world is flat, pretty much tells the world ” hey don’t bother with this thread, this guys is a joke” . If it was not for the flamers, our world would only be trolls.
Here is an explanation of a troll .
Trolls are people who post false information, not always to harm anyone, but to just get some sort of thrill out of confusing people, or misleading and or misinforming. Flamers are people who tell them to “stfu gtfo” if “H.R.6123″ is passed, then the trolls are left and the flamers are lobotomized. The problem of the troll or some corrupt evil rude person is left to the owner of the site to liable for.
The last frontier will have a flag in it that claims ” you can not argue, you can not fight you will go to jail”.

This bill needs to be scrapped. In fact, any bill that The ex president’s wife tries to pass is a publicity stunt and needs to be looked at again, she is the one who backed jack Thompson, and then stopped associating as soon as she ran for president. She just used that Censorship stunt to get the attention of the elderly who have no idea what computers are good for . People who lived full happy lives without it. But forgot that by the time she hit the polls, the kids she turned against, where old enough to vote now.

This “H.R.6123” needs to be rejected and a statue of the girl harmed needs to be put up at her school in her memory. The school is where it started. Let’s not remove the world’s freedom for the satisfaction of revenge on one lady. What one calls a bully, others call em a punk. Know there are things going on that balance it 90% of the time.

Notice I say no one’s name.. In case this bill is accepted.
