"Google created an image untouchable"

Chareyre Interview with Renaud, researcher and author of Google Spleen.

By Eduardo Febbro.

The great devourer of books and information begins to have some problems with the image of relevance that encrypted their success. Google is the subject of an investigation by the European Union to establish whether the company that manages the search results manipulate data displayed in the browser. The Label of the two "O" comes from a form that is far from coinciding with the honesty and transparency that shaped his image. Europeans suspect Google has long handled the schemes of search engine not only economically disadvantaged but also to establish a monopoly in the market. Giant Double "O" does not seem to honor the company's motto, "Do not be evil." Google has been doing very bad things for some time. In 2006 prepared a self-censored version intended for the Chinese market to save a confrontation with the communist Beijing, then launched a powerful campaign to digitize books with honest intentions do not always later appeared spying mail accounts and access, Internet system with Street View, and finally Google was reported numerous times to spy on Internet users with the objective of creating a custom profile and tailor advertising for different people.

The Department of Competition of the European Commission, by the European Commission Vice President, Joaquin Almunia, today investigating whether Google is not violating the rules of the Treaty on European Union. Last year, the premier UK price comparison, Founder, the online shopping portal Ciao! French law and the search engine Google ejustice.fr incriminated by the way the browser are relegated in the last positions of the search results. Ciao!, In turn, questioned Google about the conditions that set at artificially high advertising rates. In both cases, less noble heart of Google that stands naked. The authorities of the European Union companies and organizations sent a hundred questions to determine whether the company manipulated California or not the results. Renaud

Chareyre has not the slightest doubt of such manipulation. In a thorough profile book, Google Spleen, the researchers crushed the less bright side of Google, the famous system whereby Google AdWords advertising associated with the search results. And the more you pay, appears above. Chareyre Renaud showed that the responses offered by the search are, in fact, handled, passed through the sieve of profit. In this interview with Pagina/12 in Paris, the author of Google Spleen ( www.googlespleen.com ) states practices of a company that makes everything points to a single goal: to make more money with human knowledge.

- Google has always enjoyed a very positive image. For people giant dominates 90 percent of the market for search engines always appeared as the quintessential anti Microsoft. However, little by little, he was like a kind of antidote to the devil began to lose its attributes of an angel.

- Google is an extremely powerful, both economically as image. The Google is a very complex issue, there are many parameters and it is extremely difficult to make people see the reality of Google. With Google we a company that knew how to develop a very effective marketing strategy that helped him build an image almost untouchable, which relies largely on the principle of free solutions proposed. But behind this is the economic model that supports the solutions proposed by Google. This model is unclear. The funder is Google AdWords. The user does not pay when you search. Everything depends on advertising from advertisers who provide budgets in the Google system. Now, the question is how to organize these ads.

- That is because the main form that the response depends on what the advertiser paid or not. That is, if you search on an object that appears first response is regulated according to what the advertiser paid. It is, in short, an organized response by a commercial basis.

- indeed, the AdWords system logic. Google ensures advertisers who paid the highest price appears better placed in the answers. Google is also considering the rate of clicks and modulates its response in terms of it. The mechanisms involved in this process are extremely complex. But we realize that, ultimately, it is Google that decides which list appears on the screen of the Internet and without that advertisers may decide something. Google also decides the classification of the ads. Furthermore, Google Answers vary from one screen to another. The presence or absence of certain advertisements is determined by Google based on the profile of A or B. A user will see on your screen to a particular type of ads while the B will be others.

- This involves constant monitoring.

- Google works with a constant algorithm that analyzes the results of advertising in order to modulate the occurrence or non-sponsored links. The purpose of all this is a permanent model management advertising posters.

- Google is like God is everywhere: we found as search engine as e-mail through G-mail also has its own operating system with Android, we've got as bookworm, in short, is a machine with a single expansionist philosophy.

- Google is a company that makes money on the cognitive relationships. Seek possession of all that can allow an individual to extend their field of expertise to take advantage of it. Hence the logic to propose advertising as known by the user, the profile it was established, the definition of your interests. The same principle applies in relation to the project of digitization of books. Google wants to offer an opening to free culture, but below, this principle allows Google to follow every surfer to your interests. You can learn many things about the books a person reads. You can find out their ideas, tastes, etc. The project to digitize books is a mirror of what Google did with YouTube. Books are placed within reach of people, hence creating a profile of the person and benefits are taken back to advertising. Google will know the favorite authors of each net and, simultaneously, to advertise the books it sells in its online bookstore.

- Many analysts now wonder if perhaps Google did not become something too large a danger to democracy, to the principle of choice.

- The principle of choice, from the moment we know that Google is able to regulate the information provided to the surfer-and all this with an image of relevance, we see immediately that there is a strong threat on consumer choice. This leads us to wonder if this model are still in the market economy, ie a model of free movement of supply and demand. Our thesis, the book is that Google is in a position where it can provide commercial information coverage of the relevance-Internet have a blind trust, to guide the surfer to consumer preferences. At the political level there are also many questions. When we have a tool like Google that can predict the evolution of influenza A in terms of Internet queries to the search engine, we also think that Google is able to anticipate trends in public opinion, trends election. Therefore, Google can regulate the flow of information according to the ideas or opinions.

- What is the greatest secret of Google?

- The first secret is being able to mount an economic system that sells something that does not correspond with what customers buy. The second, thanks to extreme intelligence, is produced an image of extreme relevance. Internet users use Google when in fact there is little relevance in the system. The secret is the image that erases all reality and the inconsistencies in its economic system.

Making (the Panopticon genetic) Buenos Aires

"Juan Vucetich was to say years later that the ID was the legal equivalent of the individual, his perfect representation, the mathematical figure of his individuality .[...] Some years later, that was his pupil, Luis Reyna Almandós came to say that the 'document' and assigning a number to each person was in fact a right, as the number one and only facilitate the existence of individuals, protect your honor of confusion with others and ensure the true identity. Finally he came to propose that for convenience that number was tattooed on the body of each individual. [...]. Then the system Nazi Germany was [also] obsessed with this task identifying "Gabriel Ignacio Anitua
in" Identify! "[1]

Do your duty. Pass the portfolio by the detector, log in control, give your details to the officer, leave their mark on the form, open your bag, showing your personal belongings, leave the film, leave photograph, desnúdese at the airport ... and give blood and DNA from his son to the city government.

BIOMETRICS AND DNA

"The biometrics is the study of automated methods for recognizing humans based single one or more intrinsic physical or behavioral traits. The term derives from the Greek words 'bios' of life and "metron" measure. "

Fingerprints or DNA profiles are one of those individual human traits that can be currently measured and recorded. But unlike fingerprints, iris or voice, DNA not only provides data that identify a person, but also reveal an enormous amount of information about the individual, from family relationships, to predisposition to disease and other personal traits: genes are the guardians of the unique features inherited by every human being, so both likely to be individualized, and as it advances the knowledge of the genome, more data can be disclosed. Giorgio Agamben

path identifies the biometric system of individuals with a "biopolitical tattoo " (referring to the Foucauldian biopolitics , subtle technologies of power) a dialing procedure to trace a continuity between contemporary democracies and open disciplinary models. Biometrics "permits the registration and the filing away of the most private and incommunicable aspect of subjectivity over" and bring to a close a process of capture of the body share of power.

Interference to intimate that this is manifested in the forced removal of the primary brand of our biological body, involves a form of insult to the rights of the individual. We maintain the private sphere "is the idiosyncratic decision to draw the line between personal life and social environment. [...] Everyone, is unknown or famous, aims to perceive the other being a 'person', ie 'distance' of roles, places, social functions "as Gérard Vincent, author of History of private life. " BIOMETRICS

PORTEÑA, BUENOS AIRES DOING

several years on the project progress "genetic filing" in the legislature of Buenos Aires and the Argentine Congress.



Driven by PRO (which already has other panoptic folder) and some civil society actors, including Mothers of Pain "in the first instance onlymentioned being registered as the perpetrators of sexual crimes. Rep. Eugene

Burzaco (now police chief of Buenos Aires) nationwide urging the creation of a DNA bank for rapists " that the then prime minister candidate Mauricio Macri used as campaign proposal. That project already considered for compulsory registration not only rapists but also to all convicted and tried for any crime.

But the draft Members porteños Gerardo Ingar, Cristian Ritondo, Diana Martínez Barrios and Victoria Morales Gorleri, where it crosses all boundaries of common sense: according to paragraph g) of Article 7 of the bill 201000213 "Registration genetic fingerprint scanned, non-coding, for the City of Buenos Aires "requires:

" g) Section General: digitized fingerprinting of all newborns in the territory of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires from two years after the enactment of this Act, the genetic fingerprints of every person who voluntarily express their wish to include your profile Registry genetic DNA fingerprints scanned and corresponding access this section by the provisions of this Act. "

read, the draft refers to" all the infants in the territory of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires ". Indeed, in power, we are all suspects to become sex offenders. The idea of \u200b\u200bthe Panopticon gene is already among us.

SHERLOCK HOLMES DOES NOT NEED OUR DATA

The inevitable track biological traces left by every living human being-hair, peeling skin, blood, semen, DNA makes the signing of an application especially attractive for police investigation. However, we must make it clear that there is no study showing that the widespread biometric records of the population have helped to increase the effectiveness of investigations, enough to see that in countries where the police investigation is more effective, there are even records Widespread biometric population or identity documents or transfers compulsive general. (Indeed, in many countries not even have identity documents )

On the other hand, widespread genetic record can facilitate identification, but much like the arbitrary incrimination. Identifying people is not the same as blame. It is very difficult to try to leave a fingerprint at the scene outside of a crime, but low enough to obtain a biological sample from a person (eg hair) to make an incriminating DNA. BIOMETRICS

TRADITION, THE GUARDS ARE
ARGENTINE
tradition in Argentina is a crime not to be identified. Unfortunately, our culture naturalized the existence and identity requirement as an obligation of citizenship and state power over the individual. Exit "without papers" on the street, it's like to go underground, "Background Investigation" is the most common cause of arrest in our country, and although the constitutionality of the procedure is challenged, police is "delaying" for several hours in (cells of) the ordinary citizens-police generally poor, young and dark-identifying with the excuse. Legal paradigm is reversed: we are all guilty until proven otherwise identification.

Famous as the pen or dulce de leche, another well-known Argentine invention placed the country at the vanguard of the development of biometric technologies to record: the method of fingerprint identification. The system was invented by the Buenos Aires police investigator, Juan Vucetich and permits from a file of fingerprints, identify an individual as having only their fingerprint data. The invention was developed and patented in Argentina, and our country has the strange history of being the world's first application in 1891, the fingerprinting method as a way of signing. In 1917, despite protests public, the system was applied to the entire population.

In 2010 the Argentines assumed as natural and acceptable, place the ten digits on the pad soaked in ink, then stamping his mark on the police forms at all stages of document or passport renewal imaginable. The city always comes back with dirty hands.

First they came for ...

spiral in the rise of totalitarian governments, the story told is always the same [2]: the panopticon of surveillance and discipline follows a precise order of growth: starts with prisons and prisoners or suspects on which bear a considerable social condemnation ("terrorists" criminals), then follow by the most vulnerable to stigmatization (racial, political, religious or home), and finally extends to the entire population, installing a climate of fear and persecution.

worth repeating here: surveillance technologies are perfected and become socially acceptable to have an impact initially on those marginal groups is where the strongest public condemnation. Everything fascism always starts the same pattern: once accepted mechanism, advances on the rest. The exceptional becomes the rule: for those guilty of heinous sex crimes, to "all the infants in the territory of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires." As mentioned the lawyer Gabriel Ignacio Anitua:

[...] "to apply to all human beings techniques and devices that were invented for the dangerous classes, states, that should be the site of the political life, have human beings at the suspect for excellence, to the extent that it is humanity itself that has become dangerous class "[3]


The Panopticon

Referring to the" panopticon " Jeremy Bentham , its inventor, said: "The main effect of the Panopticon is to induce in the inmate a state of awareness of permanent visibility that assures the automatic functioning of the system. So that the surveillance is permanent in its effects, even if it is discontinuous in its action, that the perfection of the system must be such that continuous monitoring unnecessary, [...] in short, the inmates should be caught in a situation submission of which are themselves oppressors. "You do not watch the eye of this observed effect, just enough for the secure him involved. Whenever states or organizations begin to implement the idea of \u200b\u200bthe panopticon as a generalized policy, many companies turn on their lights for alarm.

GENEALOGY OF THE EUGENICS

One result of decoding the human genome is reviving forgotten eugenic theories, which until the early twentieth century were promoted from certain influential circles, especially in science and state policies outlined in countries like United States, Canada or Sweden (Macri say "this is what you do serious countries.")

The Nazi Holocaust was a conclusive demonstration of driving where eugenics led to its ultimate consequences. After World War II few dared to continue to uphold its principles. However, concepts such as "racial hygiene" or "social Darwinism" is revived in the twenty-first century euphemisms such as "population control", "designer babies" or "reprogenetics." In 2004, a psychiatrist in charge of a committee report on psychotropic drugs and temporary foster children in the state of Texas, defended the administration intensive drugs, because "children were very sick due to poor genetic stock or stock "

The project title is stressed macrista" character coding "DNA to be registered, ie, regions of DNA that do not encode any protein, and in theory would not derive any physical trait typical of that individual. However, the deputy Buenos Aires Jorge Selser by South Project notes that "the markers used for analysis can yield information about ethnic groups and even on some diseases, which would put information in the hands of third parties which, if preserved, could create situations that are conflict and persecution. "

STIGMA, xenophobia and CRIME

last December as a download on the murders during the violent eviction of American Indian park, the city government chief and other senior officials uttered a series of public statements openly xenophobic, which have no precedent in the democratic period, with the exception of some that occurred during the Menem government in 90s.

Macri said there is "progress uncontrolled illegal immigration, and his Chief of Staff, Rodriguez Larreta, adding that in Argentina there is" a very permissive law on migration: people come and soon to be Argentina calls the house, usurping, then comes the judge forces the state to provide housing, "Is a perverse logic," the only thing it does is encourage more people come from neighboring countries to usurp land and housing demand. We have to cut it "[4].

statements enable a flurry of opinions and xenophobic headlines in the media. The next day, Mauricio Macri and Horacio Rodríguez Larreta were prosecuted for "inciting hatred" , in accordance with Article 3 of Law 23,592, by the Network for Migrants and Refugees in Argentina. There were condemnations of the Embassy of Paraguay and international organizations.

should be noted that Mauricio Macri, along with several senior officials of his government, are prosecuted for illegal wiretap -the most outrageous, Sergio Burstein, a leader of Relatives and Victims of the AMIA bombing, "that is illegally using a monitoring and status register (similar to the genetic database) arbitrarily spy on certain individuals for political purposes or personal following.

We add the items mentioned throughout the post: government officials promoting xenophobia from their public statements, stigmatization of vulnerable sectors of society, illegal use of state monitoring devices ... and add biometric technologies involving intimate profile individuals: sensitive genetic information of all people, to be delivered to the government, becoming widespread panoptic exceptional records for all city residents.

Do not stop sounding the alarm.

Shortest Road Map For Pune To Coorg

There were cuts around the country against mega mining

The Natural Resources Defense are amplified.

By Stephen Stanich.

In an unprecedented battle plan, cuts were across the country against mega mining.

As part of a crackdown popular unprecedented environmental meetings of the Northwest and Cuyo held on Monday, at the same time, locks in different routes of the country against vehicles carrying supplies mining operations. One of the cuts are made on the No. 337 route, linking the Valley Amaicha Catamarca city of Santa Maria.

socio-environmental Assemblies across the country were united in their fight against mega mining and performed for much of Monday's simultaneous roadblocks through which was prevented from passing vehicles, mainly trucks - laden with supplies for different sites.

In the context of a consensual plan of struggle between Northwest and Cuyo organizations linked to the Union of Citizens Assemblies (UAC), were maintained until the simultaneous locks yesterday afternoon on route No. 337, which connects Amaicha Valley with the city of Catamarca in Santa Maria, at the border of Uspallata (Mendoza) in the international route No. 7 in the town of Cerro Black, on Route No. 40 in Bethlehem Catamarca and the crossing of different ways with the N ° 38 in Patquía, 70 kilometers from the city of La Rioja.

Calchaquíes In the Valley, members of the NGO Pro-Eco with social organizations and members of communities from Tafi del Valle, Amaicha Valley, Santa Maria, Fuerte Quemado, among others, confirmed that they were able to prevent the passage of several vehicles (especially trucks) on their way to Minera Alumbrera.

place in flyers were distributed to the environmental damage caused by large-scale mining and collected signatures in adherence to national campaigns for the repeal of the Mining Code and related laws and protest against the Agua Rica mine project.

The fight over the coveted

Patquía Cordillera was the site chosen for another point of protest in the heart Cuyo. Their choice is not capricious: at one point, the National Highway 38 is attached to the provincial routes 150 and 74, strategic trade in mining.

There, under an oppressive sun, some 70 residents of different cities of La Rioja and Catamarca knew prevent the passage of dozens of trucks carrying lime, ammonium nitrate and sulfuric acid used, as claimed, at Minera Alumbrera and farms in San Juan.

is an area in which, with varying degrees of progress, is trying to develop more than 30 mining projects. "There are scans and various permits in Famatina by the Barrick Gold, to give just one example. Now over the national government gave the green light to China's Shandong Gold to operate the mine El Oro, located on the hill Famatina, about 30 miles from Chili, "said Cecilia Matta who since yesterday morning participated in the strike Rioja ground.

"It's a fight against predatory model that benefits very few. Here it is not just to defend the mountains but the ground water and why we're here. Instead of traveling, we decided to spend our vacation to the defense of our resources, "said Matta.

In the middle mountain zone, Luis Sanchez, said the difficult task of stopping the largest of errant moles trying to cater to the mining of Mendoza and San Juan through a cutting in Uspallata called on the international route to Chile.

"We must endure the sun, insults, threats from the police, court cases against many peers, but here we are. It is the policy of resisting prominera of Celso Jaque (governor of Mendoza) and the extractive system based on megaminería looter and the massive export of soybeans, "says Sanchez, a member of the Popular Assembly for Water. One of the most feared is the San Jorge. There are attempts to extract copper and gold on a farm that promises to obliterate Uspallata Valley, 90 miles northwest of the capital city of Mendoza and 2,500 meters.

anti-mining struggle also said, in parallel, Catamarca city of Bethlehem. On the Black Hill area, on National Route N º 40-a must for vehicles headed to Minera Alumbrera, Agua Rica, Filo Colorado and the dozens of projects within Rioja-Tinogasta members of assemblies, Andalgalá and Choya, among others, had the mission to raise their voice of resistance from the epicenter of one of the most coveted by multinational mining companies .
