The Scam Artist Rings Used the 165 Anti-Scamming Hotlines to Phish, Targeting the Nonprofit Organizations

Yeah, they’re, everywhere we look nowadays, and, how can we tell???  We can’t, and that’s, EXACTLY how BAD this is, getting here, this is exactly what makes people less than likely to donate to the charities now, besides the fact that we’re in an economic downturn, off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

A certain child welfare foundation received an email from the 165 Anti-Scam Hotlines, that asked the foundation, to click on the link to download an antiviral program for the sake of internet information security, the foundation became suspicious of this message and called it in; the criminal investigation agency found, that this was from a scam ring, attempted to use the phishing means of hackers, to implant a trojan horse program, to attempt to steal the personal data, to provide the scam rings to scam the donors to the foundation, and told that all the not-profit organizations need to start being on the look out for these.

The police found, that the scammers used the .gov.tw email as the sender, and used the 165 Anti-Scam logo, claimed that there’d been a security breach with the Treasury Department, that there was a data breach in the connecting network of the foundation, that the foundation needed to download an anti-virus program, and demanded that the foundation followed their words, with the hyperlink attached in the email.

like this…

and, you do NOT know if this is, legit, because the address is almost exactly identical to the foundation’s…photo from online

The foundation got suspicious upon receipt, didn’t click the link, and notified 165, and confirmed that it was a scam.  The criminal investigations unit tested out the link, that it can’t be downloaded, so they’re unsure of the functions of the downloaded file, suspected that it was a trojan horse virus, the e-mail IP address originated out of Switzerland, while the IP for the hyperlink was traced to Hong Kong, they’d suspected that it was a diving board.

The criminal investigations agency told, that the network security protection of the not-for-profit organizations’ data files are weaker, that there’d been the leak of personal data, the scam artists got a hold of the donors’ information, name, phone number, and the amount they’d donated, then, falsified themselves as the particular not-for-profit, or the banks, called up the donors, told them that the settings of the scheduled donations needed to get set up again, and had the donors use ATM or online banking transfers; just last month, there’d been dozens of cases using this measure already.

And so, this, is how and why, we’re all, no longer inclined, to donate, because these scam rings can and will use the “name” of the foundations we’d donated to to scam us, and, most of us, can’t tell the difference, because it’d looked legit, the website was, similar to the foundations we’d made our donations to, and so, we easily fall, prey.

The Invasions of Sexually-Illicit Songs from TikTok Made Their Ways into the Schools, the Parents Worried that Their Children May Model After Them

The parents SHOULD be worried, because, children learn by watching, and now, as these, high-tech means of transmitting information became what’s trending, there was that suffocating (or was it hangman) challenge that some kid died in from before, remember???  Off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

The Audio/Footage of Social Media Has Violence & Sexually-Illicit Content, the Experts Suggested that Parents Should Be Companions in Their Children’s Use of TikTok Instead of Banning it

In recent years, the video clip platform of TikTok from China because an issue of national security, the public agencies started banning the program, the Department of Education also got called to discuss the matters, not only since the coming of on TikTok, FB, also YouTube, not only were there matter of privacy on hand, the issues of the contents of the video, the audio clips being “too adultly content” made all the parents sweat, worried that their young may model after what they see.  And even though the children are banned from using their cell phones during class hours, but after school or when the parents and teachers weren’t watching, it would be easy for these, inappropriately adult-aged contents get in.

“Baby, let’s have a toast…at this time, I was surrounded by older girls, and, each one served me a glass, how can I not get drunk”, the recent trending preschool kids singing and dancing to the “Ace of Spades”.  A lot of the parents, when their young children get home and started humming and singing the words aloud, they’d gone to check the song, and that was when they were shocked to realize that these age-inappropriate tunes had, seeped into the schools.

The students aren’t just into TikTok, FB, Instagram, as well as YouTube too, all had contents of sexually illicit sorts, the inappropriate languages too, and all of these too maturely adult contents made all the parents stressed, worried that their own young may model after the behaviors that they watched.  There were the YouTube parents who’d posted the warnings on the social media platforms, worried that their children may have access to the age inappropriate, too mature contents in schools or online.

The mother of a second grade child, Ms. Wu shared with the paper, that she’d allowed her child watch the cartoon of Peppa Pig, and her young child told her it was too scary, she couldn’t understand how or why, later, she’d found out, that the cartoon was made into a bloodier version, and streamed online, and the cartoon had become a conversation topic for the children at school.

A certain elementary school instructor in Hsinbei City pointe out, that the students started, smacking of heads by the best friends in their off period, there’d even been the use of the name calling each other stupid, dumbass, and the children who were watching the footages were laughing along, and, most of the teachers can’t keep the children away from these age inappropriate videos, the parents may not have any power over what their children are viewing, and even if the bans are placed, there’s the uncertainties of yet another age-inappropriate social media group that might get started

The occupational therapist, Yu told, that there were young children who’d talked to her about the topic of “TikTok” in their sessions, but the contents involved life-threatening dangers, and if the children can’t tell what’s real and what’s made up, it would be unimaginable to think, what will happen if they’d modeled after the behaviors that they were, watching, she’d called out to the parents to help set up the right means of usages of high-tech devices, and set up the awareness of how to tell if a media is good; but do NOT ban the children from all high-tech devices, programs, to avoid the problem of social interactions in the children’s, lives.

The Department of Education stated, that to help the students to tell which contents are appropriate, it will be using the forums to teach them to differentiate good and bad, acceptable and unacceptable behaviors on TikTok, and focus on the influences of the children’s emotions in encountering these footages, to differentiate what’s real and what’s fake, to prevent cyberbullying, and other lesson plans, so the teachers can teach these lessons in class to the children.

Yeah, there’s no, absolutely NO way any of us, can keep these invasions at bay, as these things are, getting into the lives of your young children, and, if you ban them from using the high-tech devices, trust me, they will just, find that hole to squeeze into, and still find ways to log on, to watch whatever it is you’re banning them from watching, and so, the best way to help your children stay safe online, is by educating them to differentiate what’s real, what’s not, teach them what they can do, if they see something that doesn’t seem quite right, that’s, alarming to them.

GPS for Gays

Let me see, who’s in my vicinity that might be, interested, in hanging out with me here……….oh, I see that blinker, I’ll go there then!  Translated…

The first year of iPhone for me was 2007, my very first smartphone was Sony Xperia from 2012, the prevalence of smartphones in Taiwan back in 2014 got to seventy-percent of the population.  The smartphones combined with the GPS system, with the friendship apps were born, made the physical bodies into geography.  This turned the friendships of gale males upside down.  But, before-Smart to SmartPhones, the transitional phases, there’d been, a very short-lived website: GapMap.  The site is active during the “with the needs, but when the SmartPhones weren’t prevalent enough” back in 2010.  I was still not yet into my doctoral program, still lived with my boyfriend at a suite high up in a building.  My desk was in the midst of that penthouse, and, perhaps, due to the fengshui, I’d not, opened my field of vision, nor my life, wide, enough yet.

One day, my good friend, Doobe told me, that there was a website, GapMap, that I could see those who are…close to where I live—I’d tried register online, the image was like GoogleMap, but, with every person a dot, like the tacks on a map.  And, passing the Fuhe Bridge, there were, the highly inhabited region of Zhonghe and Yonghe, living up to its name of “first class warzone”, the map needed to be maximized, then, maximized, again, to see the gaps between the people.  There was a headshot like a sticker that’s, stuck on my head, I can’t remove it—looking at the face more closely, it seemed like that gay man on the twelfth floor, the one with the French dog.

something that’s like…this! found online

The Fengshui programs told that if the walls aren’t with light, our minds will always and forever be, closed.  And yet, there’s, only limited living spaces in the city.  I’d turned on the GayMap daily, like I was, opening the window, to see a wider, world, to resolve the problems of fengshui of my wall over my desk.  It’s just, that the location of the GayMap GPS, it’s based off of the individuals’ needs, I’d often seen Elvin, Dong, from someplace, hanging themselves above the Hsintien Creek often.  From upstream to downstream, the heads floated, like the ships of an ocean, very interesting, and malicious.  Looked like the people afloat, actually, they’d, swum out of the Red Sea, that was, a way of appearing too.  I’d not cared about cheating a lot, but, going north to south, south, to north, scanning from the origins of the creek, to the exit, it seemed, that I’d, immersed, completely, in water then.

My “field” discoveries ended, with the coming on of the SmartPhones, the friendship apps automatically set up the priorities for me based off of my geographical location in relation to others’, from near to far off.  There’s only a limit to the number of people whom you can see on this trial version of the app, there’s a dense population of gay people in Yonghe, I can’t get my cursor out of Anhe and Shuanghe Boroughs at all—the hands of the goddess that’s blocked up the Monkey King of the digital era.  My friend, Doobe who is out of the engineering majors, told me, that this isn’t difficult, there’s the false GPS system software.  We can be physically in Yonghe, but our minds, Thailand, before we travel abroad, we’d already, set up our location at the hotel we are to check in abroad, and, gotten along with those around us virtually, and, as we physically arrived we are, already, well, connected.  I’m completely taken now, the desks, the walls, and now, my imagination, became, limited.

And now, iPhone got to the fourteenth generation already, and, I’d still gotten reminded time to time of GapMap.  Maybe, it’s more like that gap, opening up this tiny hole in the times.   Can drag it with my hand, or, imagined a false location, I’d wanted to know the gay population in Zhoushan Island too, if there are passionate boys like me in Hai Phong, Vietnam, if there are Dongs who are like me, holding my location above a lake in Vieng Chan, Cambodia………………

So, this is how the invention of the internet, of programs like GoogleMaps, help people stay, connected, especially in this day and age, when face-to-face contact is next to impossible, especially due to the outbreak and all of that, we longed to connect, establish that sense of hey, I know you, “friend”, let’s hang out online, and see what sort of troubles we can get ourselves into, yada, yada, yada.  And these apps aren’t that bad, if you use them in the correct means, if you only use them for the sole purpose of socializing, and connection.

Objectifying the Members of the Opposite Sex

This is really awful, with the stimuli we come across, every single day, hinting at sex!  Off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

In 2022, there was a striptease performed for the elderly in the Taoyuan Veteran’s Home to celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival, that’s caused the debates of what’s proper and what’s not.  And yet, there were the professional psychiatrists that claimed, “there’s nothing wrong with stripteases in the nursing homes”.  To get the demented elderly to react isn’t anything easy, while there’s a ton of visual stimuli from the stripteases, that will be quite effective on the senses.  The stripteases, and other sexual performances can’t exist as a part of the Taiwanese society and culture, other than the limitations placed on these by the law, morally, it’s gained its, bad reputation as well.

The developments of the communication apps, especially the cell phone games, to get the guys to play, to download, these programs would often “objectify women”.  And, in the virtual world of Meta, this is more prevalent even.  In the era where the sexes are created equal, “objectifying” had the negative overtones, and, it would be hinting at those who promoted this lacked in cultural standards; and, more severely, it would be called sexism and sexually-illicit.  But, how is “objectifying women” defined?  We are now, confronted with the hard to restrict, “the behaviors of the body as a form of expression in art”, because it’s too difficult, to separate between “art” and “pornography”, and there’s NO standards to go by.  For most, the understanding is this, if the work makes the viewer think about sex, then, it would be considered porn.  But, wouldn’t the paintings of nudes have the same effects to them?  It is truly, not easy, to identify, to define this, area of, gray.

Actually, the works of art can be pornographic too, that’s, a part of, life, no need to deny it.  Shakespeare, in writing the scene of the secret rendezvous of Romeo and Juliet, set a, role of the jester, Mercutio in the gardens, waiting, imagining what was happening between Romeo and Juliet.  Shakespeare told us, that humans have many different means of thoughts, there’s the different interpretations of what constitutes as sexually illicit, and what’s not.  The very first time that Juliet had sex with her Romeo, she was only thirteen.  The U.S. later set up the Romeo and Juliet Laws.  This law decriminalized the act of consensual sex of underage minors who wanted to have sex with each other, or that it’d reduced the act to a misdemeanor, that way, it would not end tragically like Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet.

Shakespeare is a playwright, his scripts are used for performances onstage, to sell the tickets.  And so, his work would not only need to be fitting for all age groups, but, also, for those who aren’t, old enough to view, in order, to sell a ton of, tickets.  If you loved Shakespeare’s plays, that does NOT mean you’re cultured or with good tastes.  For Shakespeare wrote for the ordinary man, those who loved his work may be in love with how “vernacular”, how “ordinary” his plays were.  The key is in how Shakespeare is good with words, his play on them.  The audience with the purity of mind, loved his witticism; those who aren’t cultured, who are, less educated, loved the subliminal suggestions of sexual nature, and what they’re seeing, is, the play that, objectified, women.  His comedy, “Much Ado about Nothing”, with the dual meanings of the word, “nothing”, referring to sex, and objectifying women too.

If the creator of Meta can have the abilities of Shakespeare, can use the dual meanings of sexual references of words into the virtual realities, then, the objectifying of women will be elevated, to a, brand new level.  While, can the moral regulations, the laws in Taiwan, will it catch up to the current trends, and deal with the taboos of sex more, practically?

And so, this is how sex is everywhere, even when we’re unaware that we’d encountered it in our daily lives, because we’re all, drawn to it, everybody wants to peep, because that’s, just human nature, we want to peep into what’s tabooed, what we shouldn’t be looking at, and the more we are banned from these things, the more we are, drawn into them, because that, is just how human nature worked!

Promise Me, Do, Spare Those Under the Keys

As these words of ours that we’re all posting online, might be, damaging…translated…

Recently a friend started a diner, other than being in awe of his cooking skills, I’d hoped, that I can do something for him, to help his shop run smoothly.  My friend didn’t ask for much, smiled and said, that if I’d used my articles to recommend his shop to the online community, that it may be the best form of, advertisement.  And so, I’d, tapped into my editorial skills from my work from before, wrote an article for him, and gladly, the article got the attention of a group of hundreds had posted things.

As we were both happy over this, I’d suddenly found, that my personal page hits surpassed thousands per day too, but, most of the comments, they were like friendly like they’d been before, instead, the trolls trolled us for making the shop look and sounded good, that the shop my friend owned, seemed like it would cheat the guests.  Some of those who made real troubles, left the messages of “the food, disgusting, and the prices, too expensive, while the owner of the shop was…well………”, then, my personal headshot got posted to the bottom of the posts, and, those “martyrs of justice” started attacking my “immoral behaviors”, criticizing about why I couldn’t do what I’d been “paid to” do, that I was, immoral in embellishing my friend’s shop, how I was, “cheating the people out of their money”, etc., etc., etc.

trolls online! like this, and this may be someone you know too! Illustration from online

It wasn’t that I’d never been bullied before, but, seeing how my headshot got cut, I started to panic for real, at the shortest time, I’d thought, that I had the photos of my family members on there too, could it be that they were also, attacked?  I’d felt apologetic toward my friend too, my good intention, got abused by the online community.

In the past, our culture taught us to be courteous to one another, to be kind to those whom we meet, and yet, the online world became, a secret headquarters, betting on how you can’t see me, and I can’t, see you either, the anonymity, I’m not who I say I am, and you’re not who you say you are either, forgetting, that behind the keyboards, there are, REAL live, human beings, the hearts that are, working really hard, to make the lives, count.  As our lives are, tied in to the internet, but, can we, in all the words we post online, put that empathy into what we’re, saying?

My friend did NOT blame me, but I’d still, taken a little more time, to get myself from under the glooms of the attack.  And I will, never try to, help my friends in, anything, anymore.

And so this, is how the internet affects people in a negative way, because there will always be, TROLLS, those sour masses, that are, commenting on what they really got no clue about, and, these words of “you suck”, or whatever, it hurt, and, especially if these bad words can spread like a wildfire too fast, burn through the online world, damaging the reputations, hurt the feelings of someone who don’t even know those who are targeted by the online community!  And this is really, B-A-D!

Banning TikTok, Building a Great Wall of DDP?

The DDP’s, infringing our rights to use TikTok, and using that valid excuse of how it would be, addictive for younger generations of children, and that it would cause our personal information to get, stolen by the hackers, and the DDPs reason for banning it would be???  It was developed by, C-H-I-N-A, simple as that.  Off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

TikTok had been the focus these days, from the addictions to the platform of younger generations of students or from the considerations of personal data safety, this may be, debatable, but, the head of Digital Developments, Tang said, the Executive Department is going to discuss this matter on the means of national security, with other departments of the government too, getting all of the offices of the departments of the government involved, is this, for the sake, of setting up the great wall of the, DDP here?

Tang stated, that the government already placed the restrictions of the public offices from downloading and using software such as TikTok, that if the government agencies wanted to become closed in in banning certain websites on the internet, the people can’t have any say in it; but she said “the authorities believed, that TikTok presents danger to national security”, and it’d made us all worried, that the excuses of “national security” will soon become “uncontrolled”, and the government now dips its filthy hands into the people’s uses of their cell phones and computers and laptops too.

like, this! Photo from online

The reason for banning TikTok, there’s the saying of, “as TikTok sounded off, the parents are, at wits’ ends”, meaning, that TikTok is addictive to the adolescents; but, banning TikTok, the younger generations are going to find alternatives, the online games, the friendship platforms, wouldn’t they get addicted to those too?  Not using the means of education as prevention means, to tackle the matter of internet addictions, just wanted to kill off a platform, it’s worse than sawing off the arrows from the arrows being shot out of bows.

There’s also the “cultural invasions” that are being considered here too, then, would not the Japanese, the Korean influences in the media be the exact same too?  And, hadn’t the president, Tsai also been following the soaps on the fights of the inside of the emperors’ palaces too?  Even the legislator, Lin who spoke against TikTok also, has a TikTok account too!  Another case of, “the DDP can, but we the people, can’t!”.  To the claims that using TikTok constitutes as “spreading the false news, and using cognitive manipulation warfare”, doesn’t Facebook, LINE pose the same risks as well?

There are the multitudes of various perspectives from various social media, platform, posted from the various sides, that is the collective of the digitized visual industries, it’s not surprising, that there would be, the false news mixed in them, but, there are, the creative agencies, the business opportunities in these too, Tang can not bring down the name of “digital development department” by banning TikTok.  With the huge cannon of “national security”, does the DDP want to, turn Taiwan into, North Korea?

Because TikTok is developed by China (“our ENEMY!!!”), that’s why this god damn dictatorship of the DDP is, trying to ban the downloading, the usage of it here, and that’s just shit, how far can these authoritarians go, in controlling, we the people’s, lives, and how far can the people allow, those mother @#$%ING (maxed out!) authoritarian, dictators, to rule over our lives here?  Well, apparently, we the people, still ain’t had enough of the TOUGH hands of the DDP Y-E-T!

The Sexually-Illicit Footages Gone Viral, Getting Passed Around, with the “Multiples of Damaging Effects”

How cyberbullying is still NEXT to impossible to stop, in this, high-tech age, and how the law does, SQUAT!!!  Off of the Newspapers, translated…

The Leaks, the Forwarding, the Viewing Online is Enabling, the Legislators Called for an Amendment, to Set up a Specialized Unit to Remove the Images Completely OFFLINE

There’d been an influx of cases of sexual violence footages being found, there’d been an increase of 876 case involving children and adolescents from 2019 to 2021.  The experts stated, every time that these footages get watched or forwarded, it’d a damage, the victims keep on getting “raped repeatedly”.  The legislator,

Wang called out that other than amending the laws, there should also be a unit in the government set up especially to tackle this matter, to ensure that the images, the footages had been, erased completely on and offline.

Based off of understanding, the sexual image violence cases involving the age group of eighteen to seventy-four is continuing on at four-percent, but, there are not that many who came out to ask the law enforcement units for help.  The professor from social policies and sociology, Wang stated, that the sexual assault victims may only get assaulted once in a lifetime, but the effects of the violence is for life, and the damages of those who were caught on tape getting assaulted, multiplies, this is even harder to break from, the post-traumatic stress.

The victims interviewed of the sexual violence footages, because everybody on the streets had seen the videos, they’d not dared disclosed what happened to them to anybody else, worried that the others may blame them, “you were the ones to have consented to get taped”, if the perp is one person, then, the enablers of this assault by footage is infinite, not only the one who’d leaked the footages out, those who’d viewed the footages, those who’d forwarded the footages, are all, enablers.

Wang stated, the filmed are usually enticed, inexperienced, mostly were “tricked”, of the adolescent age group, some perps used the titles of job offerings, companionship charts, getting the victims dressed in next to nothing, then, getting the victims to strip themselves to completely nude.  The victims are primarily females, but, the number of male victims are on the rise too now.

The counselor, Chen stated, that the cases of sexual violence were more prevalent in the less functional families, but with the internet, this form of digital violence had already spread to every single household, and any age can be victimized.  Especially children and teen, they are the group that needs close attention, the victims may find it hard to disclose what happened to them, the families, and schools need to be more sensitive to the signs, to note the behaviors that seemed off for a child.

Wang stated, the laws to prevent digital violence here in Taiwan is not as advanced compared to other countries’, it’d still not yet specified the class behaviors of what constitutes as illegal here.  Until the start of this year, the Executive Department only started listing out the specifics, there are still many details that needed to get written out, a ton of rules that needed amending, hope, that the government doesn’t just set up the rules, but also, find effective ways to enforce the laws, to prevent more victims from being abused, to effectively, STOP the streaming live footages and the footages going viral.

And so, this god DAMN government DARE pride itself for being advanced in the laws to prevent the invasions of privacy, setting up and passing those, anti-stalker laws, yada, yada, yada, and yet, it does, absolutely, N-A-D-A, to prevent the abuse of victims who’d been raped, molested, and captured on tape, and now, the footages of these, sexual violence, with the victims’ faces not blurred out, are going, to spread all over the internet!  Yeah, we’re, advanced all right: advanced, on falling behind HUMAN rights, and the protection of the victims of these, crimes of sexual nature!

The Increases in Identity Thefts, the KMTs Called Out to the Government to Patch Up the Holes in the Systems Quickly

How easily, for even, the higher up government officials to get their personal information misused and stolen by the hackers, and that’s with, a high-end, security system that they’re currently using, now, imagine, if it’s that easy for the government officials’ information to get stolen, how our information can be stolen and misused, even more, easily!  Off of the Newspapers, translated…

The Words are that Twenty-Three Million Personal Data Had Gotten Sold, with Lai and Gu Listed as Among Them

An account online “OKE” claimed that it’s selling over 23 million pieces of personal information of users in Taiwan, with a lot of the people leaving messages that they wanted to buy, this was on the BreachForums discussion board.  The legislator from KMT, Hsieh stated yesterday, that the digital development department of the offices of internal affairs told yesterday, that their system was NOT hacked, but, there were the anonymous hackers who’d compared the data, and it’d shown, that the information was close to identical to the data in the database of the local land offices’, with the personal information of the vice president, secretary of NSA, Gu, and the head of economics, Wang in them.

The digital development department stated, the government, followed the “information communications secured management” edicts of the varied levels of security.  That the massive amounts of personal data from the citizens, they’d set up the drills to prevent the hacking, and the real-life means of prevention of getting hacked, that it takes one to two months, for these drills to be completed to set up the needed protections of the security of our personal data every year.

The KMT head recruit, Tseng told since 2019, there’d been 674 cases in regards to national security data breach, and there’s that consistent hike in the cases per year, including the Postal services, and more than ten thousand personal data getting leaked out from the department of foreign affairs in 2017, and there’s the over 23 million personal data files leaked out just this past November.

And, there were the cases of hackers hacking into the data files on the rise too, getting more and more serious.  The hackers are getting bolder and overboard, the government can’t just sit and do nothing about this.

Toward the claims of the selling of personal data by OKE, the offices of internal affairs and the digital development department both told, that it wasn’t the land offices that got hacked, some said, that the files leaked are exactly identical to the 2020 “Toogod” hacking files; but, based off of the anonymous reports, and in comparing the “OKE” files, the complete household registry, with the I.D. numbers listed, that’s all, brand, new.

Based off of the claims of the anonymous hacker, the data being sold contained personal information of the vice president, Lai, Gu, and Wang, the head of economics, it’d become a matter of national security, calling out to the DDP, to start zooming in on the matter of attacking the opposing party, and start, tackling this serious matter now.

The legislator of the KMT, Lai told, that there are nine hundred openings of the national government employees of the high-tech departments, the head of state, Su told that the department was going to outsource to get the workers filled, he’d suspected that the matter data security can be “outsourced”?  Both the president, Tsai and the head of state, Su are using the mottos to run the country, he’d demanded the government to see these data breach as a matter of national security, to try to BLOCK it off.

Yeah, and this still just showed, how INCOMPETENT the DDP government is, on this matter too!  I mean, it is the government’s job, to try its best, to protect the government owned and operated systems from being HACKED, and yet, see how many data breaches, the higher up government officials’ names, personal data are being, misused?  That just showed, how dangerous it is, for ordinary people like you and I, because if the government officials higher up get their personal data, identities, stolen, how easy it would be, for you and I, to get our personal information stolen?  And this is still a top-down problem, because the system was NOT set up securely enough at the very top, that’s why, it trickles down…

The YouTuber Lost Another Case, Claiming that the Sandy Hook Elementary School Mass Shooting was a Scam, Mandated to Pay Another $3.07 Billion

Like this god damn world isn’t, already MESSED up enough, and we still got these, CONSPIRACY theorists, spreading the rumors around???  Yeah, this LOSER (still not calling names here!) DESERVED to pay up, and serve that long jail sentence for, libel and slander, for spreading the unfounded rumors all right!  Off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

The founder, Jones of the conspiracy theory based right wing website, “Infowars” claimed that the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting from eight years ago is a scam, to get the congress to pass the gun control bill.  His words angered the families of the Sandy Hook shooting victims to sue for libel and slander, the jury from Connecticut on the twelfth found Jones lost, and he needed to pay $956,000,000 U.S.  Jones’s attorney will appeal this.

This was Jones’s second loss, from before a jury in Texas already found that Jones need to pay the families of a six-year-old child who’d died $49,300,000 to the family of a six-year-old child who’d died in the shooting.

The 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting caused twenty students, six teachers to lose their lives, and yet, Jones kept claiming that this is the fake news that the gun control groups and the new media made up, that there WAS, no massacre, the goal of this is to get the congress to pass the gun control bills.

Many of the parents of the students who were killed started suing Jones for libel and slander in Texas and Connecticut, and one of the first FBI agent who got to the scene, sued him in Connecticut too, and testified in court.

the protesting outside his court trial…photo from online

Some of the victims’ families testified on the stand, that for over the years, they’d been, harassed by supporters of Jones, getting the death threats regularly.  The supporters of Jones had even made the fake videos of how the elementary students who were killed were living elsewhere.

As the jury in Connecticut came out with a verdict, Jones wasn’t in the courthouse, but in his show, he’d barked back, “everything was set up, it’s very funny, this is, the leftwing politicians, completely, out of control!”

Jones’s attorney stated, because the amount is way higher than they’d expected, he will be fighting for an appeal.

In the trial, although Jones admitted on the stand, that he was wrong about Sandy Hook, but he’d still, used the court as a performance stage, mocked the justice, and the procedural proceedings of the court, and called his case an insult to his right to free speech, that it’s the conspiracy of the Democrats and the news media, with the primary goals of, bankrupting him.

The district attorney’s expert witness testified, that Jones and his Infowars’s mother company, Free Speech Systems, used the large scale massacres to attract their audiences, to earn millions of dollars.  A financial expert in the trial in Texas testified that Jones and his company is worth over $27 million U.S.

In April of this year, as Jones learned that he will be faced with the huge amounts of money, he and his company, Free Speech Systems, filed for bankruptcy with the Federal District Court in Southern Texas already, to protect his own assets.

And so, this is how the Republican supporters work, just like the DDP here, they spread the unfounded rumors, with the FACTS pointing the OTHER direction, and they’re still, libeling and slandering, delusional, believing that they’re right, and yeah, we are all, letting, these, mother @#$%ERS (maxed out!) run our separate countries here.

Wow, we the people are, STUPID all right!

With the Whole City, Looking for a Missing Child with Autism, a Treasure Map of Memories

Thanks to FB, and the members who uses FB, making the recovery of this autistic boy easier, translated…

The Following Morn When She Woke & Had Calmed Back Down, Wanted to Sit Down with Her Son, and that was When She’d Found Him Gone, as Was the Piggy Bank He’d Put His Allowances in Too………

Late one evening, the phone at the office rang, it was a single mother who lives in Taichung, she was hurried and anxious stricken, asked us to help find her son back.

She’d divorced because her husband was abusive, and ever since, she’d been, working hard to care for her young on her own.  The boy had autism and Tourette’s, and needed even more time and mind to care, but, no matter what, he was her own son, and no matter how hard, she’d, bitten down, and worked hard to give her own son the economic stability, as well as her physical companionship.

It’s just that, no matter how great the mother’s love, there’s only just, her alone, and she’s faced with the hardships of livelihood and caring for her own young, and, it’s only natural, that she too, has her emotions, after a day’s worth of hard work, arriving home, faced with her son who didn’t want to hear her teaching, became hard to communicate with, she’d, lost it, and gotten angry at her own son.

The following morn as she’d slept the night off, and calmed down, wanted to have a talk with her son, she’d found, that he was, gone, and the piggy bank that he’d put his allowances in was too…………she’d worried, that her adolescent son had, ran away from home!

She couldn’t find him close by to home, and immediately gone to the police to report him missing, and yet, for seven days, no news.  And, as she was on her way home, she saw the ad of our agency, and so, with that tiny hope, she’d, called us.

Hearing her voice on the other end of the line, I could feel this single mother’s anxiousness and her worries, but because it was already late, even if I started looking for her son, it wouldn’t be, fruitful.  So I can, only record down the information of this child, and promised his mother, that we will, get right on it, the next morn bright and early.

To tell the truth, although, finding the missing persons, catching someone cheating, and tailing someone, are the three biggest businesses of the private investigators’ agencies, but, finding the missing persons is the lowest in charges, with the highest level of, difficulty, with a very low, rate of, success, because there’s not enough leads to go on.  And, even if we can get into the special resources that we’re entitled to gain, it’s normally, quite, unsuccessful.  But this mother’s cries, resonated in my ears, and it’d, made me feel bad for her………

I’d thought hard for the entire night, and, analyzed the best way to approach this problem, and, sorted through my own feelings of worries, waited until the morn, I’d, called my coworkers, to discuss this particular case, swiftly got the information of this kid out, had all hands on deck, working this case, asked them to pay mind to this; the officemates knew the police office in Taichung, and their friends, and asked them to pay attention; those who are active on the internet, sent out the missing persons’ notice on FB, after they’d gotten the okay for the posts with the managers of the groups.

And I knew too well, that this, is all we’re, able to, do, the following was to, just, wait, wait, and wait, and wait, endlessly………

If we’re lucky, maybe, someone will, bump into, this kid.  If not, then, we can only tell this, single mother, that we’d done the best we could—and that, was the situation I hated the most.

Maybe, it was because I’d not lived with my mother growing up, I couldn’t defend myself against “a mother’s tears”.  In our past cases, whenever there’s a mother who’d come asking, I’d worked my best, to help them out, and it didn’t matter if the cases were next-to-impossible, I’d forced myself to do it until “there’s nothing more that I can do”.

Watching how my coworkers posted the FB fans page of our office the missing person’s ads, I’d stressed on which ways there are still, to help us recover the teen.  At this time, a pop-up came on FB, the missing persons’ notices get a lot of hits, we can place an ad, to get this post out to more people out there.

Normally, I’d felt, that this was FB’s spin of getting us to place the ads with them.  But at this time, I’d suddenly had a brand new thought: “isn’t FB ads regional?”

we finally found him!

I’d done a minor experiment first, found that my theories were, correct, then following, I’d immediately started discussing the matters with my officemates who are in charge of the ads.  Through the ads systems of FB, I’d posted the “Missing Person” ad of my company’s fan pages onto the clientele of Taichung areas, hoping to get more usable, helpful information.

Everything went well, not long thereafter, the fans group started receiving the help from the members of the online community: there were those who’d called us to ask for more details of the case, said that they would be happy to head out onto the streets to look for the child, from McDonalds, the train stations, the local parks, there were sightings of the boy it’d seemed.

Based off of the reports of those who are out looking, this kid, as soon as he’d realized that someone was zoomed in on him, he’d run off, and, it’d, made all of these helpful people from online feel, defeated.

“Don’t feel like that, your message is great help to us already”, every time I’d read the responses of the online community, we’d showed our gratitude for their assistance.  This isn’t courtesy, it’s, the truth, because although these individuals weren’t able to stop the kid from running off, but, through the entire mapping systems, we could already, see a pattern of where he’d run to and from.

I’d opened up the map for the metro of Taichung, and, started mapping out the routes based off of the reports from the online community, to guess at where this kid will show up to next, and, sent my coworkers out to the regions.

Early the following morn, someone from online told, that he’d sighted the child in front of the train station.  The coworkers who were right in the close vicinity went there immediately.  Not long thereafter, I received a call, “Bo, we’d, found him!”

The coworker told, that the child was cared for by the local homeless population.  Being on his own for days on end, he’d become, fatigued and too hungry, but, his physical health and mental states were both, fine.  As I’d heard this, I’d finally, felt, relieved.

And this was, the only time I wanted to thank Zuckerberg.  A platform online, had helped the people tapped into their own kindness, their passions, and it’d helped a single mother relieved of her worries for her son.

I’d never thought of using the ads as a missing person’s, and, trying it out, it’d, yielded the outcomes we wanted.  But, if Zuckerberg can change that god DAMN algorithm, and give us back our, normal number of hits, I shall be more grateful to him for it.

And so, this is how FB had, helped in the recovery of this autistic child who’d, run away from home, and this still showed, how the internet can be helpful sometimes, and, the boy was returned to his mother, safe and sound, without a scratch, thanks to the local communities, the online communities, that all chipped in to help recover him, and send him back to his mother.
