How to map the social connection of some person?

https://gamesandtehories.blogspot.com/

Kimmo Huosionmaa

Do you know that Putin is three clicks away from you at the social media? This thing is investigated by some university, and that conclusion bases the claiming, that every person on earth would be two or three person thread from everybody, who uses social media. This thing makes us think, that in almost every person's social media network is some kind of intelligence officer.

Those officials serving for intelligence or police, and those persons mission is to find out drug dealers and other people, who are making criminal activities. The data, what is connected is problematic because it will uncover the real interests, what the users of the social media have. And the thing is, that connecting the information, what is collected from different sources can be used to make a very good profile of the targeted person.

And don't think, that if you have to pay for some solution makes it safe. Many of the solutions are free for private users, and that helps to control the sources, what are used to collecting information. Because firms must pay for the solution, that would allow filtering that kind of users away from the tracking lists. This means that intelligence services can target the tracking to private users or firms if the firmware solution is used for illegal activities.

There are many ways to investigate the social connections in social media, and one of them is to send the circular letter to that person and ask to deliver that message to all the social connections. The best way to make this thing working perfectly is to use some texts, what are very sensitive or makes need to show empathy. This is the best way to make people deliver those texts to other persons. This makes the social media very interesting place. And if someone would not want to deliver those circular letters, that will make this person sadistic and cold person in the eyes of other users of the social media.

So this is the short and sad story about the way, to find out the persons, who are members of some community. There is nothing wrong about the circular letters and some kind of stuff. But there is one very disturbing thing. They are always so sensitive, that they are going to disturb me, and the things, that some person would die in cancer are very sad. Sometimes there are asked money by using that kind of pictures and stories. And at the same time, they are causing negative for the people, who really need help, and here I'm writing about cases, where that kind of letters are shared because somebody wants to map the social connections. Those methods are strictly against the ethics and moral of the scientific work. And they are causing problems for people, who are in real trouble.

It's not just about the social media, it's about the limits of the speech

In the trial against MV-lehti and Ilya Janitskyn, is the question about the right to write about thigs, what would be not tolerated in the old fashion media, and at the same time the court is metering the limits of the writings in social media. And at the same time would somebody looking for the decision about the writer of social media right to use the name "magazine" in their homepages. But also we are facing the problem of the journalism, what is the very complicated thing.

Normally freedom of speech is meaning, that every person has right to make that kind of writings what he or she wants, but there would be no answer, what to do when if the opinion of the writer is against the opinion of the line of the magazine. And it is problematic because the journalist is in the similar relationship for the employer as the normal worker. So if the employer wants, the content of the text should follow the line of the magazine or media house.

But is the case, where the head journalist wants that the henchman changes the content against freedom of speech? And what to do, if some journalist would make the publications same time in the magazines like MV-lehti, what are actually the social media channels? Here we must also ask another question about the publications like MV-lehti, and that is very complicated: should that channel mention, that there is a "Facebook-style" channel, and would the persons, who own that channel also have the responsibility to moderate the writings, what are published in that media.

And what to do, if some journalist would write to those social media- magazines in their free time. That means that nothing limits the journalists work when that person is not in the office. The big question is, would that cause the divorcing if those writings are against the line of the workplace? Those are difficult questions, and there would not be right answers for this kind of things.

About the moderation and sharing information

http://kimmontaidearvioita.blogspot.com/p/about-moderation-and-sharing-information.html

Kimmo Huosionmaa

In Finland is starting the trial against the creator of MV-lehti Ilya Janitskin, what is later called as the MV-magazine, and another one person docent Jouni Bäckman, about the writings what have been written about one journalist. And this means that this trial is very important because there is searched limits about the writings in the magazines and media.

When we are thinking about the role of the creator of the MV-magazine, we are looking for the answer to the question, did that man only forget to moderate that net magazine, or did he have the more active role in this case? The MV-magazine (MV-lehti) have another line than the main media have, and it is mentioned to delivering the neo-nazi propaganda, and the publish have been mentioned to work under the protection or even under the control of Kremlin and the Russian military authorities.

That magazine has kept the very nationalistically focused line, and if we are thinking the role of the Kremlin in this project, the nationalism is supporting the Kremlin interests in Europe. The Kremlin interest is to break the NATO and European Union by using very large scale information campaigns, where is supporting nationalism, and every time when that kind of campaigns are going on, the question for the nations would be "why your soldiers must risk their lives for some other nation? And also the goodwill of the Kremlin is also highlighted. When we are thinking about this thing, we must ask one question: did that man, who created this web magazine knew about this? And what have been the purpose of those writings?

Are they meant for closing the social media, or are they controlled by Kremlin? Or is this true at all? Is the purpose of that type of articles only show, how much support the neo-nazis have in this country? That means, there would be not any connections between Kremlin and MV-magazine. If there would be no connection, that would be one version of those conspiracy theories, what must be placed in garbage tray.

Sometimes I wonder, how much connections is between some skinheads and Kremlin intelligence? In MV-magazine have been the articles, where the writers, what could be classified as the supporters of the skinheads are mentioned, that they have "good connections for Finnish police" and introduced the policemen as the members of their organizations. Also in some main media texts, what have made the journalists, who are working in those magazines, have published the "hate writings", where is seen very strong "right-wing nationalist attitudes".

At the same time in some cases, the journalists have claimed, that skinheads would have support from the Russian military. That would seem the very interesting combination, that the persons, who think that Russia is the greatest threat for the culture, claims that they get support from the leaders of Russia. But let's get back to that trial. The main question is, have somebody stole those homepages, and should Janitskin moderate that thing more intensive? And if that thing grows bigger than he thought, why he didn't shut it down?

Another question is, where that man gets the money for living? Who pays his salary? And is the payer some kind of covert firm, what have the connections for Gazprom, what can be used as the covert company, and the salary payer, that the security service of Kremlin would not be uncovered. But this might result in only the paranoid imagination, and those persons would act alone in this case, what brings MV-magazine to public arenas, and the trial is very important because if those persons would be found guilty, the magazine might be blocked from the Internet because of those hate writings.

Privacy and national security are complicated combinations

https://vapaaverkkojulkaiseminen.blogspot.fi/p/privacy-and-national-security-are.html

Kimmo Huosionmaa

Privacy and national security are complicated questions, and they are the very large operational area for IT-specialists and lawmakers. The major problem with connecting privacy and national security involves the question ”whose security is national security”? This means that nobody actually ever mentioned, is ”national security” only the security of national leaders, or is it serving also public security and regular people. When we are thinking about the situation, where ”national security” allows to censor all data, what is not serving the rulers of the government, we think that we are going to wrong way. When we are thinking about data collection, we must notice that nobody cares that thing before the German top politician Angela Merkel was eavesdropping by NSA, and then the newspapers were very shocking about this case.

But before that nobody actually cares, how much private data this intelligence service have been collected, and how much this data have been delivered across the Atlantic by UKUSA intelligence co-operation between GCHQ and NSA. Also, nobody ever thought that NSA global surveillance network ECHELON could be the threat, but then the top politicians eavesdropped, and then newspapers woke up. They screamed that this kind of operations are illegal, and the intelligence co-operation between NATO electronic intelligence community must stop. ”Real soldiers”don't eavesdrop their enemies, and the international trust must base that opposite part is trusted because they say something.

”In God we trust, others we monitoring” is a mark of paranoia, was mentioned in some newspapers, and in the same time, the Facebook and other social media wanted to be banned, because that kind of things can cause embarrassing situations for some people. Social media can uncover if the person doesn't have those opinions, what he or she is claimed to have. If some person is known as the ”great person”, we must say that there must be some reason for that. And if the person has good opinions, we must ask sometimes ”why it doesn't be visible on social media”? Of course, the Russian government has their own style to work in the field of national security. They just prohibit every service, what they cannot control.

This is the very dangerous thing. If we have the situation, that nobody allowed to say anything, could some terrorists hide in the system, and then they can make very much destruction. Here we must ask ”how many school shootings have been prevented because the shooters were made mistakes in social media”. Or ”how many pedophiles and drug dealers have been identified by using social media”? Social media is the very good tool for collecting information by people personal life. Technical methods are very easy, the pictures, what is downloaded to the Internet can be isolated many details. Sometimes in those pictures is seen firearms, what are illegal or marks of using drugs.

Of course, those pictures are very dangerous in the wrong hands. Also, the prisoners or drug dealers identities can be used in social media for collecting data for persons, who want to make contact with those people. But this kind of data can also be misused. Those pictures, what are in social media can be made with computers and they can be used for denigrating some person. And that's why this media can turn into the false world, where nothing is real. Also, the surveillance files can be faked by some members of security service. This is the real problematic situation on the Internet.

The posters can be set in the walls by using image manipulation programs, and then those pictures can be delivered to the social media. This is not the very nice thing. If some person has automatic weapons in the home and then takes a couple of pictures at home, the location would of assault rifles and another kind of stuff deliver to the hands of the local motorcycle club. But also if somebody forgets the GPS on, and claims that he or she is a business meeting, could this be very embarrassing, if that person is locating in some ”Red light district”. Also, the embarrassing situation can cause in the case when somebody plays cleaner but then uncovers that this person is actually the owner of some cleaning company.

Also some ”garage companies” have uncovered that the owners are sons and daughters of some top members of the business community. This is very tasteless in my mind, especially in the case, that this person gives statements, that students should pay their lectures or that this person ever got the financial support from the government. If they never mentioned that they are members of the very wealthy families, and get everything, what they want, could be embarrassing if they claim to be cleaners or something like that. So this is one opinion about social media. If you have better opinions write it on the Internet.

A relationship between social and printed media

Kimmo Huosionmaa

When we are talking about trusted media, we must say that of course printed newspapers are very high ranking and professional way to make media, but in some cases that thing have been caused even genocides. The problem is that some dictators are used printed newspaper against their political oppositions. In those cases, the "faked news" are caused the persecutions and violence against persons, who have talked against the dictators. This is one way to say, that many times dangerous is use trusted media for getting power in the state. I mean here, that also printed media can be used as developing the faked news and lies for people.

And this kind of misuse of media is always very dangerous because people are always trusted the media. But when we are thinking about social media, what is very unreliable, we must see one thing. When we are walking on the street, we don't have to look Facebook all the time. And we can remove that application from the telephones. That means we can just watch that thing couple of times per day. And the problem with social media is of course that if the people would use that thing, they might uncover very big secrets, or what do you think that somebody would publish the images from the house, where is guns on the wall. That kind of things is very bad for public safety.

But when we are thinking the role of social media, we must not stare that all the time, and when we are talking about the use of social media, those applications are meant to use together. So the all writings should be published in WordPress or Blogger, and then the links can be shared on Facebook etc. If we are thinking about working day and social media, we must say that the time for social media can leave outside the working day, if that feels disturbing. But the use of social media sometimes uncovers the little secrets, like that some worker, who is claimed to be an engineer has no training or education at all.

This might cause the little bit embarrassing situation if some team leader has been played an engineer, and then the dirty secret would be uncovered. In that case, somebody might want to ask, "why that person has not done anything". And of course, if somebody writes bullshit or prosecutes somebody without evidence, can this person take to court. This is one very complicated question of social media. Superiority has right to deny the use of social media in working time, but if there find the things that are illegal, that would make possible to prosecute this person in the courtroom.

Nobody wants to be the asshole in the eyes of the family, and that would be a reason why some directors are wanted to deny the use of social media. But sometimes the reason for denying the social media is more complicated. There are cases that some other reasons were behind the blocking the social media, and one of them is, that worker keeps sick leave, but then there would be the picture, where this person sits on the terrace and drinks beer. That would be little embarrassing thing.

Beware of social media, and remember that everything you see is not true

Kimmo Huosionmaa

When we are talking about social media and the use of it as the propaganda platform, we must say that modern technology allows making very trustable propaganda in the very low budget. The open source rendering platforms allow to create the animated films, where are characters, what looks absolutely real. Those photorealistic characters are allowed to make the realistic propaganda animation, what cannot separate from real news film.

Also, the use of social media allows making profiles of the persons, what are meant to target for propaganda. That means the propagandists can make propaganda, what is more, attractive and influential for targeted persons than ever before.

Social media is the very good weapon in the hands of propaganda makers because that media can be used in targeted propaganda, what is meant for children of the leaders, who are working for police and military. And of course, also criminal organizations would use social media in their recruiting campaigns, what is targeted to younger members of police and military. In those campaigns, those organizations claim, that they are only victims of the system, and the law enforcement only takes them as the targets of the use of force. And of course, drugs and doping are all right in that propaganda.

But the way to look like social media is that would give the information of the things like actions in some elections. Here I must ask does anybody tell us about the electoral fraud of Russian elections, or would the world be quiet about this kind of things? Silence is the very good way to keep undemocratic forces in power. And social media is also brought many things in publicity, what has been kept in silence.

And when we are talking about censorship, we would not want that thing. Social media has brought the attitude problems of some officials to public knowledge. Also the thing, those undemocratic forces are found also in so-called paradigm democracies. And what we have learned by social media is, that many things, what we are known as the truth, has more aspects than we ever couldn't expect.

The social media has shown that any media is not absolute neutral or all reporters are not standing behind the truth. That kind of reporters have supported the dictatorial governments, and an example the most important supporters of Joseph Stalin and Adolph Hitler were journalists, who wrote the supporting propaganda for those dictators. They made articles, what justified persecution of political enemies of those dictators. This is an aspect, what we must understand, while we are investigated media.
