Should Reddit Be Blamed for the Spreading of a Smear? - NYTimes.com - 1 views

  • By 8 p.m., three hours after the F.B.I. released the suspects’ photos, angry messages began to appear on the Tripathi’s Facebook page, and at 8:15 Ravi received a phone call from a reporter at ABC News in New York, who asked if Sunil had been spotted in Boston and if Ravi had seen the F.B.I. photos of Suspect No. 2. Ravi, unclear at what she was getting at, told her there had been no word from Sunil.

      Facebook- Digital Tool
  • At 10:56 p.m., Stone tweeted: “I’m sure by now the @fbipressoffice is looking into this dude” and included a link to the Facebook page. Seven minutes later, she tweeted: “Seconds after I sent that tweet the page is gone off of Facebook. If you can cache it . . .” Several journalists began tweeting out guarded thoughts about Sunil’s involvement.

      Twitter - Digital Tool
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • At 2:43 a.m., a Twitter user named Greg Hughes (@ghughesca), who was previously tweeting things like, “In 2013, all you need [is] a connection to the Boston police scanner and a Twitter feed to know what’s up. We don’t even need TV anymore,”
  • Seven minutes later, Kevin Galliford, a journalist for a TV station in Hartford, relayed the same information to his own followers; Galliford’s tweet was retweeted more than 1,000 times in a matter of minutes.
  • Andrew Kaczynski, a journalist at BuzzFeed, who sent out the police-scanner misinformation to his 81,000 followers
  • @YourAnonNews, a Twitter news feed connected to the hacker collective Anonymous, tweeted out Tripathi’s name to the hundreds of thousands of people
  • Roughly 300 Twitter users retweeted Malinowski’s second post on the subject, including the pop-culture blogger Perez Hilton, who sent Sunil Tripathi’s name out to more than six million followers.
  • Reddit enjoyed record-breaking traffic numbers during the Boston coverage, and the company has always considered itself “content agnostic,” meaning that as long as what’s being posted is legal, Reddit will not intervene and take it down.
  • @YourAnonNews is very likely to surpass the Twitter following of most major American newspapers. The account is followed by hundreds of journalists, myself included. For those who dream of a post-Snowden utopia where no government and corporate secrets are protected, @YourAnonNews is one of the only trustworthy news sources out there.

IDENTITY CRISIS?: EBSCOhost - 0 views

    • Joseph Rhodes II
       
      Note 1: Stealing someone's identity in the world of Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter and other social networks - allied with a sea of easily obtained name, address and associated data from a wealth of free and low-cost online sources - is now so easy that cybercriminals are even offering DIY kits to novice criminals. If that wasn't enough, online underground I forums now act as a 'carder forums' where cybercriminals buy, sell and exchange identity and payment card sets for as little as $2.00 a time - rising to $6.00 if the identity on sale is that of an apparent high-flyer (e.g. a platinum card holder) located in the UK or premium income parts of the US such as New York City and Florida. Note 2: The carder forums - and the criminals who exchange data on them - have become highly sophisticated in the last few years, expanding their data-harvesting programs to encompass both legitimate and fraudulent e-commerce websites, as well as bribing members of low-paid staff in outsourced call centres, for whom $500 for a copy of their employer's database, or partial database, may be a highly enticing prospect. Note 3: Fraudulent websites are subtler. Since most savvy Internet shoppers now use price-comparison sites to seek out the best price on their travel tickets, CDs, DVDs and other essentials to their modern lifestyle, cybercriminals are known to create entirely bogus Web portals - suitably meta-tagged to allow Google and Yahoo to spider/screen scrape their data - designed to harvest customer card details and other credentials. Note 4:

This is fraud monétisation and identity theft on a one-stop basis.

  • Sidetrack opponents with name calling and ridicule.

  • 7. Question motives.
  • 8. Invoke authority.
  • 9. Play Dumb.
  • 10. Associate opponent charges with old news.
  • 11. Establish and rely upon fall-back positions.
  • 12. Enigmas have no solution.
  • 13. Alice in Wonderland Logic.
  • 14. Demand complete solutions.
  • 15. Fit the facts to alternate conclusions.
  • 16. Vanishing evidence and witnesses.
  • 17. Change the subject.
  • 18. Emotionalize, Antagonize, and Goad Opponents.
  • 19. Ignore proof presented, demand impossible proofs. This is perhaps a variant of the “play dumb” rule. Regardless of what material may be presented by an opponent in public forums, claim the material irrelevant and demand proof that is impossible for the opponent to come by (it may exist, but not be at his disposal, or it may be something which is known to be safely destroyed or withheld, such as a murder weapon). In order to completely avoid discussing issues may require you to categorically deny and be critical of media or books as valid sources, deny that witnesses are acceptable, or even deny that statements made by government or other authorities have any meaning or relevance.
  • 20. False evidence. Whenever possible, introduce new facts or clues designed and manufactured to conflict with opponent presentations as useful tools to neutralize sensitive issues or impede resolution.
  • 21. Call a Grand Jury, Special Prosecutor, or other empowered investigative body.
  • 22. Manufacture a new truth. Create your own expert(s), group(s), author(s),
  • leader(s) or influence existing ones willing to forge new ground via scientific, investigative, or social research or testimony which concludes favorably. In this way, if you must actually address issues, you can do so authoritatively.
  • 23. Create bigger distractions.
  • 24. Silence critics.
  • sh. If you are a key holder of secrets or otherwise overly illuminated and you
  • think the heat is getting too hot, to avoid the issues, vacate the kitchen.
