Can a 240-year-old Constitution protect your digital privacy?

0:00Music Helping to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, this is the Constitution study on the America Out Loud Network with your host Paul Engel. The Constitution was written before the Internet existed. How do we protect our rights? In the world where your papers are ones and zeros flying across the ether. Hello there, everyday Americans, Paul Engel here with the Constitution study, where we read, instead of the Constitution, teacher I can generally be very glad you could join me today. I've talked about this before, remember I spent 30 years working in IT, I spent 30 years working through with ones and zeros. And as I studied the Constitution, what other things I see quite frequently gets caught up in this question are the definition of papers and effects.

1:08The fourth and the fourth, you're right to be secure from unreasonable searches, a new person's house is pavement and an unreasonable search, a person in houses, those are pretty simple. But the papers and effects, how much of you don't deal with paper anymore? How many of your documents are now binary, they're digital files? And where are they? Are they on your hard drive? Are they in a cloud somewhere, do you storm with somebody else? To me brings up some interesting questions and I think some minor tweaks to the Constitution could be very helpful in resolving some of these issues. But I think we can still recognize our rights and how they are to be protected in a digital world. Now what breathes my attention was an article I saw called new study proposes creation of data rights associations to counteract AI abuses. According to the report to this was actually a an article done by Elizabeth Mitch Troutman Mitchell, she said AI threatens to disempower American families and communities in large part because those bedrock institutions lack of voice in shaping AI's course of development and its governance.

2:19Consequently, the incentives of tech corporations are often fundamental out fundamentally out of step with those. Okay, I see a lot of fear about AI and I kind of understand it because a lot of people they they fear don't don't understand and very often people pray on that and intention you're unintentionally kind of have this this view of or from this view of AI as something fundamentally dangerous. First of all, recognize AI is a bit of a misnomer is not artificial intelligence. It's imitation intelligence. The most famous quote unquote AI test is called the Turing test, which is can a computer imitating human being well enough that the human being can't tell the difference. That's the foundation of the Turing test. Now again, AI has some really powerful tools. AI as most people use it is primarily it's a language interface, right? You think think Star Trek, right?

3:22Where you simply talk to the computer and the computer answers that's a lot of when people talk about AI that's what they're really dealing with is a large language model that you talk to or you type it interpret your words and then goes and does something for you. In other words, rather than going to a search engine and saying find this information for me, you simply ask the computer computer answer this question and it turns your words into actions that goes out and does the search and then returns it. I mean, that's that's what most of it is. Now there are other things that that AI can do because of its speed. For example, we talk about and I'll talk about fly cameras and the ability to recognize license plates. It's been trained to pick out the letters and numbers of a license plate. And it can do that very, very fast and they can store that data in the court that data becomes easily searchable. Where the problem comes in is what do we do with this? And everyone's terrified of AI to me what terrifies me about AI is not AI.

4:26It's people's blind acceptance of what AI says. Now this report says that as a result, individuals household civil society institutions and small enterprises should be able to join or form new intermediaries called data rights associations to secure terms governing data collection and use from tech corporations, the institute, the according to the institute. I'm trying to figure out because first of the article doesn't link to the report and nothing in the article describes what are these data rights associations are talking about and how are they supposed to govern data collection. Because if you create data rights association, what legal power does it have to actually do anything? Is this just more again, fear mark, oh, I'll join an association. Okay, what's that association going to do? Let's say you and I decide we're going to create a digital rights association. We're going to write up rules governing data collection.

5:26How do we enforce that? How do we actually stand against anything happening? Again, there are methods, right? We have we have governments they can create laws within the sphere of their powers. We have courts where we can get redresses, we can get redress toward grievances. But I see this this reaction that this this fear of AI, driving people to a lot of strange things now maybe these data sent these data rights associations, maybe they've got a point. I haven't seen it because it's not in the article. My guess is it probably not probably this is just a will just create another guild and it won't let it do anything. I'm not entirely sure how this is supposed to level the playing field between a digital rights association and say anthropic or Google or Microsoft.

6:27But I wonder how many people are going to go running for these digital rights associations simply because well there's a report that says it'll save protect my rights. Really? How? Now again, I talked about flock and flock is getting a lot of pushback. Now flock is not the only manufacturer of automatic license plate readers. I think they're I think what's the largest but they've got they have quite a few according to one study there's there's over 120,000 flock cameras across the nation. And in fact there you can even find map three can see where they all are. But again, people get very upset about being photographed in public. Well, again, understand that you have no expectation of privacy in public. What you do in public people are going to see if people can see it, they can record it. The same thing with a flock camera the same reason the same way police officers can wear body cams.

7:27And you can take pictures of your kids running through the park and pick up other people while you're doing so. The collection of the data or you know, you don't have a right to not be photographed in public. I guess the best way I can put it to me. The problem is how these images are being used. Because flock cameras no longer are just looking at license plates. They're category they're actually scanning vehicles make model color bumper stickers damage. And others they're they're not simply keeping a record that they can search if they need it. They're taking a record and they're building an entire database of information about people. Now again, if you're the victim of say a crime and this camera will help find the criminal. That's a great thing. But we have to remember in a digital world, our rights don't disappear simply because they're in ones and zeros, not physical paper.

8:33So to me, the issue is less the photo the photography. It's more how is that data access. We've seen multiple instances of law enforcement officers reprimanded songs even criminally charged for abusing their access to this data. Right. We're doing unreasonable searches of this data. Or having the the the flock camera spit out an analysis and unreasonably seizing people because some tool spit out some data and never actually vetting it to see was an accurate. And of course this has led to a lot of backlash. There are a lot of there are several cities that have canceled their contracts with lock and other license plate readers. Some people have gotten a bit more directly involved. People cutting down cameras covering them with spray paint, destroying them with you know, baseball bats and other things because of this view.

9:38Again, whether that's a speed camera. Right. We've got the little things set up and it shows you your speed. It takes your picture or red light camera where if you go through a red light. It takes your picture. Flot cameras are nothing different in the photography side. It's the access to the data side. And that is where things are problematic. And that's where I think we need to see a lot more. We need to see a lot more aggressive redress of the grievance. For example, if someone searches the database for your car. Let's say I mean we had examples of law enforcement using these camera databases. To search for loved ones, right family members. That is a deprivation that there's unreasonable search. There's no crime involved. There's no reasonable article suspicion of a crime. That is an unreasonable search, which means it deprives you of a right protected by the Constitution. Fourth amendment, which makes it a federal crime punishable by fine and up to one year in jail, a teen USC section 242.

10:44If it's done under color of law, meaning if law enforcement of people have access to this are doing this, then that is a federal crime. Why are we not seeing more federal prosecutions? Not because I'm a fan of federal prosecutions, but if we're not, but we should see, we should see state local prosecutions. It is a crime to deprive someone of a right. And we have these why are we not seeing these. Now, again, people argue, well, you know, it's the problem. I promise to rent. We live in a surveillance state. Well, where's that line? Where's that line between okay to photograph and not okay to photograph? Like I said, is it the is it the red light camera? Is it the speeding camera? Because they at least have a traffic violation that was observed to initiate the quite possibly. But if you do that, you understand that. In a situation with say a child kidnapping, you may not be able to find the perpetrator's vehicle is quickly because you don't have access to to the data, which brings up another question.

11:52Is it simply the fact that this is collected and held historically? Right. Could the system be set up where yes, there's a kidnapping and we have a picture of the car. We have the license plate. You feed it into a system and you say go find it. But do you trust flock to actually manage the database? Do you trust flock to actually delete these photographs once they're taken? Do we trust them? Because remember, anyone of you have one of those Alexa's in your home, you know, we just say, hey, Alexa, and it responds. You do realize that Amazon is collecting all of that data and processing it, they use it to help train their systems. You have a ring doorbell camera, any of those cameras, those cloud based security cameras. They're collecting all that data and they're using it to process their day. And generally, their user agreements says they're going to lead it after a certain period of time. But Amazon has been found not deleting the data. I think their Amazon said 90 days and they've collected a hell on the data for much longer than that.

12:58We need to look at this to my mind a little differently. And I said, there's a tweak I'd like to see the Constitution. There's a tweak I'd like to see the fourth amendment. And not a replacement of it. I think it's great. But it would help us deal with the digital world. And that is to simply add not just a person's paper, person's papers and effects. Let's add, you know, documents and information about a person. I think with this way, remember when they passed HIPAA, you know, the Health and the Privacy Act, because you don't want your medical information being open to the public. Well, do you, that modification for the amendment, its information about you, shouldn't that be secure from persons, how does this paper, person's effects? Let's say that you're working on a project with a friend and you share it via Dropbox or iCloud or Google Docs or something.

14:03Wouldn't you like that to have the same fourth amendment protections as a piece of paper you have in your home? That's the scenario, I think, that would fix a lot of this. That to me is my recommendation is that we look at it this way. And again, I think I see flock being a, and that flock specifically the automatic license plate readers, it is a tool. And it's a tool that supposedly hoping to help him to keep us safe. But I also go back to Benjamin Franklin that said those who will give up essential liberties for the promise of temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. I have to wonder, and not just the photographs, but the collection of that data and the use of that data about other people. Are we giving up an essential liberty in order to get to be to take the promise of safety that maybe isn't as promising as we help as we hope.

15:10Then so easily abused and there's so little consequences for people who do abuse them. I don't know, it's certainly worth something, but I've got some more ideas I want to cover, but before I get there, I have to take a break. And if we talk about surveillance states, boy, remember when they tried to surveil us during COVID, right, they wanted you to have a vaccine card and they want on your phone and they want to track you and they wanted to scan to come in. They truly was creating a surveillance state. Thankfully, we were able to stop that. But there are plenty of other effects of COVID, not just what government did, but COVID itself, long COVID, vaccine injury, shedding. What do you do? Well, our friends at the wellness company have come up with a product called daily spike support. It is designed to block and dissolve the spike protein. That's the toxic part.

Now is our time, my fellow Americans, America out loud dot news, liberty and justice for all.

20:30Welcome back every day, American Trippie. Join the Constitution study day. We're talking about protecting our rights in the digital world. You're recognizing that when the Constitution was written, computers didn't exist. And even the latest amendment, the one ratified in 1992, actually written back in the 1780s. So, you know, it was computers are new. But the beautiful thing about most of the Constitution is it was written with general ideas in mind. So when they talk about persons, houses, papers, and effects in the fourth amendment, it's designed to encompass a lot of things. And I contend that your digital content are your effects regardless of where they're currently being stored. Although courts have disagreed with me, but I would make that the thing which is why I suggest a minor modification of amendment to the fourth amendment that would protect information generated by us.

21:32Or about us by the fourth amendment, but that's not. But the biggest issue to me isn't so much the digital world. It's the people we have that are creating and enforcing laws. For example, New York attorney general, letitia James, she's kind of got a reputation for being an anti-Trumper. She's definitely been out to get Trump. In fact, I think she actually ran on getting Trump. And now we have a new report, the assistant attorney general, Daniel Wyzenfeld, who was a formerly a Brooklyn prosecutor. He sent an email to the entire agency, including the New York Times and just the news. And he claimed that his bureau chief, Shamiso Musa-Wolsaid, had instructed him to find and pursue crimes committed by specific individuals and organizations affiliated with Donald Trump.

22:35Now, this is the old added right? Show me the person. I'll show you the crime. I believe that's attributed to Stalin. But again, going after not just Trump, but organizations affiliated with him, true social, even apparently he'll have Packard. Not sure their association with Trump, but that's part of the articles written is even after their merger with Jupiter, Juniper Networks was approved. The New York Attorney General's office went after them, were targeting them because they were affiliated somehow with Trump. Now, I ask you, how are you right protected when you have people like that in office? Again, she ran for office and she ran claiming that she was going to get Donald Trump. That was kind of her mantra. Whether you're talking about digital properties or not, how are your rights protected with people like that that are executing the laws of the United States?

23:40Remember, the Attorney General of the state is the chief law enforcement officer of the state, part of the executive branch, and again, has a lot of power. But this is the person that was put in place to faithfully execute the laws of the state and she's targeting a person for federal office. So it's not simply, I understand that, you know, so the rules are written in a way that doesn't necessarily directly relate to digital products automatically, but again, the Constitution was looked at things more generally. But it really matter. Does it really matter what the Constitution says when somebody says, hey, I'm going after this guy and you should, you should vote for me for office because I'm going after a political opponent. I'm going, I'm looking to prosecute him. Now, again, if you if the assumption is that he did something criminal, then you investigate him. But yeah, again, it's not simply whether our rights are protected in the digital world.

24:50It's who's supposed to be protecting our rights. Here's another example. So the Department of Health and Human Services on Constitutional Agency released a study by research from Rutgers University, the Manhattan Institute and the Network Contangent Research Institute said, you know, there's been a lot of studies about, you know, those who oppose what they call gender affirming treatments, I call them, you know, gender denying treatments, because yet it denies a person's sex or gender. But they said, you know what, no one's ever looked at the other side of the equation, is there a way to predict support for this gender ideology. What they found was that this gender really plays into what they're for those left wing authoritarianism. From the report, I see a quote psychological profile characterized by aggression toward perceived oppressors, enthusiasm for top down censorship and institutional enforcement and hostility towards conventional social institutions in short, an authoritarian disposition organized around left rather than right political content.

25:59Okay, that to me is a little interesting. Maybe we can expand on that a little bit. Again, there's according to the looking at the report, the other says in the case of gender ideology, much of the political content has been generated by supposedly neutral organizations such as medical societies. According to the report, these groups, clinical guidance documents are presented as science. Now, what does this have to do with the right to a digital world? Well, what we're finding is, there's nothing new about yellow journalism. You go all the way back to the beginning of the country. You should see the presidential race between John Adams and Tom Jeff, Thomas Jeff, the vitriol in the papers from the very beginning, but even before we were a country, that's, you know, the papers are nothing new. What I see most interesting is two things. One is information seems to come faster. You know, it used to be if something happened, you had to wait for the evening news to come on or for the newspaper the next day to find out what was going on.

27:06The rate of information coming at you was much slower. That change in the digital world. The other thing that changed is both has had a lot of benefits and a lot of detractors. And that is what's offered is democratization of news, meaning you don't have to go to the major networks to get your news. You can be just a person with a web account that can create news articles. The problem, the great thing about this is it means corporate media isn't shaping the news. The downside is we often don't bother vetting so-called news. So and so said this. All right, what's their evidence? Well, so and so said it. Yeah, but where's your evidence? Well, so and so said it. Yeah, I heard you heard you the first two times. I had to first three times with evidence. See, a lot of people make a lot of claims and there's no evidence behind it. We now have to take on the role.

28:08We are really should have had all along of verifying the information was you'll regains any trust but verify we need to verify that are now our responsibility. Now, when it comes to protecting your rights, people can say anything they want. They could have their opinions. They can express their opinions. I encourage them to do so. It not only tells me who to trust it tells me who not to trust. When I when I see someone says that a boy can be a girl because they think so. I know not to trust pretty much anything that they're saying. When you know when when someone tells me that you know the United States is a is a federal corporation. Well, where's your evidence? And they point to like the what's on first is the corporation after the DC organic act and says, no such thing. I've read it. I've looked for it. Where's the data? To protect our rights now become something we must do more. We can't simply take a word. And again, even from this this HHS study just because it came from the federal government doesn't mean it's true.

29:12I think they've got a fair amount of bases and again. It's not an all or nothing right. I know a lot of people who are pro transgender delusion that are not violent. I know a lot of people who are not pro that are violent. I think violence is violence. And I think there's a mentality that's been developed where this idea of I am so right. That I can do something wrong in support of being right and it's okay. It's kind of the the it's the false Robinhood presence right because what we wrote Robinhood stole from the rich to give to the poor. The fact that stealing is wrong didn't matter because he was giving it to the poor. That made it okay. There's a couple of problems that one. It's historically inaccurate. Robinhood didn't steal from the rich. He stole from the people who stole from the poor. He stole from the illegal taxes and whatnot. And he gave it back to the people it was stolen from.

30:21But this idea that it's okay. The Jean Valjean right. He went to prison for stealing bread to feed his starving family. Well stealing is wrong. It's it's it's a criminal act. And the fact that he the way he was treated that I believe the punishment far outweighed the crime. He stole he made a decision that breaking the law was not as a following the law was not as important as feeding his family. He made that decision. He suffered the consequences. I think the consequences. Again, it's a story. It's fiction, but they were there were way beyond a reasonable, but it's this idea that it's okay for me to burn and loop because I'm protesting for some great thing like you know George Floyd. In the digital world news. It follows so fast and people are so obsessed with getting it first. We've lost this idea of verifying first. It's one of the reasons why the Constitution study is not news program. I'm not looking for the news. I'm looking to analyze. I'm looking to take a breath and see what's going on.

31:26But again, coming to this idea of protecting our rights in in in in the digital world. Again, we can't just focus on the digital world. I see a new report from we have the House education and workforce committee chaired by Tim Walberg, who I guess they're investigating the use of these transgender dolls in elementary school. It's a university of Minnesota Medical School Institute for gender for sexual and gender health has created a product called these transgender dolls and basically it's dolls of well, it's boys and girls with interchangeable parts. Now again, in a in a in a world where news flies everywhere and ideas can can can morph and grow like a contagion. This idea of transgenderism has grown to the point where now you have allegedly allegedly medical institutions promoting children to believe that they can change their gender with surgery and hormones.

32:36And of course, this gets spread through the ethernet right with the ether. They've the my gender dolls actually has a website that talks about having expansion packs quite sure since apparently they don't describe it. So the question, but the other question I want to bring up is, well, is it up to the House, the Congress to investigate this? Now, I suppose you could say well, Congress can determine whether or not they're going to fund schools that use these products. Of course, those funds are unconstitutional begin with, but okay, I could kind of see that. But I'd love to have a real realistic conversation. A about what these schools are trying to teach the children, they're ignoring science, they're ignoring biology and an attempt to teach to propagandize a political ideology. But I also love to talk about funding and why is the federal government funding schools?

33:40The funding education is not a power delegated to United States. It's unconstitutional for them to do so. It's embezzling money for the American people. Now, the advantage I have is because this program is digital, well, it can spread really far and wide. And I want to be careful because I make sure that the message I'm spreading I can I can support. But think about it until recently, unless I was a somebody on a major network or a major radio station, you wouldn't, you may not hear about this. You may not hear about the, the my gender dollars, you may not have heard about the HHS report or study that was released. You may not have heard about this. It's like anything else, technology is neither good nor bad. It's how we use it. Now, I've got some of the things I want to get into, but before I do that, I do have to take a break. I want to remind you though, you know, we all have choices.

34:42We live in an internet world, we live with wireless phones, we have our phones on us all the time. And we, generally pay for those services, right? Where's that money going? Well, yeah, it's going to your service provider once they, what are they doing with it? See, there are a lot of companies I stopped doing business with because I didn't like what they were doing with my money once I paid for their service. That's one of the reasons why I joined Patreon mobile. I wanted to buy from a company that believed what I believed and put their money where they're mouth is. Yes, Patreon mobile is America's only Christian and conservative wireless provider. That is not what I joined them. They've got great 4G and 5G coverage and all the same networks and towers as the major carriers. That is not why I joined them. They're customer support, 1% US base. Again, not why I joined them. I joined them because they take a portion of every dollar to support organizations that are fighting for my rights. If you don't have religion, speech, press to be secure from unreasonable searches and seizures, not be denied due process.

35:45They also support the sanctity of life, veterans and our first responders, all things I'm 100% behind. I joined them. So join me, switch to Patreon mobile to the gay, get free activation by using the code Constitucia checkout. I became an affiliate a while back because I so, not only did I enjoy the service I got, but I was so impressed by how they spend their money. That means if you go to patreonmobile.com.sus Constitution and find a plan that works for you. When you pay yourself phone bill, you're helping to support the Constitution study. By the way, are you one of those veterans, a first responder? Are you just a family with multiple lines? You may be eligible for discounts as well.

And then use the code Constitucia checkout to get free activation. And you're doing that with a great company that only supports our veterans and our first responders, but these great organizations that are fighting for our rights and for our liberties.

36:53Now, I also hope you'll swing by America at loud.news. We're talking about news. Where do you get your news? We live in the information age. We get digital news everywhere. Where do you get yours? See, I'm looking for a place that I can trust you still verify. For me, one of those is America at loud.news. I trust them because I've looked at the news I've gotten from them and it's pretty good. When I research it, when I verify that the data is correct, it comes up true. That's why I go there. It's more important than ever that we do something with this. In other words, don't just read the stories and articles. Share them. You'd be surprised many people will come back and I didn't know that was going on. So when you listen to the podcast, you watch the videos, share them, friends, family, neighbors, social media, civic groups, anywhere you can. See, it's the sharing of this information. It's letting other people know the news that the corporate media doesn't want them to know. That doesn't just promote America at loud. It helps secure the blessings of liberty for all of us.

Today we can talk about protecting our rights in a digital world. And let's face it, these are worlds, a bit of a wild, wild west.

40:12There's a lot that goes on out there that what we have to take care of ourselves if we're waiting for someone else to protect us, we're probably in trouble. For example, X, formerly Twitter, they just uncovered a ginormous Chinese botnet 200,000 bot accounts linked to Chinese, the communist Chinese government. Now, according to the X's safety team, they made a statement back on August 27th that said just 200 accounts within this network posted material looking to influence US debate over guess what artificial intelligence and energy policy. Gee, if that was just 200, I wonder what the other 109,800 bots were doing. I've been I've heard people saying this was a scan. This is a an influence operation wasn't entirely sure, but if this is true, if these accounts, these Chinese accounts were trying to influence our debate about artificial intelligence, then maybe the statements I've been making all along.

41:27I'm right. I think I'm more correct than I thought. Again, I spent 20 years working in data centers. And yes, they consume tremendous amounts of electricity when I started back in the late 90s. An average server was by seven and a half inches high and had 150 watt power supplies. When I left back in the late 29, 20, 10s I guess, a server was about less than two inches tall and had 500 watt power supplies. Now there's the amount of energy that got packed with smaller and smaller area. So you'd have a huge amount of power consumption. And of course that power creates heat and dissipating that heat is an issue. Now that's, oh it's the water. They don't use water as a primary coolant. They use water as a heat conduit. Right?

42:27So they run chilled water through systems to dispel heat. And sometimes they will chill that water with ammonia-based refrigerants. Sometimes they'll use, if they have a large body of water, they'll use that as a heat sink. But it's, you know, this whole idea, we can't get rid of these data centers. We have to get them getting all these cities and counties to stay through to stop data centers. Maybe that's part of a Chinese influence operation. Because again, you want to get rid of data centers. You got to get rid of your smartphones. And your smart TVs, and your Amazon, and your Netflix account, all of that disappears with that data center. So let's be a little more intelligent about that. But also remember that just because you, someone said, does me was actually human that said it. It could have been a bot. How do you tell? You look for actual evidence. You can verify through other sources. Hmm. What a concept.

43:27Facts in data. Speaking of facts and data, remember when was it the Richmond memo? That's the FBI memo about, you know, having to to spy on the Roman Catholic churches and how churches with Latin mass had, you know, had to be, were, were, were, were spied on. Well, a new report from the DOJ claims that FBI personnel open investigations into two Roman Catholic preach, a priest and conducted surveillance all based on that Richmond Catholic middle that was later claimed. First it was claimed it didn't, it didn't exist. Then it was debunked. The report shows how this, this, you know, violent extremist investigation led to, well, watching out, you know, investigating traditional Catholic masses. It also showed new light on internal disputes about there's tower liable. The Southern poverty law center information actually is.

44:29Notice how much of it is just, again, fake data. Add that to the fact that that they were funding, they called them insiders or informants on some of the very groups they were trying to shut down. Yeah, make sure under maybe in a digital world, we need to be a bit more circumspect about what we actually trust because these are not in consequential activities. I mean, this report showed that the FBI opened investigations into two Roman Catholic priests. They looked at their travel at their contacts. They conducted surveillance on them. How would you feel knowing that maybe you went to one of these priests for some, for confession or for some advice, only to find out that, yeah, you were being tracked by the FBI because they wanted their contacts. And maybe the next time someone throws out, well, you're on the SBLC's hate map.

45:32Maybe you'll ask yourself, well, is that really a hate map or is that just a, we disagree with the SBLC map? Could be. You'll have to see one more. I want to take a look at. And that is Ivermectin. Do you remember when Ivermectin was considered a horse-paced? It was horse-paced. They said, if you eat horse-paced, you deserve to die. I remember those. Now yes, I've used Ivermectin in horses to prevent worms, yes, as a paste. But Ivermectin has also been used as an anti-paracidic and other treatments in human beings. In fact, I believe we want an Oble piece for an Oble prize for its effectiveness, especially the fact that it's inexpensive. Well, Ivermectin won't be once again becoming to the rescue. Have you heard about the New World's screwworm? It's this natural parasite. It's a bug that lays its eggs in animals and the eggs, when they hatch, literally consume the animal from the inside.

46:33It's nasty. Well, the FDA, another illegal agency, they've recently approved using a generic form of Ivermectin as an injectable for cattle to help prevent a screwworm. Now I do hold some concerns because this was an emergency use authorization. The EUA allows you to use within 24 hours after birth or when other procedures are up or when a wound appears. It's being used in, well, Gary Couse. Once again, we see Ivermectin maybe coming to the rescue when America is most in need. And I wonder just how much of the stories about Ivermectin and how it was not safe in human beings after being, again, that only approved by the FDA, but winning an Oble prize, how

47:35much of the fear-mongering about it was generator or hype because, well, it's in the digital world. Then again, there's also a lot of vaccinated disproving that hype in the digital world, which kind of brings it back to my point. See the digital world is neither good nor evil. It's popular with people, sometimes real people, sometimes programmed bots that are programmed by people, but it's people. And we have all the same human failings in the digital realm that we do in the physical realm. In fact, I would say in the digital realm, since we are not in direct contact, some of our worst aspects like to come out, we tend to be meaner in the digital realm than I think we are in person realm. And maybe that tells us a lot more about us than we may want to admit to. So let's get back to the original question. How do we protect our rights in the digital world?

48:37Well, start with recognizing that anything you put on the internet is basically fair game. Even if it's encrypted. Let's start with the most common things. Email. Most people don't realize is that email generally travels across the internet unencrypted. It's not, unless you're using software that encrypts it, by default, email is unencryptive. Anybody can see it. And it's not a direct point to point. It passes through several servers from your email to the destination email. And anywhere along the way is logging that information. And that email is sitting on their server. It's visible. It's email is not secure. You think about a snap, like maybe a chat product, like a telegram or these others that are say, we're end to end encrypted. It's better, right? Because the data is going is encrypted and to end.

49:38That's important. It's end to end encryption. It doesn't mean the systems in between don't know that you're talking. It merely know doesn't know the content of what you're saying. And that's important from certain legal and privacy standards, right? Because remember, no matter what governments, like they have, they have these things called subpoenas. And they like to go to these tech companies and say, give me everything on John Doe. Here's your category, everything on John Doe. And most companies simply turn it over because there's not a benefit to them defending John Doe's rights for the most part. So anything that goes through there assume that not only could a hacker get access to it, but a, the government can get access to it via a simple subpoena, not a warrant, right? Not probable cause, not author affirmation, just a request from a government entity. Once you get past email, of course, that also covers all of your social media, Facebook,

50:40X, true social, all of that stuff. The data is on those servers. And even if a hacker doesn't get them, the government generally just has to ask and they gain access to it. What if you use an online accounting software, right? There's something that like a quick in where, you know, it's easy. It's convenient anywhere you can do it. You can pay your bills, you can do all of that stuff. All of that data is stored on their systems. All of that data can be accessed not just by a hacker, but by a government actor with a simple subpoena in general. Sometimes they push back. But for the most, so pretty much everything you do online, you understand that not only it could have be attacked by a hacker, but it could be requested by the federal government and generally it's turned over. That's why for me, I drive my accountant nuts, right? He for years, he wanted me to use an online bookkeeping software and I refused because

51:41that was critical information. That information doesn't get stored on the internet. You think about Dropbox, iCloud, OneDrive, all these still Google Docs. They're very helpful. But again, all that information is on their systems. All that information they often use to train their own algorithms and AI's and all that data they generally hand over if the government simply asks for it. So you don't really want to put anything critical on any of those. Does that mean I don't use those products? I use those products. But what I put out there is something that I don't find secret. It's not confidential. I don't put my bookkeeping out there. I don't put a lot of private information. Now I have an advantage, I get 30 years 19. I have a home cloud setup and a lot of people say I couldn't possibly do that. You need to find somebody a little bit of help and you can actually set these things up

52:43that provide pretty much the same services as a Dropbox or an iCloud, but without the security exposure. But you have to make a decision and everyone's going to be different. How much is your privacy worth? Is the convenience of using the Dropbox or the online accounting software or the messaging outweighed by the concerns of what could happen if that data got loose? We just think about all the stuff you do on text and email and all that. What happens if that data gets loose? I think that's what we have to do. We have to decide for ourselves how we're going to protect our rights. Yes, it may mean giving up certain conveniences, but you're doing it is an exchange for greater security. That's a decision you have to make and you have to make it for all the different products

53:46you may use. Life or as my daughter says, that's adulting. Now, if you have questions, I'm more than happy to answer questions. Just go to constitutionstudy.com slash questions and ask your question. You can also email me at questions at constitutionstudy.com. I do need your name and email address because I'm going to email your response and I'll do the best. The only thing I ask is that you not be mean, I want you to be polite, and that your question has something to do with the program or the constitution. So there's something around the constitution. I've occasionally had people ask me questions that have nothing to do with the kind of like, I'm not researching that at this point that I don't have time. But I love answering questions. By the way, if you'd like me to answer the question on the radio, just check the box on the web form or just note it in your email and I'll be more than happy to answer your

54:47question right here on the constitution study. And as I love answering questions, I love it for two reasons. One, well actually I love it for three reasons. So reason number one is if you have a question, you need an answer. That's how most people learn is by getting their questions answered. It helps me because it makes me double check my sources to make sure that the answers I'm using here are supported by evidence. And the third thing is, well, it really gives me a clue as to what my audience is thinking. If you ask a question, that may be a topic for another future program, which by the way, the question you can always ask. So again, head to constitution study.com slash questions or email me questions at constitution study.com and ask your question. I'll be more than happy to answer it to the best of my ability.
