Microsoft has teamed up with a number of tech and media companies to create a system of tracing content around the internet that could destroy online privacy and anonymity, radically transforming the nature of the web.
Against stiff competition, the alliance of tech and media giants has devised a plan that may constitute Big Tech’s most brazen power-grab yet.
According to Microsoft’s press release, it has partnered with several other organizations to form the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA).
Put simply, the purpose of this organization is to devise a system whereby all content on the internet can be traced back to its author.
.....
According to Microsoft, the coalition was created for a single purpose: to stop the spread of “disinformation” — which, in modern establishment journo-speak, means information that challenges establishment narratives. Disinformation, based on how the word is used today, might as well be called dissident information.
......
We all know what this means by now. The difference is that instead of doing it via the censorship of online social media platforms and search engines, they are now going to do it at the level of offline software and hardware, most likely down to the most fundamental unit of computer hardware – the CPU. In other words, there will be nowhere to hide.
Even the brazen behavior of Facebook, Twitter, and Google over the past year — the election interference, the censorship of a President, the mass-censorship of grassroots political movements — pales in comparison to this.
This is Big Tech’s most dangerous plan yet.

This is Big Tech’s most dangerous plan yet.
Bring it all down, if anybody can. The entire internet. Worldwide. It was a mistake from the start.
It was mostly fun once.
I was watching a video at youtube on the work pc and was not signed in. It shows up at youtube on my home pc in the righthand side thumbnails.
I do log in on my Youtube app on my Roku each time I click on the Youtube app to view subscribed videos. The log in is stored at Roku. I am signed out automatically each time I close the app. All I do to sign in is click on an icon.
You can be tracked all over.
Gate$ has become a useful idiot of the CCP.

He’s compromised.
Bet on it.
“At the Partnership on AI meeting with (L-R) Eric Horvitz (Microsoft), Jatin Aythora (Chief Architect, BBC), Bruce MacCormack (CBC Radio Canada) and Marc Lavallee (Head of R&D, The New York Times). “
The Slimes has an R&D dept? Funded on their revenue?
Thanks for the post....
Apparently they even send data about images you copy and paste into Word documents. Note that Word will suggest surprisingly accurate text captions for images, but only when you have an internet connection. The text captions require significant machine learning analysis of the images.
Taking a screenshot of the picture of Microsoft's CEO from the original article results in a suggested caption of:
"A person in a suit and tie"
"Description automatically generated with low confidence"
Microsoft's word processing application is sharing data about every picture you paste into a document with some server somewhere on the internet. Who knows what else they are doing with that data.
They are getting you to help train their ai to recognize pictures more efficiently for free so they can track down people that make memes and influence voting decisions in unpredictable ways.
That’s likely. And they are embedding a significant intelligence gathering process on every office desktop. What intelligence agency wouldn’t like to be able to review every image posted into documents being created around the world.
Pencils and unlined paper coming back soon.
Dan Rather will be in a dither.
Get off all their crap
Only FREEREPUBLIC!!!!
Thank you Jim !!!
The strangest thing... I emailed the ‘Department of Human Services’ here in Hawaii today, including my SS#, and not even 10 minutes later I got a robo call saying that my number had been compromised. My number is a pre-paid (so not registered under my name).
It was one of those computer voice ones (red-dot Indians use), so I hung up. A second call claiming the same thing (with a different computer voice happened about 10 minutes later. I hung up on that one also.
Didn’t receive another call after that one. (both said to press 1 to be forwarded to something, or another).
I know I have used my name in gmail over the years.. and I also know that I included my SS# and phone number in that last email to SSA today... but this shows how fast information travels on the net (google).
I will be looking to buy a Proton mail account tomorrow.
(I was a BETA tester for gmail before it was released to the public :P )
