Faces etc On Berklix Sites
Deliberately Not Updated!
- Anyone with a face on berklix is believed to have consented to it,
Anyone who wants removal of their own face, let me know.
- Faces on Berklix sites are not
normally updated, but sometimes labeled with year taken,
sufficient to physically search a room for an organiser of a social event
- First they were not updated because too busy.
- Now not updated, since China floods the world with cheap
webcams, (many of which route back via China on the net,
& many of which have little or no security), & smart
CCTV
- Chinese government abuse facial recognition not only on
it own citizens, but presumably also noting anyone else of
foreign eg government interest, or scientists/ technologist
they might wish to steal trade secrets from, or foreign
politicians or journalists they think embarrassable or
blackmailable.
- As well as abusive governments, local or foreign,
there'll be abusive criminals with 3d printers & latex
face masks for bank robbers, perverts, blackmailers.
-
Do you want aggressors to have your correct data ?
Corrupt your personal data you give web forms !
- Always lie & give vendors etc a false date of
birth etc.
- Just note the false date of birth for that site with
your list of passwords, they're usually using it just as
a secondary unique identifier, they usually do Not really
need your exact date of birth.
- Your personal data is Yours, no damn vendor is
entitled to it.
- Most vendors are computer incompetent, & many
systems will be using Microsoft,
their PCs periodicaly infested by viruses harvesting
data, despite virus detectors being intrinsicaly
insufficient.
-
It's not just commercial vendors:
- My university alumni association was also
harvested by criminals, & they culpably paid the
criminals a ransom, so of course now I give them even
less data than before, My brother's alumni
association at a different university also had its
data stolen.
- UK city councils mostly use Microsoft, so don't trust them
either.
- Many arms of governments etc also use Microsoft, assume your personal data
will later become vulnerable to 3rd party abuse.
- Lie as often as possible to web forms. Assume
your personal data you give others will be stolen by
3rd parties some time. Assume Your data will be
stolen or bought by criminals, & used to try to defraud
or abuse you, or commit crimes in your name etc.

Notes to later merge in elsewhere eg
Index of Texts
- Way back when the web started, there were just
computer net techs & scientists
- no predatory criminals,
- no predatory lawyers, eg trawling web pages etc to
sue authors (eg German law uniquely allows 3rd
party unsolicited sue-ings & is also irresponsible in
not restricting trade marks to areas of activity, (ie PC
parts retailers in Schiller Str Munich, sued cos a CPU
international trademark supposedly competed with a German
washing powder trademark ! for more, search CT Mags re Guenter von
Gravenreuth & co. extending to predation of public
domain software
http://www.heise.de/news/Gravenreuth-Kanzlei-mahnt-P2P-Portal-emule-de-ab-93351.html
etc).
- No predatory companies threatening or asserting software patents , (eg BT
apparently considered they owned a patent on the click
function of hypertext - Shudder! (I think they backed off
on that claim, decades before, the Free Unix, BSD etc world lived in
fear of software patent issue of the S bit, but AT&T/
Bell labs released it to us. Way back SCO
announced they would drop out of Unix development &
concentrate on licensing software patents, creating more
shudders
- No spam, as no clueless public running Microsoft etc,
providing bases for viruses, that harvested everyone
else's contact info. (inc the contact info of even the
non clueless who had never run Microsoft but still
got spammed, cos they had mailed mail lists (eg inc. at
Berklix)
that relayed also to the clueless.
- If my paper resume/cv might have had
eg date of birth or similar, it hasn't for ages, as
data is also harvest-able from PDF Postscript & Tiff
etc, (if necessary using OCR) not just from plain text
& HTML.
- Never give a correct date of birth to humans or web
forms etc where a false will do just as well! .
- If you discover inadvertently published private info,
it's better not to delete those web files containing your
private data, but to just delete the sensitive parts,
or deliberately corrupt the sensitive parts.
Let harvester robots replace their old correct
sensitive pages with new corrupted/ expunged data.
- Be aware various projects periodically archive data
forever, eg Way Back
Machine of archive.org as well as search engine
companies
- Do periodic web searches of your data on line. I
discovered a number of obsolete copies of my web data, no
idea why they had it, & could only get rid of some
not all.
- Big government organisations eg
UK Companies House have been bad, publicising year of
birth of ex company directors & secretaries names
& home addresses, when it was obvious some
individuals were very old & might be vulnerable.
There's lots of clones of UK Companies House data on
entrapment sites, some way out of date, so even when/ if
UK Companies House fix their master, the copied old
versions will remain a hazard.
- Lie on principle to demanding people &
organisations wherever & whenever you can. Your false
age & contact info. become merely your extra
passwords for whichever aggressor extorted it from
you.
- Just the hassle remains, of you keeping a big list of
your deliberately false data
- Realise GDPR won't save you ! It may just lull people into a false sense of scurity.
(ul>
- Laws are only obeyed by reasonable people.
- GDPR is merely European
- Crimnals are global, elusive don't give a toss.
- Laws are often written by clueless naieve politicians.
- GDPR had a chilling effect on publishing.
I've known volunteer unpaid web publishers who've taken down various of their pages, just in case some might possibly contravene GDPR, which was so long they didn't want to waste their unpaid time reading it. Easier to just delete pages.
- GDPR is massively long, too tediously long to read unpaid.
If you believe people read the whole thing unpaid, you are naieve.
Only the minority of admins who are paid to read it as a specific part of of their paid job are likely to. There are an enormous amount of pages on the web by
people who are unpaid, & have no free time to waste. As usual paid politicians & civil servants etc wont have considered that when wasting the time of unpaid citizenry.
- I've seen GDPR procedure itself abused to abuse publishers.
- It's far better Never to give your data away,
than to give your data away, then try to get it deleted again - criminals wont delete, but sell it on, & unpaid volunteers dont want you wasting their time
unpaid first including then deleting data.
- If you ever suspect you might some time in future Not want your data our there - Don't give your data away now !.
