— The high-tech Jim Crow era: How your data is being weaponized. – CHRIS REED (DIERSEN: Of course, my critics/opponents want the following to give me a very low “social credit score:” the leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, Wheaton’s West District, Wheaton, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Milton Township, DuPage County’s 4th District, DuPage County, and Illinois.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/opinion/commentary/ct-opinion-online-data-surveillance-20200811-qcrxivpe2ndldhwbeh6busaxuu-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In 2014, China announced it would set up a system to judge its citizens: on their trustworthiness, their public and social media behavior, the wisdom of their purchasing habits, how often they play video games, their interactions with law enforcement and government officials, whether they clean up after their dogs and more. Many pundits and academics saw this as an extraordinary step by an authoritarian state to enforce conformity on its 1.3 billion-plus residents. China isn’t doing this just to nudge people to be better citizens. Instead, it is punishing or rewarding them based on their “social credit score.” High rankings ensure quicker processing of government documents, better access to goods and housing, and other sorts of preferential treatment. Low rankings reduce or eliminate access to many goods, public and private services, and travel options. Beijing actively shames individuals it finds wanting. A cellphone app produces a graphic showing those nearby who are socially “deficient” and why they are considered untrustworthy. As Newsweek reported in 2018, the biggest sin of all is being a government critic. It detailed how an investigative journalist who had gone after official corruption found his daughter denied access to good schools, among many other penalties. Shades of “1984.” Yet as many publications have pointed out, the United States has a de facto equivalent — except it is overseen by private companies, not the government. These firms use artificial intelligence-driven algorithms to vacuum up a stunning variety of information points collected automatically by cellphone applications and off the internet. They use this data to make sweeping judgments about Americans — all without transparency about what goes into these judgments.)

(FROM THE PRESS RELEASE: The DuPage County Board voted Tuesday to put three referendum questions on the November 2020 General Election ballot. Two questions seek the voters’ opinion on law enforcement issues: The first asks about funding for law enforcement while the second asks about law enforcement training methods. The third question asks voters about whether the County should stockpile personal protective equipment to protect against a further outbreak of COVID-19. “Residents have expressed a great deal of interest in these topics in recent months. Voters will share their opinions about public safety, weighing in on questions of public safety and actions we take to ensure the public health. Residents will provide us important feedback as we continue to work through the challenges presented by these unprecedented times,” said Chairman Dan Cronin. The referendum questions will appear on the ballot as follows: “Shall DuPage County continue to consider financial support of law enforcement and public safety its top budgeting priority?” In order to fight the spread of COVID-19, shall DuPage County obtain a stockpile of personal protective equipment for distribution to nursing homes, first responders, health care providers, and at risk communities who are not otherwise able to obtain personal protective equipment?” “Shall DuPage County continue to fund and support training methods that decrease the risk of injury to officers and suspects for local law enforcement agencies?”)

Atlkins told the newspaper that protesters are “demanding that police be defunded. Police should not be here.” Atkins also suggested that the looting that took place was justified. “I think [the looting] is fine. People protest however they need to. People do whatever they need,” she said. “These businesses have insurance. They can get it all back. We can’t get our lives back once they kill us.” In videos posted on Twitter by LaRiviere, Atkins is heard telling the crowd outside the station: “We are in a pandemic. People are about to face evictions in numbers we have never seen before. “People don’t have a job. Why is [Chicago Mayor Lori] Lightfoot so stressed about some buildings when people are dying? “Why is she so OK with us being beaten and gassed, our lives threatened? Why is she so willing to put us away for life for looting?” In a tweet on Monday night, Black Lives Matter Chicago wrote: “Multiple people have been released since we started rallying. Direct action works.” Black Lives Matter Chicago have been contacted for additional comment.)

That work required assuring the accuracy and support for each and every word, number, table, graph, chart, conclusion, opinion, and recommendation in GAO reports. I worked for IRS 1971-1980, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $85,084-$96,431/year. My other fact checking qualifications include my becoming a Forensic Accountant in 1997, Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, licensed CPA in 1981, Certified Internal Auditor in 1981, and CPA in 1979.)

— The man Google loves to hate. Mississippi’s former AG waged a nine-year battle with Google that prompted the company to take him to court — provoking states that are now pursuing a potentially devastating lawsuit. – LEAH NYLEN (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes are overjoyed that Google continues to refuse to treat www.gopillinois.com as being a news website.)
https://www.politico.com/news/2020/08/10/jim-hood-google-392585
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Jim Hood antagonized Google for nine years as Mississippi’s attorney general, going after the internet giant for enabling the sale of illegal drugs, allowing pirated content to flourish online and serving up targeted ads to children. And Google fought back: Hood holds the title of the only U.S. public official the company has ever sued. Now Hood has returned for more. Earlier this year, he signed on as a consultant to the massive, multistate investigation into the company’s dominance online. Forty-eight states, D.C. and Puerto Rico are expected to file an antitrust suit against the company this fall — one that, paired with a federal antitrust probe, represents the biggest regulatory threat to Google’s business yet. The twin efforts target the heart of Google’s business: advertising and search, which are key to the company’s $160 billion annual revenue. The states’ decision to bring on Hood, who stepped down in January following an unsuccessful bid for governor, suggests they are expecting a drawn-out legal battle that will require persistence, and maybe a bit of an attack dog. “Dealing with Google is like dealing with a teenager,” the 58-year-old Democrat said in an interview. “They don’t follow the norms that other businesses do. Google will tell you one thing and do something different.” During his 16 years as Mississippi AG, Google was Hood’s biggest — and most elusive — target, spanning issues including antitrust, privacy, intellectual property theft and the power of state attorneys general to investigate tech. While other states and agencies opened investigations into Google during the same years, Hood mostly operated independently and kept going long after the others settled or let their cases drop.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Because District 65, which includes students from Evanston and Skokie, won’t force teachers to work on-site, school buildings may not be able to accommodate all students who would like to come back to their classrooms. In that event, Superintendent Devon Horton reportedly said, the district would give priority to “Black and Brown students,” and others it considered to be “marginalized” or “oppressed.” “This decision aligns directly to the guidance released by the Illinois State Board of Education on June 23 in using an equity lens to implement and transition into blended learning. This was also a top idea recommended by our Community-based Task Force,” school district spokeswoman Melissa Messinger told Fox News. “As a community deeply committed to educational equity, we will continue to root our decisionmaking on how to best serve our most vulnerable student populations.”)

https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2020/08/human_resources_and_cancel_culture.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Current human resource (HR) policies deliberately misuse terms such as diversity and equity to achieve political ends. That isn’t news. But the process by which those terms were twisted into their current shapes is worth a look. Likewise, it is important to see how their current usage is grounded in economic ignorance and unsound ethics. Sadly, the resultant HR policies — including microaggression training and gender-and-race training — feed a growth industry of diversity hucksters. These quick-buck artists subvert productive corporate meritocracies and replace them with systems that enshrine mediocrity, manufacture complaints, and generate resentment – not to mention whining and pearl clutching. Even worse, the dismal results of these programs only seem to validate those who started them! The dysfunctional corporate cultures they create give politically motivated HR staff an opportunity to “referee” disputes among their newly infantilized employees. Meanwhile, adults who just want to do their jobs well, get paid, and go home are marginalized or driven off – as in the case of Google engineer James Damore; scores of editors, journalists, and columnists; and university professors in the U.S. and Canada.)

KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE
— Two committee chairmen sent Kane County Board Chairman Chris Lauzen a letter ordering him to back off from trying to direct day-to-day operations of county departments or department heads. – BRENDA SCHORY
https://www.kcchronicle.com/2020/08/06/county-board-members-tell-lauzen-to-back-off-from-supervising-county-employees/atc6fn5/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: ‘I don’t work for them’ Lauzen said he works six days a week while county board members come in six to eight times per month – so how could they possibly know what is happening day-to-day in the county? “Being County Board Chairman is so much more than cutting ribbons and running meetings,” Lauzen said. “I have weekly manager meetings with all department directors to help those managers – not only to help them in their areas, but also to share information in what is happening and how we can work together.” Lauzen criticized the letter as harsh. “They are going about this in a crude way,” Lauzen said, of Hoscheit and Martin. “I don’t work for them. I work for 532,000 people (of Kane County) and they expect proper behavior.” Lauzen recounted his expertise, being a Harvard MBA, an Illinois CPA, who spent 20 years in the Illinois Senate and who built a multi-million accounting practice in five years. “What you need is somebody like that to produce results to give board members these easy votes,” Lauzen said. “They want to diminish that.”)

They paint themselves as being operatives or as being dupes a) for those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton’s West District, Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County’s 4th District, DuPage County, and/or Illinois; b) for those who were candidates on ballots in my precinct; and/or c) for those who I have sued.)
https://newschannel20.com/news/local/new-ordinance-aims-to-add-respect-in-city-council
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The amended rules allow for the council to punish a fellow alderman with a verbal reprimand or a censure if they deem it necessary. A censure is basically a formal time-out. “Well obviously, Alderman McMenamin made some comments that were taken offensive and he apologized for that, but that is probably what warranted this ordinance to come forth,” Ward 1 Alderman Chuck Redpath said. Redpath thinks this ordinance is worded in a way that will help the council discussions and does not impact free speech or feed the cancel culture. “I think the message is clear that we need to treat the council meetings in a professional integrity manner and I think that you will see that in the future,” Redpath said.)

LEXOLOGY
— Journalism and copyright: what is protected by copyright law in Greece? (DIERSEN: What do you say to my critics/opponents who viciously demonize, viciously denigrate, and viciously condemn my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails as lacking “original work?” I should write a book about my critics/opponents. They do everything that they can to make work done by others look like it was done by them. They should do what I do, namely, a) highlight the sources of articles, b) highlight the titles of articles, c) highlight the authors of articles, and d) provide the unhidden hyperlinks of articles. It is called full attribution.)
https://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=ee0b6ef6-8200-4e98-98ad-f242789959ad

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Greek jurisprudence and legal theory set out that a work is ‘original’ if it has an element of ‘personal intellectual creation’ and reflects the author’s personality. More specifically, a work is an original expression of an individual’s mind when it contains an element of personal contribution and individuality. Another criterion applied by the Greek courts is statistical uniqueness, according to which a work is original when no other author could have created the same work under the same circumstances. According to Article 2(5) of the Copyright Law, copyright protection does not extend to news information or simple facts and data. As such, mere facts and information on current affairs fall outside the scope of protection if they are limited to the reporting of events and contain no element of personal contribution (eg, evaluation, criticism or interpretation). To constitute an original work of intellectual property and thus be protectable under the Copyright Law, a journalistic work must therefore contain an element of individuality and personal contribution, particularly with regard to the selection, composition, elaboration and adaptation of its content.)

https://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/hinsdale/ct-dhd-hidden-stories-tl-0813-20200806-buvf6vapqfeafie2gzsgwmvite-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Mryan said she was particularly troubled by a comment made on social media about the Hinsdale Black Lives Matter group. “They said that Hinsdale is a utopia, so why would we want this here,” she said. “If it’s going to be a utopia, hearing these stories is very important.” Mryan said all submissions of experiences are anonymous, a decision the group made after consideration. “It was about weighing the possibility of someone making up a story that is told versus the possibility of someone with a story not telling it,” she said. “I have faith in the people who are sharing their stories.” The Hinsdale Black Lives Matter group attracted about 500 people to its June 6 demonstration. Mryan said the demonstration was organized in the wake of the May 25 death of George, but added that there is more to it than that incident.)
