Deceived by Design

August 2018 - by Justin Arn

A rather good introduction to the techniques and subterfuge employed by tech companies to fool users into giving up their privacy was produced by the Consumer Coucil of Norway

Scott Noble has produced an incredible series of documentaries which you can find at http://metanoia-films.org/

The films are offered free via Vimeo and the series illuminates topics ranging from the history of the CIA and Counterintelligence, to the Occupy Wall Street Movement and the philosphical justification and substructure of our current social, economic, and political systems.

The following is part one of four in Noble's Counter-Intelligence documentary. This opening segment, entitled "The Company" examines the history of CI in the United States

"To understand the potential costs of failing to engage at the level of method, consider theInnocence Project’s recent investigation of 268 criminal trials in which evidence from hair analysis had been used to convict defendants. In 257 of those cases, the organization found forensic testimony by FBI scientists to be flawed — a conclusion the FBI does not dispute. What is more, each inaccurate analysis overstated the strength of hair evidence in favor of the prosecution. Thirty-two defendants in those cases were eventually sentenced to death, of whom fourteen have either died in prison or have been executed. This is an extreme example of how straightforwardly deferring to expert opinion — without considering how those opinions were arrived at — is not only an inadequate truth-seeking strategy, but a potentially harmful one."
