EOTO: Five Eyes Alliance

-

The Five Eyes Alliance arose goes back to WWII and the UKUSA Agreement. Which was officially enacted after the war in 1946. This was originally an intelligence-sharing agreement between the United States and the United Kingdom aimed at gathering and sharing intelligence. By the late 1950s, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand had also joined the Alliance. These five English-speaking countries make up the Five Eyes Alliance as we know it today. The intelligence-sharing agreement between these five countries has only strengthened over time, as it has extended to surveillance of online activity. For many years, this arrangement was a well-kept secret between the five nations. Its existence wasn’t discovered by the public until 2003. Things started to become clearer in 2013 after Edward Snowden exposed the surveillance activities of the US government and allies. These are “5 eyes” surveillance agencies working together to collect and record your activities and they are the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), and National Security Agency (NSA). The US government has been implementing Orwellian mass surveillance collection methods with the help of large telecoms and internet service providers. In March 2017, internet service providers were given legal authority to record user activity. Internet providers have been collecting data on their customers for many years, long before the law passed in 2017.

The National Security Agency (NSA) is a national-level intelligence agency of the United States Department of Defense. The NSA is responsible for global monitoring, collection, and processing of information and data for foreign and domestic intelligence and counterintelligence. We then have the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), the DIA is an intelligence agency of the United States Federal government, specializing in defense and military intelligence. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (BI) is the domestic intelligence and security service of the United States and its principal federal law enforcement agency. Operating under the jurisdiction of the United States Department of Justice. The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) known informally as "The Agency" and "The Company" is a civilian foreign intelligence service of the federal government of the United States, officially tasked with gathering, processing, and analyzing national security information from around the world.

In recent news, a research dossier compiled by the so-called "Five Eyes" intelligence alliance, reportedly concludes China intentionally hide or destroy evidence of the coronavirus pandemic, which is consistent with U.S findings of the origins of the outbreak so far. The dossier, which is likely to further increase pressure on the Chinese government to explain its action and early statement, points to the initial denial by the government that the virus could be transmitted between humans, silencing of doctors, destruction of evidence, and a refusal to provide samples to scientist working on a vaccine

What I learned: The First Text Message

 In 1992 Neil Papworth, a 22-year-old test engineer made texting history when he sent the world's first text to a cell phone. The recipient was Richard Jarvis, who was attending a Christmas party near Vodafone Headquarters in Newbury, England. The text message simply read "Merry Christmas". Later in 1993, Nokia became the first phone maker to support SMS (Short Message Services) messages. One of the first cell phones that could send text was the Nokia 2110.  In 1997 Nokia released the first cell phone featuring a QWERTY keyboard: the 9000i Communicator. In1999 another important milestone in the history of texting was the introduction of cross-network texts. SMS messaging found a new purpose when the TV show. American Idol pioneered "text to vote". Texting has changed the way we communicate. Our generation has adapted to life with iPhones, how readily easy we can get in contact with people and get to know people. Not only can we text via phone, but we can also te

My World of Technology: Social Media and More

My View on Technology Technology is our world, it's how we contact with people, or how we get the answer to questions no one seems to know. Technology can be very beneficial and it can be very dangerous, the internet is a place where people can create what they want people to see and think about them. Sometimes I love the internet, and sometimes I hate it. Is my relationship with technology healthy. I would say yes and no. I believe that once you get accustomed to being on social media everyday, it's hard to take a break or even taking a break from your phone. Some may call it FOMO, fear of missing out. It's like when I need a break from school or work, I tend to use my phone and social media to relax. There can be other means of relaxation, such as reading or taking a walk. I feel very attached to my phone, its my source of entertainment. I use my phone to contact and connect with friends and family. I used social media to also stay connected with friends and family that I

You should rethink your online privacy. Everything we think may be secure, but what about your privacy do you not know. These days corporations, websites, and social media have so much access to the things we consider PRIVATE. Juan Enriquez and Catherine Crump both discuss privacy in TED Talks. Juan expresses how privacy can be much like a permanent tattoo and Catherine's informative video exposes the dangerous details by which law enforcement by use to track you. What if all the social media you use, LinkedIn, Google, Twitter, Facebook, etc were all electronic tattoos. They provide information about you, just as a tattoo would. It's more than electronic tattoos, it is also in facial recognition.  You can track people with pictures, and find everything about them. Juan speaks about a company called Face.com they have about 18 billion faces online. They were sold to Facebook on June 18, 2012. Companies place cameras and they take pictures and tie them to social media. They use t
