Data: The New Commodity (Biometric Data Mining) - Do You Consent?

Ed.'s note: The best thing to do here is find out whether or not Michigan State Representative Bronna Kahle has any personal stake in seeing that those who volunteer to have themselves injected with a microchip has any personal financial gain involved. The first step in moving this technology into the public as voluntary and then it is ramped up until everyone wants a microchip because it's the best thing available to "protect privacy." At some point it will be presented that unless you have a microchip implant your health will be at risk. Again, using fear to to eventually have everyone gladly accept a microchip implant. What will you accept next? A microchip brain implant to connect you directly to the internet? Livestock are microchipped. Welcome to the barnyard. Do you consent?

Michigan Passes Controversial Bill To Microchip Humans Voluntarily To Protect Their Privacy

By GreatGameIndia | July 4, 2020

The Michigan House of Representatives has passed a controversial bill to microchip humans voluntarily in the state under the guise of protecting their privacy. The Microchip Protection Act would allow Michigan employers to use microchipping of their workers with their consent. However, research has shown that RFID transponders causes cancer.

Michigan Passes Controversial Bill To Microchip Humans Voluntarily To Protect Their Privacy

The plan to microchip humans is sponsored by Rep. Bronna Kahle under the guise of protecting the privacy of workers. The stated objective of the bill is that it will protect the privacy rights of Michigan workers and promote further growth for job providers as it relates to microchipping – a cutting-edge technology on the rise that increases workplace efficiency.

"With the way technology has increased over the years and as it continues to grow, it's important Michigan job providers balance the interests of the company with their employees' expectations of privacy."

"Microchipping has been brought up in many conversations as companies across the country are exploring cost-effective ways to increase workplace efficiency. While these miniature devices are on the rise, so are the calls of workers to have their privacy protected."

Rep. Bronna Kahle, the Republican who sponsored the bill, said in a press statement.

Radio-frequency identification tags, commonly referred to as microchips, are beginning to seep into the marketplace as new technological devices to help streamline everyday business practices. The chips, roughly the size of a grain of rice, are implanted into the hands of employees and act as a replacement for I.D. badges, timecards, usernames and passwords for security clearance, and even credit cards.

"Despite this type of technology not quite making its way into our state yet, I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes a standard business practice statewide within the next few years," Kahle said. “We should absolutely take every step possible to get ahead of these devices."

Under Kahle's plan, Michigan employers would be able utilize microchipping, but could not mandate employees to have such devices implanted. Kahle said the measure strikes a good balance between protecting workers’ rights and providing businesses with flexibility to increase efficiency and further grow.

However, research has shown that RFID transponders causes cancer. Research has suggested 90 percent of Americans are uncomfortable with microchipping mostly due to studies that suggested a link between RFID transponders and cancer in lab animals.

In May, the plan to chip humans globally through a digital ID was exposed in the Italian Parliament. Sara Cunial, the Member of Parliament for Rome denounced Bill Gates as a "vaccine criminal" and urged the Italian President to hand him over to the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity. She also exposed Bill Gates' agenda in India and Africa, along with the plans to chip the human race through the digital identification program ID2020.

GUEST POST: BIOMETRIC DATA MINING IN PUBLIC EDUCATION

July 3, 2020 By JOSEPH P. FARRELL

(Note: We rarely get guest posts, but in this case, a public school teacher sent me an email regarding the gathering of biometric data during standardized testing. I asked this individual, M.E., to write a guest post for the subject, and the individual gracefully consented.):

Biometric Data Mining in Public Education

In United States, a general education teacher or an intervention specialist is required to complete a requisite number of hours for "professional development" as per state mandated guidelines. This academic school year came to a precipitous end with the advent of the "COVID-19 Scamdemic" and so did any chance of "in house" in-service days. In-service days are when a district invites "specialists" from a myriad of fields ranging from psychology and technology to human services and non-profit organizations in order to, in this author's humble opinion "indoctrinate" teacher's with nonsensical, tangential and often superfluous "differentiated behavior strategies and techniques" or iniquitous "gender neutral" language programs in order to not marginalize "gender fluid” students. The amount of chicanery is often both mesmerizing and disconcerting however, with regards to "distance or virtual learning" we were asked to participate in a fifteen hour Google Inc. certification course that was proctored by a seemingly innocuous third party entity that calls itself ProctorU.

ProctorU is an online examination software that exults "ProctorU, established in 2008 in Hoover, Ala., was founded by Jarrod Morgan to proctor the online exams of Alabama-based Andrew Jackson University using basic webcams and screen-sharing technology. Andrew Jackson University, Troy University, California Southern University and Western Governors University were among the first institutions to employ the Hoover-based firm.". ¹ ProctorU is used primarily in the United States by public K-12 schools and universities in order to "proctor" exams with no one present. In February 2019, ProctorU announced Google Inc. as a client ² and in June of 2019 announced that they had partnered with Google Inc. ³ During this author’s paid examination, ProctorU required that I concede them access to: my screen, my internet browsing history, my location, my biometric facial data via webcam, my keyboard strokes, and allow them to install scripts on my hard drive, all in the guise of "academic integrity" and to thwart “academic impropriety". Furthermore, to corroborate what the artificial intelligence was observing through access to my web cam, it asks you to prove that you are "who the artificial intelligence is observing" by providing a state license or other government employee identification in order to corroborate accurate biometrical details. You cannot block access of your address, date of birth, license plate number or it will not validate that identification.

It must be your entire driver’s license front. You can find ProctorU's privacy policy for California and the "rest of the world" in the references section of this article. Needless to say, I as a "privacy advocate" and a person who does not participate in social media and use my "smart/slave phone" tepidly (and with a VPN) find this invasive, disconcerting, and unethical for a plethora of reasons, the primary being: NO government, employer or nebulous third party entity should have access to my biological features PERIOD. The fourth amendment of the United States Constitution (whether it has merit at present is questionable, but this author still believes in it's validity) states no improper illegal searches and seizures, and that would include the property that is your unique biological and physiological make up. Corporations understand this and the ONLY way they can retrieve that is through you agreeing to the "terms of services", translation - your CONSENT in return for using their services, coerced or for personal pleasure is immaterial, they must have your consent in order for them to retrieve your personal and private data as they would need a warrant to acquire it otherwise.

One thing to note is that the University of California Santa Barbara (UCSB), filed a complaint with their institutions administration that delineated use of ProctorU cease and as well as use of "any other private service that either sells or makes students' data available to third parties."⁴ ProctorU, countered this with hiring lawyers that sent university lawyer's a claimed was "an erratic letter invoking a litany of legal theories: defamation, copyright, trademark, and a hodgepodge of other claims that make appearances. The letter goes on to accuse the faculty association of undermining "emergency efforts to mitigate civil disruption" caused by the coronavirus pandemic." ⁵ Further privacy breaches have been lobbied against ProctorU that should make a discerning person contemplate whether the Google Inc. partnership with the fledgling service is influencing academic institutions to use ProctorU or other similar artificial proctoring services like Pearson's VUE. To note there are a plethora of other services students, parents, teachers and professors should be privy to (*Note: those companies can be found below in the "for further inquiry" section) and be ever vigilant and mindful that this IS where education is going and this convenient "scamdemic" is ushering in this new digital education era with efficacious expediency.
