Surveillance Valley: The Secret Military History of the ãInternet | HardcoverããYasha LevineããPublicAffairs | PublicAffairs Political Science / Privacy &ãSurveillance (see also Social Science - Privacy & Surveillance)ã/ Security (National & International) / Computers / Internet -ãOnline Safety & PrivacyããPublished Feb 6, 2018ãã"The internet is the most effective weapon the government has ãever built.ãã"In this fascinating book, investigative reporter Yasha Levineãuncovers the secret origins of the internet, tracing it back toãa Pentagon counterinsurgency surveillance project.ãã"A visionary intelligence officer, William Godel, realized thatãthe key to winning the war in Vietnam was not outgunning theãenemy, but using new information technology to understand theirãmotives and anticipate their movements. This idea -- usingãcomputers to spy on people and groups perceived as a threat,ãboth at home and abroad -- drove ARPA to develop the internetãin the 1960s, and continues to be at the heart of the modernãinternet we all know and use today. As Levine shows,ãsurveillance wasn't something that suddenly appeared on theãinternet; it was woven into the fabric of the technology.ãã"But this isn't just a story about the NSA or other domesticãprograms run by the government. As t he book spins forward inãtime, Levine examines the private surveillance business thatãpowers tech-industry giants like Google, Facebook, and Amazon,ãrevealing how these companies spy on their users for profit,ãall while doing double duty as military and intelligenceãcontractors. Levine shows that the military and Silicon Valleyãare effectively inseparable: a military-digital complex thatãpermeates everything connected to the internet, even cooptingãand weaponizing the antigovernment privacy movement that sprangãup in the wake of Edward Snowden.ãã"With deep research, skilled storytelling, and provocativeãarguments, Surveillance Valley will change the way you thinkãabout the news -- and the device on which you read it.ããã--- OpenXP 5.0.57ã * Origin: Ogg's Dovenet Point (723:320/1.9)ã þ Synchronet þ CAPCITY2 * capcity2.synchro.net * Telnet/SSH:2022/Rlogin/HTTPã
