something I notice about youtube and google news
I have notice something strange about youtube and google news.
Youtube
On your PC, when you go to the youtube website, the IP address of your PC and some of your PC's data is saved into the youtube server. I believe the youtube people can see all your youtube search history. the youtube people can see all its saved data about your pc. the youtube engineer can also selectively choose what youtube videos to publish to you when you next go to the youtube website. I am certain of this. I believe in certain countries, the goverment have control of this. In certain countries, the goverment of that country can choose what youtube videos to publish to the people of that country to sway the people to a particular thinking.
They can target even individuals PCs with tailor made youtube videos.
Do you know that hackers often inbed virus into youtube videos. When you view these youtube videos, the virus will infect your pc and the hackers have full control of your pcs. I read that youtube is aware of this but there is nothing much youtube is doing about it.
Google news.
this is the same for google news. when you go to the google news website, your ip address and pc data is saved onto the google servers. the google people can then view datas about your pcs. the google people can also selective choose tailor made news to publish to your particular pc the next time you open your google news website.
The goverment of certain countries will choose to publish certain type of news to its people to sway the thinking of its people.
The goverment can target a particular pc / person with tailor made news articles if required.
also a lot of the well known news website are installed with malwares. the idea is that when you go to read news every day from these news websites, the malware will be installed onto your pc.
One of the malware used in websites is found in the flash application. There is a company that specialises in this flash malware. I read that their client often are goverments agencies.
Certain countries/goverment would employ this flash malware in the countries's popular website to eves drop on the network activity of the people.
If you go to a website and your web browzer automatically wants to install the flash application, I would be alarmed.
just some of my observations.
are there any internet security experts here who can comment on these observations?
up for discussion.
