Another important piece of research and reporting that we need to teach in schools. Thank you Ronan Farrow . I’m always mindful about what this man could have chosen to do with his life and time given his family history, wealth and frankly fantastic looks. It’s a truly great example for young people. His Mother should be extremely proud.
This is another example of why we need to fix Congress. America is so behind on addressing issues such as technology and privacy. Mitch McConnell has weakened this country. Thank Ronan for your outstanding work.💜🇺🇸🦄
This technology is a valued law enforcement tool. Interested in someone for a serious crime, you can pull their phone calls and texts prior to and after the crime. Sadly, it’s not going away.
You, we, need to fix technology, not Congress. You can have whatever meaningful legislation you could come up with and still have spying and "law" agencies violating the law for years and years in the name of "protecting us from terror and instability". Remember the following quote? "I was the CIA director. We lied, we cheated, we stole. We had entire training courses. It reminds you of the glory of the American experiment." They spy on every word you ever publish online, on every search word, on every webpage you load, on every action, including here, and put you on watch lists based on your views. They care nothing about the law, you usually can never prove they did anything wrong, and if you can, the judicial system in the US is designed to do nothing about it (look up "sovereign immunity in the US"). Once we fix technology: the wave of freedom will force a tsunami of bottom-up radical change in the political system.
Ronan is indeed super-brilliant, articulate, courageous,and politically astute. And what is so rare is that he has integrity. Plus he is an excellent writer. I wish he had bodyguards b/c he is so good at what he does he is surely pissing off some powerful, vengeful men. Thank you, Ronan , for your very important work.
I never understood why internet companies were allowed to Spy on private user's data. If a shopping mall employee got a woman's purse to steal her data, he would be imprisoned on the spot. Why is Google, Facebook, and others allowed to do it?
because the people writing laws do not understand how powerful technology is, or even really have the basic ideas of how it works. The average person doesnt realize how many times a day they potentially expose themselves to data miners and people who are spying on you for the purposes of aggreggating your data and selling it as a profile to market to. Politicians heavily rely on these data profiles to use to trick their voters
@@agny369 Indeed, these companies also threaten to leave the country entirely if they don't get everything they want. All countries should expell them if they don't stop spying on the population, then they wouldn't have anywhere else to go.
@@riccardo9383 We have a serious problem, because all the people who have the most intelligence and foresight , know better than to get into politics, both for personal mental health , safety, and financial reasons, not to mention the extremely toxic dark cloud thats constantly over the capitol building. So you have these uninformed, egomaniacs, who rarely are running to make a difference, theyve just realized that this is now the easiest way in America to become famous, who don't listen to experts, and just make shit up about things they know nothing about. Legislators should be required to employ non partisan experts as staff on any industry specific legislation, we can figure out the definition of expert when the time comes. I'm graduating with a Bachelors in Computer Prog. and Information Systems in a month (at 37 years old), and even I , as a practically straight A student in the field, know how complicated the internet is and how vulnerable we all are to being spied on, stolen from, having our infrastructure shut down remotely from a hostile foreign power, and also the disinformation campaigns that are run by now domestic enemies as well. I had to take a speech class along the way , during the 2020 election season , related to my major, and I picked social media disinformation as my topic. That was between the election and the insurrection, and I still have the powerpoint. It was discussed in plain view on far right websites very violently and publically, and its hard to imagine these group of morons in congress taking any action to solve this problem of flooding the zone with bullshit so that the ignorant just assume that whoever they trust is right and they are true believers. I believe people will be held to account eventually, mainly because I have to, but with the amount of surveillance that tech companies have the abiliy to do and are deputized by the Federal government to handle, I'm surprised that no one has pieced together a complete and total timeline of every single conspirator involved in that plot. Im not a braggard and I wish I was wrong sometimes, but it's almost as if I turned into a psychic the moment I started digging into the political mud in 2020, out of concern for the truth.

I told my mother about George Walkers' Kompromat Rumor. All four of my tires were stabbed within two hours of the email. This happened again, when I replaced the tires, and emailed mom AND dad, this time. Spoiler Alert: George swallowed many Coronas or whatever beers there were. Now, everybody knows. He wanted it ...that way.
@@BALD_PAB Yes. I worked for a lab in Sorrento Valley here by La Jolla. My boss there had partied with W in the summer of '72, and discussed what happened. He drank a lot. I had a vintage '55 two door hard top with wide whitewall tires. I had to put modern radials on it, which were also stabbed. Obama was saying my email was safe at that point in time. No. My Tri-Five American Classic said otherwise. It is in the film, A Beautiful Mind, in the front porch scene, across the street, and on the right side of the screen. White top, black body. The front left tire shows, and was already a radial then, when filmed. Film mistake. Radials did not exist yet. It went unnoticed. The other three were older bias ply wide white tires of the day. It is listed on International Movie Car Data Base, IMCDB. The stabbings were later in 2008 and 2009. A classic American Buick Super power, and film prop, and they were attacking it. I have family in the Capital Building, Library of Congress, and the Whitehouse, Secret Service for decades too. My guess is it made things worse when I forwarded the email to the Library of Congress, ISBN department, to a parental sibling that decides what is legally fiction and nonfiction in America. As a person threatened on January 6, you can guess what that family member thinks about George Walkers' truth. His Bone in Skull Club Minions are stabby drunks.
@@steppenwolf3252 Some time ago, I read an illustrated article about RF and there is a photo of him in adolescence, and the resemblance to his mother was extraordinary.
I have had two phones ruined by this because I put pro Palestinian comments and share Israeli crimes. It is about time it was recognised that this is against human rights and free speech. I never use hate speech. My posts are highlighting what is happening with brutal child arrests etc, things that Israel doesn't want the world to see as it spoils its own narrative.
I am sure they sold it to Russia as well. They have become great pals as of late! And China definitely has had it for a while now. The citizens claim that their every move and social media post is watched. We have known for a while about them being able to spy on us thru our phones, Alexa, the new televisions, etc. There is no privacy any more.
Hmmm selective reading of you think the Palestinians have done far worse!! They lived peacefully in their country until they were forced out. This selective understanding is why America doesnt get the truth of what's happening. Unlike some people I don't actually want to erase Israel, and actually my Palestinian friends tell me they don't either. But that doesn't fit the racist rhetoric does it? Trolls who follow the Israeli State and US narrative can't abide the truth. Simply look at the laws imposed by Israel if you can stomach the truth. They are there, factual and objective of any emotion and they are clearly one nation and apartheid, they discriminate on the basis of nationality. But people are selective in what they want to believe sadly. No matter what truth I will write and with however much evidence, those who want to hide their hearts in the sand of racism and ignorance will do so with basic and childish responses. And the manpower is there in Israel as every single person must be in the army, 2 years for women and 3 years for men, and this includes It, so this country has forced conscription, but that is never mentioned either, and enough trolls to challenge every truth and damage every phone or equipment that doesn't follow their rhetoric.
I was dating a German au pair whose friend was the nanny for a doctor on the other side of town. We were at their house back in August, 1991 when his wife received the telephone call from a West Virginia state trooper informing them that her brother in law, Danny Casolaro, had been found dead in a hotel bathtub in West virginia, apparently after drinking a single beer (he had been sober for decades). He had slashed his own wrists so aggressively that there were razor marks deep into the bone. Turns out he was researching a software called Promis, which was created by a government contractor with ties to Israel, named Inislaw. The over-arching conspiracy he was writing a book about was called "the octopus" because its tentacles reached into every intelligence and law enforcement agency in the western world. Promis was ostensibly a "prosecution management information system" but the backdoors and ties to echelon made it a juicy playground for conspiracists.
My fiance and I were talking marriage.... next thing we had on each of our phones ads for rings and dresses. We hadnt done a search, it was obviously listening phones.
Wow… makes you wish you could go back to land lines. I’m not scared of what would be found, but more that it’s an invasion of privacy and puts your data in even more jeopardy.
Great reporting! I am sure my Android phone is hacked. For the past few months - since I moved to the DC area and got a 202 number - my phone just shuts off at random times, day or night. And when it comes on again - there's a Notification -VOICE RECORDER and the exact minute the phone went down. I'm elderly and retired and have no political involvement at all. Perhaps they're spying on my Cats?
Far more dangerous is the “anonymized” data that advertising companies and law enforcement buy. If you keep the parameters and locations small it has been shown these can relatively quickly be non-anonymized. You don’t need the illegal spyware when the legal stuff gives you almost as much information
Our smartphones have truly outsmarted us. If I have to spend most of my free time trying to protect my smartphone from being surveilled, maybe it's time to go back to just a simple flip phone with nothing on it. The whole world seems to be out of control anymore.

No. My Tri-Five American Classic said otherwise. It is in the film, A Beautiful Mind, in the front porch scene, across the street, and on the right side of the screen. White top, black body. The front left tire shows, and was already a radial then, when filmed. Film mistake. Radials did not exist yet. It went unnoticed. The other three were older bias ply wide white tires of the day. It is listed on International Movie Car Data Base, IMCDB. The stabbings were later in 2008 and 2009. A classic American Buick Super power, and film prop, and they were attacking it. I have family in the Capital Building, Library of Congress, and the Whitehouse, Secret Service for decades too. My guess is it made things worse when I forwarded the email to the Library of Congress, ISBN department, to a parental sibling that decides what is legally fiction and nonfiction in America. As a person threatened on January 6, you can guess what that family member thinks about George Walkers' truth. His Bone in Skull Club Minions are stabby drunks.
I’m going to have to watch this three times in order to allow myself to take it all in.
It’s so dark.
Thank you Ronan. This confirms alot of suspicion. Please be safe
Ronan, love you man but please,please be careful out there. Snowden had to leave the country for his divulgence and exposure to this very subject.
he's a brilliant journalist. totally irrelevant to his amazing ability, but damn, watching him, he looks a lot like Frank.
He looks and is nothing like Frank. He looks like Mia.
Frank had a vasectomy He looks like Mia.
@@steppenwolf3252 Some time ago, I read an illustrated article about RF and there is a photo of him in adolescence, and the resemblance to his mother was extraordinary.
Frank Farrow?
I have had two phones ruined by this because I put pro Palestinian comments and share Israeli crimes. It is about time it was recognised that this is against human rights and free speech. I never use hate speech. My posts are highlighting what is happening with brutal child arrests etc, things that Israel doesn't want the world to see as it spoils its own narrative.
I am sure they sold it to Russia as well. They have become great pals as of late! And China definitely has had it for a while now. The citizens claim that their every move and social media post is watched. We have known for a while about them being able to spy on us thru our phones, Alexa, the new televisions, etc. There is no privacy any more.
Palestinians have done far far worse!! Maybe tell the truth!!
Israel is a highly fascist country and this said my father even 50 years ago.
Hmmm selective reading of you think the Palestinians have done far worse!! They lived peacefully in their country until they were forced out. This selective understanding is why America doesnt get the truth of what's happening. Unlike some people I don't actually want to erase Israel, and actually my Palestinian friends tell me they don't either. But that doesn't fit the racist rhetoric does it? Trolls who follow the Israeli State and US narrative can't abide the truth. Simply look at the laws imposed by Israel if you can stomach the truth. They are there, factual and objective of any emotion and they are clearly one nation and apartheid, they discriminate on the basis of nationality. But people are selective in what they want to believe sadly. No matter what truth I will write and with however much evidence, those who want to hide their hearts in the sand of racism and ignorance will do so with basic and childish responses. And the manpower is there in Israel as every single person must be in the army, 2 years for women and 3 years for men, and this includes It, so this country has forced conscription, but that is never mentioned either, and enough trolls to challenge every truth and damage every phone or equipment that doesn't follow their rhetoric.
Jimmy Carter wrote a book about this.
Farrow is aces. I marvel at how he grew up in the milieu he did and turned out like he has.
Thank You Ronan Farrow! "Keep on keeping on " with your leadership in Journalism & your inspiration for those who also want to be journalists. 🇺🇸🦅🗽⌨🗒🖊
Anyone who sees what I'm up to by spying on me through my phone is going to die of boredom lol
They get what they deserve with me. Recipes and skin care , sewing and gardening, the ba&tards.
I was dating a German au pair whose friend was the nanny for a doctor on the other side of town. We were at their house back in August, 1991 when his wife received the telephone call from a West Virginia state trooper informing them that her brother in law, Danny Casolaro, had been found dead in a hotel bathtub in West virginia, apparently after drinking a single beer (he had been sober for decades). He had slashed his own wrists so aggressively that there were razor marks deep into the bone.
Turns out he was researching a software called Promis, which was created by a government contractor with ties to Israel, named Inislaw.
The over-arching conspiracy he was writing a book about was called "the octopus" because its tentacles reached into every intelligence and law enforcement agency in the western world. Promis was ostensibly a "prosecution management information system" but the backdoors and ties to echelon made it a juicy playground for conspiracists.
Omg 😲
God! He's beautiful! And obviously also a force for good, but... I kind of can't focus on words when his face is shown on the screen.
He looks like a god.
😂Good. It’s not just me.😂
Good job Ronan.
Ronan please use your expertise to save our democracy.
My fiance and I were talking marriage.... next thing we had on each of our phones ads for rings and dresses. We hadnt done a search, it was obviously listening phones.
Most diamonds sold actually come from Russia. Don’t feed the monster.
Really frightening. Frankly, not surprised at all.
I adore Ronan
Wow… makes you wish you could go back to land lines. I’m not scared of what would be found, but more that it’s an invasion of privacy and puts your data in even more jeopardy.
they record convo on landlines, too, but they are still safer. i asked an AT&T tech about getting a landline and he said it costs $85 a Month, now!!😳
Am hanging on to my landline.
good thing i kept my old nokia 3210 with 3 brand new batteries . i'll be ok with just sms frankly
Ronan’s back -
and what better story to break than this
Great reporting!
I am sure my Android phone is hacked. For the past few months - since I moved to the DC area and got a 202 number - my phone just shuts off at random times, day or night. And when it comes on again - there's a Notification -VOICE RECORDER and the exact minute the phone went down.
I'm elderly and retired and have no political involvement at all.
Perhaps they're spying on my Cats?
Far more dangerous is the “anonymized” data that advertising companies and law enforcement buy.
If you keep the parameters and locations small it has been shown these can relatively quickly be non-anonymized.
You don’t need the illegal spyware when the legal stuff gives you almost as much information
Everyone should have watched the Oliver segment.
This is a damn good piece of work.
Ronan rules.
Ronan is exactly like his beautiful mother 💕👏👍
The best thing today is to write hand written letters like 30 years ago with citrus ink between the lines. Greetings from Linz-Austria 🇦🇹😎👍👆😸🐺 Europe!
or everyone uses nokia 3310 with just sms .
Our smartphones have truly outsmarted us. If I have to spend most of my free time trying to protect my smartphone from being surveilled, maybe it's time to go back to just a simple flip phone with nothing on it. The whole world seems to be out of control anymore.
Jitter Bug
Flip phones are also interconnected now. Old ones no longer available
Very informative facts. Thank goodness for such a Brilliant mind of Ronan & for your tireless thorough reporting. Thank you!
Ronan Farrow is priceless.
Excellent reporting!
America needs more investigational journalists.
Ronan is fearless and have so much respect for them
the honesty inside makes him intoxicatingly attractive
Ronan is a genius, and also beautiful. I enjoy his investigations.
Ronan is also a great Writer... this man is relevant and forward looking.
We're fast approaching 1984.. if we aren't there already. So long privacy!
Brilliant and pretty like Elvis. I could watch him alllllll day. Lol
Seriously though…Great job Mr. Farrow.
God Bless Farrow!!!🙏🙏🙏
I respect Ronan Farrow's exceptional and brilliant journalism - all of his stories are so complex and fascinating but forgive me lord, I watch him and see Frank Sinatra's eyes. This man is just too beautiful to stay focused. I am trying.
I am soooo right there with you on that!
Totally agree! He is too pretty! Just staring his face without really hearing anything.
Very informative, and interesting. Thank You!
I was spied on by the FBI for not supporting the Iraq war.
Did they go into your house & car too? Vandalism?
@@childrenslivesmatter3073 - Just my home...
An exemplary journalist
Bravo Ronan and thank you - and as for Hari your 'naive' questions are laughables and for a journalist not to know about is quite 'strange' ... we do live in a strange world.
Ronin does it again, this guy is on point for so many major stories.
Kindred spirits with Galahad.
And what about speaker homes, smart TVs, EVs, smart refrigerators, smart thermostats and other smart devices?
Even modern keyboards with highlight keys seem so unsafe when it comes to privacy.
There are way too many gadgets connected to the Internet.
Ronan Farrow is a great journalist, and he's also a beautiful, beautiful man.
While we are still online, one message to everyone : keep cash!
Thank you Ronan for reporting on this.. This is a ruthless technology put out by Israel that can be used on anyone, as shown by the murder of khashoggi.
Not just Israel, also west and dictator groups.
aww cutie Ronan, brilliant in so many ways.
Thank you!
Thank you
aBSOLUTELY TRUE THESE SPY COMPANIES SHOULD BE REGULATED
Very interesting!
Ronan!! Gid Blessed 📚🙋🏽♀️💪🏼💪🏾💙🌏✌🏾✌🏻🦅
