Rampant​​ ​​Abuse​​ ​​in​​ ​​the​​ ​​Technical​​ ​​Fields​​ ​​Involving​​ ​​the​​ ​​Web​​ ​​& Computers​​ ​​​(fast​ ​and​ ​easy​ ​too)



Rampant​​ ​​Abuse​​ ​​in​​ ​​the​​ ​​Technical​​ ​​Fields​​ ​​Involving​​ ​​the​​ ​​Web​​ ​​& Computers​​ ​​​(fast​ ​and​ ​easy​ ​too)




1. Bound by Highest Privacy Protection

    
     Although​ ​substantially​ ​retired​ ​and​ ​inactive ​as​ ​a​ ​licensed​ ​attorney (including inactive CPA status),​ ​I​ ​am​ ​bound​ ​by legal​ ​and​ ​ethical​ ​rules​ ​requiring​ ​the​ highest​ ​level​ ​of​ ​privacy protection.​ ​I​ must and will legally​ ​enjoin​ ​any​ ​computer​ ​“games”​ ​to​ ​the​ ​contrary.​ ​These​ ​matters​ ​will​ ​not​ ​be​ ​left​ ​open to​ ​dispute,​ ​including​ unchecked​ ​joker-genius​ ​encroachment.​ ​A​ ​protector​ ​of​ ​my security​ ​interests​ ​cannot​ ​cast​ ​any​ ​doubt​ of trust​ ​in ​their​ ​role. However,​ ​my​ ​concerns​ ​have been​ ​proper,​ ​because​ ​outrageous​ ​events​ ​have​ ​occurred​​ ​in​​ ​​a​​ ​​part​​ ​​of​​ ​​my​​ ​​life.
  ​ ​


2. Realistic Shareholder Loss; Possible Action

     Invasive Internet​​ ​​advertising​​ ​​and​​ ​​marketing tactics​ ​are​​ ​​troubling​ ​to​ ​the​ ​public but can become so internally ​by​ ​very​ ​large, well-known​ ​companies​ ​guilty​ ​of​ ​tactics​ ​lacking​ ​tactics. Being too​ ​consistently​ ​obvious​ ​in their​ ​invasive​ ​motives may be worth a shareholders' meeting (largely dependent upon the state of incorporation or organizational documents).​

     Realistically, it​​ ​​results​​ ​​in​​ ​​a​​ ​​major​​ ​​loss​​ ​​to shareholders by​​ ​​diminishing​​ ​​the company's​ ​goodwill,​ ​often one of​ ​​its largest assets and by far the most valued by shareholder investors. Despite​ ​not being​ ​recorded​ ​on​ ​financial​ ​statements, this is an economic fact Wall Street knows well. It becomes​ ​an​ ​insult​ ​to​ ​our​ ​intellectual​ ​capacity, adding​ ​insult​ ​to injury. Other shareholder action may be available, especially with a somewhat easy ability to show a claim of merit with standing interest.



3. Denial of Basic Privacy; A Rampant Overlook of Serious Protective Law; Pervasive Disregard and Acceptance of Moral and Spiritual Concern

     Do​ ​not​ ​allow​ ​this​ ​mentality​ ​to​ ​maneuver​ ​you around​ ​(or​ ​at​​ ​​least​​ ​​do​​ ​​not​​ ​​continue),​ ​or fall​ ​for​ their​ ​part​ ​truth​ ​​statements​ ​of​ ​ads​ ​by​ ​financial​​ ​​necessity​​ ​​or​​ ​​slanted​​ ​​numbers​ ​on their​ ​desirability.​ ​​I​ ​have​ ​a protective​ ​concern​ ​for​ ​those not​ ​already​​ ​​aware​​ ​​of their ​clever​ ​promotion​ ​of​​ ​​a sense​​ ​​of​​ ​​sharing,​ ​openness,​ ​transparency,​​ and​​ ​​the​​ ​​spirit​​ ​​of​ community​ ​disclosure.​​​ ​​​Prevailing​​ ​goodness​​ ​​does​​ ​​transpire,​​ ​​and​​ ​​so​​ ​​can​​ ​​one's​​ ​​damage when​ ​there​ ​are indications​ ​of,​ ​and​ ​cooperation​ ​with​ ​disclosure​​ ​​as​ ​a​ ​matter​ ​of​ ​default​​ ​(if not​ ​an​ ​actual​​ ​​setting​​ ​​and,​​ ​​somehow,​ ​reset​​ ​​to​​ ​​their​​ ​​benefit​​ ​​over​​ ​​and​​ ​​over​​ ​​again​​ ​​for​​ ​​you). Likely,​ ​there​ ​is​ ​some​ price​ ​to​ ​pay​ ​by​ ​​continuing​ ​with​ awareness,​ ​but​ ​more​ ​cautiously. However,​ ​too​ ​often,​ ​the​​ ​​same​​ ​​manipulators​​ ​​open​​ ​​some​​ ​​dear​​ ​​matters,​ ​e.g.,​​ ​​contacts​​ ​​or​ notes,​ ​dear​ ​to​ ​all,​ ​but​ ​very​ ​serious​ ​for​​ ​​me.​

     By​ ​second-highest​​ ​​court​​ ​​in​​ ​​the​​ ​​nation​ ​directive,​​ ​​in​​ ​​some​​ ​​cases, competent​​ ​​judicial​ ​deference​​ ​​making​​ ​​it rare, an​​ ​​attorney​​ ​​is to VIOLATE A COURT ORDER​​ ​​voiding​​ ​​disclosure, yes, > Go >> To >>> JAIL,​​ ​​then​​ ​​be​​ ​​released​ ​pending​​​ ​​​their​​ ​​review.​​​ ​​​


     Let me assure you, there is a rampant major problem with Web/computer companies proudly admitting they comply with court orders for disclosures with no sign of awareness or acknowledgment of the law governing principal-agent, generally requiring notice first before disclosures (allowing legal challenges to the orders before all is lost once “the cat's out of the bag”). With the massive number of attorneys using various devices, including phones, and Android too, Hopefully, This Will Be Taken Seriously And Reviewed.


     Incidentally, it is imprudent to rely upon common contract law provisions, especially when dealing with attorneys and involving this matter. ᶠⁿ¹


ᶠⁿ¹ Attorneys do not disclose matters to their spouses but get real, more discretion is needed with other attorneys at lunch (no phony excuses now!).


     However, their​​​ ​​​tactics​​ ​​are​​ ​​outrageous​​​ ​​​for​​​ ​​​all,​​ denying​​​ ​​​basic​​​ ​​​online​​​ ​​​individual​ ​dignity​​ ​​in​​ ​​privacy,​​ ​​and​​ ​​they​​ ​​must​​ ​​understand​​ ​​this.​ ​A​​ ​​billionth​​ ​​of​​ ​​a​​ ​​penny​​ ​​profit​​ ​​per​ ​strike,​​ ​​sure​​ ​​troubling​​ ​​massive​​ invasion​​ ​​by​​ ​greed​​ ​​to​​ ​​so​​ ​​many, should​​ ​​lead​ ​to​​ ​​an​​ ​​awakened conscience.​​ ​​It​​ ​​is​​ ​​​​beyond​ ​me ​​so,​​ ​​I​​ ​​pray at least ​​some​​​ ​​​will​​ acknowledge​​ ​​the​​​ ​​​truth, accepting a radical reorientation of life and actions accordingly.


          (a) Realistically, Morally Based, Web “Change in the Time's” Mindset Pervasively Disregards Morals and Spirituality, Virtually All Underestimate 

“basically, lying in wait”


     This relatively new technological phenomenon, the age of the “great” Web/computer, cannot uproot what has been set from the beginning, and forever, moral principles within spiritual foundations.


               (i) Benefiting With Inherent Disregard for Others

     I mentioned above praying for those of concern, addressing them here to consider what they already perceive to no less than some minimal extent. Not believing in God does not rule out having morals. Using your heart, at least see moral validity, whether the details are correct:

     Gaining information, all too often highly personal information, at least to the person it involves, other than reasonably and realistically with their actual awareness and well-informed consent (despite pervasive fast and easy contract law reliance nonsense), then benefiting from it, carries an inherent disregard for others. This forms a part of one's entire lifestyle. Virtually all have subtle awareness that some are being wronged. I refer to it as “change in the time's blindness”, flawed business/work ethics for many.

     It defies the foundation upon which at least all of Christian Sacred Scripture is based, all-important love, love for God and neighbor, as clarified, even including enemies. Do not rule out what may be a safe truth perhaps, a lifestyle with a sense of stealing. This seemingly benign, subtle near-blindness as it is, should have a sense of at least some consequence by God.

     Only some actions, tactics, and resources, have been outrageous privacy exploitation, much of it significantly hidden, basically, lying in wait, and contract law abuse, supported by, or besides seizing business, economic and technological leverage or advantage (on the public, even some on others in the field).

     Virtually everyone, the public included, has been clouded by this change in the times and flawed business/work ethics excuses falling short. What has this world come to, with the public substantially in a docile submission yet?!



4. Contract Law Abuse is Most Rampant; Count Again
  
​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​The wrongful​ ​motive​ ​of​ ​retained​ ​security dependency​ ​has​ ​been​ ​obvious​ ​in​ ​the​ ​past​ ​by the​ ​programming​ ​practice​ ​of​ ​my​ ​PC​ software​ ​company.​ ​However,​ ​the programming even​ ​went​ ​so​ ​far​ ​as​ ​to​ ​make​ ​matters​ ​worse​ ​the​ ​longer​ ​I​ ​did​ ​not​ ​comply​ with​​ ​​its​​ ​​false​ ​warnings or​​ ​​warnings​​ ​​that​​ ​​could​​ ​​not​​ ​​be​​ ​​followed​​ ​​due​​ ​​to​​ ​​impossibility.​​ ​​Unbelievably,​​ ​​I was​ ​eventually​ ​stripped​ ​of​ ​administrator​ ​status without​ ​the ability​ ​to​ ​even​ ​set​ ​up​ ​a​ ​new Internet​ ​connection​ ​on​ ​a​ ​computer​ ​that​ ​I​ ​rightfully​ ​owned. ​You​ ​can​ ​believe,​ ​as​ ​they​ ​do, that​ and​ ​all​ ​other​ ​types​ ​of​ ​damage​ ​and​ ​wrong​ ​on​ ​their​ ​part​ are covered​ ​in​ ​their contract.​ ​Clear​ ​contract​ ​law​ ​abuse​ ​is​ ​rampant​ ​in​ ​the​ ​technical​ ​fields​ ​involving the Web and computers,​ ​including​ ​fast​ ​and​ ​easy​ ​too.​ ​So​ ​expect​ ​some​ ​mention​ ​on​ ​it​ ​to​ ​follow​ ​this,​ ​with a warning​ ​for​ ​the​ ​comfort​ ​zone​ ​some​ ​believe​ ​they​ can​​ ​​continue enjoying​​ ​​with​ ​their​​ ​​army​​ ​​of​​ ​​attorneys​​ ​​(and​​ ​​best​​ ​​count​​ ​​again,​​ ​​they​​ ​​may​​ ​​amount​​ ​​to​​ ​​less​​ ​than​​ ​​one).



5. A True Profession; Lacking Broad Governmental Ethical​ ​Regulation

     Aspirationally, there should be federal governmental​ ​professional​ ​ethical​ ​regulation, but at least broad state governmental​ ​professional​ ​ethical​ ​regulation should be in place, which is not the case. How long are such highly skilled individuals in Computer Science, Software Engineering, and related fields going to be allowed to cast technical explanations disguising self-serving motives near-impossible for others to detect, yet legally challenge?

     Protection of the public requires their concern over ethical enforcement powers of a competent investigating and decision-making body of similar experts. More general federal congressional laws in ​the​ field will not​ ​achieve much because they are not imposing that required concern. Consider the members of regulated true professions that carry this necessary burden of concern. Their​ ​members​ ​can​ ​be​ ​ordered,​ ​but​ ​in​ ​effect​ ​told​ they are​ ​out​ ​of​ ​“business”,​​ ​​so​​ ​​to​​ ​​speak,​​ ​​permanently​​ ​​or​​ ​​temporarily​​ ​​here​​ ​​and​​ ​​now. ​​It​​ ​​is​​ ​​a deep concern always in the back of their minds, ever-present daily, and ​considered with every ​word and with every action, seriously. Their regulation would make a world of difference.

     Considering intellectual challenge, ​it is​ ​a​ true ​profession​ (and​ ​some), regardless of any criteria​ ​defining​ ​a​ ​profession, with covered technical levels even broadly defined. These “hacker” geniuses need a new perspective, anyway. They may even aspire to a different vocabulary!



6. We the people of the United States....; Although Major Correction Await, Some Action is Beginning

     Web/computer company prosperity has been extreme, resulting in gigantic entities. I​ ​will never​ ​get​ ​over​ a sense​ ​of near-immunity​ ​from wrong in reaching their size and flabbergasted how they pulled this off, pockets still full as contract law and other abusive tactics to the public continue to this day. Nationally, it erodes the spirit and sense of democracy, but it is outright patent, lackadaisical and demeaning in this field. Without permission, some even change contract law/privacy set options on their own initiative to their self-serving benefit, patently yet. Business or not, correction is gradually expected to an erosion in the spirit and sense of democracy, but outrageous tactics perhaps even wrong in China or Russia upon our citizens, not corrected by now seems ironic, to say the least.

     Many of “the people of the United States”, common citizens, would agree that abuse is significant. Those reaping benefit the most have been offending the public the most (perhaps even national prosperity in business competition others in the field have experienced).

     In the United States, where prompt corrective action within this profession should be taken, it is usually expected by government regulators and, to some degree, the civil process of the courts. As a relatively new technology over the past few decades, naturally, government regulators and others have been behind. Major correction to the state of affairs is inevitable.

     Although adequate regulation will take some time, at least some heads are rolling. The pressure is on with recent requests for Federal Trade Commission (FTC) help by most state attorney generals across the nation, about 80%, because of its broader overall capacity, including federal jurisdiction. This highlights state submission to, and dependence upon federal regulation, likely expanding federal oversight and caseload capacity, including the FTC. As more experienced attorneys gradually become part of the whippersnapper genius group, so to speak, with less uncertainty drafting court documents and more confidence in technological evidence, expect more regulation through individual actions, government regulators too. There is reason to foresee the possibility of a new department of the federal government in the distant future devoted to Web/computer profession regulation.


          (a) Big Brother and the California Consumer Privacy Act

     Thanks to some of our big brothers, a fine example, proudly, our mighty brother the State of California, they are currently providing the federal government with a base to prompt them up into action, hopefully only, sometime soon. It is the California Consumer Privacy Act that became effective on January 1, 2020. See links to it, including other helpful information with it, below, at “8. Helpful Information and Links for Some Matters”. The Fed will have to significantly enhance it, especially joining within it adequate resolutions for our current major privacy-policy-disclosure, etc., contract law abuse problemsThis necessarily includes straightforward pathways, overriding any claimed contract law-based defense or otherwise, allowing an individual legal and equitable cause of actions for consumers (class actions too), and for them only, if they prevail, an award of their reasonable actual attorney fees, with a set minimum. To be realistic, there should be other consumer remedies or relief, regardless of forum, if any, even sanction and penalty forms of relief and whether special damages in nature, perhaps even treble damages in nature too (jail?). All of this, realizing it is a lot, until their true professional recognition and federal licensure arrive, without the ability to “clean their clocks”, we will Never clean this up once and for all.



7. Facing Law​ ​or Equity; The True Recount

     Numbers​ ​do​ ​not​ ​count​ ​as much​ ​with​ ​law. Law​ ​or equity​ ​provides for​ ​their​ ​needs​ ​with​ ​one​ ​competent​ ​attorney's​ ​ability​ ​to​ ​take​ ​down a​ ​giant, and​ an ​army​ ​of​ ​attorneys, truly. I realize many readers cannot understand this. Also, state​ ​and​ ​federal​ ​government ​attorneys are actively​ ​assigned​ ​to​ ​this​ ​area. Fast​ ​and​ ​easy,​ ​no,​ ​generally,​ ​subject​ ​to​ ​many​ ​variables, you​ ​cannot rely​ ​on contract​ ​law​ ​to​ ​protect​ ​those​ ​mentalities​ ​and​ ​their​ ​entity​ ​behind​ ​its false,​ ​fraudulent,​ ​misleading,​ ​or​ ​deceptive​ ​practices.​ At​ ​times, ​they​ all​​ ​​join​​ in​​ ​​Consumer​​ ​​Protection​​ ​​or​​ ​​Deceptive Trade​​ ​​Practices​​ ​​actions, even cooperation/enforcement in Computer​​ ​​Fraud​​ ​​and​​ ​​Abuse criminal actions/ensuing private right of actions.

_______________________________________________

NOTE any of the following when relevant:

 

1) State deceptive trade practices laws and state consumer protection laws often override contract laws. See their state chart link below.

 

2) With the advice of an attorney, consider a reasonable request for equitable relief in your complaint, possibly providing other benefits, merely one example, injunctive relief elevating jurisdiction to circuit court from a district court in some states.

 

3) With the advice of an attorney, give at least some brief consideration to any reasonable basis for federal court jurisdiction and litigation.
