Adding A Privacy Notice To Your Websites, Email etc.

[ASmith]

Recently long time lawmaker, US Congressman Ron Paul crafted a very complete Privacy Notice to protect his Facebook Account from undue cyber-invasions based on his insights during his long tenure as a US Congressman fighting against the US Government and various cyber organisations invading his and his staff's digital rights and privacy's.

Congressman Ron Paul was kind enough to offer his team's crafted Privacy Notice for Webmasters and Individual users (email's and other applications).

**PRIVACY NOTICE: Warning: Any person and/or institution and/or Agent and/or Agency of any governmental structure including but not limited to the United States Federal Government also using or monitoring/using this website or any of its associated websites, you do NOT have my permission to utilize any of my profile information nor any of the content contained herein including, but not limited to...... my photos, and/ or the comments made about my photo's or any other "picture" art posted on my profile. You are hereby notified that you are strictly prohibited from disclosing, copying, distributing, disseminating, or taking any other action against me with regard to this profile and the contents herein. The foregoing prohibitions also apply to your employee(s), agent(s), student(s) or any personnel under your direction or control. The contents of this profile are private and legally privileged and confidential information, and the violation of my personal privacy is punishable by law.

UCC 1-103 1-308 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED WITHOUT PREJUDICE

It is recommended that other members post a similar notice to this or you may copy and paste this one. Thank you. This is now a publicly traded site, Protect Yourself [1]

The readers glancing thru this Congressman's team effort in crafting this privacy notice will notice the rather expanded focus to include not only cyber-organisations, employers but also including students which a Middle East Apartheid State employs and pays to sift thru social media websites looking for anything they can use.

As a follow-up, a series of similar email privacy notices such as those used by banking and legal organisations are shown below to include to the footer in their emails banning and forbidding all parties not specifically addressed in that email to obtain, read, copy and/or distribute that email under penalty's of law.

This privacy notice was not 'crafted' by Ron Paul, his team, or legal counsel. The link provided in the original post does not lead to an official Ron Paul page but rather a 'fan page' created by private users not associated with Ron Paul. A similar notice cannot be found on any official Ron Paul websites or Facebook pages. The premise of such a disclaimer is not founded in reality, and it serves absolutely no purpose nor does it provide any legal protection whatsoever regarding the use of the contents of a facebook page. When one signs up for facebook they agree to their privacy policy and terms of service. They can't make amendments to those policies by simply pasting some demands into a facebook post. Believing otherwise demonstrates a great deal of legal ignorance and a naivety that is not representative of Ron Paul or his team. Snopes has covered this disclaimer on their myth and urban legend website (although they didn't cover this new and bizarre twist of it being attributed to Ron Paul.) http://www.snopes.com/computer/facebook/privacy.asp

**PRIVACY NOTICE**

Warning–any person and/or institution and/or Agent and/or Agency of any governmental structure including but not limited to the USA/Canadian Federal Government also using or monitoring/using this website or any of its associated websites, you do NOT have my permission to utilize any of my profile information nor any of the content contained herein including, but not limited to my photos, and/ or the comments made about my photo’s or any other “picture” art posted on my profile. You are hereby notified that you are strictly prohibited from disclosing, copying, distributing, disseminating, or taking any other action against me with regard to this profile and the contents herein. The foregoing prohibitions also apply to your employee(s), agent(s), student(s) or any personnel under your direction or control. Any infringements on this website’s privacy is punishable by law.[3]

Many libertarians, Ron Paul supporters and fans appear to include on their websites the above Privacy Notice aforementioned in the original post in this posted thread likely because a Ron Paul staffer appeared to have posted the link to it in one of the Ron Paul tweets to Ron Paul followers on Twitter.

A noted Ron Paul hater reports in Paulians and their perspicacious privacy warnings [4]

Look, I don’t mean to be a dick (except to you Paulians, Oathkeepers and assorted other cranial rectal inversion enthusiasts) but the above stated disclaimer (privacy notice), (hereinafter “horses__t”) has as much legal bearing as reading the peanut and corn splatters in a port-a-john like a Rorschach test.[4]

Any court regardless if it is located in USA or another nation would certainly pay attention to the privacy notice if a individual, agent or student hired by a nefarious agency stole, hacked, or illegally shared privileged information on that website or email. IF that same court would rule for or against the webmaster or email host is up to the jury and judges of that court, not to someone of questionable motives telling readers a privacy notice is meaningless.

A Privacy Notice is similar in a fashion to a No Trespassing sign vs the lack of a no trespassing sign. One is directly punishable if ignored the other entirely missing is ignored often without punishment.

Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to us and we provide this notice to explain our online policies and the manner in which your information is collected, used, communicated and disclosed.

Our website, as commonly practised amongst most websites, does collect and use log files containing certain information about the visits to our website such as the number and frequency of visitors to individual pages. These statistics are used internally by our staff to improve upon and track the progress of the website.

The information we collect is NOT linked to any personally identifiable information such as your name, email address, physical address, telephone number, social security numbers, bank account numbers or credit card numbers.

This is generally used for geotargeting purposes or showing certain ads based on specific sites visited.[2]

Banks and Financial agents not only have teams of attorney's advising them to include privacy notices on their websites AND in the footer of their emails, they fully appear to legally back those also should they be violated before a court of law.

[Not_Ron_Paul]

Of course Ron Paul and almost every other entity in the universe have a 'privacy policy' stated on their website. That is completely unrelated to the "privacy notice" for Facebook pasted into the OP and wrongly attributed to Ron Paul. The text in the OP is a complete hoax - it does nothing to protect one's privacy on Facebook which is obviously the intention of people who paste it into their Facebook posts and the OP's intention in posting it here. It is unenforceable and irrelevant. As already noted, when one signs up for Facebook they agree to Facebook's terms of use of their personal data. Facebook needs to have a 'privacy policy', individual Facebook users do not. You can't amend your agreement with Facebook by posting your own rules on their site. None of the privacy policies linked use anything like the text of the bogus Facebook privacy notice that was incorrectly attributed to Ron Paul. And the UCC deals with commercial law having nothing to do with privacy, individual liberty, or any of the other misinformed reasons so many 'truther' and 'birther' type people get behind this type of thing. It is as stupid as the people who think they have a found a loophole that prevents them from being liable for taxes by simply declaring it so and offering some flawed legal argument that is totally irrelevant to tax code. Here is another piece explaining why the text in the OP is nothing more than a hoax. http://facecrooks.com/Scam-Watch/privac ... ution.html

To summarize, despite your insistence to the contrary, NO court, regardless of it's location in the USA or otherwise, would "pay attention" to an individuals 'privacy notice' on Facebook. It is laughable that anyone puts it into their profile and it is not based in reality or privacy law. I have no dog in this fight and you may feel free to believe anything you like, just don't attribute your false beliefs to a famous public figure if you don't expect to be called out for it.

Websites have previously claimed all kinds of illegal rights in regards to end user agreement and later found in court that entire paragraphs were unenforceable. Any breech of a end user agreement, privacy notice or confidentiality agreements would be a matter to be settled in the court system. It is wholesale manure to spew they are not considered nor regarded by courts. What is historically evident is when no privacy notice nor end user agreement is in existence then abuses which occur are more difficult to litigate against.

After listing a image of the List of words used by the US National (Cyber) Operations Center to monitor social media (taken from the DHS Analyst’s Desktop Binder) in this thread I certainly expected someone would surface to attack the thread and attempt to have it entirely removed. The anti-Ron Paul slant however is rather pathetic. Ron Paul staffers reportedly released the Privacy Notice link and suggested Ron Paul supporters use that in their Websites also. The aforementioned Privacy Notice is much more fleshed out than any private nor commercial Privacy Notice I have seen. Someone with a great deal of knowledge regarding the inner workings of the current USA Police State actions crafted that Privacy Notice to not only include and mention USA and Nations Agents but also employee(s), agent(s), student(s) or any personnel under your direction or control.

The hiring of student's by Israel, UK and USA by Intelligence Departments to run various Internet data collection and propaganda social media posting operations for cash is something which the Privacy Notice originally mentioned in this thread which was allegedly introduced by a Ron Paul staffer to Ron Paul supporters on Twitter specifically covers.

Common business's as well as individual webmasters would not in any fashion think of nor be aware of that taking place. USA Congressman Ron Paul and his Staffers WOULD know of that taking place and whoever added that to the Privacy Notice originally posted in this thread has a in-depth knowledge of the inner workings of intelligence gathering which is entirely in keeping for a libertarian Congressman and his staff.

This message is circulating Facebook as users are posting it to their status. The message provides various legal privacy statements and the paragraph at the end urges users to post the message. It also mentions that Facebook is a publically traded website.

It is unclear regarding the motivation for posting it. The message hints that because Facebook is now a publically traded website that Facebook users should be more careful with their personal accounts which can be achieved by posting the above message to their profiles.

This, however, is pointless for two reasons -

1. Just because Facebook is now a publically traded website this does not affect what Facebook can or cannot do with the information you share on Facebook. You, and Facebook, are still bound to the same terms and conditions, and Facebook have to notify you regarding any significant changes to those terms. The term "publically traded" does not refer at all to how your data is treated on Facebook - i.e. this does not mean your information on Facebook is publically traded. It still has the same privacy conditions as before when Facebook was a private company. The term "publically traded" means that the public can buy Facebook shares on the stock market.

2. Posting the above message makes NO difference to what Facebook - and others - can do with that data on your profile. When you sign up to Facebook you have to agree to their terms and conditions which includes Facebooks own privacy terms. The implication that Facebook users can make up their own privacy conditions merely by posting a message on their profile is ridiculous. You can read Facebooks data policy here.

The message quotes the Uniform Commerical Code with the code "UCC 1-103 1-308" attached to the end. The UCC deals with commerical law in the United States, and nothing to do with privacy or social networking, meaning even if Facebook did not have its own terms of service, or even if posting the above message did somehow supercede Facebooks terms of service, it would still be meaningless because it has nothing to do with online privacy.

Facebook users are advised to be aware that posting the above message to their Facebook account would be completely pointless and will have NO effect on how their data is used. Also worth remembering is that if you really want something to stay private make sure you have the correct privacy settings applied, or better yet, do not post it on Facebook, a site designed for sharing information.

This message is circulating Facebook as users are posting it to their status. The message provides various legal privacy statements and the paragraph at the end urges users to post the message. It also mentions that Facebook is a publicly traded website.

The Privacy Notice which as aforementioned contains "The foregoing prohibitions also apply to your employee(s), agent(s), student(s) or any personnel under your direction or control." Is now found in 52-92 MILLION Specific Website's whose Webmasters have copied that Privacy Notice Specific Wording to use. Again, in regards to legality's such is determined in a court of law.

No one that I know of has ever been charged with Running a Stop Sign where no Stop Sign existed. Webmasters are copying and using the SAME Privacy Notice not only on Ron Paul campaign support websites, Libertarian websites and various blogs but 50+ MILLION other Websites as well. Courts have ruled against police and government agents attempting warrent-less invasions and wiretaps especially where notices are digitally listed or recorded and played back as a message. If you hear 'This Message may be monitored in order to help you' that is forwarded as your consent in a court of law. IF instead you heard a message which stated it was illegal to tape or record that conversation, attorneys would move against a individual or governmental agency which disregarded that spoken demand forcing them to prove legality to do so.

The purpose of this entire thread is for Webmasters to add such updated Privacy Notices to their own Websites as well as confidential notices in email footer. 52-90 MILLION Have added the specific Privacy Notice which indicates a great many Webmasters are now very aware of the need to update their standard Privacy Notices as well as include confidential footers in their emails.

New Defense Bill Removes Restrictions On Using Propaganda and PsyOPs on U.S. Citizens [2]

Who precisely wouldn't want American and Western citizens to have expansive Privacy Notices in their websites and email footers? Very likely the same ones that are hampered and hamstrung by expansive Privacy Notices being posted in their attempts to dig up any dirt they can find on behalf of a police state agency.

Global news reports yesterday contained Israeli goose stepping transportation agency inspectors FORCING minority passenger jet travellers to login to their Gmail,Yahoo and/or Hotmail accounts so the inspectors could dig thru their emails looking for anything to disqualify them! [6]

What I found very troubling was the disqualifying of a airline traveler who told the Israeli inspectors she didn't have a Gmail account for those goons to log into so that traveler was physically prevented from traveling to their destination. I and many others would tell such police state inspectors to go and get a prostate exam rather than be forced into logging into any Gmail,Yahoo or Hotmail accounts I may or do not have just so some jackwaggon can try to find anything to threaten, extort or disqualify me with. [6]

And this brings the readers back to the issue of having Privacy and Confidentiality Notices to curb such extremist police state action while others plainly do not want people to have privacy notices posted nor confidentiality notices in their email footers.

What I also find particularly distasteful is very large amounts of USA Taxpayer funds (Billions) are allegedly now being used to conduct Propaganda and PsyOP Operations directly targeting the USA Citizens across America. [3]

New Bill Would Make It Legal To Target Propaganda And "Psychological Operations" Directly At U.S. Citizens [3]

Should it be legal for the U.S. government to spend billions of dollars on propaganda designed to change public opinion in the United States? Should it be legal for the U.S. government to use television, radio, newspapers, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, blogs and Internet forums to conduct "psychological operations" targeted at the American public? An amendment that has been added to a new defense bill in Congress would make it legal to target propaganda and "psychological operations" directly at U.S. citizens. The latest version of the National Defense Authorization Act would overturn the Smith-Mundt Act of 1948 and the Foreign Relations Authorization Act of 1987. [3]

And sadly President Obama, America's first black President signed the National Defense Authorization Act into law allegedly destroying the US Citizens Bill of Rights, The Right to arrest charges,a speedy trial and the right to be protected against being a target of US Gov. propaganda and PsyOPs.
