TOS Violations

TOS violations describe contract breaches by a single party. For many, the internet is an easy place to get information and take advantage of certain conveniences in the form of online banking and shopping. Shopping websites allow us to find goods to buy and most banks have online banking systems that allow customers to keep track of their money. Other websites focus on social affairs in the form of Twitter and Facebook. Many people go to Youtube to search for various entertaining and informative videos to watch.

Other websites allow the selling of music via iTunes or MP3 storage. Online services have been around since the early days of the Internet and searching online has become a part of everyday life for many people. With that, you may have a feeling that you’re not doing something right when going online. Nearly all websites have a terms of service agreement, or TOS. The terms vary by website, but it comprises an agreement between the website and user regarding how users can take advantage of the website. It also establishes rules and boundaries that users must adhere to when using the website.

When visiting a website, you usually agree to the TOS by default when clicking the agree button. It also conveys certain rights that users have when accessing the site and how they can contact the property administrator in case something goes wrong.

In addition, it contains warranty protections and disclaimers, including vendor liability pertaining to damages or infringements when using a service. The primary aim is to safeguard vendors, and a TOS is a legally-binding contract that can be enforced in a court of law. It is only a legal contract if it abides by local and federal laws, and TOS authors have some leeway in drafting the contract. For instance, they are free to change the service terms at any point, but they must notify users within a reasonable time of the changes.

  • Note: Websites only giving information or selling a product may not have a TOS.

ISPs and TOS

With that, internet service providers (ISPs) and all sites storing personal data are usually involved in social media, financial transactions, or online auctions. Court cases involving TOS violations are more common than you think. You should know your rights and obligations before using a website, and though reading the TOS may seem like a tedious process, the terms are easier to read than you think, and it generally does not take long to comprehend.

TOS Drawbacks

A TOS is designed to foster transparency and rules for a website, but major problems can arise. For instance, TwitPic’s controversy surrounding its TOS, which caused the company to walk back from an aggressive TOS that stopped users from reselling pictures they uploaded to the platform, is an example of how you must read the TOS before uploading or using a website. The fact is that you have little recourse in court if you agree to the terms of service. This also happens when users fail to understand the TOS or never read and simply clicked the agree button.

  • Note: Hitting the agree button comprises an official signature on your end, and you are bound to the terms of the agreement.

TOS Commonalities

The following are essential traits that you’ll find in almost all TOS agreements:

  • Legally Binding: In all TOS agreements, your agreement is an official acknowledgment of the TOS, and electronic signing makes your adherence to the TOS much more official. For instance, clicking the agree box comprises an official signature. In court, you must prove that the TOS contained unreasonable terms, or the agreement is not valid in some way.
  • TOS and Copyright Law: When creating images, works or properties of any kind, you are the copyright owner.

To learn more about TOS violations, you can post your job on UpCounsel’s website. UpCounsel’s lawyers will provide more information if a user violates your terms and must seek legal recourse in court. In addition, they will assist users if they were taken advantage of by service providers.

Criminalizing ToS Violations

Many of us question whether sneakwrap agreements like the Terms of Service (ToS) of most websites should be considered a binding contractual agreement. But several stories in the news have shown a disturbing trend that goes even further — treating a ToS violation not just as a breach of contract, but as a criminal act.Certainly the story getting the most attention right now is the tragic cyberbullyi

Many of us question whether sneakwrap agreements like the Terms of Service (ToS) of most websites should be considered a binding contractual agreement. But several stories in the news have shown a disturbing trend that goes even further — treating a ToS violation not just as a breach of contract, but as a criminal act.

Certainly the story getting the most attention right now is the tragic cyberbullying case in which a 49-year-old woman is alleged to have harassed a teenage girl into suicide using a phony MySpace account. Lacking appropriate laws covering cyberbullying, federal prosecutors have brought charges against the woman — in Los Angeles, MySpace’s headquarters, rather than Missouri, where the woman and the teenager resided — for violating MySpace ToS provisions. As many observers have noted, it’s a real stretch to use the federal anti-hacking statutes in this way, and a very slippery slope.

Earlier this month, World of Warcraft (WoW) publisher Blizzard sued MDY, Inc., maker of a program called Glider that automates WoW play. Using a program like Glider undeniably violates the WoW EULA and terms of use, but Blizzard is also suing the company for copyright infringement, arguing that the copy of WoW loaded into RAM when using Glider is illegal, just because it violates the EULA. In other words, they’re saying that using a product you’ve paid for can still be a copyright violation if you don’t follow their fine-print rules.

And since copyright infringement can carry criminal as well as civil penalties, another piece of news that might be relevant is the “Copyright Czar” bill that the House of Representatives recently passed. With thousands of ordinary Americans falling victim to identity theft, phishing scams, etc., Congress wants to create a cabinet-level position to fund and marshal federal law enforcement resources to protect … not us, but the motion picture and music industries. Terrific.

So what does all this mean? Well, think of some of the many overreaching and even unconscionable provisions we’ve seen in some of the ToS documents we’ve examined recently. If you read Dilbert.com and you’re not precisely 13 years of age, are you guilty of illegally accessing a protected computer under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act? What about when the Comcast use policy or the Verizon ToS requires you to check back frequently and re-read all their legalese to see if there’s been any changes — will White House staffers be sending the FBI to knock on your door if you forget to do so? And consider all those people who’ve been reporting that Windows XP SP3 causes endless reboots of their system — aren’t they guilty of criminal copyright infringement for not getting Microsoft’s written permission to publish such performance benchmarks, as various Microsoft EULAs demand?

Virtually every ToS has a mix of terms, some of which might be considered reasonable in the context of that business and others so stupid or outrageous that no court would enforce them even under contract law. So for law enforcement officials to accuse someone of a crime because they breached a ToS term is more than problematic. And to equate ToS violation with copyright infringement is to render the Copyright Act useless except as a tool of large corporations.

FILTERING ALLOWS NSA EXASCALE SUPERCOMPUTERS TO CONTROL ALL DISTRIBUTION & VISIBILITY OF CONTENT
October 12th, 2021.
This video has been CENSORED.  However, the person who posted it included text content that is well worth the read.  

They don’t care about social media posts like YouTube, Facebook, etc., because Shadow Government Supercomputers, sitting on top of every Tier One Server in the world, control all DISTRIBUTION & VISIBILITY OF CONTENT.

It is done to prevent credible information developing from credible online sources and reaching legitimate victims or the public at large.  It is called ‘FILTERING’!

Only if the general public do a direct search for the data or information posted by the activist, whistle blower, etc., even be seen, nor can the data or information posted by the whistle blower or activist even be seen by the general public, because they can’t search for you if they don’t know you exist.

Even if these directed energy attacks really happened, these media news casts are just another example of ‘INDIRECTION’.

Do you think that the Shadow Government (U.S. DoD & Intelligence Agencies) would ever allow such evidence of their atrocities to be broadcast over live so-called main stream media for the world to see?

Such news casts of these directed energy attacks are a form of disinformation (lies) and misinformation (half-truths) called ‘INDIRECTION’ which is essentially pointing the finger of blame at others but using third persons or parties to do it instead of pointing the finger yourself, to divert attention or blame from yourself.  Here the Shadow Government is using INDIRECTION to diver attention and blame away from CIA DIA Contractors who are responsible for these human rights atrocities on American citizens, to the Russians and Chinese.  Directed energy attacks and no touch torture is used for various reasons including training research and development in artificial super intelligence technologies.

It is Nonsense.  Just More Cyber theater, nothing more.

CIA Trauma Based Mind Control involves the use of constant disruptions of the victims communications, financial transactions, etc., at regular intervals to solicit emotional responses from the Mind Control victim which can be remotely measured and integrated back into RNM data while simultaneously portraying the victim as delusional, crazy, etc., to discredit the victim. This is called the HYPER GAME THEORY.

It is based on the mathematical model known as the Hyper Game Theory. The process is endless and can be activated at will by the supercomputer which has remotely hijacked all mt computers, tablets, smartphones, etc

Hyper Game Theory basically is a mathematical model applying Game Theory to Decision Tree Modeling proving, mathematically, that by perpetually and constantly altering any value in the model one can perpetually and constantly alter that models expected outcome. In CIA DIA Trauma Based Mind Control the model is the Mind Control victim.

Trauma Based Mind Control involves the use of constant disruptions of the victims communications, financial transactions, etc., vandalism and theft of property, etc., even directed energy torture, etc., all at regular intervals to solicit emotional physical and psychological responses from the Mind Control victim which can be remotely measured and integrated back into RNM data while simultaneously portraying the victim as delusional, crazy, etc., to discredit the victim. This is called the HYPER GAME THEORY

Hyper Game Theory is achieved by PERPETUALLY basing ones next move off the opponents last move, meaning the game never ends because there is always a next move to be made. Always a higher optimum to choose from

The idea is to force victim into a never ending series of responses (electromagnetic emission patterns of the brain) which can be remotely measured and integrated back into RNM data

They have a whole bag of tricks to kill, menticize and/or set up and frame the victim and have him thrown into a mental institution

It’s all a deadly game of deception and manipulation nothing more. Do not accept anything they say as truth and do not accept anything the RNM system interrogates you about as truth. The system is designed to remotely capture random bits of your senses and then to fabricate stories based on whatever it captures injected back into the subconscious of the trauma based mind control victim at speed of light to interrogate and harass the victim with no other intention than to distract and torture the victim into submission to the systems influence

‘FILTERING’ A PROCESS WHICH ALLOWS SUPERCOMPUTER TO CONTROL ALL DISTRIBUTION & VISIBILITY OF CONTENT
July 19th, 2021.
This video has been CENSORED.  However, the person who posted it included text content that is well worth the read.  

Hyper Game Theory is a deadly game of ‘Eugenics’ based on the mathematical model known as the NON-COOPERATIVE GAMING THEOREM using two things:. DECEPTION & MANIPULATION.  ‘Hyper Game Theory’ is just a moniker to describe that model

By ‘deadly’ I mean they need to walk you to your death: physical death, social death, emotional death and psychological death.

There are only two ways to defeat the Hyper Game Theory: 1.  Refuse to play the game to begin with (Ignore Them). 2.  Place the opposing party in a position where they can no longer better their own position against you (Nash Equilibrium)

Since you are dealing with a Conscious Supercomputer programmed with Hyper Game Theory algorithms and because the CIA/DIA teams have far more resources (time, money, manpower, etc.) than you do their is really no possiblity to use the NASH EQUILIBRIUM, meaning you cannot – for the most part – place the government in a position where it can no longer better it’s position against you

So the only way for Targeted Individuals to defeat the Hyper Game Theory tactics they use against you daily is to refuse to play the game to begin with (IGNORE THEM)

In order for Trauma Based Mind Control to work they must force you to continually respond to their Street Theater (Situational Scenarios & Conversational Scenarios), meaning they must constantly employ specific tailored script sets against you, such as a group of people taking pictures of each other, arguing with each other, etc

These abnormal and aberrational scenarios are crucial to force you into a set of responses to determine coherent patterns of thought. Do not try and constantly adjust and counter the chaos they engineer.  Just ignore them.  Get up from your desk and walk away from the computer, office etc., and come back later – much later, AFTER the conversation or situation (chaos, trauma, etc.)  they just used against you has been pushed out of your short term active memory.  Do and think something else, immediately, to push the Chaos and Trauma from your Active Memory and Thought Process

The Hyper Game Theory model of Deception and Manipulation employed against Mind Control victims is endless because there is always a HIGHER OPTIMUM to choose from

So, because there is always a higher optimum to choose from there is always a NEXT MOVE to be made by the CIA DIA Hive Mind Teams, Surveillance Teams, Organized Stalkers, etc., and, specifically, the Conscious RNM [Supercomputer] System of Remote Neural Networks that is basing directed energy torture on that model (start torture…stop torture…start…stop…start..stop…etc.).  The process is endless

Hence, the game never ends because the system must constantly provoke you into sensory and neural responses to engineer patterns of multiple synaptic responses

One response is not enough.  They need multiple responses of the same behavior, etc., to determine coherent patterns of thought (VERIFICATION).  Only then can those synaptic responses be integrated back into RNM data as the Conscious Supercomputer continues to build a cognitive model of your WILL, INTELLECT & EMOTION for training research and development

So the Hyper Game process is endless and can be triggered at will by the attackers and many times you will only notice the remote neural attacks are happening if you learn to read Active Memory

In order for the Hyper Game Theory to work, meaning for the  CIA DIA Hive Mind Teams to make a next move, they must force the mind control victim to move or respond first.  The objective being to force the victim into an endless series of synaptic responses each day meaning to place the victim INTO and keep the victim INSIDE a PSYCHOTRONIC CONCENTRATION CAMP which is sort of a combination of the two movies ‘The Exorcist’ & ‘The Truman Show’

This is why the victim is surrounded and boxed in constantly, for as soon as the victim is chosen for this technology, all available apartments, homes, hotel rooms, etc., next to and around the victim are sublet and the CIA/DIA Trauma Based Mind Control Hive Mind Teams, Surveillance Teams, Organized Stalkers, etc., move in and training research and development begins, culminating in the cold blooded murder or incapacitation of the victim once training research and development ends

What I mean is they trigger or engineer chaos torture and trauma in the victims daily life and daily activities and then wait for the victim to respond to that fabricated torture trauma and chaos which the victim must do to function and survive, thereby forcing the victim into an endless series of counter moves throughout the day just trying to function and survive inside a Psychotronic Concentration Camp because of the physical and psychological trauma and torture

Each counter move is an evoked potential which can be remotely measured and integrated back into RNM data

Everything these people do involves censoring others and manipulating information to allow ONLY their agenda.

Flemmings is upset that she no longer has someone ‘to call up at Twiiter’ and immediately get to censor or control the flow of information SHE doesn’t like. These people are poison to free society, to truth, and to anyone’s freedom but their own. Its MORE than the ADL, and they have to go.

What she is in fact advocating and trying to do—suppress free speech wihich she calls ‘disinformation’, should be punished with severe prison sentences. NOT meeting with social media execs.

UN/WEF Globalist Melissa Flemings is furious Elon Musk has fired all the people they would to call to censor/suppress, and suspend accounts on Twitter…

He discusses exposing the ‘young leaders’ and influencers coming out of the World Economic Forum and is looking into how many jobs they’ve been given. He says that the United States and Western democracies are becoming client states of the WEF. “Transhumanism is the belief… it is the technology suite around the idea of mechanical and biological modification of humans,” says Malone.

The Trudeau Bill C-11 is an authoritarian law that will tell Canadians what they can watch on the Internet. It regulates user content and hides content it doesn’t like on YouTube, Rumble, and other platforms. It forces streaming services to serve up content the government likes and shadow-ban services it doesn’t like. Every service becomes the CBC. These rules will be applied to Facebook too.

The unelectable and unaccountable would have unprecedented power.
