- A PowerPoint file was censored on a o personal Google Drive... and Google's stated reasons were obviously false. Why did this happen?

Remember guys, the "cloud" is just someone else's computer.
Yes so a good reason to have a look into Portal (change the P for a Q) everything happens on your machine, and all data is chunked and encrypted when being sent across the network and IP address will be a thing of the past
This is proof that Google is violating wiretapping laws.
Google is efectively working for US gov
all they need to do is pull upper management with threats
they are vicious, the US gov is run by a mafia
take a mafia to its ultimate conclusion, that is the US GOV

They already have it 🤷🏻♂️ it has multiple levels or robots too, have to appeal upwards of 6-10 times and still not get a person to look at the evidence

I saw red flags in these services since day one. Even the paid ones I don't trust. I save my money, buy more local hard drives. If I want to share something, I'll send it directly to the person.
Ever since I have been criminally targeted by the government they have deleted text messages screenshots videos you name it
But I guess that comes with the territory when you have dirt on somebody to positions under the sheriff and a top secret federal government program
What are you using for sharing - all the messangers I have tried, have limits ?
You’re a visionary
I have had text messages deleted screenshots screen recordings audio cut mid recording
Where are you Louis Rossmann? 📣✊
not in NYC, that we know.
Probably won't cover it since this gets censored on UA-cam
He's saying that Cloud services is just storing your stuff in other people's computers for a loooooooooong time now. He's repeated this more times than one would be able to count probably. Normies need to understand this and hopefully this case throws it into more light.
Companies that offer Cloud services can do whatever they want with their customers' files because they own them the moment they're uploaded.
Google is getting evil.
He's too busy running interference for MSM and the Biden admin
They're not your files, and 'they' will do whatever they like with them. See certain out-of-favour ex-information gathering operative living in another country for more information. Comments on this have to be cryptic or they get removed.
Thankfully, I understand the technical logistics regarding who owns what (on paper).
Wow Bryan, you stepped on the yellow jacket nest with this one. Great job my friend.
It "harms" the political narrative and financial interests of certain people and groups profiting from this subject and others, and yes they absolutely do want to make it illegal to hold views and share information contrary to their own - and these are the kinds of people labelling others "fascists"....
Google's staff didn't need a request sending from Pfizer - They're on the same team, with shared interests, and they know to look after their own.
You are wise.
Sounds like it is time to move to another country 😅
@@Cheesecake99YearsAgo phizer is multi national sponsored. Unfortunately most of the 1st world nations are way too cozy with “big pharma” like phizer.
Pfizer as I understand it by AdVenture does supply a lot of revenue to Google for advertising. That's a good incentive as any to monitor what you are holding in your vaults.
"Advertising" is neat. Nearly impossible to measure, apparently without discernable impact, yet worth billions of dollars a year to the most powerful people in the Western world.
Exactly why I don't use cloud services. Keep it on a offline NAS and only share when needed.
Offline NAS 💯
@@technocody9296 a network doesn't need to be connected to the wider internet in order to be a network.
🎶 The more you know 🎶
Offline NAS LOL. if it’s network attached, it’s online to the right person with enough interest in what you are storing.
External SSD’s or HDD’s are the best. Unplug them when you’re done and use it as cold storage.
Whistleblowers are so technologically outmanned, outgunned, and out financed by large companies that it's not even funny
Just learn from Julian Assage 😅
Not really all they need to do is encrypt their file offline then sync it to cloud storage.
@@KD-_- oh really? check out the ebay stalking case. Those managers sent a whole team ( 5 or so went to jail, thank god) to stalk and harass that poor couple. Of course the CEO of ebay didn't go to jail, he just had to resign with his golden parachute. Encrypting a doc "offline" is fine and all, but all but with malware and a ton of money to hire your own offshore tech team to stalk the heck out of someone, then I guess the companies are going to win. But hey just believe that an "air gapped" computer is going to save the day...
It causes 'Harm' to pfizers revenue
Yes, and it is a law that publicly traded companies make money for their investors. This is the type of legalese they use to deny you your basic rights.
Ok, if someone wants to be a whistleblower but uses Google drive for private information, you really have to reconsider your whistleblowing career...
I've had files up loaded to Google Drive without me asking for it. I always disable G.D. on any new devices and regularly check it's still disabled.
“Unless you’re doing it on purpose?”
Not everyone is savvy in tech. Some people just go about their life and then stumble upon something they don't like and then they want to become whistleblowers.
Whistleblowing will end soon. Misinformation and disinformation is the enemy number one for WEF. The internet as we know it is almost dead. UA-cam filters comments before they are being posted. It's USSR at this point
i stopped using Gmail/google to store stuff when they started blocking my encrypted 7z files
They really do that? Since when? That's just ridiculous, why would anyone use that.
You can (or could) bypass it by changing the file extension but it's utterly Orwellian.
@@ts757arse that stopped working years ago, i know because that's when i stopped using it
@@ts757arse not sure why yt is deleting my comments
anyway, I replied hours ago commenting that indeed that stopped working years ago. It's what i used to do when they started blocking compressed encrypted files, but eventually they cut that avenue as well
This is why I don't store anything in the cloud.
Data brokers store the data for you.
It's not a bad idea to store things in the cloud. It makes them much easier to share with others and if you don't always work on the same computer it can be a good way to access important files. But the lesson here is still important - even if you store things on the cloud, make sure you have a local backup.
Or just store it in multiple places at once
Just wait for Microsoft to remotely steal your data, lock up your encrypted Windows 11 drives and turn you in to authorities.
Rubbish, cloud storage is an excellent off site backup method but store it encrypted, there are apps that do this for you to create true backups with version history.
Well, I needed a reason to dump google services and here we are.
I would suggest to store them encrypted to multiple cloud services. That way the automated scanning will not detect anything and even if Google or other provider deletes it you will have a backup somewhere else.
God I miss Boxcryptor.. Was such an easy and sweet solution... but they "got an offer they couldn't refuse." And unfortunately I find the other options wanting. Overdue time that there was as viable alternative tho.
They read her files and then censored them. That's fucking insane and needs to be outlawed immediately!
If your data isn't on hardware you own and control, _it isn't your data._
This is not the first time Google has done this.
Had a video with several clips of the first few weeks of COVID in China that disappeared from both my physical phone drive and FB messenger
From don't be evil, to babysteps into the Ace Combat 3 ish future where there are no nations, only megacorps, and they are totes not at war committing ugly deeds.
If you have to use a cloud…encryption is a must for any sensitive information.
Google drive blocks encrypted archives. Microsoft cracks the encryption (shown by a malware researcher who was sending samples in encrypted archives for safety; MS detected and deleted the malware a while after upload).
Of course, if you're like me and have a selection of long strings for encryption that you keep in your head, they crack one and they've got that forever. If you store the strings in another file, it doesn't matter as they can crack that file and then they have the strings.
The only way to protect against this is to not use their services for anything other than pictures of cats.
@@ts757arse At least until they censor cats. 😂😂😂
I hope Louis Rossman get a hold of this and spreads it to a larger audience.
Rossmann is a lying glowie. Can't trust a thing he says these days.
Well it clearly facilitated harm to the profits of one of Google's main advertisers.
Never use gdrive, microsoft drive, and aws to store your company's confidential data or your research data, etc. Never.
What, google, pushing a mega corp? Never!
Google should not be allowed to touch your files
I have my own storage at a fraction of expense and full security.
"Facilitates harm" are activist weasel words for "this information might at some point have results we don't like".
Voting doesn't change anything lobbying does
If you want to make a difference, understand why the second amendment exists.
Another reason why NAS is better than cloud
I think their silence gives you all the answer you need.
tell that to Assange
What happens when google protects illegal activity?
My concern is using cloud storage. You are storing your personal documents on someone else's computer... They have every "right" to know what is in those files because it's on their server. They could be held liable for the information stored on their servers... Don't store important documents on someone else's computer. js
Agree, and if you have the means to do so, look into hosting your own cloud (Nextcloud or similar).
If you do, encrypt everything before uploading.
The postal service isn't responsible even when they deliver death threats or bombs.
@@maxsievers8251 Google isn't a utility.
They could store it in a way that doesn't let them read the data. They don't and that's because they want to spy on you.
Boycott Google
It's the same as UA-cam censorship. If you question "the science," you are "harming" the public.
They would prefer horoscopes as science 😂
Swap "science" for "God", "scientist" for "priest," and "peer review" for "councils."
Literally a religious cult with blasphemy laws
It was dangerous. For their stock and future system implementations of Control.
There is no privacy with such companies, as personal information is available for sale to a third party, and all information is freely available upon request to intelligence agencies and the government.
I would have never put that file in Drive. I would have put it on a separate hard drive. I do not trust Google that much.
I don't trust Google at all.
I never keep any information on cloud drives. I have never trusted Google cloud, oneDrive, Dropbox, or any of the others. Now I feel vindicated.
Not your computer, not your files!
Why this means is google was already watching her at the request of Phizer.
Reminds you of the movie with Tom Cruise called “The Firm”.
Would that not be evidence tampering. That would be a serious crime
Google is above the law if you haven't noticed.
If you ask Gemini anything about the article, it replies "I'm not able to help with that, as I'm only a language model."
It was a mind blowing the freedom I felt moving to self-hosted. I stopped worrying about whether big brother was going to get mad at a file.
And WHO KNOW... Who know ALL THE REMAIN HIDDEN... ALL THE SHAME REMAIN HIDDEN FROM BIG TECH.
The file was harming Google's bottomline.
25 years ago I promoted google...25 years later I say learn to live without google.
😂
No, Google doesn't have to know about them, and it's indicator that they do, much less to take legal action against its own customers. The government is treating them as an arm of law enforcement and they're happily complying because they're getting paid. All non-entangled options are being strangled. And the people tapping the benefit are immune from the effects of their decisions.
I’m hoping she has a copy elsewhere
*One more reason to use non-US software and services*
The harm is the profit margins of either alphabet or businesses who support them
Not your cloud not your files.
Google employees have committed çrimes against humanity
There was a time when "never do evil' was part of Google's mission 😂
Be a real shame if somebody uploaded that file to paste bin 😂
It’s a PowerPoint slide show file…
USB and offline storage. That's going to be more important than ever now
What's wrong with paper? Oh I see, it's not good the environment as opposed to 'clean' servers fuelled by CO2 emitting electricity, built with toxic materials and cooled with valuable water. It all makes sense now.....
If its not stored on your device, you dont own it
You said a couple of things in the video that made me question if this was not more benign and stupid than it appears. Point one, if an algorithm scanned the contents and saw a bunch of emails and the fact it was a powerpoint it could have errantly flagged it as suspicious because it was assuming it was some sort of SPAM or screen grabs illegally obtained. Another thing, when you were reading their definition of dangerous, you glossed over the fact that it states, when they receive 'reports' and you also said this person shared the document with many people. It is possible that this document was manually flagged or reported by one of the people who read it or one of the people forwarded it to someone at Pfizer who flagged it. I am not excusing Google actions, just saying that I know they do stupid things for stupider reasons than the obvious ones a lot of times. I was working on a novel in Google Docs and one of my pages was flagged as 'violent content', no kidding, it was a horror story.
Whatever the situation, this event proves; Google at the very least keeps track of the names of your files, and can access them from their side, without your say so. (if the files were just a big blob file, that only opened from an encrypted key that was only available when you logged into the session - Also called - how it should be, then this could not have happened).
For future reference, when using google cloud, if the files are important, you should use a VEROCRYPT blob file that you can open from the cloud.
This does present the problem of your password, or the key being identified by the operating system or a sniffer installed by google.... this would be illegal, but I am not convinced, that what happened was not illegal action by Google anyway.
If you think Google is bad, wait till you see what Microsoft does in the same situation.
Although Veracrypt is a good solution, I am considering some kind of software that multiple people could use simultaneous, anonymously (plausibly deniable knowledge of content) share data between a group of friends/users...
Hmmm let me consider....
Cloud storage is a solution looking a problem....
OMG Brian Lunduke! You still alive!
AI figured out that the content of the emails will lead to hurting people in the real world. Just wrong person got targeted...
The leadership in many large companies is directly responsible for countless injuries to their employees due to mandated treatments. Let’s see how long this stays up..
Time to stop using Google drive, and make my own cloud at home.
She also shared the document.
Which comes into question, if anyone she shared with reported her
When storing on the cloud, you're storing your data in someone else's computer, keep that in mind. Don't trust them.
I don't care, it is not reasonable to trust a cloud provider, I do not use such services. I also believe access to any hardware in the net is possible for well equipped parties.
Why a whistleblower would put a sensitive piece of information in Google Drive?!
I believe that they share hashes with organizations, so they can flag when files are copied from the organization without consent.
If you don't own the computer, someone else is _owning_ it
Wow, this is insane!
I call shenanigans.
1000 points of light.
@BryanLunduke Maybe you could upload the video to your Rumble channel first (not currently there yet) rather than youtube (google). . . Hope you will see the irony of sharing such a video via youtube (google), and the possibility it being censored in the future.
Also, this video presented an opportunity to suggest alternative solutions to googledrive, gmail and other platforms owned by google.
What happened to "don't be evil"? /s
Word of advice from a cybersecurity guy: Never store your important files on someone elses server.
I don't think most people realize this or they just don't care until it affects them.
Big Brother Google
What are some cloud or server solutions that are more trustworthy for storage? i.e. Alternatives to googledrive?
Leaking sensitive material, is considered violence now. ...
Friendly reminder that "The Cloud" is just someone else's computer.
Easy. File an audit request for proof of exchange between the companies, and file a suit for violating her rights.
Be evil - Google
It's only "auto-censored" if they greatly over censor
I imagine that I pay for cloud storage but I put the money away, every few months I get a hard drive or a bunch of USBs, depending on what I need
smart
this sounds like obstruction of justice
That might matter if the courts weren't proving to be picking sides too...
Best to not use Google drive
Shocked 🙄
To believe that corporations don't have class consciousness and don't look out for each other is incredibly naive. Typical libertarian naivety.
The cloud is just someone else's computer
No one believed when I warned about this in 2014. What say ya now?!
Why indeed?
Whistle blowers should be using a new decentralised web infrastructure that begins with Q and end with l (*orta*)
Web 3.0 IPFS.
Was there not a time when whistleblowers used something like WikiLeaks?
I wonder what happened to that?... Oh! 😮
One of the journalists she shared it with most likely flagged it with Google and their AI bot then just agreed. There is no recourse because it is all just a black box.
This is why ya store stuff on external offline hard drives using the sticky notes app and screenshots.
I would like more information on this as well.
danke belgium for clientsidescanning
If the contents of the file happen to be in part very descriptive of illegal activities, it wouldn't surprise me if some algorithm didn't like it.
this is why i self host nextcloud
You should probably host it on Tor or I2P if you are dealing with a company as despicable as Pfizer. You have to consider your physical safety as well as the data. Just sayin'.
Google doesn't have time to personally scan files, and no one should know who files what on Google Drive. This is strictly an algorithm scanning for files which might be sensitive to companies who advertise with Google. Their public facing reasons are irrelevant. In the background, Google defends its large advertisers, via its algorithms. The moral of the story is: never store your files on any such service UNENCRYPTED.
This and Authenticator backup being unencrypted is pretty shite.
@@hrdcpynot using hardware keys is shite. Never trust any app with TOTP!
If it were merely an algorithmic error, they would have reviewed the decision on appeal, especially after word got out and requests for comment started to come in. They haven't restored the file, which means the problem is not merely algorithmic.
If you don't own the storage you use then it isn't a personal storage, especially when any company is involved. Cloud just isn't worth it for individuals, use any of the cheap forms of removeable storage instead.
