Identities Are Being Revealed

[WordsintoHarmony]

A growing number of websites are trying everything from deploying moderators to forcing people to use their real names in order to shut down internet trolls.

NEW YORK — Mix blatant bigotry with poor spelling. Add a dash of ALL CAPS. Top it off with a violent threat. And there you have it: A recipe for the worst of online comments, scourge of the Internet.

Blame anonymity, blame politicians, blame human nature. But a growing number of websites are reining in the Wild West of online commentary. Companies including Google and the Huffington Post are trying everything from deploying moderators to forcing people to use their real names in order to restore civil discourse. Some sites, such as Popular Science, are banning comments altogether.


The efforts put sites in a delicate position. User comments add a lively, fresh feel to videos, stories and music. And, of course, the longer visitors stay to read the posts, and the more they come back, the more a site can charge for advertising.

What websites don't want is the kind of off-putting nastiness that spewed forth under a recent CNN.com article about the Affordable Care Act.

"If it were up to me, you progressive libs destroying this country would be hanging from the gallows for treason. People are awakening though. If I were you, I'd be very afraid," wrote someone using the name "JBlaze."

YouTube, which is owned by Google, has long been home to some of the Internet's most juvenile and grammatically incorrect comments. The site caused a stir last month when it began requiring people to log into Google Plus to write a comment. Besides herding users to Google's unified network, the company says the move is designed to raise the level of discourse in the conversations that play out under YouTube videos.

One such video, a Cheerios commercial featuring an interracial family, met with such a barrage of racist responses on YouTube in May that General Mills shut down comments on it altogether.

"Starting this week, when you're watching a video on YouTube, you'll see comments sorted by people you care about first," wrote YouTube product manager Nundu Janakiram and principal engineer Yonatan Zunger in a blog post announcing the changes. "If you post videos on your channel, you also have more tools to moderate welcome and unwelcome conversations. This way, YouTube comments will become conversations that matter to you."

Should people be required to use their real names to post online?

 

[Claudya]

Not happy with what google did to youtube. I don't want my name on the more juvenile comments I have made over the years. So I made a google+ account with my youtube name. I hope there is no way for outsiders to link my anonymous youtube name google account to my real name google account.

The realtive anonymity we have on the internet is one of its strengths. I'd rather ignore or deal with the occassional troll.

 

[jasoncran]

k, I have been stalked for using my name on fb. the man that did this could have me fired for what I have said about the sale of the electric grid. I want people to know what is being done and also to say what I think is a good idea. but not at the expense of my job.

 

[Knotical]

Here is a little something I wrote on the subject.

 

[AirDancer]

I liked your advice article, Knotical .

The advice I gave my growing offspring when the internet was developed & instant messaging & chat rooms were the latest & greatest: Write only what you wouldn't mind reading on the front page of local & national newspapers.

As for the use of 'real names' when posting online if that becomes mandatory, the law-abiders will do so ... those intent on causing trouble will not.

 

[jasoncran]

yes but the sad thing as It has happened to me and I do post under my real name on local paper. I don't talk about the sale at all now. too many will know. I have been told say anything about it and your toast. I just say what I see. the facts not to vote yay or nay

 

[AirDancer]

I can understand your position, jasoncran . Your job shouldn't be at risk if you speak out about some aspect of it. This is a perfect example of why there should be some form of anonymity is necessary.

Lest anyone is concerned about having to use your real name here at CFnet: No worries!

its due to the fact that the council knows that if we say the facts they wont be getting a pay back from the buyer. imho

 

[AirDancer]

'pay backs,' 'kick backs,' 'finders fee' .... all reasons why we have a tendency to hold a degree of skepticism about our elected officials. No wonder we give them nicknames at times!

lol. ie boss hog, we have former commissioner whom is called boss hogg.

 

[AirDancer]

That's a hoot, jasoncran ! Nothing like a Boss Hogg being in charge.

 

[WordsintoHarmony]

These are the words from Boss Hogg: " Hey 'ya CFnet posters. I ain't after your money. I ain't after your identity.
I'm just sending out my trusty Deputy Rosco P. Coltrane and his trusty hound Flash to catch those road blazers, The Dukes of Hazzard.

The narrator of the show "Look there goes the Dukes of Hazzard. There jumping over a cliff they are getting away. YeeHaw"

And how!!!!!!!!!!

Just wanted to say that.

Anyway...I don't really care for the new comment section. And I'm not sure I like the idea of being forced to use your real name...so THAT'S why they made it so you have to have a Google+ account to comment on videos?
But heck yeah, it's about time they got some moderators and some means to moderate video comments.

Since 1997 I often think a lot about “Futurism” Bible prophecy End times. How is the Future going to take shape to bring in the coming Antichrist? People did not realize God spoke of a generation who would have great technology. For example when Jesus told His disciples about wars, famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places to a simple living class of people still often reading from scrolls. I mean how would they be able to chart all this information of wars, pestilences, famines, quakes and so on in various places? Jesus was asking them to watch what most people were not able to do back then. Besides even the shape of the Earth was even into question.

But now in the 21st century all these scriptures make perfect sense how we in this generation are to keep watch. There is also a Bible verse saying their chariots will be as lightning.

Nahum 2:4
New Century Version (NCV)

4 The chariots race through the streets
and rush back and forth through the city squares.
They look like torches;
they run like lightning.



I believe the Bible was telling us about about Modern Day Automobiles. Chariots of lightning is a car with today’s horse power of which resembles a modern day chariot. The rider being taken by force at a fast rate which a car would be lightning speed compared to a standard chariot.

We're also told in Daniel 12:4 for they will be increased in knowledge going to and fro.

Daniel 12:4
New King James Version (NKJV)

4 “But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”

Why are we increased in knowledge? Because of today's computers instant access of knowledge. Why increased? We have this info now at our finger tips. Why to and fro? Because the devil has no home of rest. In Job chapter 1:7 God asked the Devil where he's from. Satan answered I go to and fro on the Earth. The Devil has no safety in God which has no foundation. Thus Daniel 12:4 the knowledge of today's technology is far and wide in information is like several thousands teachings and point of views. Who is their to believe? But this generation by majority would not seek to know the truth but rather as the Devil going to and fro resisting the truth of God.

Where does this leave technology as in the antichrist? in the Future. ‘Your Identity’? The antichrist will be empowered partly by world watch technologies implementations. The mark may just be a small chip with information on it such as name, age, Hospital, location transfer of money etc. which equals ‘your true identity.

Currently schools in America are increasing in numbers to use RFID cards. This card has a chip which can locate your exact location within the radars frequency to detect you whereabouts. In this case on the school campus.

Imagine a mark of the beast that also uses RFID where you are at every moment Big Brother GPS. Where a person is located on the map. Simply what I am saying is the mandate to want to know your true identity will push us closer to a future antichrist world rule to be over every tribe, tongue, and nation.

A system where computer, TV sets, and phones will all be as one unitary with real user identification identifying yourself. So while it may seem dangerous for the Government or some hacker to get your name there is greater fear of the coming future of personal identities and the mark of the beast. The Devil not only wants to own people but even not to let these people have an excuse to run and hide. That chip will say it all.

It's possible Face book will also help the Antichrist authorities to zoom in Face book user names. Real identity read off your page and your current where about living location because Satan wants us all to be as prisoners of his Babylon take you over approach. To sum it up the antichrist won't want anyone to have a place to run or hide with true identity technology. It will be more possible to to capture those seen by security cameras wanting to make life impossible especially to those who will reject the mark. All phones, computers, and TV sets all taken away. Because only with real identity technologies you will be allowed to us these sources and without your identity we won't be able to use these things in Satan’s end time rule on Earth. This is called Futurism cause all the fulfillment have not all happened.

During the few short years our Lord Jesus walked this earth, it was during the time of the Roman Empire. Rome controlled so much of the Mediterranean areas, Europe, even what is now England. Communication was sped quickly (relative term) to Rome; the length of time between sending a communique and the recipient receiving it could be a week or less....or a week and more. Not too bad when one considers that a letter mailed (snail-mail) today in California will arrive on the East Coast anywhere from 5 - 8 days later.

Anyway, civilizations before, during and after our Lord Jesus was here on earth learned fairly quickly, with amazing detail, when there were famines, pestilences occurring. Earthquakes in known areas of the world, along with volcanic eruptions, were communicated to the proper governing departments in the Roman Empire. It's entirely possible that the everyday Joe and Jane heard of these events as well. The market places were sources of information.

That's the trivia for the day.

 

[WordsintoHarmony]

Ok Air Dancer I didn't know much about the Roman Empire about how the word of news can get along.
Yet still today news can get to us in just a few minutes. What do you think about other parts in my post?
Do you agree in anyway or disagree?
I just see it often so much disagreement. I also want to know the things where posters and Christians can agree.

 

[AirDancer]

I'm more of a historian ... enjoy sharing trivia of the past :yes

Back in the early 60s, during the time of JFK's assassination/funeral, adults around me talked some of how television would be the means of instant information. As a little kid, I wondered why they thought television was any different from radio. As an adult now, computers allow us instant access to world-wide info, just as television and radio are able to do, but without censorship at the moment.

Even if our computers, radios, phones, etc., were taken away, there are still hundreds of thousands (millions) of Ham radio operators keeping active. While not every non-Ham'mer would receive current news, so many people would have access and would share the news with those they trust. And the Word would still be shared amongst the people.

So, other than trying to make certain that I am ready each day, in case it is my last on this earth, and for continuing His work, I am not all that concerned about some of the other issues. (Besides, the networks have been established; resources have been and continue to be put aside; and preparations have been seen to, just in case...)

Our Lord will provide.

 

[jasoncran]

the idea of the mark of the beasnt isn't tech but a state of mind in sin and the hand acting upon that sin.

 

[WordsintoHarmony]

Thanks Air Dancer for your historical observations. If I should have any hostory issues I will ask you for help.
Because I am probably better at the future then the past.
Well I'm ok in history when it comes tomy past but not in history itself.
I'm ok or averge just not great in history.

Jason please do not say that the mark of the beast is symbolic. I will warn you that symbolic teaching of the mark
leads a person to the teaching of preterism. Preterism is a teaching which the entire Bible including the Book of Revelation was all fulfilled by 70A.D. Since preterists believe this and the antichrist and the mark of the beast are both to be taken symbolically.
Preterism therefore teaches there are no more future events only the return of Jesus Christ.

But majority concensus at posting forums are pre trib rapture and post trib rapture who believe that the Book of Revelation is the future.
I am post trib and believe the mark is literal in Rev 13:18 to buy sell and trade.
The military is already right now testing a chip that can be placed on a human being to use to buy sell and trade.
No we don't see the Revelation 13 number yet but that will be proposed who will be called the second beast who
is given power by the dragon of which the dragon is Satan.
For thus he is standing in the Holy Temple will blasphemy all that is called God and he shall call his name God.
He shall reign in the last 31/2 years. But Jesus shall appear in those days with the brightness of his appearance and smite them with his sword.

It is important to know the Book of Daniel, Matthew 24, 1 and 2 Thessaolonians and Revelation.
To know these are future events for all the world to see.
