Private Data Leaks Occurring All Over The Internet According To A Recent University Study.

According to a May 12 article in Fortune, researchers from KU Leuven, Radboud University, and the University of Lausanne conducted a study and discovered that tens of thousands of websites captured—without permission—every word typed into an online form, even if users left the site without submitting their information.

“Given its scope, intrusiveness, and unexpected consequences,” the study’s authors said, “the privacy problem we analyze warrants additional attention from browser makers, privacy tool developers, and data protection organizations.”

While typing out their email address on a website, establishing an account, purchasing a ticket, or subscribing to a newsletter, many people were mistakenly made to believe that their personal data was safe.

According to Fortune, the combined university research looked at over 100,000 websites.

The study teams constructed fictitious software profiles that imitated a real user who visited hundreds of websites and then entered login or registration information without pressing the submit button.

They discovered that 1,844 websites in the European Union collected individual email addresses without permission, while 2,950 websites in the United States did the same.

According to the report, USAToday, Time, Fox News, and Trello were the top U.S. websites by user traffic where tracker software collected personal data including emails, while Newsweek, Shopify, and Marriott topped the EU list.

“It far exceeded our expectations,” says Güneş Acar, a Radboud University professor and researcher, who added that his team had expected to uncover only a few hundred sites collecting user data.

“Based on our findings, users should anticipate that trackers will gather personal information they type into online forms, even if the form is never submitted,” the study’s authors said.

The findings revealed that while some websites collected data in-house before submitting it, the majority of the data was obtained purely by third-party advertising and marketing firms such as Taboola, Bizible, and Glassbox digital, which were integrated into websites to monetize content.

The third-party data collecting process was remarkably similar to “keylogging,” a technique used by malware programs to record a user’s keystrokes, usually to steal passwords and other private information, but seldom to collect email addresses.

Furthermore, the researchers discovered “accidental password harvesting on 52 websites by third-party session replay scripts,” which were collecting password data before submission.

The study group has since advised the individual sites’ operators that the password collection concerns have been fixed.

They discovered that Meta and TikTok had utilized in-house invisible marketing trackers to acquire personal information from web forms without authorization in a follow-up inquiry.

Websites that employed Meta’s or TikTok’s Pixel software, which allows a webpage’s domains to track visitor behavior, would trigger a “automatic advanced matching” feature that would allow the two social media behemoths to capture data from an advertiser’s site.

Personal information would be captured by Meta or TikTok for every email or piece of data partially typed into a website employing Pixel software, even after a click to another page.

“We checked into their code and they were gathering all clicks to any button, any link on the page,” Acar claimed.

According to the professor, 8,438 US sites may have been leaking data to Meta through Pixel, while 7,379 EU sites were affected.

Tracking where you click on any given screen on a business’s website is something relatively new, but not bad practice. This is how businesses can experiment with the presentation of their products and ease of access to better produce sales for their site. However, the collection of personal data before its being submitted in the first place is inarguably a malicious grab. What is unfortunate about this is that exploring the internet will become progressively harder as time goes on. More and more malicious actors are seeking to squeeze every last penny out of every bit of user traffic. As time goes on, these processes become automated. In which case, it’s likely completely anonymized.

The Fourth Industrial Revolution is reshaping every sphere of human life — from government to commerce; from education to healthcare. It is even impacting human values, opportunities, relationships and identities by modifying virtual as well as physical worlds of human beings. It is in my firm belief that Christians won’t get access to much of the technologies to come. By choice of course, because that is the nature of the puzzle God has laid out for us. We’ve been given free will to live for the world and repent there after. But to be born again, solidifies your role in this world. We’ve identified ourselves based on the values the bible emphasizes, and used them for the foundation of our very identities. To walk away from that is the unthinkable. Stay inquisitive in the word of God, and the world around you.

A California measure that would enable adolescents to receive any vaccination without parental consent passed the state Senate on May 12 by a vote of 21–7 and is now on its way to the state Assembly.

Sen. Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) introduced Senate Bill (SB) 866, which would allow kids aged 12 and above to obtain a vaccination that has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration without parental consent.

Sen. Sydney Kamalger (D-Los Angeles) noted that parents want to have control over their children’s lives, but she said that some parents do not have their children’s best interests at heart and neglect or mistreat them.

Prior to voting in support of the bill, she stated, “There are those who are not looking out for the well-being of the children in their life.”

In opposition to the bill, Sen. Rosilicie Ochoa Bogh (R-Yucaipa) and her colleagues stated that parents should make medical decisions for their children.

During the hearing, Ochoa Bogh asked, “Where are our beliefs bringing us to, to the point where we say parents are no longer necessary?” “Because parents and guardians know their children best, they are now expected to provide information regarding the child’s medical history, past allergic reactions, and general well-being,” she added.

Sen. Melissa Melendez (R-Lake Elsinore) added to her colleague’s argument by asking how a parent would know to watch for vaccination adverse effects if they were unaware their child had gotten the vaccine.

“I think you’re not looking at the reality of the issue,” Melendez added, “which is that this might truly do very substantial harm to children.”

Several additional COVID-19 measures, including SB 871 by Sen. Richard Pan (D-Sacramento), which would have compelled all K–12 children to take the COVID-19 vaccination, have been delayed by its authors.

Pan withdrew the measure on April 14, alleging that COVID-19 immunization rates among youngsters are “inadequate” because parents are unable to find the time and transportation to have their children vaccinated.

We can go on and on all day about how these vaccines are harmful and biologically manipulative. But at the end of the day it’s the people behind the policy that are concerning. Are these public figures exploiting the fear instilled into society by urging citizens to get their children vaccinated? Even budging the children to become vaccinated without parental consent?

Those in favor of these tyrannical measures in places like America are only troubled by our position because they never knew the freedom they’ve given up. They haven’t observed the privileges given to them bought and paid for with blood sweat and tears. They seem to think humanity can operate without the people they loathe. Such shortsightedness is sure to progress into something much more problematic in the coming years. These are actions planned and executed, with the intention of dividing the public. These people enacting laws with the sole purpose of moving toward inoculating children with an experimental MRNA vaccination is egregious, and won’t be tolerated by freedom loving citizens. Children belong to their parents, not the community. Because the “community” has proven to be unfit to aid the upbringing of a child. Children brought up in the early 90’s and prior experienced life as it were. Organic and not digitized. Think of how far we’ve come, and how sinister this agenda feels when you see the legislation coming down the pipe.

These vaccines will be pushed onto America heavily by the UN and other globalist organizations once the two tier system is set in place. Nothing that these tyrants can say or do will convince self aware Christians to relinquish their faith in Christ. 1 Peter 4:12-14 says: “Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice insofar as you share Christ’s sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed. If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you.” Please stay inquisitive the word of God, and the world around you.
