Opening Insights: Using Great Power for...
To suppress free speech is a double wrong.
It violates the rights of the hearer as well as those of the speaker.
FREDERICK DOUGLAS
Mozilla, the developer of the popular Firefox web browser, is a trusted resource, but it is under the control of Google and Apple, tech giants who have misused their power to control the choices of people (and manipulate their thinking too!).
Through their influence, the big tech companies have put people out of business, destroyed lives, tampered with civil liberties and unraveled the very fabric of society itself. This is who Mozilla's CEO, Mitchell Baker, has aligned her organization's values and ethics with.
Modern search engines (Google) decide what you can see and what information you will have access to. They decide what your choices will be. Mozilla is positioning its Firefox browser to follow suit. If you care about truth, liberty and free speech, then it's time to switch.
Though they profess security, selection, freedom and individual rights, the following article by The Post Millennial is evidence that Mozilla places profit over principles. They are proving to be a hidden arm of big tech manipulation.
Informational Insights: Beyond Deplatforming
Mitchell Baker, Mozilla's CEO, wrote on Friday on the company's official blog that they plan to go beyond deplatforming in combating what they consider "harmful speech."
Mozilla is the Big Tech company responsible for the development of the Firefox web browser, whose revenues are financially bound with Apple and Google. Upwards of 80% of Mozilla's revenue, which ranges in the hundreds of millions, is derived from its partnership with Google.
This week we saw the culmination of a four-year disinformation campaign orchestrated by the President. We have to acknowledge how the internet was misused to get here.
And we have to change it.https://t.co/gIVZHQPYT4— Mozilla (@mozilla) January 8, 2021
Baker's statement reads, in part:
"Since then there has been significant focus on the deplatforming of President Donald Trump. By all means the question of when to deplatform a head of state is a critical one, among many that must be addressed. When should platforms make these decisions? Is that decision-making power theirs alone?"
"But as reprehensible as the actions of Donald Trump are, the rampant use of the internet to foment violence and hate, and reinforce white supremacy is about more than any one personality. Donald Trump is certainly not the first politician to exploit the architecture of the internet in this way, and he won’t be the last. We need solutions that don’t start after untold damage has been done."
Baker then went on to make a list of what she thought should be done to curb this "problem":
"-Additional precise and specific actions must also be taken:
-Reveal who is paying for advertisements, how much they are paying and who is being targeted.
-Commit to meaningful transparency of platform algorithms so we know how and what content is being amplified, to whom, and the associated impact.
-Turn on by default the tools to amplify factual voices over disinformation.
-Work with independent researchers to facilitate in-depth studies of the platforms’ impact on people and our societies, and what we can do to improve things."
Of course, people on Twitter didn't just let that stand. They had a lot to say. Here are two of the most poignant examples:

"I support free speech, just not hate speech." "I support physics, just not gravity."

Possibilities for Consideration: Free Speech is Dead
"Turn on by default the tools to amplify factual voices over disinformation."
In other words, Mozilla plans to censor everything you see and block you from seeing what they don't want you to see. This is just plain, old-fashioned manipulation through propaganda and social engineering.
Unfortunately, that is the business model of today. The only way to win is not to play.
Consumer beware!
The technology tools that many rely upon to conduct their daily lives, business and education have turned against them. Technology platforms are removing American access to freedom of speech at an alarming rate. Their power is such that any alternatives to their choke-hold on individuals are swiftly eliminated.
To win against the immense power behind the technology, internet and financial organizations in charge of our government and education institutions we must get smarter and do it together.
AwareComm® offers a platform that provides the resources and the guidance to meet this challenge.
It’s not just that we need a solution, in this new environment nobody will trust, everybody is angry, nobody listens, commerce stops, efficiency diminishes, nobody cares.
Our culture consists of perception, attitude, thinking and behavior and we have created a culture now rooted in distrust, fear and anger.
The following models illustrate the psychology of fear and control
being used to force America to its knees.
Whatever we do, however we do it, this becomes the basis for how we will build relationships at home, work, worship and play. These models will permeate all dimensions of our lives and must be reversed if our communities and our country are to survive.
The Real Solution: Founded in Spiritual Principles
A real solution, fully developed (tested, proven and paid for), is found in AwareComm's proprietary Adaptive Intelligence (AdI™) algorithm.
The AdI™ algorithm aligns with the intent of Pope Francis's call for a 'Good Algorithm,' to reverse the damage done by the irresponsible use of technology.
Rebuilding Community Commerce - - Rebuilding the Soul of a Community
AwareComm's AdI™ algorithm is available in a community Collaboration Laboratory (Co-Lab™) Research and ePublishing Institute, where people learn to take charge of their communities by transcending adversity to diversity and solidarity through the application of responsible commerce. Success is assured by applying the principles of Adaptive Intelligence to entrepreneurial thinking using socially responsible capitalism.
What comes from an established foundation of commerce rooted in spiritual principles and AdI™ is a new business model. This business model, for the application of Socially Responsible Capitalism, is our theme and driving inspiration.
A Co-Lab™ is the implementation mechanism of the result of 30+ years of field research.
Co-Labs™ create an environment conducive to learning, solidarity and change (old ideas are more quickly learned and new ideas are more quickly accepted and implemented).
Our Next Step
The AwareComm® Team is attracting partners in order to awaken in the people a desire for peace and solidarity as a way to fulfill their personal needs.
Through a careful blend of AI + BI + HI + SI the Co-Lab™ Research Institute has the correct balance of technology, methodology, human understanding, spiritual principles and data science to put us on the right track to individual social and cultural empowerment.
Due Diligence classes offer a deeper dive into the Co-Lab™ Research and ePublishing Institute to determine if this philosophy is effective for your community. You will learn:
- The logical power of the AI + BI + HI + SI = AdI™ algorithm for communication and learning
- The communication power of Co-Lab™ Research and ePublishing Institute to provide secure:
