Google. No One Can Stop It. No One. No One. Aaaargh.
After cranking out three monographs about the Google between 2004 and 2009, it is pretty clear that the Google is falling victim to flawed reproduction of its own DNA. The death of the Alphabet Google will come from within the company itself.

Internet Investigation Tradecraft
A comprehensive 3 Day Workshop designed to give delegates the skills and knowledge required to perform an Internet Investigation or Intelligence Operation
The ability to identify and retrieve relevant and timely information, intelligence or evidence from the Internet and Open Sources has become a routine necessity for Investigators. However, the structure and size of the Internet presents many challenges for Researchers, Analysts and Investigators. A lack of understanding about the nature and workings of the Internet can mean intelligence or evidence opportunities being lost, or investigations compromised. This workshop examines those challenges and builds a framework skill set to enhance Investigations and Intelligence Operations.

Stephen E. Arnold: Citation Analytics Warmed Over and Still Incompetent
IO ImpotencyInnovation Is Not Reheated Pizza.
Do you remember Eugene Garfield? He was the go to person in the field of citation analysis. The jargon attached to his figuring out how to identify who cited what journal article snagged old school jargon like bibliometrics. Dr. Garfield founded the Institute for Scientific Information.

In Summary: The CIA routinely betrays and abuses German interests.

Germany retaliates by shutting down the joint Wharpdrive project for monitoring communications on the super-fast DE-CIX network and then expelling the Berlin CIA station chief. CIA Munich then bribes a BND file clerk to steal the Mossack Fonseca archives. After vetting the legal papers for Agency spooks, the archive is trucked to CIA-controlled Suddeutsche Zeitung, to put a stick in Merkel’s eye on her home turf. MossFon is redacted to target the leaders of the BRICS group and ALBA alliance. Read more.
Antechinus: Real-Time Media Manipulations
Corruption, IO Deeds of War, Media
Researchers at Stanford animate the facial expressions of a target video by a source actor and re-render the manipulated output video in a seamless photo-realistic fashion. The authors show how disturbingly easy it is to take a surrogate actor and, in real time using everyday available tools, reenact their face and create the illusion that someone else is speaking.
