what we, of course, guessed, gets real proof, you were also confused, it is worth talking to someone, for example, about buying a certain thing, as it immediately appears from the smartphone screen in the form of active advertising. on various sites in

social networks. one of the most pressing issues that constantly attract attention is the awareness of the fact that our devices are watching us. you are sitting at home, talking to your friends about something unusual, and after a short time on the internet you begin to see advertisements for goods, obviously because your conversation was overheard. for example, forbes warned 5 years ago that smartphones actively listen and record every moment of our lives. journalists claimed that many applications use the smartphone microphone to record conversations and collect data in order to use it for advertising purposes. there are many ways that artificial intelligence algorithms use to listen to you and then use this data to target advertising. we know about popular sound triggers, such as siri or alexa, but these services and apps can have hundreds or thousands of other triggers that go off when you say you like where you are. eavesdropping and even

peeping have been the subject of attention from many major media outlets. yes, phones are listening to us, everything we say can potentially be used against us, this has been said by various authors, but the tech giants have long denied it, and how could it be otherwise, who would admit to spying on millions on the planet for commercial purposes? there were illusions that there are some islands of freedom in our global world, which are exclusively.

which spied on gadget owners, employees of the american media conglomerate cox media group, based in atlanta and providing services in the field of broadcasting and digital media, advertising and marketing, made a mistake. revenue exceeds 20 billion dollars. specialists were preparing classified information for large clients, but due to negligence, the staff allowed the leak of slides of an internal presentation. they say that the company uses an active licensing program and artificial intelligence for... listening to user

conversations. the main customers of such software are also mentioned there: google, amazon and facebook. a scandalous presentation by one of meta's marketing partners sheds light on how the company uses intercepted conversations to create targeted advertising. the cox media group presentation describes active listening software, which uses artificial intelligence to collect and analyze intent data in real time. to do this, the program listens to user conversations through microphones of phones, laptops and smart speakers. so trust technological progress after this, yes the name of the program speaks for itself: active listening, that is, active listening. when setting up any phone, be it android or iphone, you are offered to use a voice assistant, including activating it by a key phrase, it can be ok, google, hairy or something else, that is, in fact, your device is always listening to the world around you, that. at the right

moment it will turn on and answer your question or execute a command, a separate chip was added to phones specifically for this purpose, which can listen to the surrounding world, but at the same time does not consume so much energy that your phone. does not discharge instantly. please note that many budget devices until recently did not have voice activation, were not able to perceive commands in standby mode. there are fewer and fewer such devices every day, as manufacturers are interested in distributing voice assistants and the advertising model that their creators offer, for example, the same google. the purpose of such wiretapping is banal: commerce and more commerce. for example, in a conversation you say: i want to go to turkey for... vacation, through active listening technology, artificial intelligence selects specific contextual advertising for you on sites in social networks and enters your phrase into a special database and sells it to advertisers. maintenance of such technology is the most important task of groups.

surely you have encountered something similar, but if earlier advertising was adjusted to your requests on the internet, now the phrase spoken out loud near the gadget is recorded. in short, if through a digital phone. after that, advertisers use the data for targeting, if the voice or behavior data indicate an intention to buy something, then you will certainly be shown an advertisement for that very product, as the daily mail writes, this leak is the latest evidence in a series of messages indicating wiretapping of phones, these companies this is an analysis of your conversations, interests or behavioral habits in internet. discussed with someone the purchase

of a specific tv, the model of this brand will certainly appear on your screen. and you can repeat a phrase a couple of times in the presence of your mobile device or computer. after the information about global wiretapping, the leaders of the digital market only added to the suspicions with their behavior. so google very quickly denied the data on cooperation with 7g and removed all information from its site. amazon did the same, but now it is only checking cmg for violations of the terms of service.

after this story became public, google removed the media group from its affiliate program site. some started talking about checking cmg for violations of the terms of service. in a comment to 404 media, one of cmg's major clients began to deny the fact of working with the marketing firm under this program. it is also added that there are no plans to do so. in parallel , politics, as always, comes into the situation, the same media giant cmg, whose wiretapping presentation was sent to journalists, is actively donate money to democrats during the election campaign, they also give money to republicans. well, and the main clients of cmg, let us repeat, are google, amazon and meta - the top three sponsors for democrats. draw your own conclusions. i will give an example of visits of heads of corporations, internet corporations to the presidential administration in the usa. even under obama, they

went once a week either themselves or their representatives. that is, even then, the importance of internet resources was assessed at the highest level. and the fact that... that cooperation is conducted by special services with these corporations, messengers, social networks and so on, tells us that this has already happened in its influence any traditional media, the manipulative powers of the internet are simply incomparably higher, it turns out that today your device throws you furniture at a good price, and tomorrow this harmless. will be replaced by direct political propaganda, ask mark zuckerberg, his company meta, a big scandal erupted in 2018. facebook got into a scandal due to leaked information from the company cambridge analytica. zuckerberg's corporation transferred the personal data of 50 million users

london political strategists to influence the outcome of the 2016 us elections. another former employee of the company, sandy parolik, added fuel to the fire by stating that facebook simply turned a blind eye to the collection of personal data and correspondence. this is the illusion that there are some kind of intermediaries that create anonymity, that vps services allow you to save it, that this legendary browser allows you to maintain anonymity, but just a second, when tor was created, us military structures invested in it, well, it’s obvious why this is everything is done, all these information systems, from the point of view of big political decisions, they are primarily to monitor and control society, and only secondarily in general... and only secondarily in order to give it the opportunity to exchange information. how do you think

the matter ended for facebook and cambridge analyst? the english ceased to exist, and zuckerberg's company was worth 40 billion dollars. it hurts, but with a capitalization of a trillion, it is not fatal. well, the cleansing by a documentary from netflix, they, of course, they also passed. alexander nix intended to create a strong business related to the election procedure. after the election campaign. obama used data and digital communications very successfully. there was a market opportunity to offer these services to the republicans in the united states. google's problems with user privacy began with its mail service. at the dawn of the gmail mail service, a scandal erupted when the general public learned that google's algorithms would read all correspondence and isolate keywords. so that later they could be used show ads, no people who poke their noses into your pressing problems

of the universe, while such an approach has become widespread, today in applications when you enter words on the keyboard in what you say, companies look for keywords that can be associated with you. by the way, the story that smartphones spy on us without our knowledge has surfaced more than once, although so openly, of course, for the first time. in 2019, google admitted to wiretapping. after this story was covered in foreign media, a google representative had to admit that the company does record users, but does so solely for their benefit in order to improve the technology of the voice assistant, google assistant. the collected data should help it better understand people speaking different languages ​​with different accents, the company said at the time. that same year, amazon was also caught. bloomberg reported on a similar violation by amazon, which has its own voice

assistant, alexa. then it became known that amazon employees not only record conversations, but they listen to them, and then post them on the internet to make people laugh at them. in addition, some alexa users complained that the assistant first recorded their speech, and then mistakenly sent it to the user's friends. another case occurred in 2021, journalists found that the smartphone. sends all this information to the servers, even if you have google knows the entire history of your movement with the phone down to the minute, moreover, it is google that says that if you turn off the internet does not work. on the official website location.

position 340 times a day, there is no total listening to everything, there is a reaction to certain words and that's all, but this is so with american corporations and only for mobile devices that are powered by batteries, it's a completely different matter if there is power from the network, for example, the phone is charging or you have a smart speaker, here you can turn around to the fullest listen to you non-stop, analyze conversations, isolate different phrases words, try to understand the context. you need to realize that the manufacturer already knows about you a lot, further analysis

of conversations allows us to better understand your needs and give you the advertising that could potentially be of interest to you. of course, users have repeatedly complained and tried to sue, but the french managed to fine google 50 million euros. however , the company refused to provide a transparent report on its activities even to the court. google has hidden all information from people as much as possible. in collecting personal data, and if this information can be found somewhere, it does not correspond reality. users simply cannot comprehend the full scale of this surveillance, more than 2 billion people on earth are subject to total surveillance via an android device. google knows the movements of each of them. google knows all the queries these people entered. google knows all the videos you watched. google knows everything you wrote to your friends. with the help of android devices, information is collected about your bank cards, phone numbers,

addresses, names, and so on. just imagine the scale: users literally live under the hood. and now it's time to remember the news from 2008, then no one paid much attention to it. the us intelligence agency purchased mini google hardware search servers, the san francisco chronicle reports. in addition to storing documents, the servers will be used to search for information within the government network. with the help of mini google, the us administration intends to optimize the work of law enforcement officers with intelipedia. and already. five years later , google explained that yes, the program cooperation is much broader than the government network, and around the same time edward snowdan happened, who actually showed how much the us intelligence services store from our devices, all the information that is crammed into these mm services, sooner or later it ends up in huge storage facilities

- on huge servers that are accessible to the american intelligence services, another question is that here and ... now, roughly speaking, the interests of the average russian, they may not be interested, but on the other hand, we understand that western designers are not interested either sleep, and let's say, the technologies of the same color revolutions are constantly undergoing their upgrade, the last upgrade we saw was the belarusian events of the twentieth year, the kazakh events... iphone without the consent of its owner, the company vulnerability that allowed listening admitted the presence of a bug and apologized for the inconvenience. large corporations often

do this without the permission of users, for example, in 2019, apple admitted that... for many years it had been listening to phones to improve siri. in the same year, in a similar google also admitted to unauthorized wiretapping. the goal is quite harmless - to improve language recognition, but this does not make it easier for users whose conversations have been listened to for a long time. in general, it is not superfluous to pay attention to the information hygiene of the application that you install on your phone. convenience and habit of smartphones will not allow you to refuse them, but then it is worth clearly understanding that the gadget is not our close friend, but only a means of careful communication, including with you without your knowledge, so the number one issue of safety, because today you were offered to buy a t-shirt, and tomorrow they can throw you instructions for a molotov cocktail. good luck.

only for our tv viewers, we choose the best routes. we also decided not to look at the transmurian countries and came to the belarusian city, where alexander

vasilyevich suvorov planned to stay for a long time. and we are going on an exciting journey. many centuries ago, the lower castle and the trading quarter were located here, and then the town hall rose, where the city magistrate was located. so the kobrin princes and their squads stopped and feasted here, to show how unusual and wonderful our country is, the poet wrote 17 poems here, which were included in two cycles: old belarus and the place, and two poems: veronica in the village. only in 1871 , a temple was built on this site, later consecrated in honor of the intercession of the holy mother of god. ancient iconostasis and rare icons. st. nicholas, the intercession of the holy mother of god, she has been protecting the city from various misfortunes for... years. watch the program cities of belarus on the belarus 24 tv channel. meeting

amazing people, immersion in their profession. my name is mikhail pasmartsev, i am the head of the scientific department of the pripyatsky national park. the ecosystem is designed in such a way that the violation of one of its components will inevitably lead to the fact that all the others will change. and now we are on the territory of an open -air museum, a museum.

on our tv channel. the tv news agency presents in the public domain. we have no secrets from our people. these summer holidays for us began with a new semester, construction. one after another, the komsomol shalons left for the west kazakhstan region. we. a student construction company, a belarusian student.

everyone tried, the foreman asked us to work diligently, and in general, to even stay over the shift. this is my third

work semester, and i was simply convinced once again that it is always fun and friendly to live in a team, when one is for all, all are for one. there are a lot of impressions. it was like that in each of our detachments in

the kazakh steppes. 300 km from belarus , its anthem sounded. belarus's entry into the sco is, first of all, a vote of confidence, and for small belarus, which is geographically squeezed between the main geopolitical advantages of power, it is like a quality mark. for a long time, they tried to convince us that the vector of integration can only be western. i really want to hope that all these indoctrinations are well known to our competent authorities. do we, in turn, have something to put into the common piggy bank? brics? we should not proceed from uzhdeveni positions. we are donors. we will have to sacrifice something , some of our interests. compromise is in general, the same instrument of diplomacy. as

they say, god forbid to live in an era of change, but nevertheless it happens. american political scientist and political figure brzyzinski called central asia a great chessboard. the great game, it continues. hello, the program "say don't be silent" is on the air. in the studio are svetlana smolonskaya and tatyana shcherbina. and today our guest is an analyst of the belarusian institute of strategic studies, yuri yarmalinsky. yuri mikhailovich, in belarusian, we hospitably welcome you, but to speak today we will talk about the east. good afternoon. yuri mikhailovich, the belarusian institute of strategic studies recently created a center for research on the sco and brics. well, that sounds pretty general, i would like

some details. what exactly will the center study and what are the priority areas? it just so happens that the head of the center is in front of you, so i will answer in the first person. indeed, in mid-july we created a center for research on the sco and brics. its main function will be to perform the functions of the secretariat of the working group. organ of the national center for sco research, we undertake... the task of coordinating scientific expert-analytical work on a national scale on the sco theme, in the plans for next year we are creating a public expert-consultative council, where we will invite, in general, all interested parties who are involved in this issue in one way or another, well, and another task will be to ensure coordination with the sco forum and the

brics council of expert centers in the future as...

or priorities in the sco, but we understand that any strategy, even if it is it the most effective and ingenious, should be implemented by people, without this it will simply remain a set of text on sheets of paper, my personal feeling is that, probably, no one has really asked the question yet, how many specialists do we have with knowledge of the language of the sco countries, yeah, how many graduates of specialized faculties, universities of the same -

out of almost 200 people we selected 25, i think, but we will also observe, because we would also like to expand the expert community, this will be useful not only for bc, but also for - the media, this is not the only project of work with youth that we are implementing at bisi. the decision on belarus's accession to the sco was made on july 4 at the summit in astana. and let's remember this historical moment, let's see. ladies and gentlemen, the signing ceremony begins. decisions on granting the republic of belarus full membership in the shanghai cooperation organization. the heads of state of the shanghai cooperation organization sign. the decision of the council

of heads of state of the shanghai organization cooperation on the completion of the procedure for admitting the republic of belarus to the shanghai cooperation organization and granting it the status of a state. member of the shanghai cooperation organization. ladies and gentlemen, the signing ceremony is over. esteemed heads of state, the decision on full membership of the republic of belarus in the shanghai cooperation organization has been made. esteemed alexander grigorievich, i sincerely congratulate you. recognition of our country as a strong can we say that this, in essence, a state that has a serious voice in the international arena. of course,

such an exciting historical moment, of course, belarus's entry into the sco is, firstly, a vote of confidence, as well as recognition of those consistent and responsible efforts. which our state has been making for almost 15 years on the way to the organization, and in today's times , responsibility and consistency are the categories that determine strength, reliability, self-confidence, and for small belarus, which is geographically sandwiched between the main geopolitical poles of power, it is like a quality mark, let's go back to the origins, remember how it all began in the shanghai cooperation organization, when it was just being created then...

and if we talk about the differences, of course, the sco today is no longer the shanghai five that was created at the dawn of the 21st century, as a platform for resolving border problems, primarily related to the situation in

central asia in the central asian region around extremism, terrorism and separatism. and today, in general, the sco also faces a number of serious challenges and risks, well, in general. the point is that the organization does not stand still, it develops in the spirit of the times, in my opinion, the most important thing is to respond to the spirit of the times, it must modernize, improve, uh, follow the shanghai spirit as a basic goal-setting, try to seek compromises, find solutions to difficult, complex issues, well, and as an organization, an international organization of a new type, try to look beyond the horizon of future events and trends. that's it. here, by the way, the role of expert diplomacy is very important and in the sco forum platform, which i mentioned a little higher. for a long time , they tried to convince us that the integration vector can only be western, yes, euro -atlantic, so to speak, and for many post-soviet

spaces, this turned out to be a dangerous illusion, we saw what this led to, we are seeing it now too, that is, these are conflicts and wars that tear apart, destroy entire peoples and countries, can we say that... that belarus is important for the sco, including as an example, that not only european integration, perhaps the eastern vector may also be interesting, i will say this, that i really... do not want to hope that all these instigators are well known to our competent authorities, and by name, but if we answer the question on the merits, then belarus was and remains a supporter of a balanced, multipolar foreign policy, the thesis of the president, integration of integration from vladivostok to lisbon, well , or vice versa, in general, it has not lost its relevance, only the emphasis has changed, now we are talking...

current, in a certain sense yes, although in such expert academic discourse it is now more fashionable, or something, to talk about the global southeast or the progressive global majority, in general, whoever likes what more, well, but probably, the point is not, in general , not in the definition, but in what is happening, such a serious civilizational shift is happening, and we are averaging by the size of the state.

as far as i understand, no military alliances are being created, yes, unlike western

countries, that is, the same organization sco - this is rather economic cooperation, cultural and so on, rather than, say, the west uniting under the guidance of nato in order to fight with someone? you know, i would not idealize, much less demonize the west or the east, because in the same asia, for example... relations there are far from always unambiguous and these two poles are not uniform in their attitude to external partners. in the same asia, many elites, they are the product and beneficiary of globalization, are very tightly installed in the western-centric system. on the other hand, in the same west there are many sensible people who understand perfectly well the harmfulness of the policies of their governments, treat us with respect and goodwill, by the way, this is ours.

here is another thing, that the sco has, for example, an agreement on holding joint military exercises, which we have already seen, just recently, soon after the decision was made on our entry into the sco in the brest region, russia, kazakhstan, kyrgyzstan, tajikistan, are simultaneously participants, the csto. here with all the ensuing from article 4 of the treaty on

collective security by mutual obligations. i think experts will understand what we are talking about. can you explain it to us? depending on the ideology of values, the sco is not an exception here, another thing is that rigid alliances with a strict hierarchy and organization are gradually becoming a thing of the past, because it is especially convenient for small and medium-sized countries to flexibly maneuver and join situationally, this gives additional

space for the implementation of ensuring national interests, well, from my point of view, in general, in the sco, where... that conducts such a parallel and consistent policy in this regard? well, this is a normal routine practice of teaching, although in a certain sense, yes, this is a signal and projection of power. we have something to learn from our eastern, so to speak, well, partners, they can already be called in the defensive plan.

well, you know, i am not a military expert and am not ready to reason deeply, i will say that what can be learned for sure is calmness, measuredness, unhurriedness and ... in general, everything that is connected with this, we are often in a hurry , we will try to figure this out in pause, and for now we'll take a short break, i remind you of our telegram channel, say don't be silent, subscribe, ask questions and offer us new interesting guests, we are in touch! we will tell you about the progressive experience of various organizations in our country. once upon a time, this workshop was half empty, compared to the fact that now there are 50 names of new products, this is

more than ever, and in different areas we started, released. our enterprise is the only one in belarus that produces. this similar canvas, we purchased a whole line for this, starting from knitting, finishing with release. let's get acquainted with people who are sincerely devoted to their work. all the merits, what we have today - this is the merit of our large team and each one individually. everyone worries, everyone tries, of course, to make their contribution. even girls, some tell me, when you come to the cef, you have a smile, it is immediately obvious that you come to your place. i love the people. who work here, i have such a feeling that i come to my home, look at the project quality mark on our tv channel, it was precisely the difficult situation in which our athletes found themselves, it bore fruit, the athletes were even more motivated and performed with such sporting anger, with pleasure our friends, and from

which our ill-wishers will be perplexed, we were received very well, there was absolutely no aggression, when they began to win medals, then they say: well, guys, the conditions are so difficult and you perform, well, it just took off. work is always at the forefront, and such effective work really gives opportunities, as directly the formation of social well-being of the working person himself, as well as of society as a whole. to recover as soon as possible in international sports, such is the task before nok, it stands, the time will come. when everything will return to normal, it will be as it should be, the markov project, nothing personal, watch on the belarus 24 tv channel

. the program say, don't be silent is on the air again, and today our guest is the analyst of the belarusian institute of strategic studies yuri ermalinsky. yuri mikhailovich, the attitude towards belarus in the east and the west, in my opinion, correct me if i'm wrong, it's completely different. if you.

in general, the policy of previous years, the propaganda that generally provided, this political class, it simply did its job, this new generation of politicians, they grew up absolutely irresponsible, that is , they are no longer people of the de gaulle period, of the same schroeder, for example, that is, they are not statists, not statists, the president also talks about this, yes, actually it's obvious, even at the everyday level, so i'm just the law.

it's just beyond the bounds of reason, well, for example, when people go out with the flag of the country,

for some reason this is not welcomed, but everywhere everywhere the flag of ukraine, well, and there are a lot of such examples, so it seems to me that the problem is in this, here, to what extent it is surmountable, yes, we see trends that gradually the structure of those holding power in europe is changing, how dynamic these processes will be and... begin to diverge from the point of view of real politics - this is the norm, remember the phrase

churchill, it seems, in any case they attribute to him, that the people should not know how politics and sausage are made, yuri mikhailovich, well, you expressed the idea that you leave a chance , you understand that the time will come when, say, global resentment towards us from the western ruling elite, it will end and be replaced by some adequate actions, and...

an average of 2-3%, this correlates with the global result, which means in africa, it is about 4%, growth, which means asia is more than five, again i repeat, this is average, average indicator, average temperature, yes, as in a hospital, for example, the same india has grown by more than 7%, in such conditions it is serious, it is a serious result, while, for example, the european union, only by half a percent. compare, based on the fact that we always, as an export-oriented state, focus on the economy, the answer to the question is obvious, especially since the president always says that there is no need to get worked up over the regions, although , nevertheless, geographic diversification is important for the stability of our, our foreign trade, your project in bc is called

the big game in asia 2:0, explain: please, what kind of game is this unfolding in this region and why are our president's calls for unity and consolidation in greater eurasia more relevant than ever? well, the project is currently undergoing modernization, in the spirit of the times, well , i'll leave the intrigue for now, we'll think about it, we'll write about it and inform our viewers and readers, as for the big game, this term big game in asia is generally accepted in history. centuries for dominance in central asia, today the situation basically remains the same, the same struggle is going on, only maybe, it is not obvious to everyone, already in the ninety

-seventh year, the famous american... political scientist political figure brzyzinski called central asia the great chessboard predicted that it was in this region that the confrontation in the 20th century between the world powers would unfold. by the way, central asia is considered the heart, the heart of the shanghai cooperation organization and the heart of greater eurasia and, in general, the abundance of players. mainly non-regional, i mean the united states, and the european union, and japan, now, here, and south korea, which is now competing in central asia, often with not just contradictory, but sometimes even conflicting interests, creates the preconditions for hotbeds of destabilization and tension, well

, naturally, we, as understanding that the central...

this is first of all china, well, china is clear, china is an antagonist of the anglo-saxon world, there is also latin america, which, in general, is quite pragmatic in spending its resources, and central asia, well, ukraine, of course, therefore, it is transnational corporations that today their aspirations are associated namely with the development, with the extraction, processing of exported minerals, that is, in principle, until they are depleted in terms of resources, this will be colonialism in its purest form under cover.

preserving sovereignty and statehood, if we talk about a new center of power and the core of the emerging international order, then i would still mean the three: russia, china, india, here, there is the corresponding

format rick, here it is, though it is not working now for a number of reasons, but nevertheless it exists, also evgeny maksimovich pryamakov i launched it at the time, well, i think that under favorable circumstances.
