turns out that was incorrect now we should also note that other online sites mashable app plan or even the news page from yahoo pulled the same information from google's own help page and share the direct text as well so we finally got in touch with another google p.r. representative who spoke on behalf of the company and she clarified the statement that google profiles is what you use if you form a google plus page and those will be made public if you don't change if you do not change the privacy status of your profile it will get deleted by july thirty first so while google has been what we were ported it's not false to say that your account will be gone if you don't change it to a public status so it seems like google is trying to get into a tit for tat as for how we word it what changes are under way google's headquarters now to be clear your google profile will not be made public on july thirty first against your will but if you have chosen not to make that profile public by that date it will be delete it therefore you are no longer be able to have a private google profile after july thirty first now the next point that p.r.

rep chris dale brings up has to do with our comment about google's you tube department this is what we said last week. major changes have been made to how you tube users can register and offer it on the site for years you tube is allowed users to upload videos and comment anonymously noble position is apparently changed and you tube it will no longer let people register with anonymous names they will now have to use an existing email account to upload or comment on the site. all right so let's clarify how we obtained the data for that comment again we pulled information from the u.k. site the register which stated it's no longer possible for individuals to simply log on to youtube with anonymous user name the world's largest broker has clearly spotted a flaw in the side business model and is now forcing users to sign in to the video sharing site using an existing a google account such as that used for say g. mail now within that piece they also point out how they contacted a person at google to clarify that information the google p.r.
11:33 pm
person sent the site this link it's holds it still holds the google plus project's headline at the top of the page and it carries this statement within the first paragraph google profiles is a product that works best in the identified state this way you can be certain you're connecting with the right person and others will have confidence knowing that there is someone real behind the profile they're checking out for this reason to google profiles that requires you to use the name that you commonly go by in daily life or the register also reported that when asked for further clarification from google about what their statement meant when it comes to you tube the representative said at this stage there is no further information to share so googling you tube has sent out an announcement to tell their users the all you tube users must be linked to a google account in order to sign into their you tube page while you tube nor google directly state that you can't be anonymous we understood that announcement to mean that every commenters every comment users now make on the video sharing website will be linked to their real names on their group profile and google
11:34 pm
account so in retrospect we realize that that was not true we stand corrected myself and the rest of the team for the yellow show would like to express our regret if we shared any false information or mr exempted misrepresented any information about google plus their account profiles and then changes to youtube accounts that are not so hopefully what we've just shared will provide google's p.r. department some insight into the reasons why we reported the information in the manner that we did it we had no intention to. mislead our viewers and of course if anybody has any further questions or comments you can always reach us through our regular feedback sites or you can refer to google's regulations and policies on their page although you might find them slightly confusing too but hey at least it's good to know the google or is watching. well today we have news for you about aaron swartz he's executive director of demand progress and co-founder of write it and he's been a frequent guest on this show but yesterday he was arrested and charged with violating federal hacking laws for downloading four million documents documents
11:35 pm
from jay stuart from mit's network now if convicted of the felony charges swartz could face up to thirty five years in prison and a one million dollars fine unchaste or as a company to provide digitized copies of academic journals its use in universities all over the country and they've already come out saying that they did not refer this case to the fat and that all the information has been returned but the rest is once again showing a lie on the fight for open access to information and sane improviser to wired dot com david to gallon the executive director of demand progress said it's like trying to put someone in jail for allegedly checking too many books out of the library but other open access advocates say that schwartz has just set the movement back so what do you make of this case well joining me to discuss it is bear brown founder of project t.m. an organization that works to improve the distribution of accurate and informative you barry i want to thank you for joining us on tell me how you see this felony charge up to thirty five years in prison does the crime fit what the punishment
11:36 pm
might be here. i think most people that look at this. what you actually agree that it's. a global problem here is that it. extends way chose obviously the. resources to choose the process much money to put into. prosecution that about educations and you know you're going to have two years we've seen them increasingly decide you know instead of going after certain crimes that one year or bugs much more significant much more closely observed it's your shoes or country they're going after information and when you when you look at what we. i know too that behind the scenes in terms of wiki leaks. very obvious false flag charges and stuff so in a staunch and with justice department having you know helped thanks america was looking for a way to overtly go up the leaks. i really think that this demonstrates the
11:37 pm
extent to which. you know when you have we have a certain you have a. law in some cases what happens to the government once and you see you see other kind of other crimes not be able to get all of it it really dissolved. you know the rule of law being perceived by the public well how do you know how do we make this very clear as to where this fits in this is the government information that's being stolen this you could say is a is a copyright battle but it's not like this is music this is these are academic journals that these are you know the things that researchers are academics have already been paid for by the institutions for which they work to do the research where does a fall into the whole you know i guess you could say bubble of what it is ok to to download and to steal and when one of the isn't. why i mean it's reasonable for
11:38 pm
there to the laws regarding access information you know privately held you know some i privately held nexus but i mean by the again the problem is you can prosecute someone for that or illegal and that's fine but when you have thirty five year sentences and when you have and when you have other crimes going and punished in the information feel like for instance with the with the all the intelligence contractors that nothing against anonymous you know earlier this year. you know when you see someone who has been accessed information as been put by by the fellow that you know it's very much against downloading or checking out to the bush or the library. that's again that's that's it shows the extent to which. you can commit crimes and generally get away with unless you're doing something that happens jive with the brain from ancient movements in which case you are made a target. now what do you say is some people out there that are also part of the open access movement that are supporters of getting information out there say that
11:39 pm
when aaron did it was reckless but it actually put the movement back a few years because now it somehow equated it with people like a low flag and those that are irresponsible. well i mean you know there's always a reaction whenever someone makes a major and there's and depending on how that plays the media that you know that may possibly put it back in the views of some people but unless moves are made in that regard progress to begin with i mean the whole point of this movement is to challenge the laws and see what the public in favor of what we're trying to do and you know. intense instances like this which should be controversial not ones and you know i don't think it's. backed by i think the sentence in response but it's. going to be you know to some degree blood sympathy for that movement and lastly we just reported on the fact that out of our fourteen anonymous arrests yesterday some
11:40 pm
of these people are teenagers thirteen fourteen years old and i think the feds are doing. well i'm on the metal and legal defense raised in january national or stuff providing result station a reputation of anything and then you go back to the borders set up and you're sure california when your kids will be tried again i mean the fact that you're west was charged based on what fifteen years. that again this is probable by the feds to overreach and they haven't quite managed to move into the information age in a way and in accordance with just when you look again at the people who come to accomplish what they're in barbet very heavy point it inspired you to sleep but crimes you can dream well. believe in the fact that i didn't do it all and around the world nineteen year olds thank you in your opinion hilton says or have been
11:41 pm
speaking to me a lot of ones and zeros at a corporate website urging nobody but i kind of find it so i put into perspective for you how barry thank you so much for joining us tonight. now coming out of a dubious dubious filmmaker lance knight's tool time segment and happy hour sticks and stones to members of congress are trading insults and nearly everybody is trying to make money off of this fat plus anderson cooper turning back into some of . the of.

11:43 pm
11:44 pm
costs and feeds in the palm of your. all right it's time for tonight's told time award and tonight it goes to james o'keefe he's that conservative film maker and i use that term loosely who has a history of making undercover videos of evil wrongdoings going on here in the u.s. now turns out after the release of those videos it's been learned that most of them have been very heavily edited to make somebody shall i say a left leaning person or organization look bad case in point b. acorn or n.p.r. but o'keefe the latest target is medicaid here he sends a man dressed in a kilt into a charleston south carolina public assistance office and a man claims to be a member of the irish republican army and asks for help for twenty five fellow
11:45 pm
irishman who are in the hospital so take a look at this clip clip of the latest work given that sean murphy tells the state of south carolina he is a terrorist seeks health care for foreign citizens exports illegal weapons and possesses incredible will what would the medicaid office do. twenty five of. the apartment. now the video you see the woman in the office explain the rules and the process of filling out the paperwork to get medicate she also explains anything he says must remain private because that's the law to protect patient privacy and guess what releases o'keefe released the video saying the business woman is a terrorist sympathizer i'm sorry how can james o'keefe call or a terrorist sympathiser because she didn't report the incident to the bullies she can't because the law because she could be arrested and fined for divulging any
11:46 pm
information that she learned during this meeting but that is classic o'keefe there you go after somebody who is actually doing their job now as i mentioned earlier he's got a habit of editing videos to make people look guilty we all remember his they've been hosting the targeted acorn and how fox news jumped all over that story. this is right. ok so should you. we're. going to get probably. these videos were put together by filmmaker james o'keefe who's joining us on the couch he is dressed exactly in the same outfit that he wore to the corner offices. now that sting helped cripple acorn and it turns out after are viewed by police and prosecutors it was determined that no laws were broken and the footage had been heavily edited including the pimp outfit which o'keefe never
11:47 pm
actually wore into any of the acorn offices next o'keefe went after n.p.r. and again fox news was more than happy to help. ok her approach to. this course. it will work for you. america. well guess what it turns out the n.p.r. tapes had also been edited and some of the comments were taken out of context not before the g.o.p. used the issue to try and defund n.p.r. oh and by the way that stunt did cost two n.p.r. exacts their jobs with james doesn't care who ends up out of work it's all just fun and games that for him my question tonight is when are television networks and web sites going to stop giving him a forum to spread his video mis information any time he releases a new video you should probably bet that it's heavily edited and full of deceit and
quote
11:48 pm
that's why he's tonight's told time whether. it's time for a happy hour this evening and joining me tonight is archie correspondent lauren lyster and derek thompson senior editor at the atlantic thanks for joining me guys . think that we're all familiar with the westboro baptist every every american now holds a special place in their heart for these people and i'm just kidding but we've seen them protest at soldiers' funerals what else have we seen them picket out there other high profile events in just i mean a multitude of funerals betty ford. that's right marian the funeral all week but apparently they might be getting a little bored because they wanted to go pro dead kids gone thirty. they're coming to see these words they're gonna take this bread of life they're going to start
11:49 pm
right back out but they're going to get it you know. like. he's not going to. hurt your. family he's the biggest family member so. i don't know what's better is the people with their the faces painted it trying to talk some sense and speak some logic to the westboro baptist but they hate gene simmons because he's involved in the no hate campaign he's opposed to california's prop eight and are the same sex marriage ban and because he's jewish he wonders if necessity is part of the problem of the running out of things to protest i mean gay marriage leases a sale going to cultural issue and you know a lot of other issues that they've that they've been protesting against lisa been in the news gene simmons is just a spokesperson for dr pepper any sort of he may still be going to or i think maybe with no one really thinking about him and so i think it points to the fact that there's sort of running out of things to morning out of places to protest now that
11:50 pm
every time they announce a protest a state quickly moves to try and pass a law that bans them from being within three hundred feet of the funeral i think arizona did that and illinois has done that and so now that more people are like passing laws that limit where they can be and what they can be i think i can more creative doc on others in concert i mean drawing on all that says you know old as ever that i'm totally with you but i don't care and i think i think they're getting a little bored we don't respect a rock star that's like popular today you know just say maybe at one time there are tours that i know they have a tour that they go on they planned so maybe that was just way the way it is convenient the place thing because it's a little passe sorry if there are any kids fans out there that are going to get mad at me for that but the thing about the westboro baptist too is that the supreme court ruled in their favor that they are indeed allowed to practice their first member rights and picket at these funerals and listen to this the federal bureau of appeals court yesterday on. overturned the conviction of a man who posted internet messages threatening barack obama during his two thousand
11:51 pm
and eight presidential campaign because they said it was clear that he wasn't actually planning to kill him but basically if you want to write that you want to kill the president or the campaigning against the candidates for president you can well i actually understand when i look at what this guy the comment that this guy was making he was saying the president has you know i don't know how to say the way guns are said like a fifty caliber or does that make sense you know coming out and i don't think that actually qualifies as i could understand that there is gray area there between like whether someone's actually saying i'm going to do this or saying this is what someone has coming to that i mean i think it's pretty. direct threat there is no clear and present danger i mean this is what you get with the first amendment protects people's right to say stupid and wrong things and this was a stupid and wrong thing just like other people say the constitution you see people freak out over it just the way you know after the arizona shooting of course and gabby giffords in january it was the vial rhetoric and of course there was what was the sarah palin thing that she was she made targets everywhere and people are saying that you know that that contributed to it but if you're saying you know if
11:52 pm
someone's got a fifty caliber thrown at them then i sorry it is that is your first amendment right to say that i mean anybody who has any direction can be a stupid as they want to be out of the country and we're proud of it and if they're anything else just look at any of our you tube comments. let's talk about anderson cooper for a second we're going to show you this again but as you all know he has a new talk show that's coming out soon. or no one there's a better have to start with glasses i want to enjoy you want to leave. you more of a why i want other people to as well. i'm starting a new daytime talk show september. they want to live more laugh more get more out of life apparently he's doing just that because then anderson cooper and i'm tweeting a picture of himself shirtless and covered in mud and he says i'm off for a few days from this photo can you guess where in the world i am exact location and
11:53 pm
turns out that he was a mud volcano columbia not a spot i don't like he says i'm sorry you're shirtless and you're covered in mud and you don't like just mr natural volcanic mud treatment nature i think we all know anderson cooper like spots i'm going to say about this this seemed almost an exact similar he's almost the exact same thing he does every year right we're in the world is matt lauer he goes around and he does not know there's less money and it will there's. an element of it that is like. the most trusted do you understand what you're trying to say is happening good i was just surprised he tweeted that i thought that you know i just was surprised if you usually see topless pictures of anderson cooper and the tabloids i think i don't know maybe he's pulling out. to a talk show host now and he has to be a celebrity you no longer going with you guys to a haitian orphans now he's a celebrity we're talking with the protesters and desperation you know i mean this is his ratings haven't been that high for anderson cooper three sixty transition to a different show this is the way to do it look here we are not i getting to come is
11:54 pm
what that means i last story tonight so this is just turned into a whole rotten mass between allen west and debbie wasserman schultz and basically she called them out for supporting this horrible debt ceiling bill that they passed and he e-mailed her and said you were the most vile unprofessional and despicable member of the u.s. house of representatives you've been proven repeatedly. and you are not a lady and therefore show not be afforded due respect from me but the funny thing about this to me is the way that washington works is that immediately the d.c.c. and emily's list of already sent out things asking for money and trying to fundraise off of someone else's bad words yet do not forget that this man called of one of ours not a lady i mean i think it's ever going to be about money and policy is tough ammunition right it's difficult to go out to people and say look republicans say this about medicare but this is why we think that ours is the more fiscally sound plan it's much easier to say look some republican said very mean things about
11:55 pm
a florida congresswoman this is what we're going to say about republicans it's i mean he gave them ammunition he loaded the gun another going to fire it to use the gun metaphor that you just back with the go back with the guns but yeah i mediately that's what that's what gets people to sign on to say see he called she said he said she was a lady and that she's vile and unprofessional and that makes you want to start. throwing your cash around i guess careful what you e-mail although it's not being used against you very very good thing for joining me in that there but right show thanks for tuning in make sure you can back tomorrow if you like to our jail t.v. interview last week just wait until you hear what the navy has been up to paul mccleary reporter for defense technology international is going to be on to discuss the unbelievable amount of money that we're spending on combat here in the meantime don't forget become a fan of a lot of show on facebook and follow us on twitter you missed anything you can always catch all of you to watch the alona show and coming up next it's at first of the.
