I normally delete stuff like this–it is an ad–without thinking twice. But in this case, I thought twice, and I thought the ad was fascinating and worth sharing. This is how low we (the world) have sunk. People advertise their services to enable you to change your grades, to pry into other people’s private correspondence, to listen to private conversations, and to steal from others. There may be other things to say about this service, but right now just color me “appalled.” I deleted the email for reply to the ad.

I just cancelled my Pay Pal account! Thanks, Dianne!
Yes, this group does sound like a bunch of “prefessioners”.
My account was hacked, that is why I no longer use my name here.
It’s disheartening to see good American hacking jobs being outsourced to India.
I just got a spambot comment on my blog post about Pearson’s social media monitoring policies — it was about Pearson’s social media tracking software and a link to the advertising page.
The irony was so delicious, I let it through.
Omg. I thought it was an article and I hit that link also. Got to be so careful.
Being originally from India, I am sorry for India and sorry to see this type of ads.
Don’t worry, Raj. They are entrepreneurs peddling destructive innovation. That kind of scum knows no nationality: they breed all over the world.
2old2teach: what you said.
And thank you for saying what needed to be said—we are on the same wave length. I think we would have been a good team in the classroom.
😎
It’s possible someone is simply trying to degrade your site.
Might not tell you much, but WordPress allows you as blog administrator to see the IP address, which you can then do a lookup on.
good article.
I am new on wordpress.please follow my blog here https://faisalfairuh.wordpress.com/
“What is real and what is fake?”
Suffering is real.
The Buddha (among others) figured this out thousands of years ago, and despite our advancements we are still forced to contend with anxiety and dissatisfaction on a regular basis.
Sadly, millions of Americans are suffering more than they otherwise would be since our public education system (K-Grad) is under assault.
Oh but don’t worry, they are “prefessioners.” Yikes.
Just for a little levity. During the time I spent in NYC and New Jersey, I was also astounded by the “walk and talk” custom that everyone: guilty and innocent participated in. Perhaps they were on to something?
I have resisted storing stuff “in the cloud” for exactly this reason. There is a part of me that longs for the paper culture. I hear that file cabinets are making a comeback.
Some people are refusing to hook up computers to the internet. Our nuclear missiles use ancient technology that is over thirty years old because they are afraid to expose them to hackers.
I often think Thoreau had it right!
I think those days are long gone.
Somehow, living on “Walton Pond” is not the same
“Walton Pond”
I live on Walton Pond
Behind the Walmart store
With Nature I will bond
By dumpster near the door
We can resist a lot of technology’s claims on our lives.
Ha, ha (although, in reality, not so funny)–love your “file cabinet” comment, 2old. In retrospect, lots of youn’uns might not know what a file cabinet is!
The age we have entered is one in which what is real no longer matters. All that matters is what something or someone APPEARS TO BE. When you have a culture that no longer values striving, achievement, or honor, it is inevitable that this follows.
What’s next? Complete incompetence and inability to function in society.
I put the last line in Diane’s post—What is real and what is fake? —into a Google search with quotes for the whole phrase and got about 66,500 results, many about fake versus real love.
Then I remembered that hacking is becoming an organized and international business with “hackers” thinking of themselves as artists. I kid you not. Here is the website that shows how the international community of hackers is getting organized. It all looks benign, like corporate retreats designed to energize CEOs. see http://www.hackerparadise.org/
Laura,
Like Gangsters Inc
Like the education industry (as in Pear$on), Diane!
You think this is bad..here a a video about Gold Farming in China. These people sit here day and night playing games and earning ‘gold’ for rich players. I mean really, isn’t the point of playing a game to play the game, not pay someone else to do it for you?
There is a price for everything now days. I wonder how much it pays per day to work for Pearson’s social network spies?
cary–this is also being done by wealthy, purported “big game” hunters–have people in various countries kill lions & other animals
“for” them, & pay (of course, much, much less than minimum wage). What a world we live in.
Cool, Diane, if this goes viral, perhaps folks will understand that no online data is ever safe, so therefore, no important stuff should go on it!
Pearson Scientist, is a professional monitoring team based in UK. We are testsessioners, we get your spying done in less than 48hrs . We are the best in the following:
* MONITOR LITTLE KIDDIES ON SOCIAL MEDIA FOR CHAT ABOUT PARCC TEST AND SCHOOL PROM
*MONITOR DIANE RAVITCH’S BLOG FOR OPT-OUT AND OTHER HIGH LEVEL ANTI-TESTING THREATS
* ETC, ETC
Reblogged this on David R. Taylor-Thoughts on Texas Education.
I have,in my iMac notes, a page called INSANITY.
I ADDED THIS.
Folks in PARCC states may want to ask their Dept Ed if it is using Caveon Test Security in Utah as subcontractor to “monitor” student tweets, Fbook posts. NJ is paying ~$90K year for the firm’s security work. See Bob Braun’s Ledger, nj.com Adam Clark article.
No doubt there are people who do all the things listed and it happens every day. However, I think the advertisement is a scam to get money, or a credit card number, and no such services will be provided.
You’re right about this “strange new world,” but for those of us who have already faced the beast of the empire in other contexts, what is new? The best protection for communications is a bit of wisdom. If you know you are being “watched’ (as we were when I was organizing in the G.I. Movement against the war in Indochina), you learn discretion. I’m glad that people are learning to be less trusting, although sad that it has to be this way.
One important thing: The reason why tyrants do this stuff is to get us to self-censor or be dishonest in some ways. It’s a sad day for the USA when decent women and men have to work under pseudonyms (as I did as “Neil Flanigan” and “Laura DelVecchio” during my work with the military) and it gets stranger and stranger as we go down those rabbit holes (read the LeCarre novels if you haven’t for how this messes people up). So… we can continue to encourage people to report, write and fight in our own names no matter how many creeps push this “WE ARE WATCHING YOU ALL THE TIME EVERYTWHERE!!!” Big Brother stuff.
Our public struggles are one of the better disinfectants, but let’s not miss the fact that we have to fight for our First Amendment (and other) freedoms and rights with each new issue and in each new generation.
George. Your comments read like extracts from a novel. Thanks for this.
You’re welcome. Chicago is very exciting this time of year, with our Opt Out people swarming at more than 100 schools (we can’t keep count), the Chuy Garcia mayoral campaign, and all our friends running for alderman… We can no longer keep up with all the news at substancenews.net but try. And it sometimes reads like a novel when I got to the mail every morning and try to catch up during the day.
