Additionally, Google has been criticized for automatically updating Chrome with a listening piece of code for "OK Google" that enables audio capture by default, raising surveillance concerns. Keywords: [icann](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/icann.md), [whois](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/whois.md), [google chrome](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/google-chrome.md), [privacy](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/privacy.md), audio capture, [surveillance](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/surveillance.md) ### Basic Income Mailing List Scam, EU Initiative Verification - **Episode:** [582: Eradicate Misery](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/582-eradicate-misery.md) - **Published:** 2014-01-15 - **Time:** 1:24:16–1:30:31 - **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/582-eradicate-misery/chapter/basic-income-mailing-list-scam-eu-initiative-verification.md Investigation into the "Basic Income 2013" website suggests it may be a sophisticated mailing list harvest rather than a purely political movement. The domain is registered to a Dutch individual, and the sign-up process requires sensitive private data. The hosts express skepticism about the feasibility of the plan, noting that while the concept of being paid to exist is appealing, the Western mindset is generally not amenable to such a system.

This system requires registrars to verify the identity of domain owners, effectively creating a de facto national ID system for the internet. The discussion highlights that ICANN CEO Rod Beckstrom, a former DHS official, is overseeing this transition, which will make it easier for law enforcement to take down websites based on verified registration data.
