Do you know of anything that we cannot look up/find out about on the internet?

Question

I was thinking about this yesterday because i needed to know about something and found out about it straight away because of the net. Whenever people need to know something its mainly 'straight to the internet'. This is what made me think is there anything that we cant look up?!

Answer 1

what exactly is going round in the two braincells of GW Bush
Why he really started the war in Iraq
Why Tony Blair is stuck up his lower exit.
...

Answer 2

The problem is, just because its on the Internet doesn't mean its true!

There is lots of information and OPINIONS on the Internet, its difficult to tell the difference between one and the other!

The big trick with finding info on the Net is to get the right mix of keywords when searching Google etc. You want your answer to appear on the first page, otherwise you have sometimes hundreds to look at.

Unfortunately, the way Google and Yahoo are apid to put some websites up at the front, you are never going to get a fair search

Answer 3

try and find anything negative about the isle of man their government would have the world believe they are perfect and so screen almost anything that is posted , they are a British dictatorship with there own laws so when they do wrong ie crippling or killing someone through stupidity they simply pretend it didn't happen and the only person a victim can appeal to is the isle of man gov , they even own the local news papers so nothing unwanted can be reported . my guy was left lying in the road after a potentially fatal accident caused by gov negligence , the papers reported that he had been stopped by police !

Answer 4

Yes, I do know of something... and I'm not telling you what it is or you'd find it on the internet.

Or more reasonably, anything secure or confidential shouldn't be on the internet, anything non computer based shouldn't be on the internet and lots of trivial stuff probably won't be. So... CIA and MI5 secret stuff. Govenment files. Medical records (hahaha, bet that stays true... NOT. UK joke). Your pay. My shoe size. Your passport photograph. Your bank statements. The colour of my socks today.

Oh, and quite a lot of useful stuff (like what bits are in and what drivers are needed for Gateway computers sold in the UK before they went chapter 11).

Answer 5

The Future. Whooooooaaaahhh!

Answer 6

It depends where you live.


edit: rofl hoiw can u possibly thumbs down a correct answer. It does depend where you live. e.g China has some of the strictest internet controls in the world, not to mention sanctions placed on those from the Middle East or India.

Answer 7

I looked up the US Constitution yesterday, actually the Bill of Rights and stuff I went to The Library of Congress and that site said I had to prove that I am American, and then it would cost $ per view. I was shocked.
According to the Freedom of Information Act:
The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) is the implementation of freedom of information legislation in the United States. It was signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson on July 4, 1966 (Amended 2002), and went into effect the following year. This act allows for the full or partial disclosure of previously unreleased information and documents controlled by the U.S. Government.
The Amendment part does not permit a US Citizen to look at what the Government does, the actions and votes of the Elected Representatives and President cannot be looked at.
Executive Order

The controversial Executive Order 13233, drafted by Alberto R. Gonzales and issued by George W. Bush on November 1, 2001, shortly after the September 11, 2001 attacks, restricted access to the records of former Presidents.

[edit] E-mail

In the case of Scott Armstrong et al. v. Executive Office of the President et al., the White House used the PROFS [3] computer communications software. With encryption designed for secure messaging, PROFS notes concerning the Iran-Contra affair (arms-for-hostages) under the Reagan Administration were insulated. However, they were also backed up and transferred to paper memos. The National Security Council, on the eve of President George H.W. Bush's inauguration, planned to destroy these records. The National Security Archive, Armstrong's association for the preservation of government historical documents, obtained an injunction in Federal District Court against the head, John Fawcett, of the National Archives and Records Administration and the National Security Council's purging of PROFS records. A Temporary Restraining Order was approved by Senior U.S. District Court Judge Barrington D. Parker. Suit was filed at District Court under Judge Richey, who upheld the injunction of PROFS records. [[3] – pgs. 151-152]

Richey gave a further injunction to prevent a purging of the G.H.W. Bush administration records as well. On counts of leaving the White House clean for the new Clinton Administration, the Bush group appealed but was denied its request. Finally, the Clinton Administration appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals, stating that the National Security Council was not truly an agency but a group of aides to the President and thus not subject to FOIA regulations. Under the Presidential Records Act, "FOIA requests for NSC [could] not be filed until five years after the president ha[d] left office… or twelve years if the records [were] classified." [[3] – pg. 156] The Clinton administration won, and the National Security Archive was not granted a writ of certiorari by the Supreme Court on these grounds. According to Scott Armstrong, taking into account labor and material costs, the three presidential administrations spent almost $9.3 million on contesting the National Security Archive FOIA requests for PROFS e-mail records. ([3] - pg. 159)
So there is information, public information that cannot be accessed via the Internet.
One day I looked for the Data Code to fix my computer, but that is no longer published on the internet. It is belonging to some corporation now as Intellectual Property. I guess that is ok. But I would have liked to fix my puter.
The Internet was paid for with tax money, seems like people should be allowed learn if they choose to.

That site helped me alot. They use the FOIA to get Public Records and publish them if allowed to.
The Goverment is whats up, they are takeing Freedom, adding State Religion, Federal Moral Codes, and National Secrets to obscure the information that rightfully belongs to the People.
I also tried to find a picture of Dumbo the Flying Elephant that was not easy. But I found one. =)
Internet is information, it is sometimes good and accurate it is sometimes pay now and Company Inc will send to you later. I do not believe Company Inc.
The information superhighway has now become the Censored Data Shopping Mall. Long as we are on a Windows Network we will be under the Corporate Laws of Steve Ballmer. Steve does not want people to learn, he wants people to buy. That is ok I guess. Censored Information is better than no information to someone.

Answer 8

Usually Government or Corporate secrets.

Answer 9

Why is my life such a mess?

I've found zillions of references to why the lives of others are a mess or why they aren't a mess but there's nothing specific to my own life.

Answer 10

Tony Blairs mobile number maybe?
