Rupert Murdoch’s fraudulent methods of obtaining stories about celebrities for the tabloid trash newspaper, are known to the editors and journalists alike. They are urged to make up stories (i.e. false reporting) in order to gain public curiosity, which in turn sell the papers.
In the recent light of the hacking of phones within Murdoch’s News of the World, comes also another criminal offence, in which the police, telecommunications companies, and the (Murdoch’s) business is involved in.
Many mobile (smart) phones have GPS capability built in (for example the iPhone4), whereas others use cell tower triangulation or A-GPS (Asynchronous Global Positioning System) to determine user location.
A method known as pinging is used by the telcos to establish the user’s whereabouts. This method can be used by police, and is authorised at the telco end by a couple of people who have the authority to do so.
In order to obtain information about celebrities, to bring the ‘gossip’ or even falsify events, the paper is involved in an act of fraud in which £300 is paid to ping a celebrities phone in order to obtain their location to get the story the publication requires.
The payoff goes through the police, and eventually o the telco, for pinging the celebrity.
This is known to the celebrities, in order to make it more difficult, the register their phone under other’s names and can have up to 10 phones at once.
This form of fraud is practiced by Murdoch’s news empire, and there is a great deal of police and telco cover up.
Again the courts will show that the world’s ruling elite is untouchable.
