De vaccinatie carrousel moet blijven draaien, ...Eén op drie van personeel in zorgsector wil geen griepprik

De vaccinatie carrousel moet blijven draaien,

Big Farma (en hun  promotors) moeten blijven grof geld verdienen,

De virologen moeten blijven een reden van bestaan hebben, op basis van ‘de cijfers’ en ‘niet werkende PCR testen’ die zelfs het verschil tussen griep of corona niet kunnen detecteren,

De politiek moet de bevolking in twee kampen verdelen en blijvend in angst houden,

Onze miljoen jaren oude immuniteit moet blijvend ontkend worden en vervangen door niet werkende vaccinaties,

Regeringen blijven de rechtsregels en de democratie ontkennen en gaan in tegen de Grondwet, de universele rechten van de mens, de Nuremberg code enz... 

Regeringen, artsen en farmaceutische bedrijven en hun aanhang inclusief de virologen blijven steeds hetzelfde achterhaald, ziekmakend en destructief covid narratief herhalen zonder rekening te willen houden met goed werkende en levensreddende alternatieven...

De Media (televisie, kranten en internet) blijven andere opinies en alternatieven met een nog nooit geziene ijver censureren...

Blijkbaar om reden van steeds hetzelfde blijvend adagium: “follow the money”.

Onze democratie is niet meer ... deze maatschappij is de mijne niet meer!

Eén op drie van personeel in zorgsector wil geen griepprik: “Gebrek aan kennis ligt aan basis”

Volgens de meest recente cijfers van het Agentschap Zorg & Gezondheid beschikt laat 35 procent van het zorgpersoneel in de woonzorgcentra en de ziekenhuizen geen griepprik zetten. Dat schrijft De Zondag.

LH 17-10-21, 10:23 Laatste update: 11:11  HLN.be


“Enkele jaren geleden was de vaccinatiegraad voor griep bij zorgpersoneel nog rond de 50 procent, er is dus al een stijging”, reageert vaccinoloog Pierre Van Damme (Universiteit Antwerpen). “We stellen vast dat er vaak een gebrek aan kennis is, ook bij mensen van wie je zou verwachten dat ze de toegevoegde waarde van een vaccin kennen.” 

“Vanuit de sector is er ook een vraag naar een derde coronaprik voor zorgmedewerkers. De Hoge Gezondheidsraad en de Taskforce Vaccinatie zullen daar halfweg november een beslissing rond nemen. Die derde prik tegen corona en de griepprik sluiten elkaar niet uit. Beide campagnes kunnen elkaar zelfs versterken. De twee vaccins kunnen perfect op dezelfde dag toegediend worden”, zegt Van Damme nog.

ENKELE REACTIES

·         Schuurmans Daniel

Lekker laten prikken, ik ook trouwens. Een volgende keer zal ik passen want ze blijven zagen en mensen bang maken met de media voorop ... die volgen als schapen... pffff

·         Albert Sung

Gebrek aan kennis? Ik denk juist het tegenovergestelde.

·         Kitty Durinck

Combinatie van coronavaccin en griepprik lijkt me toch beetje veel. Kunt toch niet blijven prikken ??

·         Rita Muylle

Griepvaccinatie is echter wel een vrije keuze en ik laat me NIET vaccineren. Niet uit angst of onwetendheid of domheid. Ik wil het niet punt. Wat gaan ze doen ? Nog een pas bijmaken ? Begin dan ook met een luizenpas, een boerkapas, een zweetgeurpas...

Laat het héél duidelijk zijn dat er veel teveel mensen zijn. Men wil naar een wereldbevolking van tussen een half miljard tot 1 miljard. Zij die zich laten vaccineren zijn mensen die gewoon blindelings het verhaal volgen, m.a.w. nooit echt iets zullen betekenen. Alle belangrijke veranderingen, uitvindingen, zijn uitgevonden door verstandige mensen die “out of the box” durven denken, geen schapen dus. En dan een laatste punt: wie kweekt het meeste? De verstandigen of de werklozen? Prik er op los!

·         Marga Printemps

Een 2 uur durend gesprek met Geert Vanden Bossche en Robert Malone.

·         Carin Desmet

Heb 1 x eens griep vaccin verplicht werk. Had nog nooit griep gehad. Dat jaar met vaccin heb ik de zware griep gekregen 3 weken dood ziek.. Dus zwijg over jullie griepvaccin. Je eigen immuniteit en handen wassen is de beste vaccin.. Allemaal deze brol om de farmaceutische industrie te verrijken.

·         ghislain lefever

Gebrek aan kennis of juist wél kennis?

·         Daniel De Busser

Dat krijg je als je de bevolking voorliegt en een experiment door de strot duwt waarin niemand de verantwoordelijkheid neemt voor eventuele gevolgen. Weldenkende mensen verliezen dan volledig het vertrouwen en kiezen eieren voor hun geld...

·         Harald Vankerm

Vaccins hebben geen toegevoegde waarde. Het lichaam heeft een natuurlijk immuunsysteem om zich daartegen te verzetten.

·         jan janssen

Hoog tijd voor grote kuis aan de top! Natuurlijke immuniteit mag niet meer bestaan of wat is de echte bedoeling hier eigenlijk.

·         Frank Kaczorowski

Griepprik bestaat al 70 jaar. Het griepvirus moet er nog steeds om lachen. Ze trekt zich er niets van aan;-)

·         Andy Van de Velde

Ik heb nog nooit een griepprik laten zetten en heb nagenoeg bijna nooit griep gehad!

·         Karel Vandenabeele

Je mag er van op aan dat dmv covidpass nu ook alle andere vaccins gekoppeld worden. Je zal je jaren laten inspuiten door een gemanipuleerde angst.

·         Tim Deckers

Binnekort gaan ze nog een spuit uitvinden zodat je geen verkoudheid krijgt of diarree

·         Maarten Huylebroeck

De niet gevaccineerde hebben het steeds over dit kan niet gezond zijn,maar leven wel in de stad met een hoop fijnstof of roken,of drinken te veel alcohol, hebben stressvolle leven,wat is een goede gezonde samenleving?

·         Ronny Biesen

Gaan we nu ook een grieppas invoeren? En die mensen uit de horeca weren? Of griep of covid, iedereen doet met zijn lijf wat hij wil. Dat is een recht. En geen regering die je kan verplichten wat voor rommel ook in te spuiten.

·         terry henninckx

Ik neem geen enkele prik meer, heb vroeger ook geen griepprik gehad en heb nooit de griep gekregen.

·         Emmanuel Veraart

Pierre Van Damme wil waarschijnlijk de geschiedenis ingaan als ' de man die zijn volk leerde prikken '.

·         Dirk De Buyst

Ach mevrouw Haubourdyne, als je eens wist wat voor rotzooi er in je voedsel zit, dan at je niet meer.

·         johan van cauwenberg

Eerst liggen ze te applaudisseren voor onze helden die zelfs ziek in de vuurlinie moeten gaan werken . Nu worden wakkere helden die hun verstand gebruiken en durven opkomen voor hun rechten met de vinger gewezen . Respect is een woord maar met een betekenis beste mensen . Deze mensen die deze spuit niet willen weten waarom ze dit niet willen en zien en luisteren wat er in de wereld echt gebeurt . Mijn diepste respect voor deze echte helden .

·         Cris Verwilligen

Mr Boeckx, iedereen heeft een reden. Maar u hebt niet het recht om anderen uit te maken voor egoist. Denk eens even na en zoek op wat ze u willen inspuiten. Als u dan nog wilt, uw keuze.

·         Pascale Vereecken

Dat s helemaal geen gebrek aan kennis. Die mensen gebruiken gewoon hun gezond verstand !

·         yannick De wilde

Denk dat het ver wellekes is met de mensen vol te spuiten

·         adam naaktgeboren

Er werd vroeger zorgpersoneel voorgehouden dat je zelf maar niet ziek zou worden anders zijn ze je enkele dagen kwijt, nu om de patiënt te beschermen. Alsof het een gunst is om in zorg te mogen werken. Is het toeval dat een niet gevaccineerde niet ziek wordt gedurende een jaar en dat een gevaccineerde toch na de vaccinatie enkele dagen moet thuis blijven omwille van nevenwerkingen. Wat is het voordeel of nadeel voor de werkgever…mijn eigen immuniteit opbouwen is nog altijd efficiënter.

·         Norbert Corten

Gewoon misdadig, oudere en kwetsbare mensen zijn dus van geen tel . Leg mij eens uit dat verpleegkundigen of verzorgers niet op de hoogte zijn van een vaccin.

·         Steven Pauwels

Misschien kunnen jullie eens en deftige reportage maken over de wereldwijde protesten tegen de maatregelen.

·         Jan Janssens

...en in 1 adem wordt de 3e coronaprik al als een evidentie beschouwd. Wees gerust, iedereen krijgt straks zijn uitnodiging voor een derde corona prik, en wie niet komt zijn pasje zal vervallen.

En dit met dank aan alle naïevelingen die zich lieten prikken “om er vanaf” te zijn. Zij hebben de basis gelegd voor heel het discriminerende systeem van coronapasjes.

·         Gerda Haubourdyn

Is dat allemaal wel gezond.

·         Marion Van Saan

Misschien net meer kennis.

·         Ines Vermeiren

Dus 65% doet het wel! Vind ik al gigantisch veel.

·         Karel Peeters

Gaan de mensen hun ogen eindelijk open ?

·         Karel Rutjens

"Op dezelfde dag" een griep en covid spuit...zotter wordt het niet meer

·         Marc Jacobs

Ik dacht dat die mensen wel iets slimmer waren.

·         Bart Maris

Er is tot op vandaag nog geen enkel medisch bewijs dat een griepprik enig (positief)effect heeft op gezonde mensen. En corona hoort sinds mensenheugenis bij de ongeveer 100 virussen die men bij de 'griep' rekent. Op ieder moment is ongeveer 10% van een bevolking besmet met die virus(-sen), daarbij wordt ongeveer in 7-15% van de gevallen ook coronavirus gemeten. Bij zieke mensen ligt die besmettingsgraad natuurlijk veel hoger. Niks nieuws onder de zon, ook niet wat oversterfte betreft.

·         Michel Hofkens

Nee, door hun kennis weten ze waarom ze het niet willen.

·         Charity Swinnen

Werkzaamheid griepvaccin is ook bedroevend laag. Indien coronavaccins even goed waren had Niemand ze laten zetten.

·         An de Knijf

En prikken maar! 🤣

 You ARE what you eat, and canola oil makes you FAT and DUMB

(canola oil = koolzaadolie/ Colza/ Raapzaadolie )

(Natural News) All dementia cases have a concurring theme, where the specialized cells in the brain that process and transmit information using chemical and electrical signals are disrupted and dying. Entire networks break down as their connections are clotting and clogged up with plaques, leading to brain cell suicide, also known as brain atrophy. Once this becomes widespread, brain volume is significantly decreased, and what follows is massive memory loss. That’s where evil canola oil comes in.

All canola oil, whether conventional, organic, or cold-pressed, coagulates over time, causing weight gain and memory loss, and here’s how. Canola oil causes plaques, clumps and build-ups between neurons, creating neurofibrillary tangles in the brain, leading to memory loss and early onset dementia, not to mention rapid weight gain, according to an in-depth study published by NIH.

Yet, most people eat canola oil every day, nearly every meal. They don’t realize it’s in NEARLY ALL processed food, restaurant food and those self-serve, prepared food counters (think egg salad, chicken salad, potato salad, macaroni salad, etc.)

If you don’t stop eating canola oil, even the organic kind, when will your brain function reach a tipping point, where the plaques spread like wildfire throughout the brain and you can no longer remember your relatives’ names?

        LINK: https://youtu.be/H6YP5RViaAE

Covid vaccines and canola oil are the FASTEST ways to clog your blood and suffer soon from spike protein syndrome and early onset dementia

Your vascular system plays a key role in delivering oxygen and nutrients to the brain, making the Covid vaccines a big NO-NO, since those injections introduce billions of microscopic spike particles that stick together in blood vesselsclogging the blood and thus limiting the flow of oxygen and nutrients throughout the body, including to the brain. Then imagine what happens when you add in canola oil that wrecks brain and blood function, leading to obesity and dementia.

It is common for the human brain to shrink a little with healthy aging, but it’s not normal for neurons to die off in mass. Dementia destroys vital neuron networking, such as metabolism, communication and repair, and damages the cerebral cortex (reasoning, language and social behavior hub) and the hippocampus (the memory hub). Eventually, the disease is fatal.

Did you know mice can suffer Alzheimer’s disease, just like humans? That’s why they are key to studies that help find the cure. The cure, so far, lives only in prevention. In the Temple University study done in 2017 on canola oil, researchers watched the mice get fat and dumb, quick. They published the study in Scientific Reports and after feeding the mice just two tablespoons of canola oil daily, it took only six months for the mice to put on significant weight, compared to the control group, which got a standard diet with zero canola.

The cognitive tests run on the mice found that the canola oil deeply affected short-term memory, working memory and learning ability. The canola oil was also eating away the protein that protects the brain from the plaques of Alzheimer’s from building up. In other words, the canola oil isn’t just causing ‘road blocks’ and ‘accidents’ in the brain, it’s removing all the safety mechanisms (red lights and stop signs) your brain has in place to protect itself. Here’s a very short and informative video about early onset dementia.

More than 80% of PROCESSED ORGANIC products contain blood-clogging, mind-numbing canola oil

There’s a reason canola oil is in so many products – it’s the cheapest preservative that also causes weight gain and dementia. This is proven by science. It makes corporations money while shortening human life and the quality of that life. Mix it with food and the food becomes “food stuff” that even cockroaches and ants won’t eat. Mold and fungus are staved off to prolong the shelf life of products, while the same chemicals from that rapeseed oil rip apart your brain cells and clog up the neuron networks. Plus, 90 percent of canola oil is GMO, adding deadly pesticides to the brain function decimation equation.

Walk into even healthier food stores like Trader Joes and Whole Foods, and you will find canola oil in eight out of every ten processed food products you pick up, maybe all ten, and it doesn’t matter if the product is organic and the canola oil is organic, because the end result is the same – an obese consumer who can’t even take care of themselves or remember their relatives.

Tips: No processed oils are good for the body, despite the reviews, but if you must cook with some, switch to organic grapeseed, sunflower or avocado oil (they have higher smoke points also), but avoid cooking olive oil. Remember, canola oil makes you fat and dumb, so avoid it at all costs. Read the ingredients on everything you buy, because sometimes they sneak it into the middle of the ingredients list.

Tune your truth news dial to Pandemic.news to stay informed of the engineered pitfalls of the Covid scamdemic. It doesn’t take a scientist or doctor to see that Covid vaccinesRemdesivir and ventilators are compounding the problems of the pandemic, creating a pandemic of their own, thanks to “Western Medicine” and the scam artists who are perpetrating the entire nightmare of bad medical care.

Canola Oil: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

Posted 7 years ago under  Uncategorized

 

 

Corn oil comes from corn:

sunflower oil from sunflowers,

sesame oil from sesame seeds,

peanut oil from peanuts,

olive oil from olives,

 

Canola oil from…Canolas? 

What is a Canola? And why is the word “Canola” capitalized?
Canola is an engineered plant developed in Canada.

The oil is derived from the rapeseed plant (an excellent insect repellent, by the way.) The rapeseed is a member of the mustard family.

Rapeseed oil has been used extensively in many parts of the world, namely India, Japan, and China. Before the rapeseed was genetically engineered, about two-thirds of the monounsaturated fatty acids were erucic acid.

 

Erucic acid was associated with Keshan’s disease, a condition which is characterized by fibrous lesions of the heart. In the late 1970s, Canadian plant breeders were able to create a variety of rapeseed which produced a monounsaturated oil which was much lower in erucic acid. This “new” oil was originally called LEAR oil (Low Erucic Acid Rapeseed.) Neither “rape” nor “lear” created an appealing image: hence, Canola …(“Canada” and “oil.”)

 

 

The good:
Canola oil is marketed as an oil very low in saturated fat and high in monounsaturated fat. Diets high in saturated fats have been blamed for the incidence of higher levels of heart disease (although recent research is supporting the value of select saturated fats such as grass-fed beef and organic butter.) Studies involving a traditional Mediterranean diet which is naturally high in monounsaturated fats are pointing to lower rates of both cancer and heart disease.
Canola oil also possesses a beneficial omega-3 fatty acid profile. Recent research touts the myriad benefits of omega-3’s.
Polyunsaturated oils have recently come under increased scrutiny.

Yet, studies involving olive oil, a monounsaturated oil, point to positive health benefits and disease prevention. Being that Canola oil is a monounsaturated oil, this may make Canola oil superior to other polyunsaturated oils such as sunflower, corn, and safflower oil.
Canola oil is, for the most part, tasteless, — making it a good choice for baked goods.

 

The bad:
Canola oil took the market by storm, as it is relatively inexpensive to produce, especially compared to olive oil. Olive oil has a long history of scientifically documented health benefits. The problem with olive oil is that there is not enough olive oil in the world to meet the industry’s needs. In addition, olive oil is too expensive to use in most processed foods. Canola oil has filled this need for a mass-produced, publicly acceptable form of a monounsaturated oil.

 

Olive oil is the gold standard, documented with extensive research. Quality olive oil (Extra Virgin, Cold-pressed) is manufactured by this simple process: The olives are pressed, the oil collected. The food oil industry is promoting Canola oil as an equally healthy twin to olive oil. This is deceptive, as there are few studies involving Canola oil and human health. (Numerous animal studies point to serious and deleterious effects of canola oil on rats and pigs.)
In addition to the genetic modification, the process of making Canola oil is troubling. The procedure involves a combination of high-temperature mechanical pressing and solvent extract, usually using hexane. Hexane! Even after considerable refining, traces of the solvent remain. Like most vegetable oils, Canola oil also goes through the process of bleaching, degumming, deodorizing, and caustic refining, at very high temperatures. This process can alter the omega-3 content in the oil, and in certain conditions bring the trans fat level as high as 40 percent.

 

The Ugly:
It is becoming increasingly difficult to find products that do not contain Canola oil.

A popular “crafty” mayonnaise brand boasts the phrase “With Olive Oil,” along with a picture of an olive and olive leaves on the front label. Upon reading the fine print in the ingredients on the back label, you discover that Canola oil is listed at the top of the long paragraph, olive oil near the end. Even worse are products promoting that they are made with olive oil, yet listed in the ingredients, the manufacturers state:

“May include olive, Canola, or sunflower oil.” The consumer thinks they are buying salad dressing made with olive oil, yet it could be Canola or sunflower oil. This is insulting to the health conscious population.

 

Canola oil is victim to both hype and hoax. To view both the hype and the hoax, visit Snopes.com and type in: “Canola Oil.”
The only way to prove either hype or hoax is to do more human studies evaluating the safety of this mass-produced and consumed human-engineered oil. The FDA claims that genetically altered/engineered foods are perfectly safe. (They made this same claim with Thalidomide and Vioxx.)
At least the FDA has taken a stance to protect babies from the unknown risks of Canola oil. The FDA prohibits Canola oil from being used in infant formula. Shouldn’t we know why?

 Amazon just launched a new robot that roams around your home, SPYING on you and uploading audio and video to company servers

(Natural News) Most internet users aren’t aware of this, but practically everywhere they go online they are taken to destination sites that use Amazon Web Services (AWS).

While most people focus on the awesome, and outsized, economic power of the multibillion dollar e-tailer, Amazon’s influence is largely unknown; after all, the vast majority of internet users don’t care who is hosting a website’s domain or what interconnectivity path they take to get to their online destination.

In addition, AWS provides an incredible amount of cloud computing services as well; the company’s storage capacity and computing power is almost immeasurable. Consider that, for a time, the Pentagon was considering Amazon Web Services, as well as Microsoft, to host its JEDI cloud project. (Update: Both companies will likely make out.) So the point is, Amazon, besides being the world’s most dominant e-tailer, is also one of the world’s most dominant internet cloud players.

Which brings us to why that is a problem for Mr. and Mrs. Ordinary Citizen.

In addition to being all of this, Amazon also markets ‘home convenience’ products that present major problems for personal privacy, but which the company gets away with because its products are bought and brought into homes voluntarily (who cares if you didn’t know that your data was being collected — for ‘marketing purposes’?).

CNBC reports on a new ‘home robot’ the tech and e-tail giant is now marketing:

Amazon announced a home robot called Astro. 

Astro is equipped with a rotating screen that’s mounted onto a base with wheels. Amazon designed the robot to appear animated and friendly, with eyes and expressive body movements that respond to user interaction.

The robot can move on its own from room to room and is capable of navigating around objects on the floor or braking to avoid colliding with obstacles such as a pet that moves into its path. A periscope camera attached to the base of the device can be raised or lowered to view objects that are high up.

“I’ve had this robot in my home for about a year, and it does wonderful things,” says Amazon Senior Vice President David Limp.

Okay, cool, right? Not so fast.

“Astro is equipped with Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant. It can set and deliver reminders, serve up entertainment such as TV shows or podcasts and control smart home devices, among other tasks. The robot also responds to commands; so if users say, ‘Astro, beatbox,’ the robot will make musical noises,” CNBC reported.

Astro’s ‘voice commands’ mean that the robot is always listening (otherwise how can it respond?). That’s a problem because the device is also WiFi-enabled (which is how it can call up information, songs, entertainment you ‘request’ with a voice command).

We already know from the testimony of industry insiders and experts that these companies like Amazon and Google are information sponges; they absorb every ounce of data on every person possible in order to market to us. That requires constant input of data and storage of that data for later recall, which is a gigantic privacy invasion Congress should have dealt with years ago. Or the Justice Department.

And speaking of Congress and the Justice Department, in exchange for the government being able to access that vast amount of personal data on a whim, Amazon and other big tech companies ‘provide’ the access in exchange for being left alone by pesky government regulators. This is the ultimate “1984” scenario about which author George Orwell prophesied in his dystopian classic novel.

Around the time Donald Trump was about to become president, Amazon introduced another ‘home convenience device’ that is always listening: Amazon Echo. And we warned then, as well, that getting one was a huge voluntary risk of your privacy.

What Data About You Can the Government Get From Big Tech?


  4 months ago   (today 16/10/2021)

   

The revelations of a leak investigation started in the Trump administration are a reminder that Big Tech companies often hand over information about their users.

June 14, 2021, 6:57 p.m. ET


The Justice Department, starting in the early days of the Trump administration, secretly sought data from some of the biggest tech companies about journalistsDemocratic lawmakers and White House officials as part of wide-ranging investigations into leaks and other matters, The New York Times reported last week.

The revelations, which put the companies in the middle of a clash over the Trump administration’s efforts to find the sources of news coverage, raised questions about what sorts of data tech companies collect on their users, and how much of it is accessible to law enforcement authorities.

Here’s a rundown:

What data do the big tech companies collect and store about their users?

All sorts. Beyond basic data like users’ names, addresses and contact information, tech companies like Google, Apple, Microsoft and Facebook also often have access to the contents of their users’ emails, text messages, call logs, photos, videos, documents, contact lists and calendars.

Is all of that data available to law enforcement?

Most of it is. But which data law enforcement can get depends on the sort of request they make.

Perhaps the most common and basic request is a subpoena. U.S. government agencies and prosecutors can often issue subpoenas without approval from a judge, and lawyers can issue them as part of open court cases. Subpoenas are often used to cast a wide net for basic information that can help build a case and provide evidence needed to issue more powerful requests.

With subpoenas, the authorities typically can get basic user data from tech companies, such as when an account was opened; the account holder’s name, address, email address and billing information; and a user’s internet-protocol or IP address. That can show their approximate location when the address was recorded.

The Justice Department subpoenas sought phone records. What about that sort of data?

Investigators often also seek logs of calls, text messages and emails. Such logs include details on who sent and received a call or message and when. Obtaining such data sometimes requires a higher-level request, such as a court order, which is issued by a judge.

The Justice Department used a court order to seek email logs from Google for four New York Times reporters as part of its investigation into leaks of classified information several years ago. The Times successfully resisted the order after Google informed it of the request.

In late 2017 and early 2018, the Justice Department also requested call records, as well as other basic information, from Apple and Microsoft related to people who work in Congress.

Apple and Microsoft complied with those subpoenas in part, but the companies did not send any call records to the Justice Department, according to two people familiar with the companies’ responses.

Apple said that it turned over call records only when the authorities have a warrant and that in 2019 it stopped collecting call logs.

Law enforcement officials are more likely to obtain call logs from telecommunications companies like Verizon and AT&T.

What can the authorities get with a warrant?

A warrant is a much more powerful investigative tool and can yield all sorts of sensitive, private data about tech companies’ users.

Investigators can get a warrant by submitting an application to a judge that lays out evidence suggesting the subject of the warrant committed a crime. The judge can then issue the warrant for specific information.

With a warrant, officials can get access to far more data than with a subpoena, including the contents of emails, text messages, photos, documents, calendars and contact lists.

Apple, Google and Microsoft store such data on their servers as part of their cloud services for consumers. Those cloud services are frequently used by customers to retrieve information if a phone needs to be replaced.

Facebook also turns over similar private information to authorities with warrants, including messages, photos, videos, posts and location data, it said.

Law enforcement authorities can also use warrants in other ways. Police have issued warrants to Google for any devices that were near where a crime was committed.

The companies say they sometimes work with law enforcement officials to narrow their requests so the companies turn over only information that is relevant to a case.

How often do the authorities obtain such data from the tech companies?

Apple said that in the first half of 2020, the latest period available, it received more than 5,850 requests from U.S. authorities for data related to 18,600 accounts. It turned over basic data in 43 percent of those requests and actual content data, such as emails or photos, in 44 percent of requests.

Microsoft said that it received 5,500 requests from U.S. law enforcement over the same period, covering 17,700 accounts, and that it turned over basic data to 54 percent of requests and content to 15 percent of requests.

Google said that it received 39,500 requests in the United States over that period, covering nearly 84,700 accounts, and that it turned over some data in 83 percent of the cases. Google did not break down the percentage of requests in which it turned over basic data versus content, but it said that 39 percent of the requests were subpoenas while half were search warrants.

Facebook said that it received 61,500 requests in the United States over the period, covering 106,100 accounts, and that it turned over some data to 88 percent of the requests. The company said it received 38,850 warrants and complied with 89 percent of them over the period, and 10,250 subpoenas and complied with 85 percent.

In these cases, U.S. authorities include any federal, state or local law enforcement office.

Do the companies ever resist these requests?

Yes. The companies say they sometimes push back on subpoenas, court orders and warrants if they believe the officials lack appropriate legal authority or if the requests are too broad.

In response to requests from U.S. authorities in the first half of 2020, Apple said it challenged 4 percent of requests and Microsoft said it rejected 15 percent. Google and Facebook did not disclose how often they challenged requests.

Is any data off-limits?

Yes. Tech companies — and law enforcement officials — can’t access data that is end-to-end encrypted. Such encryption means that only the account owner, or the sender and receiver of a message, can see the contents of the information.

For Apple, iMessages, which are text messages sent between two iPhones, as well as FaceTime calls are end-to-end encrypted. Still, if a user backs up their text messages to Apple’s iCloud service, iMessages then become accessible to Apple and can be turned over to the authorities with a warrant.

Apple’s iPhones and some Android smartphones are also encrypted, which has at times led to fights with the F.B.I. over access to criminals’ devices. But law enforcement authorities across the country also regularly use tools that can effectively hack into phones and extract their data.
