Minor correction.  Hollywood isn’t, and before the recent redistricting wasn’t, 
in his district.  His district includes, among other places, North Hollywood, 
but there is little relation between Hollywood and North Hollywood.

[liberationtech] Comments on Internews new "information security guide"

[Brian Conley]

Hi all,

I have recently seen Internews' new internet security guide.

http://www.internews.org/our-stories/project-updates/speaksafe-new-toolkit-safer-online-and-mobile-practices-media

I wonder if anyone else on the list has seen it, or whether anyone knows
who authored it?

I'd very much like to speak with them, as I'm quite concerned about a
number of items in the guide. The most noteworthy being that Internews
seems to have proclaimed Skype a completely acceptable technology, with no
evidence of its encryption being broken. I'm not sure this is false, since
backdoors don't need to break encryption in order to function, but, well...

I will be reading through the guide at length in coming days and invite
Internews to contact me publicly or privately regarding the content.

Look forward to comments from the list.

Brian

I've been to his district, lot of overpriced, upper class mortgages; less 
disturbed by the actions of a Representative whose constituents can arguably 
claim to be directly affected than some Texas Congressperson that takes on the 
cause for no discernible reason of representation. What would be interesting is 
to contrast the policies of Clinton between her time in Congress and in State...

[liberationtech] Disruption at the Intersection of Technology and Human Rights - Forbes

[Yosem Companys]

http://www.forbes.com/sites/skollworldforum/2012/11/12/disruption-at-the-intersection-of-technology-and-human-rights/print/

11/12/2012 @ 11:47 AM

Disruption at the Intersection of Technology and Human Rights

Editor’s note: Randy Newcomb is President and CEO of Humanity United,
one of the largest private donors in the field of international human
rights. Founded by Pam & Pierre Omidyar, Humanity United seeks to
build peace and advance human freedom in the corners of the globe
where these ideals are challenged most.

This article was originally written for the Skoll World Forum.

Standing in the Holocaust Memorial Museum and in one of his first
public statements on the subject, US President Barack Obama
acknowledged the role technology has played in enabling human rights
abuses. On April 23, 2012, he announced Executive Order 13606. It
directs the Treasury Department to introduce sanctions against
Iranians and Syrians who tortured and killed their own citizens.

The announcement was a formal and public recognition of the
transformative and disruptive role of technology – albeit, in this
case for harm.   But buried later in Obama’s remarks was something
equally groundbreaking: He would be awarding the United States’
highest civilian honor, the US Presidential Medal of Freedom to the
now deceased, Jan Karski, most recently known as an influential
faculty member at Georgetown University in International Affairs,
Comparative Government, and East European Studies. He was also one of
the heroes of World War II’s Polish resistance movement, the Union For
Armed Struggle.

Imprisoned, tortured, and nearly murdered, Karski was tireless at
documenting and gathering evidence of the Holocaust during the war.
He was also one of the first to use information technology to document
human rights abuses. Using a relatively recent innovation,
Microfilm—patented in 1925—Karski assiduously recorded mass murder and
crimes against humanity during World War II.

Nearly seventy years later, information technology innovations are
offering disruptive solutions that are transforming our modern era.
The microfilm that enabled Karski to spirit out evidence of atrocities
in Europe during the war have been replaced by USB flash drives with
multiple terabytes of storage for numerous forms of media – and much
more.  The trajectory of innovation is overhauling the human rights
field.

Look at Benetech’s development of Martus, a human rights database,
based in the cloud with highly secure encryption and eraser technology
in the form of a “panic button” should data be compromised. Look at
Ushahidi’s crisis mapping innovations, or Handheld Human Rights, which
uses the Ushahidi platform to make human rights data more accessible.
Look at Witness, which helps people use mobile telephone video as a
powerful tool for documentation, engagement and policy change. These
are all the result of the surge of innovation in the past five years
alone.

Of course, more complex technology brings with it more ethical and
moral questions.  Innovation and ethics have clashed, particularly, in
the past two years across North Africa and the Middle East. When the
Egyptian revolution began on January 25, 2011 as a non-violent civil
resistance, social media and tech tools such as Twitter, Facebook,
CNN’s i-Report, and others were more pervasive than the resistance
movement’s placards and banners.  When violent clashes began to spike
between Egyptian security forces and protestors, documentation of the
violence was recorded and distributed in real time. Yet at the same
time, the identical media that were used to bear witness and document
the violence was now turned on the protestors by its own government to
squelch the uprising.  It’s well-documented that security forces used
images from social media and broadcast journalism to “red-line”
protestors in the Egyptian Revolution, identifying them through
crowdsourcing, then detaining and torturing them.

Fortunately many from the tech and human rights communities are
focusing on these issues.  Access jumped out front on tackling some of
the questions during the 2011 Silicon Valley Human Rights Conference,
with a follow up at the 2012 Rio de Janeiro Human Rights & Technology
Conference.  And Netroots Nation’s 2012 gathering included sessions on
innovations in technology and human rights. The recent request for
proposals by Microsoft Research to address challenges at the
intersection of human trafficking and technology offers a promising
example.

Impact investors, donors and policy makers can be far more forward
thinking by linking resources to fund the next round of technology
innovation and offering incentives to thought leaders to tackle the
ethical and moral questions. They can then build the ethical
scaffolding that unlocks the innovation. USAID’s recent Technology
Challenge for Atrocity Prevention funded both by Humanity United and
USAID, offers a prototype for how some of the challenges in atrocity
prevention can be

Ah yes, belated apologies for our delay in updating folks on the Kirstaeng
v. Wiley situation. I just emailed the blogger in question. We've been
digging out from work after the election (and of course Hurricane pause -
where I was stranded out of the country - oy!).

In any case, over 2,000 sites participated in the day of action, and we're
noticing a shift in the dialogue (see eg: google news search on "Kirstaeng
v. Wiley"). Here's an early article:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/29/kirtsaeng-v-john-wiley-and-sons_n_2039997.html?utm_hp_ref=technology&ir=Technology

We're optimistic we may win in court (decision around June), but either way
this will likely end up as an issue in Congress. We're already hearing
murmurs that industry lobbyists are setting up meetings on the Hill to
pitch their case to restrict consumers from being able to re-sell their
goods. Over the coming weeks and months, we'll be building out activities
to try and counter this effort and build awareness among ordinary Internet
users and members of Congress about the erosion of "First Sale."

Stay tuned & thanks again (sorry for the delay)!  Lots more info at:

Just one venue (tor-talk), which is why I am reluctant to continue
this discussion here, since subscribers to this list are often less
technical-minded, and less immune to the expected flamewars. In any
case, I am not claiming anything you imply about the Tor Project, I
just dislike the usual American mindset of wishful thinking and
ignoring the facts. Pretending that a project like this has no
conflicts of interest is an obvious example of such wishful thinking,
which is the reason I replied to Roger.

I don't actually have any objection to that. Technical points should
be technical, and who makes them is less important. I have encountered
a review including some coverage of Liberté Linux on a site that is
apparently some kind of venue for supporters of legitimizing
pedophilia, but didn't include it on the site, because it seemed like
partial translation of one of the everything-and-a-kitchen-sink howtos
that are floating around on Pastebin. Likewise, I don't need to find
excuses to not to add a desirable feature because it might be
misinterpreted by whoever brings politics into the project.

Reading this thread and corresponding Twitter comments, I don't
understand why anyone would take the dating remark as anything but
tongue-in-cheek. I am sure that his work can be very exciting (myself,
I still remember the thrill of writing a fully polymorphic virus as a
teenager), and not everyone needs appreciation from journalists or
their bored readers to feel accomplished. And I find it very hard to
believe that any sizable proportion of his acquaintances or dating
pool care about the details of the software that he produces or who is
it sold to.

It saddens me that someone who is clearly talented is so delusional, or puts a 
price on his personal life. 15% of the company, and hefty salary.

Either way, he seems to be the company fall-guy.

"Muench has put himself forward as Gamma’s point man on the issue, as Gamma’s 
controlling shareholders, the Nelsons, remain in the background. He says they 
act only as investors, providing money and customer contacts for FinFisher."

If I was an investigative journalist, I'd be doing a story on the "Nelson 
family". What kind of investors has links or contacts with oppressive regimes?

In fact, I don't want to know.

[liberationtech] SOPA Supporter Considered for Sec. of State

[Nadim Kobeissi]

The Los Angeles Times is reporting that Congressman Howard Berman is being
considered as the replacement for Hillary Clinton when she steps down as
Secretary of State in coming weeks:
http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-pn-berman-secretary-of-state-clinton-20121107,0,963486.story

Berman was a lead supporter of SOPA. His position as Secretary of State
could be a disaster.

I urge you to sign the petition against this nonsense:

Re: [liberationtech] B-Corps

[Lina Srivastava]

Are you talking about a B-Corp or a Benefit Corp? The first is a
certification, the second is a legal structure.

Before deciding,  you might want to take a look at this archived chat about
the benefits of B-Corps vs. L3Cs (another possible structure): (Terrible
structure to get through, but good info.):

[liberationtech] NASA DTN Protocol: Interplanetary Internet, How It Works, What LEGOS Have to To With It

[Eugen Leitl]

NASA DTN Protocol: Interplanetary Internet, How It Works, What LEGOS Have to
To With It

Author: Gina Smith

NASA is calling it the interplanetary Internet, and announcements have been
hitting in recent weeks regarding the sending of the first emails, voicemails
and, of late, news of an experiment that involved remote controlling of a
LEGO space robot with it. But what’s truly cool is the technology enabling it
— it’s a protocol called Delay-Tolerant Networking, better known as DTN.

At its heart is Vint Cerf’s Bundle Protocol (BP), a version of the IP
protocol he helped develop to pioneer the Internet decades ago.

In testing for several years, DTN got a major boost recently, says  Badri
Younes, a NASA administrator in Washington. Astronaut Sunita Williams — she
commanded the International Space Station’s current Expedition 33 mission —
used NASA’s experimental Disruption Tolerant Networking (DTN) protocol to
drive a small LEGO robot at the European Space Operations Center in Germany
late last month.

That was big news for the DTN and BP protocols, developed jointly by Internet
pioneer +Vint Cerf and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

In a nutshell — we’ll get down and dirty with the tech lower in the piece —
DTN allows a standard method of communication over long distances and through
time delays, agency officials said. Its centering tech is similar to the IP
protocol (that is the TCP/IP protocol) that is the building block of the
Internet we use on Earth. That’s called the Bundle Protocol (BP).

The big difference between BP and IP is that, while IP assumes a more or less
smooth pathway for packets going from start to end point, BP allows for
disconnections, glitches and other problems you see commonly in deep space,
Younes said. Basically, a BP network — the one that will the Interplanetary
Internet possible — moves data packets in bursts from node to node, so that
it can check when the next node is available or up.

“The demonstration (of the DTN controlled robot) showed the feasibility of
using a new communications infrastructure to send commands to a surface robot
from an orbiting spacecraft and receive images and data back from the robot,”
Younes said. “The experimental DTN we’ve tested from the space station may
one day be used by humans on a spacecraft in orbit around Mars to operate
robots on the surface, or from Earth using orbiting satellites as relay
stations,” Younes added.

Credit: European Space Agency

The first thing to understand is that the DTN testbed with BP driving it is
in active testing now, NASA says.

Its first successful test was in 2008, when NASA announced that early DTN
software for the first time enabled the transmission of more than a dozen of
space images to and from a NASA science spacecraft located about 20 million
miles (32M KM) from Earth. In a statement then, NASA’s Jet Propulsion
Laboratory and Google’s +Vint Cerf said it kicked off the Interplanetary
Internet. But what is DTN?

“The experimental DTN we’ve tested from the space station may one day be used
by humans on a spacecraft in orbit around Mars to operate robots on the
surface, or from Earth using orbiting satellites as relay stations,” Younes
added.

Source: NASA

In a nutshell, says NASA, “The Disruption Tolerant Networking (DTN) program
establishes a long-term, readily accessible communications test-bed onboard
the International Space Station (ISS). Two Commercial Generic Bioprocessing
Apparatus (CGBA), CGBA-5 and CGBA-4, will serve as communications test
computers that transmit messages between ISS and ground Mission Control
Centers. All data will be monitored and controlled at the BioServe remote
Payload Operations Control Center (POCC) located on the Engineering Center
premises at the University of Colorado – Boulder,” reps said today.

According to NASA’s Delay-Tolerant Networking Research Group (DTNRG), ”the
DTN protocol is under active development.”

An experiment using DTN to control the LEGO robot is in the news today, but
NASA says there are real world, military and consumer applications that
affect Internet users worldwide.

“In addition to network security, research goals for the DTN activity will
focus on testing and evolving important network services including naming and
addressing, time synchronization, routing, network management and class of
service,” NASA reps add, saying that “the DTN experiments on the
International Space Station (ISS) consist of software which is to be placed
on both Commercial Generic Bioprocessing Apparatus (CGBA), CGBA-4 and CGBA-5,
and then tested from a ground operations center.

What’s going on? Researchers explain “the DTN activity will focus on testing
and evolving important network services including naming and addressing, time
synchronization, routing, network management and class of service. The DTN

My own personal view is the worst thing about this is it won't actually add
transparency to any give Nation-State's policies/oppression and it's still
not going to stop the tide of attempted Nation-State Intranets.

So, at best, it's all the overhead with no benefit.

The global situation can evolve badly enough without this meddling. -Ali

[liberationtech] UN Body Wants Control over Internet Governance

[Nadim Kobeissi]

"Experts claim that political and religious websites could disappear if the
Federal Government backs a plan  to hand control over the internet to the
UN's International Telecommunications Union (ITU).

A draft of the proposal, formulated in secret and only recently posted on
the ITU website for public perusal, reveal that if accepted, the changes
would allow government restriction or blocking of information disseminated
via the internet and create a global regime of monitoring internet
communications - including the demand that those who send and receive

[liberationtech] New liberationtech list for events

[Yosem Companys]

Hi all,

I've been asked to create a new liberationtech list for events for there
are too many to announce regularly on the list.  Otherwise, the
announcements would crowd out discussion.  The new list shall be called
liberationtech-events.  I'll let everyone know when it's up and running.

Also, if you haven't run into it yet, we have a liberationtech-jobs list at
http://is.gd/LTjobs.
 As you know, we encourage list members to post job announcements there,
but it's fine if you post them here too from time to time.  We don't have
any hard rules on this stuff.

Best,

[liberationtech] [Freedombox-discuss] FreedomBox and Bitcoin (and the petition)

[Eugen Leitl]

- Forwarded message from Daniel Pocock  -

From: Daniel Pocock 
Date: Mon, 12 Nov 2012 09:32:00 +0100
To: freedombox list 
Subject: [Freedombox-discuss] FreedomBox and Bitcoin (and the petition)
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64;
rv:10.0.6esrpre) Gecko/20120817 Icedove/10.0.6



I'm just wondering if anybody has done any analysis of the suitability
of Bitcoin for FreedomBox?

For example, Bitcoin provides a certain amount of anonymity, but not
complete privacy.  In other words, anybody can create an anonymous
Bitcoin account, but anyone else can trace the movements of Bitcoins
through that account.  Does this lack of 100% privacy make it awkward
for FreedomBox to include Bitcoin?

What Bitcoin does excel at is providing an alternative money supply.  In
previous eras of bank failure (e.g. over 9,000 US banks went pop in the
1930s) people reverted to gold and silver.  Nowadays, so many of us are
involved in businesses that rely on ecommerce and distant clients paying
for virtual/intangible services.  Most trade relies on electronic
payment by bank transfer or credit card, not a physical meeting with
cash.  Iceland's banks went pop and it's been speculated that Greek
banks will go the same way when they leave the Euro.  It seems like
fertile ground for a solution like Bitcoin deployed on a convenient
platform like FreedomBox.

There is also the diversity of businesses supported by Bitcoin - it can
be very difficult for a business to start accepting credit card
payments, banks often insist that the business already has capital or
real estate.  But any start-up business can accept Bitcoin payment
without such discrimination.

Back to the original question though: do these potential social benefits
outweigh the lack of 100% privacy in Bitcoin?  Is there a `privacy
threshold' for something to be included in FreedomBox?

Also, somebody has started a petition to ask the ISO to provide a
three-letter symbol for Bitcoin (BTC is not officially recognised yet):

Great start. It remains to be seen if they'll open up the server side code. If
not then it can't be considered a great win - more akin to an API model such
that developers create custom clients for their closed and centralised service
(a la Google, Twitter, Facebook et al).
