Neubot 0.4.9 released

by Simone Basso

Neubot/0.4.9 released http://www.neubot.org/neubot-0.4.9 Version 0.4.9 is the latest generally-available stable release of Neubot, distributed for Ubuntu >= 10.04, MacOSX >= 10.6, Windows >= XP SP3 and FreeBSD, as well as in source format. If you have already installed Neubot for Ubuntu, MacOSX or FreeBSD, it should update automatically, and we just kindly ask you to verify that this is the case. As a rule of thumb, if it has not updated after a couple of weeks, that is probably a bug and you should report it. Neubot for Windows, instead, needs manual intervention and you can find instructions here: http://www.neubot.org/install-windows#upgrade Instructions for installing from scratch are available here: http://www.neubot.org/download This release contains 142 commits. The diffstat says: 73 changed files with 3,562 additions and 1,025 deletions. Here are the most relevant changes: - MacOS: keep neubot directory clean This commit teaches Neubot updater to periodically check whether the base directory (/usr/local/share/neubot) contains old releases files and directories. If so, old files and directories are removed. https://github.com/neubot/neubot/commit/18cf09e Requested by Alessio Palmero Aprosio some time ago. - www: add latency plots This commit adds latency plots to Neubot Web User Interface, both for speedtest and bittorrent. https://github.com/neubot/neubot/commit/0a523988 Suggested by Francesco Corazza, written by Alessio Palmero Aprosio. - www: less annoying win32 browser notifications This commit makes sure that Neubot does not open the Web User Interface in the default browser more than once per day per type of notification. This means that, for example, you will be notified at most once per day when a new version is available on our servers. https://github.com/neubot/neubot/commit/f0bef78b Reported and prodded by many. - doc/FAQ.rst doc/FAQ-it.rst import and revamp A couple of commits have imported the website faq into the sources tree, allowing for better maintenance. Now the faq is written in restructured text and the html on the web is automatically generated. After the import, both FAQs have been revamped and updated significantly. https://github.com/neubot/neubot/commit/843247c7 https://github.com/neubot/neubot/commit/1badc97d - Revamped manpage The manual page has been revamped and updated as well. https://github.com/neubot/neubot/commit/4e154a2a - Bug fixes Since Neubot 0.4.6, I've started collecting know bugs information at: https://github.com/neubot/neubot/wiki/errata Here is the list of bugs that have been fixed since the previous release, along with the link to the relevant commit: - Make sure that the Web API always returns sorted keys to the Web User Interface. Fixes settings keys being not properly sorted in settings.html. https://github.com/neubot/neubot/commit/7b3a9689 - More code rationalizations, cleanups and regression tests.

Re: [nexa] "THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY IS SEARCHING YOUR FACEBOOK AND TWITTER FOR THESE WORDS"

by Luca Belli

Per chi fosse interessato, qualche settimana fa avevo abbordato la questione riferendomi a Twitter in un breve articolo su Medialaws... [...]Another interesting episode recently involved Twitter in an indirect way. Indeed, a bizarre accident shed light on the nature of tweets and on the limits to freedom of expression that one has to take into consideration.The unfortunate event involved a couple of Irish tourists who were stopped and handcuffed at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) because of their “suspicious” tweets. Indeed, as many other social networks, Twitter is monitored by a considerable number of U.S. special agents that were – probably disproportionately – alerted when they figured out that Mr. Leigh Van Bryan, an Irishman, was tweeting:“Free this week, for quick gossip/prep before I go and destroy America” [....] http://www.medialaws.eu/to-tweet-or-not-to-tweet-that-is-the-question/ Buona lettura e buona giornata!

That document happens to include a list of the baseline terms for which the DHS–or more specifically, a DHS subcontractor hired to monitor social networks–use to generate real-time IOI reports. (Although the released PDF is generally all reader-selectable text, the list of names was curiously embedded as an image of text, preventing simple indexing. We’ve fixed that below.)

Berkman Center Webcast live oggi ore 18.30 - Online Consultation and Democratic Information Flow

by Giuseppe Futia

*Online Consultation and Democratic Information Flow* ** ** http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/events/luncheon/2012/02/shane *Peter M. Shane*, J*acob E. Davis and Jacob E. Davis II Chair in Law at the Ohio State University's Moritz College of Law & Visiting Professor of Law at Harvard Law School* Today, 6.30 pm Webcast live: http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/interactive/webcast http://nexa.polito.it/berkman-webcast-live The use of new media by governments around the world to engage the general public more directly in actual policy making raises significant questions of democratic theory and practice. Visiting Professor Peter M. Shane, the Jacob E. Davis and Jacob E. Davis II Chair in Law at Ohio State University, will discuss his ongoing research on two of these questions: Under what circumstances might online consultation actually make democratic participation more meaningful? What role could the regular availability of online consultation play in engineering an information and communication ecology more genuinely supportive of democratic information flow? *About Peter* Peter M. Shane is the Jacob E. Davis and Jacob E. Davis II Chair in Law at the Ohio State University's Moritz College of Law. A graduate of Harvard College and Yale Law School, Professor Shane clerked for the Hon. Alvin B. Rubin of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. He served as an attorney-adviser in the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Legal Counsel and as an assistant general counsel in the Office of Management and Budget, before entering full-time teaching in 1981 at the University of Iowa. Professor Shane was dean of the University of Pittsburgh School of Law from 1994-1998, and Distinguished Service Professor of Law and Public Policy at Carnegie Mellon University's H. John Heinz III School of Public Policy and Management (now, Heinz College) from 2000-2003. His public service activities include positions as a Public Member of the Administrative Conference of the United States, as International Trade Commission agency team lead for the Obama-Biden Transition Project, and as a consultant to the Federal Communications Commission. In 2008-09, he served as executive director to the Knight Commission on the Information Needs of Communities in a Democracy, and was the lead drafter of its report, Informing Communities: Sustaining Democracy in the Digital Age (2009). Professor Shane has been a visiting faculty member at the Boston College, Duke and Villanova Law Schools, and inaugurated the Visiting Foreign Chair for the University of Ghent Program in Foreign and Comparative Law in 2001.
