distrust of online media
by gianluca Dec. 20, 2013

Dec. 20, 2013

A handwritten poster by a South Korean student highlighting issues such as redundancy and suicide has sparked a nationwide protest movement, reports suggest. The poster was put up by Ju Hyun-woo on 10 December on a notice board at Korea University. "I just want to ask everybody. How are you all doing? Is it OK for you to ignore social issues since it is not your business?"the Korea Times quotes the poster as saying <http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/nation/2013/12/116_148082.html>. Within a week, more than 30 posters reportedly went up next to it, saying: "We are not doing well." The posters, which often contain many lines of text, quickly spread to other campuses and have become "a nationwide phenomenon spanning generational, regional and class divides",says The Hankyoreh daily newspaper <http://english.hani.co.kr/arti/english_edition/e_national/615717.html>. High school students have apparently picked up the baton, putting pen to paper to criticise the political situation or to raise educational issues. One pundit suggests the protest poster movement has been fuelled by distrust of online media after allegations that the country's intelligence agency has waged an internet campaign against opposition parties. "Since citizens sense that the online space by itself is no longer enough, they are once again attempting the analogue method of communication through these hand-written posters," says Kim Min-ha. continua qui http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-news-from-elsewhere-25450218 qgl

CEPS: "Net Neutrality and Mandatory Network-Sharing: How to disconnect the continent"
by J.C. DE MARTIN Dec. 19, 2013

*Net Neutrality and Mandatory Network-Sharing: How to disconnect the continent* Author: Andrea Renda In: CEPS Policy Briefs Date: 18 December 2013 http://ceps.be/book/net-neutrality-and-mandatory-network-sharing-how-discon… A lively debate emerged on the proposed "Connected Continent" legislative package presented by the European Commission in September 2013. The package contains a proposed rule on the 'open Internet', which was heavily discussed in European Parliament hearings in early December. This commentary argues that while the proposed rule is in principle balanced and appealing, it is utterly impractical due to the enormous uncertainty that its application would entail. At the same time, the rule is very far from what neutrality proponents have argued for almost a decade: rather than the place for internet freedom, it would transform the Web into a place requiring constant micro-management and tutoring of user behaviour. Both arguments lead to the conclusion that the current proposal should be at once reformed and analysed under a more holistic lens. On the one hand, Europe should launch an ambitious project for the future, converged infrastructure by mobilising resources and reforming rules to encourage investment into ubiquitous, converged, 'always on' connectivity. On the other hand, enhanced legal certainty for broadband investment could justify a more neutrality-oriented approach to traffic management practices on the Internet. The author proposes a new approach to Internet regulation which, altogether, will lead to a more balanced and sustainable model for the future, without jeopardising user freedom.

NYT Editorial: "Turn Off the Data Vacuum"
by J.C. DE MARTIN Dec. 19, 2013

Dec. 19, 2013

December 18, 2013 Turn Off the Data Vacuum By THE EDITORIAL BOARD <http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/opinion/editorialboard.html> In the days after one of the biggest national security leaks in United States history revealed the existence of vast, largely unchecked government surveillance programs <http://www.nytimes.com/2013/12/15/us/officials-say-us-may-never-know-extent…>, President Obama said he would "welcome" <http://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/08/us/obamas-remarks-on-health-care-and-surv…> a robust national debate over the appropriate balance between protecting national security and respecting individual privacy and civil liberties. The answer has now landed squarely on Mr. Obama's desk, with therelease late Wednesday afternoon <http://www.nytimes.com/2013/12/19/us/politics/report-on-nsa-surveillance-ta…> of a remarkably thorough and well-reasoned report <http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2013/12/19/us/politics/19nsa-review.html> calling on the government to end its bulk phone-data collection program and to increase both the transparency and accountability of surveillance programs going forward. The 300-plus-page report was written by a five-member advisory panel of intelligence and legal experts that was commissioned by the president himself and made 46 recommendations for reform. The recommendations demonstrate how far afield the National Security Agency has wandered in its zeal to vacuum up the phone and Internet data of virtually every American, not to mention world leaders and other non-American citizens. They also show the lack of regard for the Constitution that has led those efforts, and the virtual absence of supervision and restraint by Mr. Obama and his predecessor, President George W. Bush.

Report and Recommendations of The President’s Review Group on Intelligence and Communications Technologies
by Andrea Glorioso Dec. 18, 2013

Dec. 18, 2013

Report and Recommendations of The President’s Review Group on Intelligence and Communications Technologies http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/docs/2013-12-12_rg_final_repo… On August 27, 2013, the President announced the creation of the Review Group on Intelligence and Communications Technologies. The immediate backdrop for our work was a series of disclosures of classified information involving foreign intelligence collection by the National Security Agency. The disclosures revealed intercepted collections that occurred inside and outside of the United States and that included the communications of United States persons and legal permanent residents, as well as non-United States persons located outside the United States. Although these disclosures and the responses and concerns of many people in the United States and abroad have informed this Report, we have focused more broadly on the creation of sturdy foundations for the future, safeguarding (as our title suggests) liberty and security in a rapidly changing world. Those rapid changes include unprecedented advances in information and communications technologies; increased globalization of trade, investment, and information flows; and fluid national security threats against which the American public rightly expects its government to provide protection. With this larger context in mind, we have been mindful of significant recent changes in the environment in which intelligence collection takes place. For example, traditional distinctions between “foreign” and “domestic” are far less clear today than in the past, now that the same communications devices, software, and networks are used globally by friends and foes alike. These changes, as well as changes in the nature of the threats we face, have implications for the right of privacy, our strategic relationships with other nations, and the levels of innovation and information-sharing that underpin key elements of the global economy. In addressing these issues, the United States must pursue multiple and often competing goals at home and abroad. In facing these challenges, the United States must take into account the full range of interests and values that it is pursuing, and it must communicate these goals to the American public and to key international audiences. These goals include: Protecting The Nation Against Threats to Our National Security. The ability of the United States to combat threats from state rivals, terrorists, and weapons proliferators depends on the acquisition of foreign intelligence information from a broad range of sources and through a variety of methods. In an era increasingly dominated by technological advances in communications technologies, the United States must continue to collect signals intelligence globally in order to assure the safety of our citizens at home and abroad and to help protect the safety of our friends, our allies, and the many nations with whom we have cooperative relationships. Promoting Other National Security and Foreign Policy Interests. Intelligence is designed not only to protect against threats but also to safeguard a wide range of national security and foreign policy interests, including counterintelligence, counteracting the international elements of organized crime, and preventing drug trafficking, human trafficking, and mass atrocities. Protecting the Right to Privacy. The right to privacy is essential to a free and self-governing society. The rise of modern technologies makes it all the more important that democratic nations respect people’s fundamental right to privacy, which is a defining part of individual security and personal liberty. Protecting Democracy, Civil Liberties, and the Rule of Law. Free debate within the United States is essential to the long-term vitality of American democracy and helps bolster democracy globally. Excessive surveillance and unjustified secrecy can threaten civil liberties, public trust, and the core processes of democratic self-government. All parts of the government, including those that protect our national security, must be subject to the rule of law. Promoting Prosperity, Security, and Openness in a Networked World. The United States must adopt and sustain policies that support technological innovation and collaboration both at home and abroad. Such policies are central to economic growth, which is promoted in turn by economic freedom and spurring entrepreneurship. For this reason, the United States must continue to establish and strengthen international norms of Internet freedom and security. Protecting Strategic Alliances. The collection of intelligence must be undertaken in a way that preserves and strengthens our strategic relationships. We must be respectful of those relationships and of the leaders and citizens of other nations, especially those with whom we share interests, values, or both. The collection of intelligence should be undertaken in a way that recognizes the importance of cooperative relationships with other nations and that respects the legitimate privacy interests and the dignity of those outside our borders. The challenge of managing these often competing goals is daunting. But it is a challenge that the nation must meet if it is to live up to its promises to its citizens and to posterity. -- -- I speak only for myself. Sometimes I do not even agree with myself.
