Fwd: [ NNSquad ] NSA, FBI, the American People, and Double Secret Probation
by J.C. DE MARTIN
L'quilibrata riflessione di Lauren Weinstein su sorveglianza e dintorni.
juan carlos
-------- Original Message --------
Subject: [ NNSquad ] NSA, FBI, the American People, and Double Secret
Probation
Date: Mon, 22 Jul 2013 13:20:27 -0700
From: Lauren Weinstein <lauren(a)vortex.com>
To: nnsquad(a)nnsquad.org
NSA, FBI, the American People, and Double Secret Probation
http://lauren.vortex.com/archive/001061.html
Since the latest ramping up of concerns regarding the entire gamut of
issues surrounding the surveillance activities of USA law enforcement
and intelligence agencies (and by extension, similar activities
conducted by the equivalent agencies in other countries), untold
millions of words on these topics have been spoken and written,
including some thousands of my own.
And -- all over the world -- we can argue pretty much until the cows
come home about what was legal, what wasn't legal, how much government
leaders knew or should have known, and why members of the public paid
so little attention to laws openly passed that specifically authorized
such activities.
Here in the USA, public observers of the PATRIOT and Homeland Security
Acts should have been well aware of what FBI, NSA, and other agencies
were being ordered to do by Congress -- despite current dissembling by
some of those laws' authors. We warned of these programs at the time.
And odds are, most or all of these activities will ultimately be
declared legal by the courts.
It can be argued that one clear benefit of Edward Snowden's leaks was
to confirm in some detail (significantly diluted by various related
wildly hyperbolic claims and erroneous interpretations) that such
programs in one respect or another had actually been implemented and
deployed.
Yet this still doesn't get us to the heart of the matter, to the
foundational questions we must ask ourselves no matter what our
nationality and personal feelings about our own nation's intelligence
operations.
To really get there, we need to revisit a concept made famous in the
classic film "Animal House" from 1978 -- "double secret probation."
As the character of Dean Wormer explained -- freely paraphrased by
yours truly -- double secret probation is essentially the condition of
not even knowing that you are under suspicion, and that you are the
subject of continuing investigation outside the normal context of
traditional law enforcement activities.
Of course, Wormer was talking about a rather freewheeling fraternity,
not the American people in general. But the analogy still seems apt,
and is at the heart of our dilemma regarding government surveillance.
First, only an utter fool would argue that there is no need for any
surveillance in any context, given the real world of terrorism, black
market fissile materials, and all manner of other genuine threats.
Secondly, stipulating that actual threats do exist is by no means to
agree that every asserted threat being waved as an excuse for
surveillance is genuine or not overstated, especially given the vast
amounts of power and money deeply entangled with agencies' adversarial
claims.
And at the core of our attempts to harmonize these two realities is
our friend double secret probation.
For it is frequently not the existence of government surveillance per
se that is so problematic, it is the deployment of such surveillance
without the public being clearly and definitively aware that the
surveillance is taking place, rendering us impotent to fulfill our
oversight of government that makes all the difference between
democracy and tyranny.
Significantly, many of our government leaders have put themselves into
the role of Dean Wormer -- and placed their entire citizenry on
"double secret probation" -- not trusting the people to appropriately
judge the actual threats or to accede to a level of surveillance
activities that can be reasonably justified.
It is precisely this attitude -- again even more so than the actual
surveillance much of the time -- that is so unacceptable and insulting
to us all.
Once this attitude has taken hold, it tends to spread and permeate
legislators and other government officials, who become convinced that
only they are capable of making these decisions, that the people
cannot be trusted to even know what's in their own best interests.
So we see spectacles like major Internet firms begging for the right
to even explain in broad terms what sorts of information demands are
actually made of them by governments, and Kafkaesque legal arguments
by agencies attempting to prevent the public from gaining any
practical sense of the full extent to which telephone and Internet
systems are under metadata and/or content-based observation and data
collection.
Some hardcore surveillance proponents argue that more transparency in
these realms would compromise the efficacy of their information
gathering efforts. And they may be correct, to one extent or
another -- in various specific situations.
But simply being "correct" in this context is not enough. In fact,
all of government -- at least democratically oriented governments --
must ultimately be based on compromise (a fact apparently forgotten by
many participants, to be sure), and this means that even surveillance
based on seemingly laudable motives must take a back seat to the
people who are supposed to be driving this bus -- the public itself.
Appropriate transparency about surveillance doesn't mean revealing
deep operational details, but it does require making sure that the
public understands what is actually being done.
If you want to collect our telephone calls, Internet, and other
transactional metadata and/or content, then make your case -- we the
people will make the decisions. We're the ones who pay your salaries.
Your positions exist with our concurrence, not the other way around.
We are, frankly, at least as intelligent as you are.
And if the result of the transparency we demand is that you cannot
achieve quite the level of all-encompassing surveillance of which you
dream -- so be it.
In the name of democracy, and here in the USA the Constitution and
civil rights, you must come to terms with the fact that imperfection
in surveillance is part and parcel with the fundamental precepts of
our nation.
So to law enforcement, intelligence agencies, and Congress -- discuss
with us the kinds of surveillance you feel are genuinely needed.
Treat the American people as your partners, not as your adversaries or
village idiots.
If your arguments are valid, we'll back you to the hilt.
But we demand balance not banality, reasonable transparency not legal
trickery.
We're all in this together.
And with all due respect, to use the vernacular -- please stop jerking
us around.

la Giustizia Civile resiste alla digitalizzazione
by Simone Aliprandi
La Giustizia Civile resiste alla digitalizzazione. Usciremo mai dal medioevo?
L’Italia è quel paese in cui sono in vigore leggi totalmente obsolete
e fuori dal tempo, che nessuno pensa ad abrogare; quando invece si
fanno delle norme davvero innovative, queste restano solo sulla carta
e vengono bellamente ignorate dai loro destinatari. E se i loro
destinatari si chiamano giudici, cancellieri e avvocati
(particolarmente abili e avvezzi a “giocare” con l'interpretazione
delle norme), possiamo immaginare quanto sia ...

partners wanted for an open source development
by Laboratorio Eudemonia
The Patchwork Model
----------------------------
partners wanted to develop
an open source project
for on line deliberation
One of the wonders of life is that every person has, according to his present position and history, a vision of things different from any other. This diversity has always been considered a problem by the Power, which has always sought to override rather than to take advantage of this wealth of perceptions.
Internet, however, is definitely upsetting the plans of the homologators, by providing everyone with all kinds of means to express themselves. Thanks to the Internet we can start to think we can build a base of harmony that benefit, rather than erase, of the different situation and sensitivity referred to every person.
To this end, much remains to be done, the current systems of proposition, discussion and deliberation of laws/rules that are online being still lacking in the expression of the individual personalities. What is missing is a virtual place that makes communicate them without want to hastily reach an overpowering majority.
"The Patchwork Model" is a system designed an impressive nine years ago that, because of its delicate approach to the opinion of every one, because of its ability to bring out the personal power, has been ignored by the thousand political cliques, lobbies and mafias and still it has not become an active service.
Anyone, amateur or professional politician who get close to the telematic systems designed to make "democracy", looks after only to scrape up a majority that support his will, coming to invoke the zeroing of the quorum when the longed goat mass doesn't succeed to get space with its own horns.
I come back then to propose the project hoping we can form a group for its open source development:
http://www.hyperlinker.com/patchwork/index.htm
Here I report the files of a little (working) part of the complete system:
http://www.hyperlinker.com/patchwork/a&b_440718.rar
that I wrote with an elementary PHP.
I am not able to go on for my inadequacies.
Therefore I launch now the ball to your ground.

Why the EU Commission's True Intent is to Kill Net Neutrality
*** Paris, 19 July 2013 — Since last week, after citizen groups started
criticizing the EU Commission over its leaked draft regulation
threatening to kill Net neutrality, Commissioner Neelie Kroes and her
staff have tried to defend their proposal on Twitter, arguing that these
criticisms were “misleading European citizens”. Here is a summary of
what was said, not said, and how it reveals that these criticisms are
absolutely right:

Background“Network neutrality” is an appealing and multifaceted expression which encompassesseveral areas and may give rise to misinterpretations. At its core, the notion of networkneutrality determines the extent to which Internet traffic management practices may beregarded as legitimate, insofar as they do not qualify as discriminatory practices and theyare consistent with the full enjoyment of human rights. Yet, throughout the last decade,this polysemous formula has acquired different meanings, invading the province oftelecommunications, content and security regulation.The network neutrality debate is gaining great political momentum. Indeed, manylegislators are currently scrutinizing the opportunity of elaborating and adoptinglegislation on network neutrality. While everyone agrees that end-users’ fundamentalrights have to be safeguarded, the question remains as to how this end could be achieved,and what are the consequences (if any) of network-management practices on such rights.
CallThe Dynamic Coalition on Network Neutrality, created under the auspices of the UnitedNations Internet Governance Forum, invites researchers and practitioners to submit aposition paper on the issue of net neutrality and human rights. Position papers shouldprovide relevant background information together with one or more propositions on howto preserve fundamental human rights (such as the right to privacy or freedom ofexpression) on the Internet of tomorrow.Suggested topics include, inter alia:Implementation of the network neutrality principle:• How to approach network neutrality? Regulation or co-regulation?• Is fair competition a sufficient safeguard for fundamental rights?• Can current examples of network-neutrality legislation be deemed as efficient?• Is there a difference between “open Internet” and “neutral Internet”?Impact of network neutrality on human rights:• Analysis of network neutrality case-law: Current violations of the network neutralityprinciple and their impact on human rights• How to reconcile anti-network neutrality arguments with the protection of humanrights?• From gateways to gatekeepers: assessing the role of ISPs with regard to access toinformation.• Network neutrality and global access to the Internet: a “digital divide” issue• Digital democracy: the impact of network neutrality regulation on civic participation• Benefits and risks of Deep Packet Inspection as an Internet traffic managementtechniques NeutralityInternational trends and policy recommendations for the Internet of tomorrow
Submission Guidelines:Submissions are due on September 15th, 2013. They should include the followingelements:- Title- Short abstract (250 words)- Position paper (between 3000 and 6000 words)- Author’s name, affiliation and short bibliographical noteSubmissions should be sent to contact(a)networkneutrality.info Authors will be notified within approximately two weeks from the deadline as to the statusof their contributions.

TNW: "With 8PB synced already, BitTorrent launches Sync beta with versioning, one-way syncing, and an Android app"
by J.C. DE MARTIN
*With 8PB synced already, BitTorrent launches Sync beta with versioning,
one-way syncing, and an Android app*
by Emil Protalinski <http://thenextweb.com/author/emilprotalinski/>
BitTorrent today announced the open beta release of its file
synchronization tool Sync, and the debut of an Android app. You can
download the latest version now for Windows, Mac, and Linux over at
labs.bittorrent.com as well as for Android from Google Play.
The biggest addition in the beta is an archive capability for retrieving
previous versions of synced files. Called SyncArchive, the feature is
basic versioning brought to the BitTorrent world: the tool now includes
a folder where you can see (and search for) all previous versions of
your files.
BitTorrent says this was one of two most requested features from its
alpha users. The other was mobile apps. In fact, we were expecting both
when we wrote about the last alpha release, so neither is a big surprise.

In occasione del 13° Nexa Lunch Seminar, che si svolgerà mercoledì 24
luglio dalle ore 13 alle ore 14 presso il Centro Nexa su Internet &
Società, *Luca Gioppo*, /technical leader/ presso Csi-Piemonte
<http://www.csipiemonte.it/>, illustrerà il funzionamento della
piattaforma cloud Open-DAI <http://www.open-dai.eu/>, frutto di un
progetto europeo in cui sono coinvolti 11 partner (provenienti da
Italia, Spagna, Svezia e Turchia), che intende fornire servizi di
accesso ai dati della pubblica amministrazione (PA), sulla base delle
potenziali applicazioni che imprenditori, programmatori, cittadini o le
stesse amministrazioni intendono sviluppare. Nel dettaglio Gioppo
mostrerà come "trasformare" il dataset delle alberate della Città di
Torino
<http://www.comune.torino.it/aperto/dati/territorio/ambiente/alberate-anno-2…>
in un servizio API e spiegherà l'utilità di componenti come Teiid
<http://www.jboss.org/teiid/> per attività di /hacking/.
L'incontro costituirà un'*occasione di confronto tra differenti
/stakeholder/* che possano fornire spunti e idee sulle effettive
possibilità di utilizzo della piattaforma e su dataset interessanti da
poter sfruttare. Sulla base dei suggerimenti emersi durante il
dibattito, verranno individuate, oltre a quelle proposte in seguito,
alcune *"tracce" che metteranno le basi per l'hackathon distribuito che
avrà luogo a Torino e ad Alessandria sabato 27 luglio 2013*.
Per l'hackathon di Torino, uno dei temi individuati è quello del
turismo: si potranno utilizzare i dataset pubblicati sul portale
dati.piemonte.it <http://dati.piemonte.it/> della Regione Piemonte
relativi ai musei
<http://www.dati.piemonte.it/catalogodati/dato/100439-100439-musei-regione-p…>
e alle strutture ricettive piemontesi
<http://www.dati.piemonte.it/catalogodati/dato/1365-%20ricettivit%C3%A0-turi…>.
Oltre alla piattaforma Open-DAI, si potranno sfruttare i servizi
<http://www.museotorino.it/api> messi a disposizione da MuseoTorino
<http://www.museotorino.it/> e le API del software TellMeFirst
<http://tellmefirst.polito.it/>, che consente di classificare e
arricchire documenti testuali con nuovi contenuti multimediali.
L'hackathon di Alessandria darà l'occasione di ragionare sui dati
relativi al bilancio della Regione Piemonte (rendiconto dell'esercizio
finanziario
<http://www.dati.piemonte.it/catalogodati/dato/100613-rendiconto-dell-eserci…>
e capitoli di spesa
<http://www.dati.piemonte.it/catalogodati/dato/100614-capitoli-di-spesa-per-…>),
sviluppando applicazioni e visualizzazioni interessanti a riguardo.
Entrambi gli hackathon si svolgeranno dalle 11 alle 19 e a fine giornata
verranno mostrati e discussi i risultati ottenuti: i lavori più
interessanti verranno presentati in occasione del 14° Nexa Lunch Seminar
<http://nexa.polito.it/lunch-14> che si terrà mercoledì 24 settembre 2013.
L'hackathon di Torino è organizzato dal Centro Nexa su Internet &
Società del Politecnico di Torino <http://nexa.polito.it/> con il
supporto del Consorzio Top-IX <http://www.top-ix.org/> e di ToolBox
Office <http://www.toolboxoffice.it/>. L'hackathon di Alessandria è
organizzato da PHP User Group Alessandria
<http://alessandria.grusp.org/> con il supporto di Lab121
<http://www.lab121.org/index.asp>.
