"The US is dooming the future of the transatlantic data economy"
by J.C. DE MARTIN Jan. 17, 2018

Jan. 17, 2018

January 17, 2018 David Meyer *The US is dooming the future of the transatlantic data economy** * /WELCOME to Connected Rights, your bump on the fist of digital rights news and analysis./ THE NSA’S WARRANTLESS INTERNET SURVEILLANCE POWERS look set to continue with minimal changes, after privacy activists failed to derail a bill extending the program: http://reut.rs/2EMbmAz While the authorisation of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act – which allows US intelligence to spy on foreigners via Facebook and Google, and which incidentally scoops up loads of information about Americans too – is set to expire on Friday, the Senate narrowly voted on Tuesday to advance the bill that would renew the authorisation. The House of Representatives already voted last week, with a much wider margin, to do the same. For a brief moment last week, Donald Trump joined the ranks of those opposed to the six-year renewal, claiming that FISA might have been used by Barack Obama’s administration to spy on the Trump campaign. This contradicted the official White House line, which opposed any serious new constraints on the agencies’ surveillance powers – and that was the line that prevailed. THERE WILL BE CONSEQUENCES. The Privacy Shield data-transfer agreement between the EU and US is still the focus of scepticism among European privacy regulators, and top EU courts will have to rule on the legality – under EU fundamental rights – of other mechanisms that allow US firms to import European personal data.

Re: [nexa] online undercover investigative methods

>-------- Оригинално писмо -------- >От: Vladimir Obretenov astraliov(a)abv.bg >Относно: online undercover investigative methods >До: nexa(a)server-nexa.polito.it >Изпратено на: 17.01.2018 11:36 Dear colleagues, My colleague, Prof. Nicola Lugaresi told me that I may write to you if I have a question. I would like to compare the conducting of online undercover investigations in the European Member States. It is very difficult to obtain basic source materials for Italy. Could you please send me the bill on hacking as an undercover investigative method? Which are the substantive conditions for such a warrant? Is there mutual assistance provisions concerning the data transfer or other specific provisions? For example, is there a possibility for direct Cooperation with Foreign Service Providers? Could be used the proposed framework as a source of Inspiration for Future European Legal Instruments or improvements to networks? Thanks so much for your help! Kind regards, Vl.Obretenov

Russia says DIY drones that attacked its base in Syria came from a rebel village - The Washington Post
by Alberto Cammozzo Jan. 16, 2018

Jan. 16, 2018

Prepariamoci a vedere questi arnesi anche fuori da teatri bellici. <https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/russia-says-diy-drones-that-attacked-i…> [...] The fixed-wing drone resembled an oversize toy aircraft and appeared to have been cheaply assembled from a type of plywood, said Aaron Stein of the Washington-based Atlantic Council. The craft was attached to the kind of engines used to power lawn mowers and strapped with at least nine small rockets that could have been dropped from the drone or used to turn the craft into a bomb. It was unclear from the photographs how the drones were guided, but simple GPS devices could conceivably have been programmed to fly the planes over a long distance to reach the air base, using GPS coordinates available on the Internet, Stein said. “The drones look to me like a DIY project, and decidedly low-tech,” he said. The drones nonetheless represent the first time such a weapon has been used in Syria in this way. [...]

Justice Department Helped Washington State Prosecutor Target Facebook Records of Anti-Pipeline Activists
by Alberto Cammozzo Jan. 15, 2018

Jan. 15, 2018

<https://theintercept.com/2018/01/14/facebook-warrant-pipeline-protest-whatc…> Nine months after pipeline opponents in Washington state staged a protest that blocked freeway traffic, Facebook ended a protracted legal standoff with a county prosecutor, turning over detailed records on the indigenous-led group behind the demonstration. Despite the fact that no criminal charges have been filed in connection with the February action, Whatcom County Prosecuting Attorney David McEachran repeatedly sought a warrant for the group’s Facebook page, ultimately securing private information including messages to and from the page and a list of everyone “invited” to the protest event. [...] The DOJ’s intervention in the case makes it the latest example of the Trump administration’s direct involvement in law enforcement actions against protesters who allege they are being targeted for protected First Amendment activity: On the other side of the country, the DOJ is pursuing decades of prison time for protesters, journalists, medics, and legal advocates arrested during the anti-Trump “J20” demonstrations on Inauguration Day. In that case, too, the prosecution secured warrants for the Facebook page and website used to organize the protests. Now, Standing Rock-inspired activists in Whatcom County find themselves on the front lines of the battle over Americans’ right to anonymously organize with political groups. [...]
