The Westminster Declaration (on the "Censorship Industrial Complex"). [CDT:L7]
by 380° Oct. 18, 2023

Oct. 18, 2023

Buongiorno, ...perché purtroppo sì: tocca /ancora/ ribadire l'ovvio. «“free” as in “free speech,” not as in “free beer.” » (https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.en.html) https://www.severint.net/2023/10/18/dokumentiert-the-westminster-declaratio… --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- We write as journalists, artists, authors, activists, technologists, and academics to warn of increasing international censorship that threatens to erode centuries-old democratic norms. Coming from the left, right, and centre, we are united by our commitment to universal human rights and freedom of speech, and we are all deeply concerned about attempts to label protected speech as ‘misinformation,' ‘disinformation,' and other ill-defined terms. This abuse of these terms has resulted in the censorship of ordinary people, journalists, and dissidents in countries all over the world. Such interference with the right to free speech suppresses valid discussion about matters of urgent public interest, and undermines the foundational principles of representative democracy. Across the globe, government actors, social media companies, universities, and NGOs are increasingly working to monitor citizens and rob them of their voices. These large-scale coordinated efforts are sometimes referred to as the ‘Censorship-Industrial Complex.' This complex often operates through direct government policies. [Authorities in India] and [Turkey] have seized the power to remove political content from social media. The [legislature in Germany] and the [Supreme Court in Brazil] are criminalising political speech. In other countries, measures such as [Ireland's ‘Hate Speech' Bill], [Scotland's Hate Crime Act], the [UK's Online Safety Bill], and [Australia's ‘Misinformation' Bill] threaten to severely restrict expression and create a chilling effect. But the Censorship Industrial Complex operates through more subtle methods. These include visibility filtering, labelling, and manipulation of search engine results. Through deplatforming and flagging, social media censors have already silenced lawful opinions on topics of national and geopolitical importance. They have done so with the full support of ‘disinformation experts' and ‘fact-checkers' in the mainstream media, who have abandoned the journalistic values of debate and intellectual inquiry. As the Twitter Files revealed, tech companies often perform censorial ‘content moderation' in coordination with government agencies and civil society. Soon, the European Union's Digital Services Act will formalise this relationship by giving platform data to ‘vetted researchers' from NGOs and academia, relegating our speech rights to the discretion of these unelected and unaccountable entities. Some [politicians and NGOs] are even aiming to target end-to-end encrypted messaging apps like [WhatsApp, Signal, and Telegram]. If end-to-end encryption is broken, we will have no remaining avenues for authentic private conversations in the digital sphere. Although foreign disinformation between states is a real issue, agencies designed to combat these threats, such as the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency in the United States, are increasingly being turned inward against the public. Under the guise of preventing harm and protecting truth, speech is being treated as a permitted activity rather than an inalienable right. We recognize that words can sometimes cause offence, but we reject the idea that hurt feelings and discomfort, even if acute, are grounds for censorship. Open discourse is the central pillar of a free society, and is essential for holding governments accountable, empowering vulnerable groups, and reducing the risk of tyranny. Speech protections are not just for views we agree with; we must strenuously protect speech for the views that we most strongly oppose. Only in the public square can these views be heard and properly challenged. What's more, time and time again, unpopular opinions and ideas have eventually become conventional wisdom. By labelling certain political or scientific positions as ‚misinformation‘ or ‚malinformation,‘ our societies risk getting stuck in false paradigms that will rob humanity of hard-earned knowledge and obliterate the possibility of gaining new knowledge. Free speech is our best defence against disinformation. The attack on speech is not just about distorted rules and regulations – it is a crisis of humanity itself. Every equality and justice campaign in history has relied on an open forum to voice dissent. In countless examples, including the abolition of slavery and the civil rights movement, social progress has depended on freedom of expression. We do not want our children to grow up in a world where they live in fear of speaking their minds. We want them to grow up in a world where their ideas can be expressed, explored and debated openly – a world that the founders of our democracies envisioned when they enshrined free speech into our laws and constitutions. The US First Amendment is a strong example of how the right to freedom of speech, of the press, and of conscience can be firmly protected under the law. One need not agree with the U.S. on every issue to acknowledge that this is a vital ‚first liberty‘ from which all other liberties follow. It is only through free speech that we can denounce violations of our rights and fight for new freedoms. There also exists a clear and robust international protection for free speech. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) was drafted in 1948 in response to atrocities committed during World War II. Article 19 of the UDHR states, ‚Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.‘ While there may be a need for governments to regulate some aspects of social media, such as age limits, these regulations should never infringe on the human right to freedom of expression. As is made clear by Article 19, the corollary of the right to free speech is the right to information. In a democracy, no one has a monopoly over what is considered to be true. Rather, truth must be discovered through dialogue and debate – and we cannot discover truth without allowing for the possibility of error. Censorship in the name of ‚preserving democracy‘ inverts what should be a bottom-up system of representation into a top-down system of ideological control. This censorship is ultimately counter-productive: it sows mistrust, encourages radicalization, and de-legitimizes the democratic process. In the course of human history, attacks on free speech have been a precursor to attacks on all other liberties. Regimes that eroded free speech have always inevitably weakened and damaged other core democratic structures. In the same fashion, the elites that push for censorship today are also undermining democracy. What has changed though, is the broad scale and technological tools through which censorship can be enacted. We believe that free speech is essential for ensuring our safety from state abuses of power – abuses that have historically posed a far greater threat than the words of lone individuals or even organised groups. For the sake of human welfare and flourishing, we make the following 3 calls to action. • We call on governments and international organisations to fulfill their responsibilities to the people and to uphold Article 19 of the UDHR. • We call on tech corporations to undertake to protect the digital public square as defined in Article 19 of the UDHR and refrain from politically motivated censorship, the censorship of dissenting voices, and censorship of political opinion. • And finally, we call on the general public to join us in the fight to preserve the people's democratic rights. Legislative changes are not enough. We must also build an atmosphere of free speech from the ground up by rejecting the climate of intolerance that encourages self-censorship and that creates unnecessary personal strife for many. Instead of fear and dogmatism, we must embrace inquiry and debate. We stand for your right to ask questions. Heated arguments, even those that may cause distress, are far better than no arguments at all. Censorship robs us of the richness of life itself. Free speech is the foundation for creating a life of meaning and a thriving humanity – through art, poetry, drama, story, philosophy, song, and more. This declaration was the result of an initial meeting of free speech champions from around the world who met in Westminster, London, at the end of June 2023. As signatories of this statement, we have fundamental political and ideological disagreements. However, it is only by coming together that we will defeat the encroaching forces of censorship so that we can maintain our ability to openly debate and challenge one another. It is in the spirit of difference and debate that we sign the Westminster Declaration.

"Why only 1% of the Snowden Archive will ever be published"
by J.C. DE MARTIN Oct. 17, 2023

Oct. 17, 2023

*Why only 1% of the Snowden Archive will ever be published * /Speaking to Computer Weekly after we published new revelations from the Snowden archive, the Guardian’s Pulitzer Prize winner, Ewen MacAskill, explains why more of the Snowden trove is unlikely to see the light of day/ By Stefania Maurizi Published: 11 Oct 2023 10:30 Some 10 years after he flew to Hong Kong to meet Edward Snowden with Glenn Greenwald and Laura Poitras, The Guardian’s Pulitzer Prize winner, Ewen MacAskill, talks to Computer Weekly about the Snowden files. MacAskill was speaking after Computer Weekly revealed the first new facts to emerge from the Snowden files since the archive first made headlines in 2013. The three new revelations have surfaced for the first time only thanks to a highly technical publication: a doctoral thesis authored by US investigative journalist and postdoctoral researcher Jacob Appelbaum, as part of his degree in applied cryptography from the Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands. Their publication by Computer Weekly has revived the debate as to why the entire Snowden archive has never been published, considering that even after a decade the three revelations remain indisputably in the public interest, and it is reasonable to assume there are many others like them. MacAskill, who shared the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service with Glenn Greenwald and Laura Poitras for their journalistic work on the Snowden files, retired from The Guardian in 2018. He told Computer Weekly that: * As far as he knows, a copy of the documents is still locked in the New York Times office. Although the files are in the New York Times office, The Guardian retains responsibility for them. * As to why the New York Times has not published them in a decade, MacAskill maintains “this is a complicated issue”. “There is, at the very least, a case to be made for keeping them for future generations of historians,” he said. * Why was only 1% of the Snowden archive published by the journalists who had full access to it? Ewen MacAskill replied: “The main reason for only a small percentage – though, given the mass of documents, 1% is still a lot – was diminishing interest.” The Snowden archive allows exposing and documenting the rise of the mass-surveillance state, a serious threat to democracy. Have the journalists and media with access to the full archive done everything they can to expose this threat? That is the crux of the matter, because even in a democracy bad people can be elected who could use such unprecedented Orwellian control to crush any opposition. Legendary Pentagon Papers whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg said: “As Snowden has put it, we’re a ‘turnkey tyranny’: in other words, turn a switch, and we could be a total police state.” [...] continua qui: https://www.computerweekly.com/news/366554957/Why-only-1-of-the-Snowden-Arc…

Doctorow, "Why Big Tech, Cops, and Spies Were Made for One Another"
by J.C. DE MARTIN Oct. 16, 2023

Oct. 16, 2023

*Why Big Tech, Cops, and Spies Were Made for One Another * /The American surveillance state is a public-private partnership. / Cory Doctorow (16 dicembre 2023) /(Cory Doctorow’s latest book is “The Internet Con: How to Seize the Means of Computation.”)/ The techlash has finally reached the courts. Amazon’s in court. Google’s in court. Apple’s under EU investigation. The French authorities just kicked down Nvidia’s doors and went through their files looking for evidence of crimes against competition. People are pissed at tech: about moderation, about monopolization, about price gouging, about labor abuses, and — everywhere and always — about privacy. From experience, I can tell you that Silicon Valley techies are pretty sanguine about commercial surveillance: “Why should I care if Google wants to show me better ads?” But they are much less cool about government spying: “The NSA? Those are the losers who weren’t smart enough to get an interview at Google.” And likewise from experience, I can tell you that government employees and contractors are pretty cool with state surveillance: “Why would I worry about the NSA spying on me? I already gave the Office of Personnel Management a comprehensive dossier of all possible kompromat in my past when I got my security clearance.” But they are far less cool with commercial surveillance: “Google? Those creeps would sell their mothers for a nickel. To the Chinese.” What are they both missing? That American surveillance is a public-private partnership: a symbiosis between a concentrated tech sector that has the means, motive, and opportunity to spy on every person in the world and a state that loves surveillance as much as it hates checks and balances. Big Tech, cops, and surveillance agencies were made for one another. [...] continua qui: https://theintercept.com/2023/10/16/surveillance-state-big-tech/

Re: [nexa] 4M€: pochi? Tanti? dettagli, please....

L’ho detto perché sono pochi: l’obiettivo del progetto è di produrre sostanzialmente due cose: 1. Una raccolta di testi per l’apprendimento di LLM 2. Centinaia (100s) di modelli allenati (anche se il GANTT ne indica solo uno da completare in 18 mesi, anche se il dataset sarà disponibile dopo 12!) Il costo di allenare un LLM come GPT è stimato intorno ai $100 milioni. Fai il conto tu di quanti se ne possono allenare con 4 milioni (costo totale, non contributo UE). 4 milioni su tre anni per 8 partner fa 166.000€ a testa, sufficienti a pagare circa 3 ricercatori a partner. La lista dei contributori a GPT-4 ha oltre 300 firme: https://openai.com/contributions/gpt-4 La scala è quella dei progetti del CERN. — Beppe > On 16 Oct 2023, at 09:02, <nexa-request(a)server-nexa.polito.it> <nexa-request(a)server-nexa.polito.it> wrote: > > From: Damiano Verzulli <damiano(a)verzulli.it <mailto:damiano@verzulli.it>> > To: nexa(a)server-nexa.polito.it <mailto:nexa@server-nexa.polito.it> > Subject: [nexa] 4M€: pochi?

The End of Hermeneutics [cont. IA, lavoro, immaginari]
by Guido Vetere Oct. 16, 2023

Oct. 16, 2023

Vi ricordate Chris Anderson che parlava di 'End of Theory'? ( https://www.wired.com/2008/06/pb-theory/) Diceva che i 'big data' avrebbero reso obsoleto il metodo scientifico. Quindici anni dopo la scienza usa più e meglio i dati, ma ancora negli stessi paradigmi ipotetico-deduttivi Oggi però lo stesso genere di profezie tecno-empiristiche prendono di mira il linguaggio, e con ben altri mezzi, con ben altre voci. Il linguaggio - dicono - non è quella cosa su cui, da Socrate a Searle passando per Saussure e Wittgenstein, si sono interrogati linguisti e filosofi:è solo il "campo di forze" indotto dalla produzione di testi. L'interpretazione della parola non è quella abduzione soggettiva di cui parlava Peirce, è semplicemente la generazione di una distribuzione di probabilità sulle parole successive. A che serve allora l'ermeneutica? Essa sta già tutta nei miliardi di parametri di un LLM, basta tirarla fuori con qualche prompt Finirà la critica letteraria? O finirà la letteratura tout-court? Ne riparliamo tra quindici anni (spero) Buona serata, G.

In un mondo sempre più connesso e digitale, *i dati personali dei cittadini meritano la giusta attenzione*. A garantire questa attenzione dovrebbero esserci le norme del *GDPR*, le quali vengono però spesso dimenticate o ignorate. Questo incontro mira a presentare un nuovo strumento software in grado di rilevare i trasferimenti di dati personali verso domini di Paesi extra-EU ed extra-EEA, e i risultati di un'analisi di massa effettuata sui trasferimenti di dati personali da parte della pubblica amministrazione italiana verso tali Paesi, con un approfondimento sullo scenario legale attuale. BIOGRAFIA - e informazioni supplementari: [Lunch108] *Lorenzo LAUDADIO* è uno studente del corso di laurea magistrale in Ingegneria Informatica, con indirizzo Cybersecurity, presso il Politecnico di Torino. Durante il suo lavoro di tesi, dal titolo "Development of a tool for the automated analysis and reporting of personal data transfers to non-EEA domains" ha avuto modo di realizzare un'analisi di massa sui trasferimenti di dati dai siti web della pubblica amministrazione italiana a domini di Paesi terzi, studiando nel dettaglio le regole del GDPR che stanno alla base dei trasferimenti di dati personali. *Letture consigliate e link utili:* * Schrems, M.
