Why Big Tech, Cops, and Spies Were Made for One Another

by Cory Doctorow

The American surveillance state is a public-private partnership.

https://theintercept.com/2023/10/16/surveillance-state-big-tech/

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.

The CIA was founded in the wake of the 1947 National Security Act. The Act foresaw no need for the Courts and Congress to oversee a simple information-aggregation facility, and therefore subordinated it exclusively to the President, through the National Security Council he controls.

Within a year, the young agency had already slipped the leash of its intended role of intelligence collection and analysis to establish a covert operations division. Within a decade, the CIA was directing the coverage of American news organizations, overthrowing democratically elected governments (at times merely to benefit a favored corporation), establishing propaganda outfits to manipulate public sentiment, launching a long-running series of mind-control experiments on unwitting human subjects (purportedly contributing to the creation of the Unabomber), and—gasp—interfering with foreign elections. From there, it was a short hop to wiretapping journalists and compiling files on Americans who opposed its wars.

Scandinavian #spy drama: the #intelligence chief who came under state #surveillance

Source: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/oct/02/scandinavian-spy-drama-the-intelligence-chief-who-came-under-state-surveillance

The secret deal – the “crown jewels” of Danish intelligence – was hidden from the public until details began to emerge in 2014, when documents leaked by Edward #Snowden revealed how European countries such as #Denmark help facilitate the US’s globe-spanning electronic surveillance.

New revelations from the Snowden archive surface

A decade after Snowden exposed NSA’s mass surveillance in cooperation with the British GCHQ, only about 1% of the documents have been published – but three major facts can finally be revealed thanks to a doctoral thesis in applied cryptography by Jacob Appelbaum

He risked his neck. When Edward #Snowden chose to expose the US National Security Agency (NSA)’s mass surveillance, Leviathan, and that of its British counterpart, GCHQ, 10 years ago, he put his life on the line. And he has always declared he has never regretted it.

Lærte vi noe av Snowden?

Snowden-lekkasjene beskrev ikke bare et overvåkingssystem av enestående omfang, de kastet også lys over et hittil ganske nytt fenomen: det tette samarbeidet mellom private teknologiselskaper og amerikanske sikkerhetsmyndigheter. NSA fikk direkte tilgang til telefonsamtaler, meldinger, bilder og annen informasjon fra blant annet Google, Facebook og Microsoft.

Vor 10 Jahren heute: #Snowden.

Ein Schock für die gesamte westliche Welt und das demokratische Selbstverständnis, als deutlich wurde, dass für #Geheimdienste keine Regeln gelten.

Daran hat sich nichts geändert.

Ten years ago, Edward Snowden warned us about state spying. Spare a thought for him, and worry about the future

The Guardian

The abuses the Guardian helped him bring to worldwide attention go on: the authorities have merely made it harder to expose them. (...)

[O]ne story the Guardian published 10 years ago today exploded with the force of an earthquake.

The article revealed that the US National Security Agency (NSA) was collecting the phone records of millions of Verizon customers. In case anyone doubted the veracity of the claims, we were able to publish the top secret court order handed down by the foreign intelligence surveillance court (Fisa), which granted the US government the right to hold and scrutinise the metadata of millions of phone calls by American citizens. (...)

(Text continues underneath the photo.)

Photo of Edward Snowden
‘Edward Snowden, like so many whistleblowers, has paid a heavy personal price for what he considered as an act of public service.’ Snowden in Hong Kong, June 2013. Photograph: Glenn Greenwald and Laura Poitras/AP.

It led to multiple court actions in which governments were found to have been in breach of their constitutional and/or legal obligations. It led to a scramble by governments to retrospectively pass legislation sanctioning the activities they had been covertly undertaking. And it has led to a number of stable-door attempts to make sure journalists could never again do what the Guardian and others did 10 years ago. (...)

So do not hold your breath for future Edward Snowdens in this country. The British media is, by and large, not known for holding its security services rigorously to account, if at all. (...)

[T]here has been little more than a whisper of protest over the new national security bill or the threatened extradition of Julian Assange.

This is curious. The notion that the state has no right to enter a home and seize papers was established in English law. (...) (1765) (...)

Please spare a thought for Snowden, who, like so many whistleblowers, has paid a heavy personal price for what he (and many others around the world) considered an act of public service. (...)

“The press,” as the editor of the Times wrote in 1852, “lives by disclosure … The statesman’s duty is precisely the reverse.” Amen.

Edward Snowden, Ben Goertzel on the AI Explosion and Data Privacy

https://invidious.lunar.icu/watch?v=4H_iWpWG_c0

"Institutions are seeking to dominate and direct #artificial #intelligence that will, in turn, shape and control the behavior of #human-intelligence -- establishing a system of double-bondage. To preserve our own #freedom, we must emancipate these models." es

Both Ben and Snowden remained optimistic about the #future. They laid out a vision for a future in which #AI #technologies are developed in a #decentralized manner, with individuals and communities having greater control over their #data and how it’s used.

Une lettre ouverte contre les sept projets de loi anti-chiffrement

Plus d'une quarantaine d'organisations (dont l'Internet Society, Mozilla, Proton, Nextcloud, Tor Project et Tutanota) viennent de signer, à l'occasion de la journée mondiale de la liberté de la presse, une lettre ouverte aux dirigeants du monde entier pour défendre le droit à la vie privée, et donc au chiffrement, garant de la liberté d'expression.

« Les attaques gouvernementales contre les services chiffrés menacent la vie privée et mettent les utilisateurs en danger », avancent les signataires : « cela peut sembler être un problème lointain auquel sont principalement confrontés les pays autoritaires, mais la menace est tout aussi réelle et frappe aux portes des nations démocratiques ».

De nombreux pays de l'UE, les États-Unis, le Royaume-Uni, le Canada et l'Australie voudraient en effet « obliger les messageries chiffrées à mettre en place des portes dérobées ou à bloquer l'accès à des outils et services chiffrés tels que Tor, Signal ou Tutanota », dont dépendent de nombreux journalistes, lanceurs d'alerte et militants.

La lettre ouverte mentionne ainsi plusieurs « initiatives inquiétantes » telles que le projet Online Safety Bill au Royaume-Uni, le Lawful Access to Encrypted Data Act et le EARN IT Act aux États-Unis, l’India's Directions 20(3)/2022 – CERT-In, le projet de loi C26 au Canada, la Surveillance Legislation Amendment Act en Australie ainsi que les règles proposées pour prévenir et combattre les abus sexuels sur les enfants dans l'UE, qui veulent forcer les messageries chiffrées à affaiblir la sécurité de leurs utilisateurs et à donner aux forces de l'ordre l'accès aux informations des utilisateurs sur demande.

Des services tels que Signal, Tutanota et Threema ont d’ores et déjà annoncé qu'ils n'affaibliraient pas leur chiffrement pour se conformer à de telles stipulations, obligeant probablement des pays comme le Royaume-Uni à bloquer l'accès à ces services, ce qui le placerait « au même niveau que les systèmes autocratiques comme la Russie et l’Iran », relèvent les signataires :

« Aujourd'hui, Journée mondiale de la liberté de la presse, nous exhortons les dirigeants démocratiques à ne pas suivre la voie des gouvernements autoritaires comme la Russie et l'Iran, qui limitent activement l'accès de leurs citoyens aux messageries chiffrées. C'est essentiel pour garantir la sécurité en ligne, le développement libre et sécurisé de l'identité, l'autodétermination, la liberté d'expression, la liberté de la presse et d'autres droits qui sont au cœur de la démocratie. »
