Human Rights Watch said surveillance technologies, artificial intelligence (AI), and other digital tools help determine who or what to attack in Gaza and when, but rely on data collected through systematic Israeli surveillance of Gaza residents “in a manner that is incompatible with international human rights law”.

“The Israeli military’s use of these tools, instead of helping to provide more accurate targeting and minimise civilian loss of life and property, may be exacerbating the risk to civilians and raises grave ethical, legal, and humanitarian concerns.”

#Telegram will start #moderating private chats after #CEO’s arrest

source: https://www.theverge.com/2024/9/5/24237254/telegram-pavel-durov-arrest-private-chats-moderation-policy-change

Earlier today, Durov issued his first public statement since his arrest, promising to moderate content more on the platform — a noticeable change in tone after the company initially said he had “nothing to hide”. “It is absurd to claim that a platform or its owner are responsible for abuse of that platform,” the company wrote in an unattributed statement posted in August.

Internet Archive Loses on Appeal

Libraries can lend paper books for free but must pay outrageous fees to publishers to lend scans of paper books.

Remember: the Internet Archive owned paper copies of the books they lent. They scanned the paper book, and only allowed one person to view the scan at one time. Each patron had a limited time to view the book before other patrons had a chance. This is as close to lending the paper copy as possible without the patron actually touching the paper copy.

Publishers were upset because this digital lending gave them no more power, control, or money than they receive from selling paper books to libraries. Publishers rent ebooks to libraries in such a way that they get income from them constantly, and not just one time. Renting ebooks to libraries also allows publishers to spy on readers.

Internet Archive’s e-book lending is not fair use, appeals court rules

Publishers prevail despite lack of proof of market harm.

Fabrice Epelboin sur X : "La plus ancienne et respectable association de hackers, le CCC, avertit que le gouvernement allemand de gauche, vert et libéral veut « mettre fin à l'anonymat » et rendre tous les citoyens « identifiables à tout moment et en tout lieu », notamment en ouvrant les portes à Palantir" / X

La guerre des États contre les rĂ©seaux ouverts qui refusent d’appliquer leur politique de contrĂŽle de l’opinion prend un nouveau tournant avec cette dĂ©cision au BrĂ©sil. Puisque la cour suprĂȘme vient d’y 'interdire X, mais plus incroyable encore, de punir d’une amende de 9000$ par jour, la consultation du rĂ©seau social via VPN.

#politique #surveillance #contrĂŽle #1984

C’est un point de bascule et de nombreux États ou oligarchies d’État fragilisĂ©es seront tentĂ©es d’utiliser des mĂ©thodes identiques, notamment l’UE, la Grande Bretagne, et de nombreux autres, appartenant Ă  des coalitions gĂ©opolitiques diffĂ©rentes. C’est un sujet mondial et il n’y a pas ici de “gentils” et de “mĂ©chants”.
Il est probable qu’à l’avenir, l’objectif de stabilitĂ© des États poussera la plupart d’entre-eux Ă  limiter les droits des citoyens pour Ă©viter la confrontation intĂ©rieure et la guerre civile. Les États les plus fragilisĂ©s, soit par le manque de cohĂ©sion interne de leur population, par l’incompĂ©tence de leur personnel politique ou par les tentatives de dĂ©stabilisations de leurs adversaires gĂ©opolitiques, seront donc les plus susceptibles d’adopter des mesures liberticides pour Ă©viter l’effondrement. Chaque État sera d’autant plus liberticide qu’il sera fragile. Car seule la force de sa cohĂ©sion culturelle et normative intĂ©rieure, la compĂ©tence de son personnel politique et sa puissance dans les rapports de force mondiaux, sont des gages durables de la capacitĂ© d’un État Ă  rĂ©sister aux guerres de dĂ©stabilisation (Ă©lections, culture, normes, etc.). Et donc Ă  maintenir un Ă©tat de dĂ©tente intĂ©rieur, propice au respect des libertĂ©s civiles. Bien-sĂ»r, nous sommes heureux, comme opposants, de disposer de rĂ©seaux d’informations alternatifs mais si nous avions le pouvoir Ă  la tĂȘte d’un État fragile et menacĂ© de renversement par des forces extĂ©rieures, nous verrions peut-ĂȘtre les choses autrement. La libertĂ© ne peut ĂȘtre le rĂ©sultat de simples postulats libĂ©raux et dĂ©mocratiques. Le croire c’est ignorer la marche du monde. Se fragiliser, c’est tĂŽt ou tard se condamner Ă  l’esclavage. Fragiliser un pays, c’est le condamner Ă  la soumission et Ă  la tyrannie.
Sans puissance, on n’a que la libertĂ© de la longueur de la laisse. Les États-proies incapables de se dĂ©fendre contre les opĂ©rateurs de guerres de quatriĂšme gĂ©nĂ©ration, laissent leurs citoyens “libres” tant que la population vote correctement. Si un risque de basculement politique rĂ©el survient, la libertĂ© est alors suspendue. Nous en avons la dĂ©monstration chaque jour. Le degrĂ© de libertĂ© dans les colonies de l’empire, est un indicateur exact de la confiance des dominants. Si vous ĂȘtes libre c’est qu’ils ne craignent rien.
Il nous faut chĂ©rir la libertĂ©. Non celle que nous octroie une oligarchie confiante et toxique tout en nous dĂ©truisant, mais celle que donne la cohĂ©sion et la puissance. Dans les États souverains, la libertĂ© des citoyens est Ă  la mesure de la dĂ©tente que donne la puissance.
Il faut choisir sa liberté.
X est mon alliĂ©, mais c’est un alliĂ© temporaire. Je le sais et le passĂ© de cette plateforme et des autres, devrait nous servir de leçon. Notre libertĂ© durable et rĂ©elle ne peut dĂ©pendre Ă  terme d’un milliardaire ou d’un rĂ©seau social, mais se gagne par la puissance. Elle porte un nom : #SouverainetĂ© .

As tools for hybrid threats, apps like Telegram must be accountable | The Strategist

#politics #freedom #surveillance #1984

While the global community has been arguably too slow to hold messaging and social media platforms accountable, these steps towards greater government action reflect a positive shift towards better oversight.

You get it ? It's not about "censorship", only "better oversight". "Slavery is Freedom", sheeple!

Why Kamala Harris Must Break the Cycle of Unlawful and Abusive Government Surveillance

The ACLU is calling on a Harris-Walz Administration to halt civil liberties harms caused by the government’s spying on and discriminating against Americans in the U.S. and abroad.

https://www.aclu.org/news/civil-liberties/why-kamala-harris-must-break-the-cycle-of-unlawful-and-abusive-government-surveillance

Since this nation’s founding, the executive branch has been granted — or has claimed — immense power to enforce the law, including the power to surveil, investigate, and impose criminal or other sanctions that deprive individuals of their freedoms. Today, national security agencies — including those with law enforcement, intelligence, homeland security, and defense functions — combine their expansive authorities with unprecedented digital tools that peer into our lives and collect immense amounts of information about us.

And don't forget the role of Google, Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft, and Apple in all of this. We are living through a War Against Privacy^TM^.
