Fwd: [ NNSquad ] Ad Blocking vs. ISPs ("The French Connection")
by Erik Josefsson 11 Dec '23

11 Dec '23

Det här börjar bli komplicerat tycker jag. Om en individ, typ jag, blockar reklam är det okej. Om en ISP gör det är det inte okej enligt Lauren. Klockrent problem. //Erik -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [ NNSquad ] Ad Blocking vs. ISPs ("The French Connection") Date: Sun, 6 Jan 2013 21:00:33 -0800 From: Lauren Weinstein <lauren(a)vortex.com> To: nnsquad(a)nnsquad.org Ad Blocking vs. ISPs ("The French Connection") http://j.mp/Wm03Au (New York Times) "Mr. Niel's telecommunications company, Free, which has an estimated 5.2 million Internet-access users in France, began last week to enable its customers to block Web advertising. The company is updating users' software with an ad-blocking feature as the default setting." - - - Let me be very clear about this. I have written in the past of the problematic nature of individuals employing ad blocking (originally in "Blocking Web Ads -- And Paying the Piper" ( http://bit.ly/8QLzYc [Lauren's Blog] ), but for an ISP to become involved in ad blocking -- particularly by default -- is as abusive of their role as an Internet access provider as would be their blocking particular sites or pages with which they had a political disagreement. It is a direct affront to the most basic tenets of net neutrality, and should be vigorously opposed. --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein (lauren(a)vortex.com) http://www.vortex.com/lauren Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org/pfir-info Founder: - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com/privacy-info - Data Wisdom Explorers League: http://www.dwel.org - Global Coalition for Transparent Internet Performance: http://www.gctip.org Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Lauren's Blog: http://lauren.vortex.com Google+: http://vortex.com/g+lauren / Twitter: http://vortex.com/t-lauren Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 / Skype: vortex.com _______________________________________________ nnsquad mailing list http://lists.nnsquad.org/mailman/listinfo/nnsquad

Fråga om att retwittra till mobiler
by Susanne Graham 03 Apr '13

03 Apr '13

Hej, Det sociala nätverket LaCubanada.com kan idag skicka gratis sms. Vi skulle vilja kunna erbjuda personer på Kuba som registrerar sitt telefon-nummer att få utvalda twittrar sms-ade till sig. Idag är det så gott som omöjligt för vanligt folk på Kuba att följa vad som händer på Twitter, så sms:ade twittrar skulle nog göra en del skillnad. Frågan är om det är möjligt att få hjälp med tekniken för det här upplägget? Vänliga hälsningar Susanne -- Susanne Ferrer Graham Project manager www.lacubanada.com +46 73 633 29 67

Dear all, A generic version of AT4AM has now been released as Free Software under EUPL v1.1 or later: *Parliaments able to save time thanks to free EP tool for managing legislative amendments* http://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/headlines/content/20130318STO06606/ht… There's a website here, including links to the source code: *AT4AM for All* http://at4am.org/site/ Best regards. //Erik Parliaments able to save time thanks to free EP tool for managing legislative amendments Information society - 20-03-2013 - 14:01 A pile of documents in the plenary Chamber <http://www.europarl.europa.eu/resources/library/images/20130320PHT06719/201…> Too many amendments? We can help with that! *A handy tool for managing amendments to legislative proposals is being offered to national parliaments free of charge by the European Parliament. Its technical team has created a special tool for managing all files in just one window of the internet browser. AT4AM - short for Authoring Tool for Amendments - makes it easier and quicker to table amendments. A generic open-source version is now being made available to other parliaments.* Since its launch in 2010, AT4AM has been used to table more than 250,000 amendments in the EP. "Due to this great success in the EP it was a logical consequence to release the source code and make it available to national parliaments in order to share a modern instrument for drafting activity with a minimal investment," said vice-president Rainer Wieland, a German member of the EPP group. AT4AM is a web-editor that enables users to file, draft and edit amendments with only one click in a single browser window. All corrections, mentions and edits are automatically added to the original document, without any need to copy data or work on several files at the same time.

kakverk

kaka -> bakverk -> kakverk Vad pratar dom om? "If the practice of brands pseudonymising data was approved, it would see *the creation of a new category of data* that would store cookies and IP addresses so that individuals could be assigned the same pseudonym across various devices. The information could then be grouped together for analysis without putting personal data at risk." http://www.marketingweek.co.uk/news/government-mulls-data-targeting-alterna… Låter som trolleri. Kan nån föklara? //Erik

"Hur-är-min-privacy"-tjänst?
by Linus Nordberg 12 Mar '13

12 Mar '13

Hej listan! Jag har pratat med webutvecklare i några timmar idag. Presenterade Tor och pratade privacy. Dom är intresserade av hur man kan kolla sin nya fina websida med avseende på privacy. Finns det några sådana tjänster som är vettiga? PTS har en "hitta kakor" men det finns ju mycket annat man kan kolla på en websajt. Saker jag kommer på såhär direkt nu är - funkar ssl? - är det mycket "utlänkar" som berättar för andra vad jag surfar på? - hur illa är dom? facebook-gilla är kanske värre än en mindre aktör? - faller den tillbaka snyggt om man har javascript avslaget? Jag vet inte om det ens går att göra något sådant. Vad tror ni som kan nåt om web? Kaktestet finns på http://e-tjanster.pts.se/internet/kakor/ SSL testar man visst på https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/index.html

ISP:s och CA-cert i webbläsare och OS
by Martin Millnert 06 Mar '13

06 Mar '13

Hej, flera av er har säkert sett https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#! topic/mozilla.dev.security.policy/mirZzYH5_pI vid det här laget. Nu är jag ingen expert på CA-terminologi och detaljer, men det förefaller som att TeliaSonera vill uppgradera sina redan installerade CA-cert hos Mozilla. Diskussionen leder i vart fall snabbt över till att TeliaSonera inte borde ha CA-cert installerat i Mozillas truststore över huvud taget. Och det är väl rätt vettigt... att de inte skall ha, precis som alla andra ISPs. TeliaSonera måste under alla omständigheter klassas som en ISP i sammanhanget. Och ISPs sitter alltid mellan hosts. SSL är ände-till-ände. I slutet av tråden, som den ser ut just nu, efterfrågas: "Forward this email to someone from EU authorities and/or Swedish Government you know." Är detta något DFRI vill engagera sig i? Jag tycker det är klockrent och har inte så mycket med TeliaSonera att göra som med SSL & Internet överlag. Vänligen, Martin

ACTA documents
by Linus Nordberg 04 Mar '13

04 Mar '13

Dear Mr President Schulz, The European Parliament has played an active role in transparency issues relating to ACTA both by demanding disclosure and by disclosing documents [1,2,3] but also, in some instances, by actively withholding public information [4]. This complexity follows as a consequence from that the European Parliament should have been immediately and fully informed at all stages of the ACTA procedure. The Commission always claimed that the European Parliament had been properly informed [5] to the extent that not even a lawsuit claiming the opposite [6] moderated that stance. Further, it is our understanding that the Commission also claimed that the European Parliament's vote on consent would be immaterial as an effect of the Commission's referral of ACTA to the Court of Justice [7]. Your own commitment to transparency in ACTA [8] has been duly noted and appreciated. We therefore ask you to keep the same high transparency standards also when it comes to the aftermath and closing of the ACTA file. We understand that the European Parliament has submitted written observations to the Court of Justice and that a question asked by the Court of Justice to the Commission have been sent to the European Parliament [9]. We would kindly ask for your intervention to immediately make all documents available to the public. With best regards, Linus Nordberg DFRI - Föreningen för digitala fri- och rättigheter https://dfri.se/index.en [1] https://dfri.se/files/am109_on_ACTA_disclosure.png [2] http://www.europarl.europa.eu/sides/getDoc.do?pubRef=-//EP//TEXT+TA+P7-TA-2… [3] http://lists.act-on-acta.eu/pipermail/hub/2011-December/000072.html [4] https://dfri.se/files/ACTA_documents_release-1.pdf [5] http://www.europarl.europa.eu/sides/getAllAnswers.do?reference=E-2010-2033&… [6] http://curia.europa.eu/juris/fiche.jsf?id=T;301;10;RD;1;P;1;T2010/0301/P [7] http://acta.mpbloggar.se/2012/06/21/eu-kommissionen-tanker-inte-ge-upp-vid-… [8] https://dfri.se/files/ACTA_schulz_re_8feb.jpg [9] http://www.europarl.europa.eu/sides/getAllAnswers.do?reference=E-2013-00001…
