Fwd: [ NNSquad ] Ad Blocking vs. ISPs ("The French Connection")

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

Sakharovpriset och Snowden
by Emil Tullstedt 27 Sep '13

27 Sep '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hej! Jag har nu skickat ut mail till EU-parlamentariker om att Snowden borde få Sakharovpriset :) On the twittermachines now! mvh Emil engelskt mail: Best MEPs, In 1968, the soviet dissident and physicist Andrei Sakharov[1] shared details about the soviet hydrogen bomb project and the dangers the project implied for humanity to the public. His acts were not only awarded with the Nobel Peace Prize, but your precessors in the European Parliament decided to constitute a prize for the freedom of thought in his honor[2]. This year one man have distinguished in the very way of the Sakharov prize by choosing to share details about the USA:s systematic abuse of their imperial powers to massurvey citizens of the world. The whistleblower Edward Snowden shared information that has put his very freedom to the edge, choosing between a conditional freedom in Putin's Russia or a certain life in prison in the USA. He has, in many ways, become a dissident just like Sakharov were before him. Even though many people walking on this earth have done theirs to ensure our freedom of though is being preserved, Edward Snowden is one of our times most important whistleblower who selfishlessly stood up for fundamental human rights by blowing the whistle on the NSA PRISM. The swedish organization for digital freedoms and rights :DFRI would encourage you to vote for Snowden for the short-list for the Sakharov-prize on this monday[3][4] in order to honor his contribution to aid fundamental human rights and basic democratic principles. Thank you! svensk version: Hej EU-parlamentariker! 1968 avslöjade sovjetdissidenten Andrei Sakharov[1] detaljer om Sovjets vätebombsprogram och hotet det innebar för mänskligheten, en handling som, tillsammans med hans kommande engagemang för mänskliga rättigheter innebar att Sakharov inte bara belönades med Nobels fredspris, utan också inspirerade era föregångare i parlamentet att instifta ett pris för att hedra den fria tanken[2]. I år har en person mer än någon annan blivit en symbol för att USA under flera år har systematiskt valt att massövervaka och åsiktsregistrerat världsmedborgare - NSA-whistleblowern Edward Snowden har under sommaren avslöjat detaljer om massövervakning som inte bara har varit bevis på stort mod, utan också i Sakharov-anda, gjort honom till något som kan liknas till dissident. Det är många som förtjänar att få Sakharovpriset för den fria tanken, men Edward Snowdens uppoffring av sin egen trygghet för att osjälviskt dela med sig av hur en av vår tids viktigaste regimer har visat brist på respekt för människors grundläggande rättigheter. Vi i :DFRI ber dig därför nu på måndag, 30 september, se till att placera Edward Snowden på listan för kandidater till Sakharovprisets kortlista[3] för att hedra hans insats för mänskliga fri- och rättigheter och för demokratins bevarande, inte bara i USA utan även i EU och övriga delar av världen.

Twittra loss på Snowden-Sakharov i helgen!

Här är länken: http://www.article19.org/join-the-debate.php/111/view/ //Erik From Sakharov to Snowden: Why Edward Snowden should receive the 2013 Sakharov Prize BarboraBukovska 26 Sep 2013 <http://www.article19.org/join-the-debate.php/111/view/#debateComments> *Next week (30 September) members of the European Parliament will decide who will be awarded the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought <http://www.europarl.europa.eu/aboutparliament/en/00f3dd2249/Sakharov-Prize-…>. The winner will be chosen by members of three committees (AFET, DEVE and DROI) and announced by Conference of Presidents on 10 October 2013. The Prize has honoured the efforts of individuals and organisations who defend human rights and freedom of expression annually since 1988. * *Edward Snowden, the former US National Security Agency (NSA) contractor and whistleblower, is among the nominees for the Prize. * While all of this year's nominees are deserving of global recognition for their admirable and courageous action to highlight and defend human rights, it is Snowden's exposure of a massive and unaccountable state sponsored surveillance programme that most closely captures the enduring legacy of the man that the prize is named after. The 1975 Nobel Peace Prize winner Andrei Sakharov. Sakharov was a Russian physicist who rejected the USSR's nuclear programme; he shunned his own work in a secret research laboratory to become an outspoken opponent and critic of the oppressive reach of the Kremlin. Even in exile, Sakharov continued to raise his voice, denouncing social injustice and advocating the benefits of democracy. It is fair to say that Sakharov was a security state insider, working on the powerful weapons that could affect all humanity. Snowden too was a security state insider, working on powerful weapons enabling the interception of the electronic communications. Through his revelations, Snowden voiced objection to the vast scale of secret state surveillance of millions of people around the world, including foreign presidents <http://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/03/world/americas/brazil-angered-over-report…> and companies <http://g1.globo.com/fantastico/noticia/2013/09/petrobras-foi-espionada-pelo…>. The revelations revealed how democratically elected U.S. senators <http://www.latimes.com/world/worldnow/la-fg-wn-clapper-snowden-disclosures-…> had lied. These revelations have released information that is on of strong public concern, including previously classified judgments from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court articulating alarm about governmental conduct <http://www.documentcloud.org/documents/785205-pub-march-2-2009-order-from-f…>. Over thirty years on from Sakharov's exile, Snowden's actions reflect that he is the true inheritor of the Sakharov legacy. Like Sakharov, Snowden decided to defect and stand for the values of society at large against the secretive interests of state machinery. Like Sakharov, Snowden finds himself an outcast, living in asylum and hounded as a result. In divulging classified information, Snowden has greatly jeopardised both his professional and personal livelihood. Beyond displaying great courage, Snowden instigated and much needed and long overdue discussion and debate about the preservation of democratic ideals and the limits of permissible government interference with human rights in a world where national security has been used increasingly to justify the erosion of fundamental freedoms. Snowden's action has showed that blanket mass-surveillance practices are not limited to 'communist states' and 'dictators.' Many members of the European Parliament who grew up within a communist state will surely remember the effect such surveillance -- the purpose of which was nothing more than to control behaviour and dictate the conduct of everyday life. One study of the EU Data Retention Directive poignantly observed that "under pervasive surveillance, individuals are inclined to make choices that conform to mainstream expectations." The Members of the European Parliament must make sure that human rights violations exposed by Snowden are addressed; surveillance must be constrained to cases when justified under international law. They also must make sure that governments remain accountable and transparent in an age where unprecedented technological advances allow for increased ability for subterfuge. By the same token, Members of the European Parliament should also recognise the individual who has exposed these violations; a man who has fought for human rights protection and for the traditions and liberties that the Prize embodies. *Edward Snowden must be the recipient of the 2013 Sakharov Prize.*

IT i EP

Nu behöver jag hjälp igen! @Erik Lönroth, kan du be att få ut den här studien? (skriv, som vanligt, med listan i cc) "The IT department has, fourth, analysed two competing document standards, Open Document Format and Office OpenXML, assisting the Groupe de Travail de Bureautique Interinstitutionnel (EU working group on interinstitutional office tools). "*This study* testifies to the difficulty of choosing one of these formats even though both are ISO standardised and to the importance of requirements, the existing documentary heritage and the systems in place when it comes to making a decision." https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/community/osor/news/european-parliament-it-foll… @Alexander Rydekull, kan du skriva nåt om att AT4AM inte funkar (eller att det funkar) att köra på på en fristående server (samma artikel)? "The XML format is used in the EP's AT4AM, software for authoring and management of amendments on parliamentary texts. AT4AM was released as open source earlier this year." Ha en underbar DFRI dag! :-) //Erik

Hej listan! Jag är inte jurist och jag har inte läst alla de 439 sidorna men... det här kan inte vara i medborgarnas intresse och nytta menar jag: 27 kap. 16 § Den som i elektronisk form innehar en viss lagrad uppgift som skäligen kan antas ha betydelse för utredningen om ett brott får föreläggas att bevara uppgiften. I föreläggandet ska anges under hur lå ng tid uppgiften ska bevaras. Tiden får inte bestämmas längre än nödvändigt och får inte överstiga 90 dagar. Om det finns särskilda skäl får tiden för be varande förlängas med högst 30 dagar. Föreläggande får inte riktas mot den som skäligen kan misstänkas för brottet eller någon honom eller henne sådan närs tående person som avses i 36 kap. 3 §. "Första stycket innebär att den som i elektronisk form innehar en viss lagrad uppgift som skäligen kan antas ha betydelse för utred- ningen om ett brott får föreläggas att bevara uppgiften. De elek- troniska uppgifter som ett föreläggande kan avse kan vara av vilket slag som helst." s329 16 a § Föreläggande enligt 16 § beslutas av undersökningsledaren eller åklagaren. Om det är möjligt ska föreläggandet ges skriftligt. I annat fall ska den före- lagde så snart som möjligt få ett skriftligt bevis om beslutet. Meddelande om åtgärden får inte obeh örigen föras vidare. Föreläggandet ska innehålla en unde rrättelse om detta. Den som ålagts föreläggandet får be gära rättens prövning av förelägg- andet. För rättens prövning gäller i tillämpliga delar vad som sägs i 6 § s332 Mycket text men: "De elektroniska uppgifter som ett föreläggande kan avse kan vara av vilket slag som helst." Tål att tänkas på tycker jag. Sist undrar jag varför man inte anställer någon med någon som helst teknisk kompetens i ett sådant viktigt ärende? Eller är det så det går till alltid, infrastruktur, kärnkraft, försvar etc.? /19x20 PS.
