DFRI har skrivit under ett öppet brev till antivirustillverkarna

Hej listan! Det här har vi missat att berätta om på listan. En del grejer hamnar bara på Twitter [1], andra bara på IRC (#dfri_se på OFTC.net). DFRI har skrivit under ett brev [2] som ställer några frågor till de stora tillverkarna av antivirusprogramvara [3]: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- Experts call upon the vendors of antivirus software for transparency An international coalition of more than 25 civil rights organizations and security experts is concerned about the level of security provided by antivirus software companies. “The users of this software should be ably to rely on the security of their systems. We fear this might be a false feeling of security.” says Ton Siedsma of the Dutch digital rights organization Bits of Freedom. According to the coalition, these companies have a vital position in providing security and maintaining the trust of internet users engaging in sensitive activities such as electronic banking. There should be no doubt that your antivirus software provides the security needed to maintain this trust. In the letter, the coalition asks the antivirus companies for transparency on whether there have been any requests by governments to not detect the presence of governmental malware and if so, if they have granted such a request. They furthermore ask how the companies would respond to such a request in the future. “It has become very clear that governments will do anything to gain acces to as much information as possible” says Siedsma. “Requests like these, coming from law enforcement agencies or secret services, lower the general level of protection of all users of antivirus software. The software isn’t just used by suspects, but by all of us. This is something to be very concerned about, so we have asked the antivirus software vendors for transparancy on this matter.” The letter has been sent to the following companies: Agnitum, Ahnlab, Avira operations, AVG, AVAST, Bullguard, Bitdefender, F-secure, F-Prot, Kaspersky, McAfee, Microsoft, Nod32, Norton, Panda, Symantec and Trend Micro. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- [1] https://twitter.com/dfri_se/status/394006370887802880 [2] https://www.bof.nl/live/wp-content/uploads/Letter-to-antivirus-companies-.p… [3] https://www.bof.nl/2013/10/25/experts-call-upon-the-vendors-of-antivirus-so… -- DFRI-listan är öppen för alla.

Frihet
by 19x20 27 Oct '13

27 Oct '13

Världen är mycket komplicerad men målet är fortfarande enkelt. "Den offentliga makten ska utövas med respekt för alla människors lika värde och för den enskilda människans frihet och värdighet." 1 Kap, 2 §, Svensk författningssamling 1974:152 "alla människor" är rätt tydligt tycker jag och så vitt jag vet finns det ganska precis 50% av kvinnligt kön och 50% av manligt kön. "för alla människors lika värde" det kan vara en start? Det går inte att bygga in hur mycket diskrepanser som helst i ett system. 50% är och kommer alltid att vara 50%. När systemet inte fungerar då blir man tvungen att gå tillbaka tills det att man hittar felet. Jag kan inte se att det är annorlunda nu? /19x20 -- DFRI-listan är öppen för alla.

VB: [iindep-hub] Will the Ombudsman rise to the occassion?
by Erik Josefsson 27 Oct '13

27 Oct '13

Apropå att dra slipsten, det här är enligt mig det viktigaste caset det här seklet. Om ombudsmannen fipplar bort detta så fipplas hela meningen med EU bort. Erik Josefsson BE GSM: +32484082063 SE GSM: +46707696567 ----- Forwarded message ----- Från: "Ante Wessels" <ante(a)ffii.org> Till: "iindep info exchange hub" <hub(a)iindep.org> Rubrik: [iindep-hub] Will the Ombudsman rise to the occassion? Datum: ons, okt 23, 2013 18:59 Will the Ombudsman rise to the occassion? http://acta.ffii.org/?p=1956 with links October 23, 2013 By Ante A few weeks ago I filed a complaint with the Ombudsman against the European Parliament over the secrecy of legal advice regarding ACTA. The Ombudsman replied that she didn’t want to investigate the complaint as I already got access to the documents (unofficially released versions). In a letter I ask her to reconsider the decision, as the decision seems not in line with an earlier Ombudsman decision, and, more importantly, an investigation could be of major importance. Key paragraphs: "The secrecy surrounding international negotiations is very problematic. For instance, the secrecy surrounding ACTA (Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement) led to various European Parliament resolutions, two Ombudsman complaints and a Court case. All these cases failed, as the "protection of the public interest as regards international relations" exception to openness has an "absolute" character. Once successfully invoked, the Institution does not have to balance it with the public interest in disclosure. The Parliament even raised this international relations exception, that has such a devastating effect on openness, for legal advice it produced itself after the negotiations. This extends the brute force of the international relations exception beyond reasonable scope. The Parliament uses the international relations exception to negate landmark EU Court of Justice Turco case law on legal advice. In my complaint I challenge this over-extension by arguing that the Parliament erred in law. Challenging this over-extension and defending the landmark Turco case law on legal advice is of major importance. Furthermore, I challenge the "absolute" character of the international relations exception by pointing out it is not compatible with human rights. If this reasoning finds acceptance, it may break the absolute character of the exception. It could lead to more open negotiations of international agreements. This would be of major importance too."

Fwd: [US-EU-TTIP] New online tool to highlight investor-state threat
by Erik Josefsson 25 Oct '13

25 Oct '13

TTIP är ett jätte-ACTA som omfattar allt ifrån kyckling till krypton. Jag kollade lite på kartorna igår http://www.citizen.org/TAFTA-investment-map Vet inte riktig vad jag ska göra med det här än. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [US-EU-TTIP] New online tool to highlight investor-state threat Date: Tue, 22 Oct 2013 23:18:06 +0200 From: Ben Beachy <bbeachy(a)citizen.org> Reply-To: Ben Beachy <bbeachy(a)citizen.org> To: <us-eu-ttip(a)lists.riseup.net> Greetings. We've created a new online tool <http://www.citizen.org/TAFTA-investment-map> that you might find useful to highlight TAFTA/TTIP's investor-state threat. It's a map of the 75,000 foreign-owned firms in the U.S. and EU that would be granted extraordinary investor privileges under the deal (as currently proposed), creating unprecedented exposure for both governments to investor-state attacks on health, environmental, financial and other safeguards. That's 24,000 U.S. subsidiaries of EU-based corporations and 51,000 EU subsidiaries of U.S.-based corporations that would be given greater rights than domestic firms and whose parent companies would be empowered to bypass domestic courts in launching claims against government policies and actions before extrajudicial tribunals. The maps, which are an overlay of Google maps, allow users to zoom in to see the foreign investors in their communities that could take advantage of the deal's investor privileges to demand taxpayer compensation for public interest safeguards. Feel free to use and distribute as you see fit: http://www.citizen.org/TAFTA-investment-map.

Hej! Jag har inte förstått så mycket av dataskyddsfrågan i EU trots att det är årets viktigast fråga för oss som bryr oss om digitala rättigheter. Men ikväll röstar i alla fall LIBE.

Når EU över Tor
by Linus Nordberg 21 Oct '13

21 Oct '13

Hej! Av en slump upptäckte jag nyss att jag kan komma åt både [EU-kommissionen] och [domstolen] över Tor. Jag har tidigare klagat [1] på att detta inte fungerat. Oklart om det är medvetet och permanent men jag är glad.
