#surveillance

Une décennie après que #Snowden ait exposé la #surveillance de masse de la #NSA, seulement environ 1 % des documents ont été publiés! Mais trois faits majeurs peuvent enfin être révélés grâce à une thèse de doctorat en cryptographie appliquée par Jacob Appelbaum.

#YouTube flagged news outlet #AlJazeera almost as propaganda, since they do not like, that they question their power, and moves. Who doesn't like #surveillance, freedom oppression, so censorship, are an enemy of these surveillance capitalist bastards.

They flag PBS as a public broadcast service with no mentions of being funded by the american government, which they obviously do, that's why it is a public media outlet.
Washington Post doesn't get flagged at all.
They mislead you with wording.

#EU #AI #AIAct #Surveillance #Privacy: "As the European Union inches closer to finalising the AI Act, civil society organisations are concerned about the unchecked, discriminatory and mass surveillance due to the use of AI in policing and migration control. The AI Act is an opportunity to prevent such harms by drawing limits on harmful use of AI technology.

115 civil society organisations are asking EU policymakers to regulate the use of AI systems by law enforcement, migration control and national security authorities throughout Europe. The use of AI by these authorities is dangerous for people’s fundamental rights, including the right to freedom of assembly, liberty, the right to asylum, privacy and data protection, the right to social protection, and non-discrimination."

#briefgeheim #surveillance

As I carried out my twice-weekly surveillance RAT this morning it made me wonder just how many other people are still doing surveillance tests?

I know the reports on effectiveness are a little mixed, but I also have plenty of anecdata of symptom-free household members of positive cases returning positive RAT results, so I figure it costs nothing, and _might_ prevent me inadvertently spreading a potentially lethal disease to anyone else.

So, do you #surveillance #RAT for #COVID?

Boosts welcome

#Cybersecurity #Surveillance #Encryption #NSA #Snowden #Privacy: "In the preface, Appelbaum writes that his thesis is the culmination of more than a decade of research into the topic of surveillance. He expresses a political and activist aim by saying that the "machinery of mass surveillance is simply too dangerous to be allowed to exist" and that "we must use all of the tools in our toolbox – economic, social, cultural, political, and of course, cryptographic – to blind targeted and mass surveillance."

He says more has to be done than simply criticize surveillance practices. Cryptography for example, "allows for resistance in a non-violent manner to the benefit of everyone except the ones who are spying on us." From this perspective Appelbaum's thesis discusses various cryptographic implementations to "protect individual liberty, while aspiring to a broader goal of achieving societal liberty."

Throughout his thesis, Appelbaum reveals some new information from Snowden documents that has not been published, but which he had access to during his research that resulted in various publications in media outlets like Der Spiegel, NDR and Le Monde. The new information is only described, so no new original documents were released."

I spent a couple of weeks in #Germany this summer and noticed that most highway drivers consistently maintained speeds pretty close to the posted limit. Then I saw a flash a time or two and realized that speed cameras were everywhere.

I'm unsure how I feel about the trade-off of privacy and security here. While the cameras will work, do we want that kind of persistent monitoring? What do you think?

Surveillance Under the #PatriotAct
"Hastily passed 45 days after 9/11 in the name of national security, the Patriot Act was the first of many changes to surveillance laws that made it easier for the government to spy on ordinary Americans by expanding the authority to monitor phone and email communications, collect bank and credit reporting records, and track the activity of innocent Americans on the Internet. While most Americans think it was created to catch terrorists, the Patriot Act actually turns regular citizens into suspects."

One of the things I became aware of in #COVID19 was how #wastewater #surveillance can be such a useful #publichealth tool to monitor emergence and activity of infections in the community.

The #UK government's apparent climbdown over #EndToEnd #Encryption is not all it seems.

"UK drops 'spy clause' for scanning encrypted chat, admits it's not 'feasible'

"But don't celebrate yet ... it has simply kicked the online safety can down the road, Westminster style..."

The latest attack on #migrants is an attack on their health and privacy. The government has directed the NHS to store Home Office reference numbers in migrants’ health records.

"When we go to a hospital, clinic or doctor’s surgery, we have a right to #privacy and our health records should be confidential. Doctors and nurses shouldn’t have to act on behalf of the Home Office." – ORG Programme Manager @sarahalsherif

2/2 #Wastewater testing was stopped in my county > a year ago and we are flying in the dark. CDC says to mask when community levels are high, but how is anyone to know?
It’s imperative that you continue #wastewater testing throughout the country--and preferably that you expand it. #Covid #surveillance #Biobot

"The continued existence of the powers [in the Online Safety Bill] means encryption-breaking surveillance could still be introduced in the future"

If the government accepts that they can't scan messages without wrecking privacy and security, why not just remove the spy clause from the Bill?

ORG, along with privacy activists, tech companies and security experts, have long warned that it isn't possible to scan messages that use end-to-end encryption without undermining privacy and security.

While this is a victory for all campaigners who've highlighted the dangers of the spy clause to be used for mass surveillance, the powers could still be used in the future.

✊ We continue to fight for the removal of the spy clause.

🚨 BREAKING: The UK government has confirmed it is rowing back on its plans to scan private messages.

They've finally back down with an announcement that Ofcom won't use powers in the spy clause contained in the Online Safety Bill until it's 'technically feasible' to do so.

They've conceded that no current technology exists that would protect privacy or avoid breaking encryption.
