Return of the Cyber-Censors
by John Young 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

The Washington Post, November 8, 1995. Return of the Cyber-Censors [Editorial] When the Senate passed its ill-advised "Exon amendment" to the telecommunications bill last spring, which would criminalize the transmission of obscene, pornographic or "indecent" material on the Internet, the measure got an overwhelming 84 votes, many of them from senators who didn't understand the implications of the move. Only a few weeks later, the House went even more overwhelmingly the other way, voting 420 to 4 for an amendment (co-sponsored by Reps. Ron Wyden and Christopher Cox) that would bar the Federal Communications Commission from regulating cyberspace and would instead make it legally easier for commercial Internet providers to use their own technical tools to regulate questionable material. The contrast was the result of a burst of public discussion in which more technologically astute members, including House Speaker Newt Gingrich, caught on to the disturbing fact that the kinds of far-reaching liability imposed by Sen. James Exon's formulation -- hastily adapted from an existing measure on telephone transmission -- would cripple practically any commercial Internet provider and effectively lame the new medium as a venue for moneymaking activity. Now these vastly different measures are in conference committee along with the rest of the telecommunications bill (in other areas of which, we remind readers once again, The Washington Post Co. has some interests). But the seeming clarity afforded by the House response to the Exon amendment and by Mr. Gingrich's appreciation of the need for untrammeled development of the new medium is nowhere to be seen. A letter from Christian Coalition head Ralph Reed, Phyllis Schlafly and other prominent spokesmen for the religious right is urging the conferees toward an Exon-style approach that's as destructive now as it ever was. The House bill also could end up including an amendment sponsored by Rep. Henry Hyde that adds some criminal liability to the transmission of obscene (but not "indecent") images via the new technologies. The argument against "criminalizing" the transmission of "indecent" images via the Internet remains stark and simple, and it goes not to the awfulness of child pornography or even to the ability of parents to control what their children do on the computer (a wide variety of off-the-shelf technological filters now exist that let parents do this themselves) but to the impossibility of regulation by the electronic middleman industries that are developing. Commercial providers such as America Online continue to pass along millions of messages a day, the interactive "newsgroups" unfold quickly and internationally, and the kind of central filtering envisioned by would-be regulators erases the very quality that makes the Internet a live and promising medium -- its inexpensive accessibility. If the Internet were like a telephone system, there would at least be the possibility of identifying a specific "sender" and "recipient." On the Internet it's "receivers" who do the selecting of what to look at and where. Giving those recipients the tools they need remains the way to go. The conferees should resist the urge to censor cyberspace.

Cybercensor in Singapore

17 Dec '03

NY Times, November 8, 1995, Editorial Cyberspace in Singapore. The Internet Threat to Official Censorship "The Internet is like fire," Mr. Yeo said. "If you don't learn how to control it, it will burn you." In Singapore, a little democracy can be a dangerous thing. Singapore. From his 37th-floor office overlooking Singapore Strait, George Yeo can survey the oil refineries and bustling dockyards that helped make Singapore the trade and financial center of Southeast Asia. But the view that interests the Minister of Information and the Arts these days is not the vista beyond his window. It is the image on the computer terminal at his desk. Mr. Yeo, like the rest of Singapore's top politicians, wants his country to be a leader in the manufacture and use of computer technology without relinquishing the Government's chokehold on the dissemination of information in Singapore. Singapore's effort to find a balance point will be closely watched by other Asian countries that mix capitalist economics with authoritarian politics. The difficulty was underlined last week. Even as Mr. Yeo worried about the perils of the Internet, the Government announced it was relocating 500 industrial enterprises to make room for the development of advanced electronics manufacturing plants. Contradictions like that abound in Singapore, a country that eludes simple classification. With its gleaming skyscrapers and shopping arcades, it can seem like Dallas transplanted to the South China Sea. Conversely, the dominance of one political party and the presence of a paternalistic Government can make it feel like a remnant of the Soviet bloc. Salman Rushdie's "Satanic Verses" and Cosmopolitan magazine are banned, yet the city's largest bookstore stocks a selection of contemporary literature and the works of Chee Soon Juan, Singapore's opposition leader. Singapore's gaudy prosperity challenges the American faith that individual liberty is essential for a vital marketplace. George Yeo is the personification of that challenge. Born in Singapore in 1954, educated at Cambridge University and Harvard Business School, he is disdainful of the cacophony and untidiness of American democracy. Like Lee Kuan Yew, the architect and ruler of modern Singapore, he believes the vulnerabilities of his ethnically divcrse city-state can be best handled by a strong government that encourages a sense of community and limits individual rights. But controlling semiconductors is not the same as controlling newspapers, television networks or political opponents. With the aggressive use of libel and slander statutes Singapore's leaders have intimidated the newspapers that publish here, including The International Herald Tribune. To control television broadcasting, the Government has banned household use of satellite dishes. Some political pluralism is permitted, but no one doubts the primacy of Mr. Lee's People's Action Party. Recognizing the risk of bottling up public demand for foreign television broadcasts, Singapore's leaders are wiring the country for cable television. That way viewers will receive many more channels, including MTV, while the Government will still be able to screen out programming it finds objectionable. It is the quintessential Singapore solution. Singapore's approach to controlling cyberspace is equally ingenious, but harder to enforce. Mr. Yeo, essentially, hopes to control the Internet by embracing it. He is encouraging use of the Internet by equipping schools with computers, and establishing systems that allow Singaporeans to link up with the computer network by dialing a local phone number. The catch is that the Government will be able to monitor use of the Internet that goes through local servers, and is already intervening to block material it considers pornographic. The Government has blunted an uncensored Internet forum on Singapore political life by assembling a group of users who make sure the Government's views are represented. Mr. Yeo concedes that more sophisticated and affluent users can outflank many of his defenses by dialing into the Internet through foreign phone systems. His purpose, he says, is to lay down markers for citizens, expecting that most will abide by them. "The Internet is like fire," he said. "If you don't learn how to control it, it will burn you." In Singapore, a little democracy can be a dangerous thing. Philip Taubman -----

There are two ways to make information available/unavailable - by depending on calculations from known data, or by having people agree to publish/delete it. The former method is trustable, but doesn't have time built in to it - either you know stuff or you don't. The latter method is harder to trust - you can build contractual mechanisms to encourage people to keep their commitments, and use crypto methods like splitting shared secrets to limit the impact of some of them not keeping them - but it's basically not cryptographic. Getting people to keep information secret for a while and then publish is possible; that's within their control. Getting people to keep information public, and then delete all the copies they own is possible, but if the information is _public_, anybody in the world could have a copy - deleting it requires finding them all, and getting them all to agree to delete it. That's _much_ harder. You could build a system where an escrow agent keeps a piece of information private, but available upon request, and deletes it on a certain date. That lets you know that _if_ nobody's asked for the information by then, and the agent has done its job, that nobody else will be able to decrypt it. Again, you can secret-share among multiple agents to decrease the impact of defaults (either failure-to-delete or failure-to-deliver.) A related approach is for the agent to provide a service of decrypting data encrypted with the agent's public key, and agreeing only to decrypt data before or after some date specified in the message. Another technique you can use is to for the agent to keep the data until paid for delivery; the retrieval token includes a digital check with an expiration date. In this case, you're trusting the bank to not honor the check after its expiration date, and the escrow agent not to deliver the data without getting paid. For this service, you want checks rather than cash - if the check goes stale, the money is still in your account. #-- # Thanks; Bill # Bill Stewart, Freelance Information Architect, stewarts(a)ix.netcom.com # Phone +1-510-247-0663 Pager/Voicemail 1-408-787-1281

If you are going to take multiple passes, and do top-down and bottom up analysis, then you can't really parse on the fly. It pretty much has to be a batch job, I think. You have to get your data, and then check it. You can't simply *trust* that there is not any corruption, and pass all of your data through. And if you're going to parse in a single pass, then we're back to the problem of monkeys sitting at typewriters and Shakespeare's sonnets. > I figure that 128 bits should _definitely_ be enough (that's what > is in the new premail code now).

Unfortunately, it's not quite that simple. The likelyhood of corruption is not based on each past run. It's just like rolling dice. The odds of rolling boxcars is 1 in 36 (I think) no matter how many prior times, you've rolled boxcars. Twenty passes doesn't influence whether you crap out or not on a single roll. Nothing *remembers* past performance to ensure that something doesn't happen (or happens) many, many times in a row.

Tim is absolutely correct that the market determines the current market value. I mentioned some low value items in the current market and he mentioned some high value ones. However, there is not really a problem in paying for high valued web pages (like the $400/photo consultant report he mentions). The various network payment schemes that have been proposed and implemented will handle these quite adaquatly. What concerns me is building systems that can support low-cost high-volume markets. If I have to pay a penny/page, I am going to ask whether Netscape can use a whole gigabyte disk for its cache and have basically a pay/copy system. If the cost is low enough, I will pay/view and avoid stale data in the cache problems. However, there are very few systems where the transaction costs are low enough to support low-cost high-volume markets.

ACLU Cyber-Liberties Update: Nov. 8, 1995
by ACLUNATL＠aol.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

----------------------------------------------------------------- November 8, 1995 ACLU CYBER-LIBERTIES UPDATE A bi-weekly e-zine on cyber-liberties cases and controversies at the state and federal level. ----------------------------------------------------------------- IN THIS ISSUE: * ACLU Statement and ACTION ALERT on Federal Wiretap Bill * ACTION ALERT on Federal Online Indecency Legislation * State Utility Commissions Consider Online Access and Privacy Issues * News on Electronic Access to Public Information in Washington State * John Perry Barlow Launches Cyberspace Lecture Series Co-Sponsored by the ACLU of Washington * ACLU Student Chapter President at Georgetown University Law Center Writes About Marty Rimm Controversy * Conferences * Online Resources from the ACLU National Office and State Affiliates ----------------------------------------------------------------- FEDERAL PAGE (Congress/Agency/Court Cases) ----------------------------------------------------------------- * ACLU Statement and ACTION ALERT on Federal Wiretap Bill Last week, the ACLU emphatically urged the FBI to withdraw its proposal for greatly increased wiretapping powers. "Given the government's own statements on the usefulness of wiretaps, we can only guess at the FBI's motives," said Laura W. Murphy, Director of the ACLU's National Washington Office. "But if Congress were to allow this system to go into place, we'd have a national surveillance apparatus that would pale in comparison to the infamous security state of the former Soviet Union." "This proposal, Murphy added, "would make the KGB look like privacy advocates." "The proposal would dramatically reduce the privacy rights in the United States because it would -- no matter what the Justice Department says -- result in significant increase in the number of innocent third party conversations intercepted by law enforcement officials," Murphy said. "Already too many innocent conversations -- nearly two million in the last year alone -- are intercepted by federal and local law enforcement wiretaps." According to the government's own statistics, 1,800 innocent conversations are intercepted each and every time a wiretap or other form of electronic surveillance is placed. Just last week, the ACLU joined with the National Rifle Association and a broad coalition of other gun advocates and civil liberties organizations in calling for Congress to institute a 24-point reform plan for federal law enforcement. In a letter to Congress, the groups said that the excesses of Waco and Ruby Ridge demonstrate that Congress and the Administration must begin to reign in the powers of federal police authorities. [The 24-point reform plan and related documents are available on America Online, at keyword ACLU, under "federal law enforcement reforms." For an e-mailed copy of the reform plan, send a message to infoaclu(a)aclu.org with "fed law enforcement reform" in the subject line.] URGENT ACTION NEEDED: -Call the FBI at 202-252-7296 and urge it to withdraw the proposed wiretapping system. You can also find the phone number of the FBI's local field offices at the FBI web site at http://www.fbi.gov. -Call the Attorney General at 202-514-2001 and urge her to order the FBI to withdraw its wiretapping proposal. -Call your members of Congress and tell them to urge the Justice Department and the FBI to withdraw the wiretap proposal. Urge your representatives to oppose any funding for this wiretap scheme. You can reach the Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121 for the Senate and 202-225-3121 for the House of Representatives. -Call Rep. Bob Barr (R-GA), a former federal prosecutor and leading opponent of funding effots for wiretap: Rep. Bob Barr U.S. House of Representatives 1607 Longworth Building Washington, DC 20515 (202) 225-2931 -Call your own telephone companies, both local and long distance, and urge them to oppose the wiretap proposal and to stand up for the privacy rights of their customers instead of becoming the snooping arm of a prying government. ----------------------------------------------------------------- * ACTION ALERT on Federal Online Indecency Legislation The conference committee on the telecommunications bill will soon consider whether to remove provisions that would make "indecency" a crime in cyberspace. On Monday, November 6, we distributed an action alert urging individuals to call Congress to express opposition to any measures to censor the Net. THIS MAY BE YOUR LAST CHANCE TO STOP UNCONSTITUTIONAL RESTRICTIONS ON YOUR RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH IN CYBERSPACE!! [You can find the action alert on America Online, at keyword ACLU, under "threats to civil liberties in cyberspace," or on the Internet at http://www.vtw.org/] In addition to the call to action for individual Net users, the ACLU and People for the American Way obtained signatures from over 75 organizations to a letter opposing the federal online indecency provisions. The letter will be sent to Senator Pressler and Representative Bliley on the conference committee later this week. [After 11/13, you can find a copy of the organizational letter on America Online, at keyword ACLU, under "threats to civil liberties in cyberspace." To receive a copy of the letter via e-mail, send a message to infoaclu(a)aclu.org with "organizations opposed to online censorship" in the subject line.] The ACLU continues to prepare for a constitutional challenge to the online censorship provisions if they become law. Please contact Ann Beeson, beeson(a)aclu.org, if your organization is interested in being a plaintiff in this ground-breaking litigation that will define First Amendment rights in cyberspace. ----------------------------------------------------------------- STATE PAGE (Legislation/Agency/Court Cases) ----------------------------------------------------------------- * State Utility Commissions Consider Online Access and Privacy Issues Many state utilities commissions are considering issues that can affect your online access and privacy rights, from approving caller ID to defining universal access. Online users are urged to stay informed and involved in utilities commission decisions in their states that may affect cyberspace rights. Consumer Project on Technology has put up a list of information about state utility commissions. The list includes contact information for all 50 state utility commissions, and also lists utility consumer advocates in 40 states. See http://www.essential.org/cpt/isdn/contacts.html ----------------------------------------------------------------- * News on Electronic Access to Public Information in Washington State A Washington State task force has been examining the issue of electronic access to information maintained by government agencies. The ACLU of Washington submitted comments commending the task force for requiring some form of free electronic access, and limiting all fees to incremental costs. But the task force was criticized for not paying sufficient attention to privacy, especially increased threats to privacy presented by accumulation of information on individuals from diverse sources. Also in Washington State, King County Superior Court Judge George Finkle ruled that Geographical Information System databases are public records and must be made available to the public for nominal copying fees. (GIS systems are databases that contain information associated with a physical location, such as the location of utility cables, public buildings, roads, demographic information, zoning info, or traffic density.) As in many locations around the country, the City of Bellevue had attempted to charge far higher fees for GIS databases, which were created for government use but also have commercial value. This ruling reaffirms the notion that public information should be available to all, not just those with deep pockets. ----------------------------------------------------------------- * John Perry Barlow Launches Cyberspace Lecture Series Co-Sponsored by the ACLU of Washington The ACLU of Washington began a series of talks in Seattle to explore the impact and implications of the technology revolution on art and culture. John Perry Barlow, former Grateful Dead lyricist and co-founder of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, launched the series on November 3rd. "Cyberspace is largely about conversation that ultimately could include everybody on the planet . . . . Cyberspace can be the greatest venue for freedom of expression humans have ever had," said Barlow. Barlow talked of the spiritual dimension of cyberspace, which he sees as an egalitarian ecosystem with the potential to link "every synapse on the planet." For him cyberspace must be a place where anybody can say anything they think without fear of reprisal. But he tempered his lyrical vision of cyberculture with a warning of the dangers of censorship from elected officials who do not appreciate -- or even understand -- how new forms of communication function. "When I visit Congress, I feel like Tom Paine in the Court of King George," Barlow quipped. ----------------------------------------------------------------- * ACLU-Georgetown University Law Center President Writes Articles on the Marty Rimm controversy Alan Lewine, President of the ACLU student chapter at GULC, has written a series of articles for the Georgetown Law Weekly on the Georgetown Law Journal's involvement in the controversial publication of Marty Rimm's purported study of net porn.
