NYT on German Net Police
by John Young 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

The New York Times reports on page one the German prosecution of a woman who linked her home page to Radikal. It reviews XS4ALL's role, describes Radikal and its mirror sites and links to them all: http://www.nytimes.com/library/cyber/week/060697germany.html It says that Kohl is determined to find a way to police the Net in spite of technical work-a-rounds. Recall a previous report that Kohl and other heads of state are to meet in Denver on June 20-22 to plan a global attack on "cyber-terrorism," including the spread of encryption: http://jya.com/denver.htm

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I received this in the morning CNET news: HOW PRIVATE IS YOUR NET SURFING? FBI VS. CDT BATTLE WILL DECIDE http://www.news.com/Radio/index.html?nd At the FTC's online privacy hearings next week, the debate will turn on the FBI's right to "intercept" information on the Net. Listen to CNET Radio to see why the Center for Democracy and Technology wants the spooks to back off. So where does the FBI think they get their 'right' to intercept net traffic? Who knows, but I'm sure its already happening and will continue to happen no matter what the FTC rules.

The same as those righteous pastors who nudged us youngsters to sow oats across the Rio Grande to protect the virtue of innocents who were delighted to sneak away to join us and the mestizos in the dry creek bed just outside town. The same as the generals and pols who now hector and lecture us to deny their seignorial infidelities and cover-ups. Heads of state, leaders of armies, defenders of law, hah! Best show in years, watching these pigfesters finger each other while seen-it-all Virtue and Justice laugh and crook up the next quaverer ashaking.

What an opportunity for street theater *that* might be... Excellent suggestion, Agent Provocateur (AP) Bob. There is surely a PR connection between the McVeigh trial and the cyber-terrorism summit. That promo's crucial for the counterterrorism juggernaut. Now, what would be the cyber-version of street theater? For examp, the security arrangements for the trial will be broadened, and artfully leaked to the Denver-ensconced and equipped media, to promote and protect the priceless Derrieres of State. But what might cyber-terribles do to work-a-round the highly classified meat protections? Confidential commo is crucial to yarping pols and talking heads, uplinks and unedited feeds are going to be zapping 'round the globe. What liberating theatrics could be exhibited spoofing, cracking, hacking, phreaking these urgent communiques to ardent tax-henchers and sofa-ensconced tubers. Denver's Judge Downes sent a missive in plaintext to IRS, a spit in the bucket another Bob said. What about a bigger oyster hawk at the lens and mikes of the leaders of the free worlds? Do nothing illegal, for sure, just civilly disobedient. (We'll put Downes's 17-age ruling up in a while.)
