Signal on the Desktop, Plays FBI Subpoena

The makers of Signal, Open Whisper Systems, profoundly disappointed law enforcement. The app collects as little data as possible and therefore was unable to hand anything useful over to agents. "That's not because Signal chose not to provide logs of information," ACLU lawyer Brett Kaufman told the Associated Press. "It's just that it couldn't." "The Signal service was designed to minimize the data we retain," Moxie Marlinspike, the founder of Open Whisper Systems, told the New York Times. The subpoena came with a yearlong gag order that was successfully challenged by the American Civil Liberties Union. Signal's creators challenged the gag order as unconstitutional, "because it is not narrowly tailored to a compelling government interest." The challenge was successful. In addition to being popularly considered the best consumer encrypted messaging app available, Signal's technology is used by Facebook for Secret Conversations, WhatsApp for encrypted messages, and Google's Allo. Confronted with the subpoena, Marlinspike went to the ACLU for legal counsel. The ACLU responded with a letter saying that even though Signal did not have data the FBI sought, it still strenuously objected (PDF) to the fact the FBI wanted so much information.

Russia bans purchase of foreign non-niche software in Russian state agencies

Import substitution applied to software... http://fortruss.blogspot.ru/2015/11/medvedev-bans-use-of-foreign-made.html Medvedev bans the use of foreign-made software in Russian state agencies Translated by Ollie Richardson for Fort Russ 20th November, 2015 novayagazeta.ru The Prime Minister of Russia, Dmitry Medevdev, has signed a decree prohibiting from 1 January 2016 the purchase of foreign-made software for state needs, reports the press service of the Cabinet. According to the document, customers will now be obliged to buy Russian-produced software. It notes that the initiative is a method of import substitution. The exception is when software has the necessary functional, technical or operational characteristics absent in Russia. To place an order on, for example Microsoft Windows, officials will have to justify the need for this operating system. As reported to "Kommersant" earlier, the official, who asked to remain anonymous, said that a German IT company began to discuss with the Ministry of economic development the possibility of a partial transfer of software production to Russia, in order thus to be able to sell it on government orders. A draft resolution was prepared and submitted by the Ministry of communications and mass communications of the Russian Federation. It was presented to Medvedev earlier in April.

TPI operates a corporate "office", a corporate office has form blanks for all sorts of uses. In particular when liasing with or initiating new parties of all types. As with the "new docs" someone posted for the future, folks are interested in seeing any similar docs applicable to the past. Only TPI knows what they were named.

No, the state mandated Articles and Annuals exist there. NO!, the bylaws (another name for operating agreement), a highly relavant thing for transparency, do not seem to exist anywhere. Whatever other major structural and procedural docs may exist, who knows. Those are just some of the common names for them. Other people can add other names. Worth nothing is that whether or not any doc is [required to be] filed with government agencies, and whether or not it is publicly available from them once filed... is different from what TPI may choose to publish on its own for the community. > You will find their > Articles of Organization and Annual Reports, which contain relevant > information.

Pointless when the AOI says nothing there, and the bylaws aren't available. Nor can community be expected to wade through MA/US law to see if any particular "Officer" or "Director" is granted unwaivable voting rights under law. > Still others appear not yet available.

No user, donor, or interested party should be pushed / required to go private fora like that. It's their right to ask in public, to do so by proxy person or tor etc, and to retain their motivations. And whatever TPI does with such requests is up to TPI. If it's transparent with servicable open fora, it's a non issue. It's also silly to be fielding multiple same requests when a single transparent proactive publication of same will serve everyone. Yes, minutes are very important for transparency. It's extremely unlikely the ED's office did not know, or was not informed, within no more than a few days of the request, probably more like a few hours. Certainly not a few weeks. > The issue you > filed in the tracking system was given medium priority, which seems proper Few could have problem with that.

Re: [WAR] A brief bit of Hillary history.
by Zenaan Harkness 22 Feb '17

My question was, is and shall continue to be, who of the various candidates in the upcoming USA elections, who might get elected to run the USA war machine, would be the least likely candidate to push Russia and or China and or the rest of the world into World War 3, when the economic crunch time for North America finally hits the fan. We know a massive global financial crash is coming, and in previous points of financial collapse, history shows us an almost certainty of a major war following. This bodes EXTREMELY PRECARIOUSLY for all of us on this little blue planet, and suggests that those who vote in the upcoming North American elections ought think carefully about the question above. Those who are onlookers might consider being in contact with anyone they know who will be involved/ voting in the upcoming USA elections, and discover their thoughts on this fundamental question - who is most and who is least likely to start World War 3. Also, look into the preference voting system (like we also have in Australia) if you will be voting, and figure out how your candidate's votes might be applied to other candidates, should your chosen candidate not receive enough votes to be elected. That, or choose your own preferences! Be informed, and let's do our bit towards avoiding World War 3 - if this issue of the potential for the next world war is not handled by us humans, we may just find that sometime in the next 4 years, that we are all faced with a reality where NO OTHER QUESTION EVEN MATTERS, and it's too late to argue or say sorry or I told you so or anything else so pathetic in the face of the lack of the action required to have stopped the problem in the first place.
