by grarpamp 19 Mar '18

19 Mar '18

Larken Rose vs Adam Kokesh great debate on Anarchast. Topics include: debating the usefulness of using the political system to further the cause of Anarchism, democracy is inherently bogus, is any degree of statism acceptable, Ron Paul is at least a voluntarist, declaring the federal government of no authority, a practical way out of statism, people waking up en-mass, does the president have the power to remove the post of president, the Libertarian takeover of the libertarian party, political authority is fake and illegitimate, principal vs pragmatism...

Haspel was appointed to the post by President Donald Trump in February 2017. The information submitted to the GBA by ECCHR on 6 June 2017 documents Haspel’s role in the torture of detainees in 2002 at a secret CIA prison in Thailand. In the dossier, ECCHR argues that Haspel oversaw the daily torture of detainees at the black site in 2002 and failed to do anything to stop it. “Those who commit, order or allow torture should be brought before a court – this is especially true for senior officials from powerful nations,” said ECCHR’s General Secretary Wolfgang Kaleck. “The prosecutor must, under the principle of universal jurisdiction, open investigations, secure evidence and seek an arrest warrant. If the deputy director travels to Germany or Europe, she must be arrested.” >From this shortlink turd in wrong thread, see above instead. https://t.co/jlLhBHSKqF

https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2018/03/07/dems-m07.html https://icwatch.wikileaks.org/ An extraordinary number of former intelligence and military operatives from the CIA, Pentagon, National Security Council and State Department are seeking nomination as Democratic candidates for Congress in the 2018 midterm elections. The potential influx of military-intelligence personnel into the legislature has no precedent in US political history. https://t.co/jlLhBHSKqF

What everyone is saying about mobile OS security is wrong
by Ryan Carboni 18 Mar '18

18 Mar '18

http://www.zdnet.com/article/google-android-security-report-2017-we-read-it… Google Play has given Google more control over security. Like Apple's App Store, one central app distribution point gives Google more security control. Google noted that Android devices that only download apps from Google Play are nine times less likely to get a PHA than devices from other sources. Google Play Protect protects almost two billion devices. But is the above precisely correct? https://source.android.com/security/reports/Google_Android_Security_2017_Re… While all Android devices benefit from protections built into the platform, Android devices with Google Play services have an additional layer of defense to keep them safe. Google protects these devices right out of the box with Google Play Protect, our built-in device, data, and apps security scanning technology. No it is not, Google Play apps are scanned using a cloud anti-virus program. What else is special about Google Play? https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/jan/23/how-google-controls-andr… Manufacturers can be refused a licence if they do not meet Google's requirements. Google does not charge for a GMS licence, but any company producing an Android device will need a certificate from an authorised testing facility in order to apply for the licence. That often incurs fees. One source told the Guardian that the fee varies and is negotiated on a case-by-case basis, with one example costing $40,000 for a batch of at least 30,000 devices. A separate source said that in another deal, a testing facility quoted $75,000 to test 100,000 devices. And rather recently, Joseph Cox said in tweets within hours of each other that the US government shutdown a phone maker that could only sell secure Blackberries to drug dealers and that a judge signed a warrant for any Google location enabled apps. For some reason, the Tor Project recieves more free PR than any business providing a phone remotely resembling anything that is desired by civil libertarians. You people don't notice anything. At all. You people never accomplish anything useful you want, ever. It is extremely trivial for Google to make Android more secure, create an app anti-virus API, require security updates within one month of the issue being discovered for Google Play access, etc. And the question about whether devices should be rooted or not by the user is pretty simple. An unrooted device is a production environment designed to be secure by hundreds of people, and the occasional bug bounty. A rooted device is a development environment whose security is owed to anyone with physical access to it.

Adrian Lamo, the scumbag who set @xychelsea up, is dead, at 37 years old. Cause of death unstated. Also note he wasn't homeless as has been said. That's an insult to street people everywhere. He lived with mommy and daddy... at 37 ... Rr
