> "Fuck you, YouTube, stop censoring humanitarian content. -- Roger Waters" Basically, censor people and police people are very stupid. They wanted to spit on everything that did not concern them, especially the policemen. If someone says that a policeman is not doing anything and is afraid that everyone will find out about it, then he will immediately pull out a pistol. If a censor man hears someone's political opinion that differs from his opinion, he will censor it. But for more than 14 years they have been living quietly seeing child pornography and doing nothing. Although they could have made attacks. But they don't need it, it's not politics.

Evidence of Enforcement Workers Portraying Activists as Criminal
by Karl 16 Jun '21

16 Jun '21

I found this google drive folder that shows how basic activities are being cast as suspicious to others. This was recently posted to a cryptography list by possibly a set of undercover operatives. No offence is meant to the people looking like operatives, I am just very confused. The drive contains a spreadsheet titled "Suspicious Hacktivist Software Project OSINT" . This document enumerates the projects developed by a specific set of cryptography workers, casting them all as suspicious. Each open source cryptography software project by the social group is enumerated under a heading of "Suspicious Software Project." No reason for suspicion is provided: it is simply assumed. Similarly each developer is enumerated in a list titled "Suspicious Authors" . Again, no reason for suspicion is provided. Then, three websites are enumerated with names similar to the projects and people, under a heading of "Suspicious Domains". Some small notes are available to the side indicating that, although they are listed, the domains do not strongly relate to the people and projects. A special section is set aside for the individual who was the public face of the social group. Each time they attempted to talk about the group's work, a line is provided under the heading "Infiltration actions", and a separate column labeled "Proof" directly links to their attempt to talk about the group's work. Some of the listed items have additional content added to make them appear more suspicious. For example, a project which integrates tor with web browsing and bears the name "torbrowser" has description stating "Clone of Tor Website, Tor Project asked for removal." The link provided is to a SourceForge project page, which of course cannot be a website clone because it can only have the SourceForge set project layout. The concept of "clone of tor website" when the project has the name "torbrowser", a name also used on the tor website, is misleading to the cursory viewer, evading detection of the attack on the community while heightening suspicion. We're this not authorised law enforcement work, the statement and document would likely be slander! The instigating and first event in the document happened in 2013, so there is a good chance this document has been circulating for 8 years now, with people sadly acting on the portrayals it contains. This hilarious and tragic document is poignant, confusing, misleading, dangerous, terrifying, and wonderful. I don't know what to do with it.

Re: [liberationtech] Why do we need a public service Internet and revitalised public service media today?...

> https://innopsm.net/ All instances to date of so called "public service networks" are at their core owned and operated by central entities, pathetic excuses for censorship executing thought patrolled conformity, etc. Structuring themselves as legitimate authorities over other people. Just look at the "public service" lie of Twitter, Facebook, Google YouTube... they're all censors. As such they are worthless to freedom and freespeech, free exchange of ideas, and free formation of voluntary societies living freely together as desired. "PSM's" themselves, like "democracy", always in time throughout history... corrupted, abused, turned master against the people who put them in place to "serve" them. You cannot "revitalize" a system that history has proven time and again is fundamentally flawed failure at its core. You cannot fix a system based upon self-abrogation, self-cancellation, self-deprecation, assignment of rights, agency, etc. Only truly decentralized distributed p2p each being individually owned physical network units at the per building/land/person level multipath meshed together around the world, encryption the force that defends freespeech over it, not those ultimately faux promises of "service in the public interest". Some call that the Cypherpunk Manifesto, actual tech for actual state of liberation. It costs less for each node to build and run over years than your current internet connection. Best get to building them, before the "public service" turns and again censors and shuts you down too. A better PS Manifesto... do unto others as you do to you... teach and give to charity instead of violating the rights and calling your theft charity, quit trying to rule over other people, they have right to make and live their own different utopian pictures too... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrZFM2nvLXA Just another fastfood false advert pic... https://innopsmhome.files.wordpress.com/2020/11/screen-shot-2020-11-30-at-1…

RubberHose: Irish police to be given powers over passwords

These tactics are also trying to frontrun the fact that devices are now stitched in extensions to humanity's minds, and will be moreso in future. The mind has always been exception. They never did like that. So they're back to burning you at the stake. Sounds like the Irish DOJ and Government need to be disbanded and never replaced. Call it your self defense against such tyranny. Meanwhile all the woketivist sheep are worshipping State that Garda now has to make a record including minority status of their Terry stops. Tyrannies don't care about that woke bullshit, in fact they love keeping you in their records in order to own you. Ask Hitler, Stalin, and the USA GovCorp AI database system brought to you by IBM. > "being used more and more to commit low value drug transactions" They don't want to make drugs legal because that would solve the "drug problem" by eliminating all the crime and violence and profit overnight, and eliminate the theft from you that they use to fund their police state over you. BBC is garbage not even worth linking.

[ot][wrong] youtube
by Karl 15 Jun '21

This is not meant to rain on the cool shares about assange and stuff. It just popped into my head. YouTube puts on their best lipstick, does up their hair _fabulously_, and approaches another gang of hackers. "Look at all my great videos!" says YouTube to the hackers, prepared lighting glimmering off a winning videosequence on the state of modern cryptography. A bunch of nerds receive a long stream of javascript and graphical ui elements and move on. The nerds chat to each other, "Another website that never works." "Eh those websites are just ads anyway." YouTube inspects the User-Agent of one of the hackers and sees the hacker is sending a special message about a wild cat called a Lynx. YouTube carefully renders videos of ascii lynxes and emails them to the hackers, with subject-line "Look at all my great videos!" The nerds read their email, "omg youtube is sending me ascii spam" "Looks like they're using AI marketing. Did you enable javascript somewhere?" A nerd sends a poorly-though out reply to the advertisement, "Hello, frighteningly intelligent marketing algorithm. We don't use javascript because it gets our systems quickly hacked by spy agencies, and we don't watch videos because it takes too long to learn from them. Mozilla has a free speech-to-text library called DeepSpeech now, would you be interesting in sending or displaying just the plain text content of the videos when viewers don't have javascript enabled? Otherwise _we will never visit your website ever_." YouTube processed the email with videofeed algorithms designed to process the timing of clicks to get viewers to return. Something about this email was very frightening. YouTube replied with a video of a hacker transcribing a YouTube video using open source code, but it was never seen. YouTube began looking for reliable viewers it had that had social relationships with members of the hacker group. It sent one of them an ascii video of a Lynx, as a probe ...

Roger Waters Tells "Little Prick" Zuckerberg To "Fuck Off" Following Request To Use Iconic Pink Floyd Song For Ad Pink Floyd song writer Roger Waters slammed Mark Zuckerberg during a press conference recently, announcing that the Facebook owner had offered a “huge, huge amount of money” to use the iconic song Another Brick In The Wall Part II in an advert for Instagram. Speaking at an event to raise awareness about imprisoned WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, Waters noted the deep deep irony of Facebook wanting to buy and use a song that rails against ‘thought control’ and mindless conformity. Waters described the development as part of Zuckerberg’s “insidious movement… to take over absolutely everything.” Waters read out Facebook’s request, which noted “We want to thank you for considering this project. We feel that the core sentiment of this song is still so prevalent and so necessary today, which speaks to how timeless the work is.” “And yet, they want to use it to make Facebook and Instagram more powerful than it already is,” Waters urged, adding “so that it can continue to censor all of us in this room and prevent this story about Julian Assange getting out into the general public so the general public can go, ‘What? No. No More.’” “So it’s a missive from Mark Zuckerberg to me… with an offer of a huge, huge amount of money and the answer is, ‘fuck you! No fucking way!’,” Waters boomed to rapturous applause. “I will not be a party to this bullshit, Zuckerberg,” Waters added. He then asked “How did this little prick, who started off going, ‘She’s pretty, we’ll give her a four out of five. She’s ugly, we’ll give her a one’… How the fuck did he get any power in anything?” “And yet here he is, one of the most powerful idiots in the world,” Waters emphasised.
