[POLITICS] Catalonia, Kurdistan, Crimea, Yugoslavia et al - a comparison of modern seccessionist movements

Governments Injecting Skype WhatsApp VLC with FinFisher

https://www.reddit.com/r/de/comments/71kpo0/finfisher_internetprovider_schi… http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/are-you-being-watched-finfisher-government-spy-too… Are you being watched? FinFisher government spy tool found hiding as WhatsApp and Skype Malware used by intelligence agencies spotted in 7 countries, experts said. Legitimate downloads of popular software including WhatsApp, Skype and VLC Player are allegedly being hacked at an internet service provider (ISP) level to spread an advanced form of surveillance software known as "FinFisher", cybersecurity researchers warn. FinFisher is sold to global governments and intelligence agencies and can be used to snoop on webcam feeds, keystrokes, microphones and web browsing. Documents, previously published by WikiLeaks, indicate that one tool called "FinFly ISP" may be linked to the case. The digital surveillance tools are peddled by an international firm called Gamma Group.

Tim Berners Lee: The Pedo Spending W3C $$$ on CP.
by Cecilia Tanaka 03 Oct '17

03 Oct '17

Hi Hi ! END OF THE WEB: Private Elite Club W3C Controls Future of Internet; Wants DRM for All Web Content. TL;DR: Web standards being developed by the W3C will make it difficult, and legally dangerous for you to use any content (just video for now, but it will expand to all web content) without the permission of the owners, i.e., you want to make a commentary, redpill, meme, joke, etc., video containing literally any piece of data generated by someone else (especially a corporation), e.g., part of an advertisement, news broadcast, movie, tv show, jootube show, web article etc.? Too bad. Internet’s over. Go home. --- BACKGROUND: >From the W3C website "The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is an international community where Member organizations, a full-time staff, and the public work together to develop Web standards. Led by Web inventor Tim Berners-Lee (the pedofile who """invented the internet""") and CEO Jeffrey Jaffe…" Members include hundreds of major corporations, Universities, private individuals etc. CONTROVERSY: Early today, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) standards body publicly announced its intention to publish Encrypted Media Extensions (EME) - a DRM standard for web video - with no safeguards whatsoever for accessibility, security research or competition, despite an unprecedented internal controversy among its staff and members over this issue. EME is a standardized way for web video platforms to control users' browsers, so that we can only watch the videos under rules they set. This kind of technology, commonly called Digital Rights Management (DRM), is backed up by laws like the United States DMCA Section 1201 (most other countries also have laws like this). Under these laws, people who bypass DRM to do legal things (like investigate code defects that create dangerous security vulnerabilities) can face civil and criminal penalties. Practically speaking, bypassing DRM isn't hard (Google's version of DRM was broken for six years before anyone noticed), but that doesn't matter. Even low-quality DRM gets the copyright owner the extremely profitable right to stop their customers and competitors from using their products except in the ways that the rightsholder specifies. This will break people, companies, and projects, and it will be technologists and their lawyers, including the EFF, who will be the ones who'll have to pick up the pieces. We've seen what happens when people and small startups face the wrath of giant corporations whose ire they've aroused. We've seen those people bankrupted, jailed, and personally destroyed. At root is the way that DRM interacts with the law. Take security: the W3C's specification says that users' computers should be protected from privacy-invading activities by DRM vendors, but without a covenant, it's impossible to check whether this is happening. Recall that GETflix, one of the principal advocates for DRM at W3C, categorically rejected the narrowest of covenants, one that would protect solely the activity of revealing DRM flaws that compromised user privacy. On the question of accessibility, the W3C has simply ignored the substantial formal and informal objections raised by its members, including members with deep expertise in accessibility, such as Vision Australia, Media Access Australia, Benetech, and the RNIB. These organizations pointed out that having a place for assistive data was nice, but to make video accessible, it was necessary to use computers to generate that data. It's great to say that if you know where all the strobe effects are in 10,000,000 hours of videos, you could add warnings to the timelines of those videos to help people with photosensitive epilepsy. But unless you have an unimaginable army of people who can watch all that video, the practical way to find all those strobes is to feed the video to a computer, after bypassing the DRM. Otherwise, most video will never, ever be made safe for people with photosensitive epilepsy. Multiply that by the unimaginable armies of people needed to write subtitles, translate audio, and generate descriptive audio tracks, and you've exceeded the entire human race's video-annotating capacity several times over—but barely scratched the surface of what computers can (and will be able to) do. SOURCE: https://eff.org/deeplinks/2017/07/amid-unprecedented-controversy-w3c-greenl… https://archive.is/h26nk --- So what exactly is this W3C, how do they operate, and who has a say in what they’re doing? This jootube tech journalist guy (seems like a typical, but earnest, nu male tech guy on jootube, not red pilled or anything. Very normie audience I assume. But doing the only good journalism on this topic outside the EFF.) uncovered something remarkable: https://youtube.com/watch?v=S97TCpuBvnc Vid summary: The W3C does not appear to be a legal entity of any kind. It’s not an LLC, not a non-profit, not anything. It appears to be a completely unofficial private club administered by MIT (http://csail.mit.edu/) the European Research Consortium for Informatics (https://ercim.eu/) Keio University in Tokyo (https://keio.ac.jp/en/) and Beihang University in Beijing (http://ev.buaa.edu.cn/) This unofficial private club collects tens of millions of dollars annually from members (as can be calculated from the member list and annual fees), who pay these fees in order to take part in secret votes (the W3C does not publish vote records, meeting minutes, or take any other measures to make it’s activities acceptable to the public) that will shape the future of the internet. The W3C being an apparently completely unofficial private club, there is no way to know where this money goes. Tim Berners Lee (pedofile) could be spending it all on *cheese pizza* for all anybody knows. Furthermore, because the W3C is a legal non-entity, there’s no way for members of the public to influence this organization, that controls the future of the web, other than paying the fees and participating in the secret votes.

Re: [tor-relays] OS diversity of tor relays (was Re: Relay uptime versus outdated Tor version)
by grarpamp 02 Oct '17

02 Oct '17

> Learning these OS can have other, peripheral benefits Very true. For reference, Solaris has been more or less dead ever since Oracle killed Sun and re-closed it. Now it's officially dead beyond "support" contracts, subject only to any benevolent and heroic zombie efforts, which are extremely unlikely due to its [line]age and license... https://meshedinsights.com/2017/09/03/oracle-finally-killed-sun/ Still, it presents a different attack surface, at least beyond the network application itself, if you can compile on it. Run a few nodes for fun if you want (fun being half the point of running nodes), you can still get the i386/amd64 binaries here... https://www.oracle.com/solaris/solaris11/index.html But as a formal production OS, especially for the non-corporate opensource community since ever, Solaris proper is deader than long decayed and untouchable dead. If you want the Sun family lineage, go with https://www.openindiana.org/ or maybe if you're stuck in the GNU toolchain, https://www.osdyson.org/ or if you want something that's actively maintained with at least some actual "Unix" heritage and unique feel https://www.freebsd.org/ or any other BSD like Open or Dragon or Net. Every Linux / Windows / Apple user owes it to themselves to try something in the BSD family for at least a few months or so. Don't forget Plan9, Open/Free VMS, MINIX, GNU HURD, HP-UX, AIX, FreeDOS, Android, iOS, OSX, etc. Regardless of which overlay network you're using, or plugging nodes into, have fun gettin jiggy wit it :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JcmQONgXJM
