UK: Censors, Tracks and Balkanizes Its Internet; 10yrs for Pirates

https://yro.slashdot.org/story/16/09/14/1420226/gchq-planning-uk-wide-dns-f… UK surveillance agency GCHQ is exploring the use of a national 'firewall' in its fight against cybercrime, according to the organisation's head of cybersecurity. Alongside BT, Talk Talk and Virgin Media, GCHQ will work to filter out websites and email campaigns which are known to contain malicious content. The intelligence organisation believes that the best to way to set up such a blockade would be to build a national domain name system (DNS). In a speech delivered at the Billington Cyber Security Summit in Washington DC, director general for cyber security at GCHQ, Ciaran Martin, said: 'We're exploring a flagship project on scaling up DNS filtering: what better way of providing automated defences at scale than by the major private providers effectively blocking their customers from coming into contact with known malware and bad addresses?' https://yro.slashdot.org/story/16/09/14/1512257/10-years-in-prison-for-onli… The UK Government's Digital Economy Bill has moved a step closer to becoming law after its second reading in Parliament. With unanimous support, the current two-year maximum custodial sentence for online piracy is almost certain to increase to a decade, TorrentFreak reports. From the article: Due to UK copyright law allowing for custodial sentences of 'just' two years for online offenses, anti-piracy groups such as the Federation Against Copyright Theft have chosen to pursue their own private prosecutions. These have largely taken place under legislation designed for those who have committed fraud, rather than the more appropriate offense of copyright infringement. Physical pirates (CDs, DVDs) can be jailed for up to 10 years under current legislation. During the past few years, there have been lobbying efforts for this punishment to apply both on and offline. That resulted in a UK Government announcement last year indicating that it would move to increase the maximum prison sentence for online copyright infringement to ten years. They also urge Google to do something about growing incidents of piracy.

Chelsea Manning Told She Will Receive Gender Transition Surgery

Chelsea Manning (@xychelsea) tweeted at 8:31 PM - 13 Sep 2016 : Unending relief: .mil does right thing; just let me be me https://t.co/wO8Nf1xwMx ====== Chelsea Manning Told She Will Receive Gender Transition Surgery, Her Lawyer Says The military’s decision — which the military will not confirm — follows a recommendation made by Manning’s psychologist more than five months ago. Originally posted on September 13, 2016, 22:24 GMT Updated on September 13, 2016, 23:56 GMT Chris Geidner BuzzFeed News Reporter WASHINGTON — Army officials today informed Chelsea Manning that they will provide her with gender transition surgery, her lawyer tells BuzzFeed News. A lawyer for Manning, the ACLU's Chase Strangio, spoke with Manning on Tuesday after she was informed of the military's decision. Manning, serving a 35-year prison sentence for violating the Espionage Act, received a recommendation from her psychologist in April that she receive surgery related to her gender dysphoria. “I am unendingly relieved that the military is finally doing the right thing. I applaud them for that. This is all that I wanted – for them to let me be me,” Manning said in a statement provided by her lawyers. "But it is hard not to wonder why it has taken so long. Also, why were such drastic measures needed? The surgery was recommended back in April 2016. The recommendations for my hair length were back in 2014," Manning continued in the statement. "In any case, I hope this sets a precedent for the thousands of trans people behind me hoping they will be given the treatment they need." Strangio said that Manning was told on Tuesday that the military made a determination that the Department of Defense's instruction for "In-Service Transition" applies to her. Additionally, according to Strangio, Manning was shown a treatment plan that included information about surgery and the medical team necessary to move forward with that surgery. Strangio added, however, that Manning was told that she must continue to keep her hair short, as required under male grooming standards, until she receives the surgery. Asked to confirm the information provided by Manning's lawyer, Army spokesperson Wayne Hall told BuzzFeed News only, "We cannot and will not discuss the medical needs of individuals." The decision ends a hunger strike that Manning began on Sept. 9, but it does not, at this point, end a hearing scheduled for Manning on Sept. 20 relating to charges resulting from Manning's suicide attempt earlier this summer. "Thankfully the government has recognized its constitutional obligation to provide Chelsea with the medical care that she needs and we hope that they will act without delay to ensure that her suffering does not needlessly continue," Strangio said in a statement. Strangio added, however, that Tuesday's news doesn't alleviate all of the concerns of Manning's lawyers. First, he said, they will continue to monitor the situation to see how quickly the military moves forward with the recommended surgery. Second, Strangio noted, "Certainly, we're going to move forward with our litigation on the hair issue, as that remains a matter of concern." Finally, Strangio said it is the hope of Manning's lawyers that "all charges related to her suicide attempt and the investigation that followed are dropped." No prison inmate — at the state or federal level — has received gender transition surgery. The issue of gender has been highly charged, leading to extensive litigation even in more traditionally liberal states like Massachusetts and California. Although a settlement reached in a California case brought by the Transgender Law Center provided for surgery for Shiloh Quine, Quine's lawyers told BuzzFeed News on Tuesday that the surgery is set for this fall but has not yet happened. Activists opposed to Manning's imprisonment updated an ongoing petition after the announcement of Tuesday's news, stating, "Chelsea Manning ends hunger strike after Army agrees to provide her with needed health care. But they're still threatening to punish her for attempting to take her own life." UPDATE This report has been updated with information about health care for transgender people in prison and activists’ efforts on Chelsea Manning’s behalf. 2016-09-13 19:56:27 ======== I am singing "She is a Lady" and I bet that Steve Kinney is very happy and singing to celebrate too, hihi! ;) I love Chelsea. I love you, Steve. And I love the cypherpunks list! <3

It is marking something like 50% of the list's posts as spam and so forcing me to log into their shitty web interface. It is really amazing that the masters of the universe can't get a fucking spam filter working.

But the job they do may leave her wishing she'd waited until release leading to more emotional problems than she's already experiencing leading to... Let me put it this way. She'll have to go to a civilian doctor on release to get their hack job fixed. Don't know how much 'reorientation' they'll do but it will be, for want of better description, basic, and primitive... Unless ofc the Pentagon wants to show transgenders how far they're willing to support them, to recruit them. But I doubt the latter. No real idea until more information is released about what's intended. Rr
