  • The judge said "there is just no evidence that there was anything other than sort of intelligent inquisitiveness and the pleasure of being able to—what's the expression—surf through these various computers"[2] and stated that Assange would have gone to jail for up to 10 years if he had not had such a disrupted childhood.[27]

      It is interesting to see the effect Assange's troubled childhood had on his world views.
  • The fact that his fellow students were doing research for Pentagon's DARPA was reportedly a factor in motivating him to drop out and start WikiLeaks

shared by Jaclyn Udell on 16 Mar 11 - Cached
  • In computing, a mirror is an exact copy of a data set. On the Internet, a mirror site is an exact copy of another Internet site. Mirror sites are most commonly used to provide multiple sources of the same information, and are of particular value as a way of providing reliable access to large downloads. Mirroring is a type of file synchronization. A live mirror is automatically updated as soon as the original is changed.
  • To provide access to otherwise unavailable information. For example, when the popular Google search engine was banned in 2002 by the People's Republic of China, the mirror elgooG was used as a way of effectively circumventing the ban.

      This is kind of confusing. Why is it that this more technological discussion on the internet is uncommon. If it is important that we understand these concepts to understand technology, privacy etc., why isn't it always accessible? Do those you understand these concepts purposely make it inaccessible to those who do not?
  • The question he didn't even know to ask is, "What are safe and secure computing and online practices?"
  • how to think about adversaries online, what is ssl, what it means, what are phishing, viruses, botnets, and state-sponsored malware. By the end of the 4th hour, he understood how tor is different than a simple vpn or proxy server, and when to use tor and when it isn't needed. 3.5h of that discussion was basic operational, computer, and online security and safe practices.

      Is it a problem when even people who you would except (or at least hope) understand how the internet works do not? This really highlights the lack of education surrounding th internet.
  • Look at the infrastructures of google, facebook, yahoo, and microsoft to see the challenges that lie ahead for these tools.

      I had never really thought about the infrastructure, specifically the money, required to develop the internet.
  • who uses and how they use it matters
  • What one should or should not do is policy and law, what one can actually do or not do is technology.

      Good quote
  • 1 billion people are online in some way
  • what a proxy is
  • technology exists to circumvent internet censorship
  • Technology is agnostic, who uses and how they use it matters.
  • Circumvention, anonymity, and privacy tools used in a free world can be a minor annoyance,
  • i.e. wikileaks used wikis, ssl, email, and yes, tor, but in the end, it's an annoyance. We don't have people in the streets rioting trying to overthrow our govt. Wikipedia uses the same technology in wikis, ssl, and email. Everyone loves Wikipedia and considers it a net positive.
  • technology exists to circumvent internet censorship
  • In the 1930s, the feds and police warned of mass chaos if the interstate highway system was built in the US. The ability for criminals to quickly transit between cities was of grave concern.

      I like this analogy about internet security

    What is the line between moral and immoral? Who determines what is moral or "net positive"?

    Interesting brief talk about Internet security and the role of proxy technologies, esp under repressive regimes. Though check out the comments too. Clearly there are downsides and social hazards to proxy technologies too.

      This might be an interesting topic for more research. How have different groups reacted to the leaked documents?

      Are there circumstances where the Wikileaks are specific enough that the source ultimately comes out? If so, does this dissuade people from potentially revealing information?
  • While we are obligated by to protect our sources, it is clear that the information comes from an organization which has been intercepting and archiving US national telecommunications since prior to 9/11.
