Drunken Police officers in Belgium - 0 views

  •  
    We talked a lot about enforcement last week in class. This youtube clip is a massive hit in the Netherlands since last week, two drunken police officers from the little town 'Spa' in Belgium had to lead a carnivals parade 'Laetare de Sart-Tiège' in the right direction. One of them throws up and falls on the floor while the other police officer is too drunk to walk in a straight line. How does this effect enforcements reputation in Belgium?

UK copyright law for the trifecta - 0 views

  •  
    The Digital economy Act in all its glory. There was a LOT of debate over this Act. It was introduced by Lord Mandelson of the Labour party, tossed back and forth between houses with amendments that were argued to the minutest detail, then finally spat out for the public to revile. All ISPs are now required to monitor their subscibers use of listed sites and warn them when they enter a site that enables pirating. They must then record every such warning, giving every subscriber a number, then make the list available to the government when they get a warrant to look for excessive downloaders. Only the government like this idea, because it makes their job easier. I wandered onto one of the listed sites recently in my quest to find Dr Who episodes before they aired in Australia. The message was like driving down the highway and suddenly seeing a police car parked on the side of the road. You might know you haven't done anything wrong (yet) but you still get a scare ...

Spain says mastermind of smashed mega-grid of tainted PCs is at large - chicagotribune.com - 0 views

  • Spanish authorities who dismantled a network of up to 12.7 million virus-infected, data-stealing computers said Wednesday the mastermind of the scam remains a mystery, even though three alleged ringleaders have been arrested.
  • The "botnet" of infected computers included PCs inside more than half of the Fortune 1,000 companies and more than 40 major banks, police said.
  • But the people in custody did not design the malicious software behind the grid; rather they just bought it on the black market,

Users to blame for Facebook vandalism: net industry - 0 views

  • The shocking vandalism of tribute Facebook pages for slain Australian children could have been avoided if only users, not Facebook, put more effort into policing the site, the internet industry says.
  • The incidents led Prime Minister Kevin Rudd to say he was considering appointing an online ombudsman to deal with social networking issues.
  • "The overriding view is that users are not utilising the safety tools that these sites provide, and that was in large part the cause of these recent problems," he said in an interview.

  • "All of the social networking sites need to make safety a stronger and clearer priority than it is and that includes more adequate resourcing," said Nockles, who is now a cyber safety consultant and vice-president of global net safety group I-SAFE.

It's Time to Declare War Against Apple's Censorship - Apple - Gizmodo - 2 views

  • The App Store censorship horse may have been beaten to death, but mainstream German media—whose iPhone applications have been censored by Apple because of its content—are not surrendering. I'm glad. In fact, I hope they win this war.
  • The censorship problem is not only about the 5,000 titillating apps that fell down in flames after Apple's latest puritanic raid
  • Apple took down Stern's iPhone app without notice. Stern—a very large weekly news magazine—published a gallery of erotic photos as part of its editorial content.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • They learnt their lesson, since they haven't published any other material that may offend Apple's "moral police"
  • And it doesn't have to be about Apple or tits. There are plenty of applications that have been deemed blasphemous or offensive by Apple, and banned from publication. Would publications showing a caricature of Prophet Mohamed be taken down as well? That would get Phil Schiller plenty of complaint letters.
  •  
    Apple has taken down two apps from German media, as they were considered offensive. This moves towards censorship could extend to a larger control of editorial content. Do media have to comply?

Kremlin accused of honey-trap campaign against opposition - Telegraph - 0 views

  • The Kremlin has been accused of sanctioning a Soviet-style dirty tricks campaign against opposition politicians using vintage KGB entrapment techniques of money, drugs and glamorous women.
  • The allegations follow the release of a string of videos on the internet purporting to show an opposition politician, a political analyst, and the editor of the Russian edition of Newsweek magazine in compromising situations.
  • Hidden cameras in police cars show the trio apparently offering to bribe their way out of traffic offences, while another video appears to show one of the three, Mikhail Fishman, the editor of Russian Newsweek, snorting cocaine in the company of a semi-naked glamour model.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • He said he grew suspicious when a girl offering to sleep with him offered him cocaine "to relax" minutes after she and a "girlfriend" had foisted a number of bizarre sex toys upon him.
  • The editors-in-chief of a number of leading publications have come out in Mr Fishman's defence. They say they are concerned about "the organised campaign" against him and "the journalistic community as a whole."
  •  
    A politician, a political analyst and the editor of the Russian edition of Newsweek have been, supposedly, framed by the Kremlin in order to discredit them. Videos of them in compromising positions have been distributed in the Internet: the web as a channel through which public opinion can be molded by totalitarian states. Political campaigns could "learn" a lot from the Kremlin's actions...

Justin Bieber's Manager Arrested for failure to tweet - 0 views

  •  
    I know this is a piece of fluff, but it raises some questions for me: 1. Was Twitter the only medium through which this event was advertised? Could there not have been other ways to advertise the cancellation of the signing? 2. Is private Twitter usage able to be publically regulated? If so, to what extent? 3. To what extent is the shopping mall responsible? OHS and Fire codes would have mandated the number of people allowed in an area - should they not have made provision for that? 4. Was the failure to tweet reckless endangerment on the part of the manager, or have the law enforcement agencies taken social networking and used it to increase the level of responsibility a person owes to the general public (at least in this instance)? I'm not saying that the manager is in the right, I'm just wary of the level of importance placed on one aspect of this event. Has the way we operate changed to such an extent as to warrant this sort of police interference?
