Red virtual, banco de datos para plagiarios | Ediciones Impresas Milenio - 0 views

  • Estas páginas no sólo están exhibiendo a una persona, sino que dan información de quién compone la familia, dónde y cómo vive y dónde estudia. Esto crea la posibilidad de un secuestro”, aseguró Eduardo Muriel, investigador privado con más de 40 años de experiencia en el negocio de la seguridad.
  • ¿Fotografías de viaje esquiando en Valle de Bravo, Tequesquitengo o de fiesta en París o Disneylandia?
  • En Venezuela, otro país que atraviesa una crisis de secuestros, la consultora Informática Forense admite que estas redes son un claro riesgo para sus usuarios.
  •  
    In Mexico and other Latin American countries there have been some questions raised on how kidnappers can get precise information of potential victims and their spending power: friends, lifestyle, travels. If social networks like Facebook are a potential tool for criminals, should they be regulated by the government? Is it the media or the government's fault if such a use is being made? I am looking for references in English regarding this problem.

Is Obama's Grass Roots movement failing? - 0 views

  •  
    Obama's "Organizing for America" was an attempt to channel digital political organizing toward an established candidate. It was the first time a mainstream candidate used the internet effectively to organize. But now they're using it to organize while in government... will it continue to work? Perhaps the fact this year's election is still 9 months away is the problem.

Facebook Does Care What You Think About the Redesign-Sort Of - Techtonic Shifts Blog - Newsweek.com - 0 views

  •  
    I found this article interesting as it gives a good description of user control and encouragement - a form of governance - through site architecture. Particularly interesting was the discussion around how changing one button's position increased that button's clicks by 10%.

Google blames 'Great Firewall' for China search disruptions | The Australian - 1 views

  • The Great Firewall is actually a collection of technological tools to prevent Chinese users from seeing foreign internet content that the government doesn't like. It blocks some sites entirely and disrupts connections to others that contain pages with sensitive terms.
  •  
    Seeing google's step out from the users' view, people are angry at what the government has done.

  •  
    "A national review of computer game classification laws is currently in progress and work is also under way to develop proposals to improve compliance by retailers."" The article also leads with the factlet that Aust is one of only Western nations WITHOUT an R18+. On this front, the current internet governance proposals looks like a lay down misere.

Conservative Blogger Urges Obama Assassination on Twitter - DailyFinance - 0 views

  • As Congress entered the final round of debate Sunday over the controversial health insurance reform bill, a self-described conservative blogger used his public Twitter account to urge the assassination of President Barack Obama. U.S. Secret Service spokesperson Max Milien confirms to DailyFinance: "We are aware of the actual posting and are actively investigating." A request for comment from a Twitter spokesperson hasn't been returned.See full article from DailyFinance: http://www.dailyfinance.com/story/the-secret-service-is-investigating-a-conservative-bloggers-oba/19408303/?icid=sphere_copyright
  • Forell's tweets used the Twitter "hashtag" of "#tcot" -- which stands for "top conservatives on twitter." That's a list of conservatives on Twitter. Using such a filter makes it easy to find tweets by anyone who uses that tag (#tcot, in this case) to search Twitter.See full article from DailyFinance: http://srph.it/dCqW2m
  • "Let us all renounce the harsh rhetoric about the POTUS [president of the U.S.]. Several, including myself, hv used inappropriate language. Let's remain civil! #tcot."See full article from DailyFinance: http://srph.it/dCqW2m

Pentagon Trains Workers to Hack Defense Computers - 0 views

  •  
    The Pentagon receives thousands of attempts to from hackers/crackers to access their defense computers. They are deciding to fight fire with fire and train their employees to understand hacking so they can be prepared. Sounds like a good idea, just maybe one they should have had years ago...

    When government censorship becomes too much for a company to handle. What will Google decide, stay in the most populous country, or leave because censorship has become too much.

Little fanfare for 7th anniversary of war in Iraq - Sacramento News - Local and Breaking Sacramento News | Sacramento Bee - 1 views

  • Iraqi journalists look at screens Tuesday, March 16, 2010, showing the partial preliminary results in Baghdad, Iraq. Dozens of Iraqi journalists waited hours for results in Iraq's election. What they got Thursday, March 18, 2010 was a single CD containing the information and instructions to make copies themselves, prompting a mad dash to the nearest Internet cafe where they paid $1.20 each to find out who was ahead in the ballot coun
  •  
    This is a clear example of a government trying to control the information flow with old techniques (only one CD for all journalists) and how the Internet comes into play to provide electoral information. Interesting to compare vs the 2008 US elections, where pundits and commentators could get info from various sites. Can the Internet change results?

Australian Government takes direct attack on Google in internet filtering spat - 0 views

  •  
    Minister Stephen Conroy challenges Google's credibility in response to the search engine giant's criticism of Australia's looming mandatory filtering. Interestingly he also says he is unaware of complaints from Hilary Clinton - which his department responded to in the previous article I posted. Interesting...

The Digital Divide Will Ensure a Broadband Ghetto - 0 views

  •  
    This article is a case against the FCC and the broadband plan as it doesn't support the building of an extensive network accessible to all. The author however shows how the private sector could come up with solutions to that problem. It is a very interesting point of view on the digital divide as well as on internet governance issues.

Cyberwar Hype Intended to Destroy the Open Internet - 0 views

  •  
    This article discusses how Michael McConnell (former director of national intelligence), has suggessted that "we need to re-engineer the Internet to make attribution, geo-location, intelligence analysis and impact assessment - who did it, from where, why and what was the result - more manageable." Under the guise of protecting the state, it deems the "netizens," as possible enemies of the state.

War game reveals U.S. lacks cyber-crisis skills - 0 views

  •  
    This article discusses how a simulated war game called "Cyber ShockWave" can turn any electronic item, for example, cell phone or computer can be "weapons" used to shut down the Internet during terrorist attack. The notion of privacy and civil liberties, should expect to be ceased for Americans during a crisis of that level. During this mock scenario, it was revealed that "[The United States] don't have the authority in this nation as a government to quarantine people's cellphones." Which during a state of emergency brings to question if Internet carriers should allow their networks to be monitored. How secure is online security, and who is the enemy, becomes difficult to discern, as any threat to national security arises.

Twitter Blog: State of Twitter Spam - 0 views

  •  
    Interesting post about SPAM and keeping it under control in twitter. Particularly pertinent is the point that as a site/community becomes larger the more SPAM there is - ie, the larger the population, the harder the governance.
