World day against cyber-censorship - 12 March 2012 - 0 views

  •  
    Reporters Without Borders Home The Enemies of the Internet The Map of Cyber−censorship Netizen Prize Cyber-tag What you can do Affiche 12 Mars 2012 World day against cyber-censorship World Day Against Cyber-Censorship (on 12 March 2011) is intended to rally everyone in support of a single Internet without restrictions and accessible to all. Never have so many countries been affected by some form of online censorship, whether arrests or harassment of netizens, online surveillance, website blocking or the adoption of repressive Internet laws. Netizens are being targeted by government reprisals. Around 120 of them are currently detained for expressing their views freely online. World Day Against Cyber-Censorship pays tribute to them and their fight for Internet freedom. The Enemies of the Internet In 2011, netizens were at the heart of the political changes in the Arab world and elsewhere. They tried to resist the imposition of a news and information blackout but paid a high price. At the same time, supposedly democratic countries continued to set a bad example by yielding to the temptation to prioritize security over other concerns and by adopting disproportionate measures to protect copyright. Internet users in "free" countries have learned to react in order to protect what they have won. More than ever before, online freedom of expression is now a major foreign and domestic policy issue.

Warum der Kino.to-Bust gut und richtig ist » F!XMBR - 0 views

    "Bevor F!XMBR gegründet wurde, habe ich mich hier und da auf diversen Foren rumgetrieben. Die meisten Foren hatten eine spezielle Ecke, in der Warez & Co. jeglicher Art getauscht wurde. Damals gab es so etwas wie ein eisernes Gesetz: Warez gegen Geld wurde geächtet, wer die Software länger nutzte, bezahlte schlussendlich dafür und kaufte sich das Original. Es war eine Frage der Ehre. Ich habe einmal für einen Bekannten eine ganz spezielle Software gesucht, die eher selten war, die er testen wollte, bevor er sie beruflich einsetzte. Ich startete die Suchanfrage und auf die Rückfrage, wofür ich sie denn brauchen würde, antwortete ich: «Ein Bekannter braucht sie beruflich.» Ich vergaß zu erwähnen, dass er selbstverständlich bei Gefallen die Software kaufen würde, somit nicht nur Anspruch auf Support und Updates hat, um nur zwei Vorteile zu erwähnen. Gegen den Shitstorm, der mich auf diesen einen Satz erreichte, sind die Shitstorms der Piraten ein laues Lüftchen. Vergangene Woche wurde die Webseite Kino.to hoch genommen und die Betreiber festgesetzt. Das ist gut und richtig so."

    "Weniger Software mit beschränkten Rechten, Zwei-Faktor-Authentisierung, längere Passwörter und zeitlich begrenzte Rechte für den IT-Support sollen das Bundestagsnetz nach dem vor sechs Monaten aufgedeckten Hack sicherer machen."

  • “They’ve unfairly judged me and judged my character based on something I made for entertainment,” he said on Wednesday. “I have the right to post videos on the Internet on my own time.”
  • “If something is considered detrimental to the positive moral tone of the school, it doesn’t necessarily have to happen inside the school [for us to get involved],” said Andrea Pidwerbecki.

  • Mr. Christie created the videos on his laptop for presentations in economics and politics classes over the course of the last school year.

  • said there is no clearly-defined line on how far a school can regulate student activity off-campus.

    "Jack Christie's videos are the kind of thing you see every day on the Internet. Crudely animated stick figures swear and fire automatic rifles. There are off-colour jokes about everything from race to pedophilia to cocaine. Absurd incidents - such as the assassination of an evil talking mango - seem to happen at random."
