Gegen das digitale Wettrüsten: Rede beim Antikriegstag 2020 in Tübingen
Liebe Freundinnen und Freunde,
wir wissen mittlerweile, dass auch Forschung im Cyber Valley von den US-Geheimdiensten finanziert wird. Zwei Tübinger Unternehmen wurden dabei als „verbundene Startups“ angegeben, nach öffentlicher Berichterstattung aber schnell von der Homepage genommen. Dort findet sich aber bis heute das Startup eines ehemaligen MPI-Forschers, der nun in den USA am selben IARPA-Forschungsprojekt beteiligt ist, wie seine ehemaligen Kolleginnen am Max-Planck-Institut für biologische Kybernetik. Dieses Startup implementiert mit Anschubfinanzierung des Pentagons Software für Datenverarbeitung auf Servern von Amazon Web Services.

Amazon on Wednesday announced that it is placing a one-year moratorium on police use of its facial recognition technology, Rekognition.

Outrage in Brazil at the killing of an indigenous “guardian of the forest”
“Violence and death threats against the guardians have been happening for years,” Sarah Shenker, a researcher with Survival International who knew Paulo Paulino, said
“There is a lot of impunity. The authorities are unwilling to protect the indigenous lands,” Shenker charged.
“Their racist words and genocidal, anti-indigenous proposals give a kind of green light.”
Greenpeace said the two men were “the most recent victims of a state that refuses to comply with what the constitution determines.”

Civil Rights Groups Ask Legislators To Block Ring’s Surveillance Partnerships With Law Enforcement
Ring has cornered the market. It also has 400+ law enforcement agencies in its pocket. The expansion isn’t slowing and Ring has shown it’s willing to speak on behalf of the government through press releases and to edit the government’s statements if it doesn’t like what’s being said. This isn’t normal. And the potential downsides of allowing cops and private companies to coexist as equal partners in surveillance have just begun to be explored.

Washington Post editor calls Sanders claim about campaign coverage a ‚conspiracy theory‘
Sanders and his campaign have begun arguing recently that a variety of news outlets, including the Post and the Times, are biased in their coverage of his 2020 White House bid.
„We have pointed out over and over again that Amazon made $10 billion in profits last year. You know how much they paid in taxes? You got it, zero! Any wonder why The Washington Post is not one of my great supporters, I wonder why?“ Sanders said in North Conway, N.H. on Monday night, according to CNN.
Amazon’s Ring Is a Perfect Storm of Privacy Threats
Doors across the United States are now fitted with Amazon’s Ring, a combination doorbell-security camera that records and transmits video straight to users’ phones, to Amazon’s cloud—and often to the local police department. By sending photos and alerts every time the camera detects motion or someone rings the doorbell, the app can create an illusion of a household under siege. It turns what seems like a perfectly safe neighborhood into a source of anxiety and fear. This raises the question: do you really need Ring, or have Amazon and the police misled you into thinking that you do?

Ausgebucht: Microsoft löscht verkaufte eBooks
Wenn Ihr jetzt denkt, das geht Euch nichts an, weil Ihr ja nicht bei Microsoft Kunden gewesen seid, sondern etwa Amazon Prime nutzt: Da gibt es dieselben Probleme: Amazon verkauft beispielsweise Filme online und bei den Kunden entsteht der Eindruck, das wäre vergleichbar mit einer gekauften DVD. Aber auch diese Online-Filme können schnell verschwinden, beispielsweise wenn ein Lizenzdeal zwischen einem Filmstudio und Amazon ausgelaufen ist.
Digital-Rights-Management-Systeme waren und sind ein schönes Beispiel für: Digital ist eben nicht immer besser.

The Bezos-National Enquirer Story Has *Everything*
Bezos’s accusation last night that National Enquirer owner American Media Inc. is trying to blackmail him had everything: Extortion, murder, politics, a billionaire’s private parts. It inspired both HuffPost and the elder Post to write the mathematically perfect tabloid headline, which I will not reprint in this wholesome family newsletter. More seriously, this is the latest and weirdest front in a clash of titans pitting the President of the United States against the World’s Richest Man.
I’ve written a post about developments with the National Enquirer and its parent company, AMI. You can find it here:

Every room in her family home was wired with the Amazon devices to control her home’s heat, lights and security system.

Dabei war die Branche in der Vergangenheit durchaus zusammengerückt, wenn Druck von außen aufkam: Als die US-Bundespolizei FBI etwa Apple zwingen wollte, die verschlüsselten Daten eines iPhones preiszugeben, sprangen Google, Facebook und Microsoft dem Konzern zur Seite. Solcherlei Corps-Geist aber kann oder will sich die Branche in Zeiten zunehmender Probleme offenkundig nicht mehr leisten.
Trump holt zum Schlag gegen Amazon aus
Allein die Gerüchte über ein mögliches Vorgehen Trumps gegen Amazon hatten den Börsenwert des Online-Händlers am Vortag zeitweise um 53 Milliarden Dollar einbrechen lassen.

Auch Facebook hatte nach dem Bekanntwerden des Skandals um Cambridge Analytica erheblich Federn lassen müssen.
