Mehrheit der EU-Staaten beharrt auf verpflichtender Chatkontrolle

(February 12, 2025)

Die Kommission will Internet-Dienste verpflichten, die Inhalte ihrer Nutzer auf Straftaten zu durchsuchen und diese bei Verdacht an Behörden zu schicken. (….)

Um das zu legalisieren, gibt es eine vorübergehende Ausnahme der Vertraulichkeit der Kommunikation . Die wurde vor vier Jahren beschlossen und letztes Jahr verlängert. Sie soll nächstes Jahr auslaufen.

WELCOME TO NOSTR

To join Nostr you need a profile, but it is not the usual one that a company generates and manages for you. You create it yourself, no permissions are required.

Nostr is a different experience from the beginning: because there is no central authority taking care of who is who, each user is identified by a cryptographic keypair; don’t worry about the tech slang, it is just a strong password that you will have to keep safe.

This wizard is one of the many ways to bootstrap a Nostr profile that you can later use in other apps. We help you to create your keypair and safely manage it in a few steps. Are you ready?

What is Nostr? ELI5

The aim of ELI5 (explain me like I‘m 5) is to explain difficult things simply. This is urgently needed in our high-tech world, because only by understanding the technologies can we use them properly and develop them further.

I‘m starting my series with Nostr, a relatively new internet protocol.

RESTORING FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND ENDING FEDERAL CENSORSHIP

Section 1. Purpose. The First Amendment to the United States Constitution, an amendment essential to the success of our Republic, enshrines the right of the American people to speak freely in the public square without Government interference. Over the last 4 years, the previous administration trampled free speech rights by censoring Americans’ speech on online platforms, often by exerting substantial coercive pressure on third parties, such as social media companies, to moderate, deplatform, or otherwise suppress speech that the Federal Government did not approve. Under the guise of combatting “misinformation,” “disinformation,” and “malinformation,” the Federal Government infringed on the constitutionally protected speech rights of American citizens across the United States in a manner that advanced the Government’s preferred narrative about significant matters of public debate. Government censorship of speech is intolerable in a free society.

Sec. 2. Policy. It is the policy of the United States to: (a) secure the right of the American people to engage in constitutionally protected speech;

(b) ensure that no Federal Government officer, employee, or agent engages in or facilitates any conduct that would unconstitutionally abridge the free speech of any American citizen;

(c) ensure that no taxpayer resources are used to engage in or facilitate any conduct that would unconstitutionally abridge the free speech of any American citizen; and

(d) identify and take appropriate action to correct past misconduct by the Federal Government related to censorship of protected speech.

Sec. 3. Ending Censorship of Protected Speech. (a) No Federal department, agency, entity, officer, employee, or agent may act or use any Federal resources in a manner contrary to section 2 of this order.

(b) The Attorney General, in consultation with the heads of executive departments and agencies, shall investigate the activities of the Federal Government over the last 4 years that are inconsistent with the purposes and policies of this order and prepare a report to be submitted to the President, through the Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy, with recommendations for appropriate remedial actions to be taken based on the findings of the report.

Trump orders government not to infringe on Americans’ speech, calls for censorship investigation

It’s not yet clear how the order could affect the work that several U.S. agencies do to track false claims that pose threats to election security, including the FBI, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, known as CISA.

SmallTechnology Foundation: About

We’re Laura Kalbag and Aral Balkan (and Oskar the huskamute). We live and work in Bray, Ireland.

Since 2014, we’ve been advocating for regulation of surveillance capitalism, investment in ethical alternatives, and carrying out research and development on ethical alternatives.

After leaving the UK and moving to Ireland, we set up the Small Technology Foundation with the mission to evolve the Internet so each one of us can own and control our own place on it.

We strive to follow the principles of Small Technology in our work.

We don’t take money from surveillance capitalists and we exist thanks to the support of individuals like you.

What is the Small Web?

The Small Web is for people (not startups, enterprises, or governments). It is also made by people and small, independent organisations (not startups, enterprises, or governments).

On the Small Web, you (and only you) own and control your own home (or homes).

Small Web applications and sites are single tenant. That means that one server hosts one application that serves just one person: you. On the Small Web, we do not have the concept of “users”. When we refer to people, we call them people.

Another fundamental difference between the Big Web and Small Web is that on the Big Web we trust servers and distrust clients whereas on the Small Web, we distrust servers and trust clients. We treat servers as dumb delivery mechanisms. The client – under the control of the person who owns the site or app – is the only trusted environment.

40 maps that explain the internet

(June 2, 2014)

The internet increasingly pervades our lives, delivering information to us no matter where we are. It takes a complex system of cables, servers, towers, and other infrastructure, developed over decades, to allow us to stay in touch with our friends and family so effortlessly. Here are 40 maps that will help you better understand the internet — where it came from, how it works, and how it‘s used by people around the world.

Exposed: How Israeli Spies Control Your VPN

(September 11th, 2024)

Kape Technologies is a major player in the online privacy world, one of the three giants that collectively control the market. It owns many of the world’s top VPNs, including ExpressVPN, CyberGhost, Private Internet Access, ZenMate, Intego Antivirus, and a host of tech websites that promote its products.
(…)
Although it is headquartered in London and employs more than 1,000 people worldwide, Kape Technologies maintains a distinctly Israeli flavor. This begins with its owner, Teddy Sagi. Born in Tel Aviv, the tycoon, who previously spent time in prison for financial crimes, is estimated to be worth $6.4 billion, making him among the top ten richest Israelis.
(…)
Company co-founder and longtime CEO Koby Menachemi began his tech career as a developer for Unit 8200, while Liron Peer, the company’s current head of accounting, also served three years in the controversial military unit. Meanwhile, Menachemi’s successor as Kape CEO, Ido Erlichman, is a veteran of Unit 217, the Duvdevan Unit, an elite commando group that carries out intelligence operations and assassinations against the local Arab population.
(…)
Facebook’s collaboration with Unit 8200 goes far deeper, however. This author’s 2022 MintPress News investigation found that a vast number of Unit 8200 veterans had gone on to work in senior positions at Meta, Facebook’s parent company.
(…)
The same investigation found at least 99 former Unit 8200 agents working at Google. These included Google’s head of strategy and operations, Gavriel Goidel; its head of insights, data and management, Jonathan Cohen; and Google Waze’s head of global self-service, Ori Daniel.

Microsoft, meanwhile, hired at least 166 Unit 8200 veterans to fill its ranks, including many that went straight from the military into the company, suggesting that it is actively recruiting from the regiment.

Chatkontrolle: „Ein Massenüberwachungsapparat von orwellschem Ausmaß“

(18.06.2024)

Unabhängig von der technischen Umsetzung der Chatkontrolle, hält Threema die mit der Chatkontrolle einhergehende Massenüberwachung für nicht mit der Demokratie vereinbar. Zudem sei sie unwirksam und untergrabe die Datensicherheit.

Der Messenger warnt auch davor, dass es später keinen Weg gäbe um zu überprüfen, ob die Chatkontrolle wirklich nur bei CSAM (Missbrauchsmaterial) Anwendung finde: „Ist der Massenüberwachungsapparat erst einmal implementiert, kann er leicht für das Erkennen anderer Inhalte als CSAM erweitert werden, ohne dass dies jemand merkt“, so Threema. Aus Sicht eines Dienstbetreibers sei der Erkennungsmechanismus, der von Dritten entwickelt und unterhalten würde, nichts anderes als eine Blackbox.

Sollte die EU-Verordnung zur Chatkontrolle in einer Form durchkommen, die verschlüsselte Kommunikation untergräbt, möchte Threema zuerst alle Optionen wie rechtliche Schritte und technische Workarounds prüfen. Sollte es keinen anderen Weg geben „werden wir andere Kommunikationsdienste aufrufen, die EU mit uns zu verlassen.“

Auch Signal-Messenger gegen Chatkontrolle

Am Montag hatte auch Meredith Whittaker, die Chefin des Signal-Messengers, den belgischen „Kompromissvorschlag“ kritisiert. Mit dem Begriff „Upload Moderation“ hätte die belgische Ratspräsidentschaft der Technologie des Client-Side-Scannings nur einen neuen Namen verpasst, das Scannen bleibe aber das gleiche. Es sei letztlich egal, ob man das Untergraben von Verschlüsselung nun Hintertür, Vordertür oder „Upload Moderation“ nenne, der Effekt bleibe gleich, so Whittaker. Sie warnt vor einer „gefährlichen Schwachstelle in der Kerninfrastruktur“, die außerdem über Europa hinaus globale Auswirkungen hätte.

Rat der EU: Abstim­mung über Chat­kon­trolle ver­tagt

(20.06.2024)

Die Verhandlungen zwischen den EU-Staaten über die umstrittene Chatkontrolle sind nun unter anderem wegen der deutschen Bedenken vorerst gescheitert. Eine Abstimmung im Rat, die am Donnerstag angesetzt war, wurde vertragt. Es habe sich abgezeichnet, dass keine ausreichende Mehrheit erreicht werden würde, hieß es am Donnerstag von der belgischen Ratspräsidentschaft. Der Vorsitz beschloss daher, den Punkt von der Tagesordnung zu nehmen.

To cut a long story short:
– our hoster lost a server somewhere on a farm, shortly before an update.
– hoster‘s daily backups of a week didn‘t work.
– it was all coincidence.
– this news agency been has been restored with a backup of May 2024. And we are supposed to be lucky.

Senate passes reauthorization of key US surveillance program after midnight deadline

After its midnight deadline, the Senate voted early Saturday to reauthorize a key U.S. surveillance law after divisions over whether the FBI should be restricted from using the program to search for Americans’ data nearly forced the statute to lapse.

The legislation approved 60-34 with bipartisan support would extend for two years the program known as Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.

Gaza: Israel targets Palestinian civilians trying to access communications and internet services

Geneva – Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor has documented the Israeli army deliberately killing Palestinian civilians, including journalists, as they attempted to access communications and internet services to communicate with their families or employers, by targeting them with sniper or drone attacks in various areas of the Gaza Strip.

At least seven civilians have been killed in the North Gaza Governorate in less than a week after they were directly targeted by Israeli army drones in the Al-Bashir area of Tal Al-Zaatar in Jabalia Camp. The victims were attempting to access internet services to communicate with their families and relatives.
