Obama zegt nu dat het NSA beleid aangepast gaat worden. Ze geven dus toe dat ze fout zijn. Waarom willen ze dan nog Snowden vervolgen? Snowden heeft de VS dus een dienst bewezen. Anders passen ze het beleid niet aan. Snowden moet gewoon terugkeren naar de VS en de staat aanklagen. Dan zou hij pas een eindbaas zijn. Als ze hem pakken wordt hij een martelaar.

Zelfs voor de Amerikanen zal er niets veranderen. De Britten zullen de Amerikaanse burgers begluren en de Amerikanen zullen info bij de Britten opvragen als dat nodig is.quote:Op zaterdag 10 augustus 2013 22:19 schreef Misty_eyes het volgende:

Gisteravond ging ik in het centrum van Amsterdam een hapje eten. Ik wilde een parkeerkaartje kopen en toen sloegen de stoppen door. Het invoeren van je kenteken was altijd op vrijwillige basis, maar sinds 1 juli moet ik verplicht mijn kenteken opgeven. Mij verplichten persoonlijke gegevens af te staan, maar zelf niet transparant zijn in hoe je daar mee omgaat, sterker nog je eigen regelgeving niet naleven? NEE, bedankt. Ik weiger. Voortaan staat er op mijn parkeerkaartje 'ZEG IK NIET' ingevuld als kenteken.
Op het 'Ik heb toch niets te verbergen'-argument is maar één antwoord mogelijk: kleed je dan nu maar uit. En lees verder dit artikel van Daan Weggemans van het Centrum voor Terrorisme en Contraterrorisme, waar hij de vloer aanveegt met dat argument.
Waar het bij privacy om draait, is dat de overheid en bedrijven informatie over jou opslaan zonder dat je het weet, zonder dat je het overzicht hebt. Laat staan dat je iets te zeggen hebt over hoe die informatie wordt gebruikt. Dat maakt jou machteloos en dat kan niet anders dan leiden tot misbruik. Maar voor mij is het recht op privacy nog fundamenteler. Ik, Hella Hueck, wil niet door de overheid en commerciële bedrijven platgeslagen worden tot een dataset van gemonitorde gedragspatronen. Ik vind mezelf meer waard dan dat.

quote:When President Obama announced a series of intelligence reforms last Friday he called for the creation of an independent advisory group made up of "outside experts" who will review controversial surveillance programs.
But based on a memorandum issued today by the White House, it's not clear how independent the effort will be. The president has directed the Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper, to establish the "review group" that will be responsible for issuing a report about how surveillance programs "impact our security, our privacy, and our foreign policy."
The review group is intended in part, as the president said last week, to "maintain the trust of the people" — so why did the president put a man at the center of the spying controversy in charge?

This past January, Laura Poitras received a curious e-mail from an anonymous stranger requesting her public encryption key. For almost two years, Poitras had been working on a documentary about surveillance, and she occasionally received queries from strangers. She replied to this one and sent her public key allowing him or her to send an encrypted e-mail that only Poitras could open, with her private key but she didnt think much would come of it.

Real-life thrillerstory, bizar!!!

Er staat in dat ze o.a. de eerste 6 uur van hun ontmoeting met Snowden heeft gefilmd. Ruim genoeg materiaal voor een waarheidsgetrouwe film dusquote:Op woensdag 14 augustus 2013 12:20 schreef BaajGuardian het volgende:

quote:Government Wants Media To Stop Covering Barrett Brown
Barrett Brown has been sitting in prison, without trial, for almost a year. In case you haven’t followed his case, the 31-year-old journalist is facing a century of prison time for sharing a link that contained—within an archive of 5 million emails—credit-card information stolen from a hack of a security company called Stratfor (Jeremy Hammond, the actual hacker, is going to prison for ten years), threatening the family of an FBI officer who raided his mother’s home, and trying to hide his laptops from the Feds.
The flood of NSA leaks from Edward Snowden has placed extra attention on Barrett, who focused on investigating a partnership that many people are incredibly uncomfortable with—the connections between private security, surveillance, intelligence firms, and the US government.
Barrett’s website, ProjectPM, used a small team of researchers to pore over leaked emails, news articles, and public corporate information to figure out what this industry does exactly, and how they serve the White House. It’s partly because of Barrett that we know about things like persona management, a technology used by the US government and its contractors to disseminate information online using fake personas, also known as sock puppets.
He also helped the world learn about TrapWire, a surveillance program that’s built into security cameras all over the world and “more accurate than facial recognition technology.” When it was made public in the pre-Snowden era, most media outlets played it off as not being a big deal. We still don’t know exactly how powerful TrapWire is, but, because of the Strafor hack and Barrett’s research, at least we know it exists.
Anyone interested in getting involved with ProjectPM is invited with this call to action: “If you care that the surveillance state is expanding in capabilities and intent without being effectively opposed by the population of the West, you can assist in making this an actionable resource for journalists, activists, and other interested parties,” which sums up the quest for information that is, in and of itself, on trial in Barrett’s case. As Glenn Greenwald wrote in the Guardian regarding the prosecution of Barrett Brown, “here we have the US government targeting someone they clearly loathe because of the work he is doing against their actions.”
Barrett is set to appear in court next month, but his defense attorneys are asking for an extension to sort through the prosecutors’ evidence. The defense insists they’re in the midst of having a forensics expert process the data. The US government’s evidence is stored on a 2 Terabyte hard drive and two DVDs, and the prosecutors are essentially arguing that a.) All of that does not account for much information, despite the forensic processing that is still ongoing, and b.) the defense has had enough time to get their shit together. But, beyond that, they’re trying to silence the media coverage surrounding Barrett Brown’s case.
Within the government’s “Opposition to Continuance,” written to oppose an extension of Barrett’s trial is a lengthy section about his supposed media strategy. In this section, the government prosecutors have claimed Barrett’s defense team is defying the judge’s warning to not “try the case in the media.” It also states “the government has reason to believe that Brown’s attorney coordinates and/or approves the use of media.”
After that is a list of occasions where Barrett communicated with members of the media, myself included. For what it’s worth, I did not arrange that interview through Barrett’s attorneys, nor did his current attorneys represent him at the time of our conversation. The government is asking for a complete ban on media statements from Barrett and his representatives. It appears to be a desperate strategy to silence criticism and dissent in a case that already deeply threatens the nature of journalism and freedom of information.
Also alluded to in the government’s outline of journalists who have covered Barrett Brown are Glenn Greenwald and the late Michael Hastings, who was a friend of Barrett’s. As Hastings himself said: “Barrett Brown is a journalist, plain and simple. He’s also a colleague and friend, and one of the brilliant, if highly unconventional, American writers of his generation. I offer my support to Barrett and his family, and respectfully ask for his immediate release from custody.”
While the judge waits to decide whether or not Barrett’s trial date should be extended, and if a media gag order should be allowed (his defense rightfully points out this request comes without citing any particularly offensive or justice-obstructing statement Barrett has made thus far), we have decided to publish an original article from Barrett Brown himself, which you can read right over here. It compares the Watergate era to the Wikileaks era, and does not deal with the specifics of Barrett’s trial.
Barrett Brown is an imprisoned author who deserves to be published while he navigates the harsh obstacles of today’s American justice system. The precedent that a guilty verdict—and a 100-year prison sentence—would set is troubling. But, as Barrett told me in March, he’s not “terribly worried” about the punishment he’s facing. While it’s hard to fully believe him, it’s certainly reassuring for someone like me who is in fact quite worried about what prison time, in this case, could mean for the future of investigative reporting, internet security, and journalism at large.
If Barrett goes to prison for digging into the pitch-black world of online surveillance, it will make figuring out what America’s massive intelligence firms are doing with their powerful, secret surveillance tools even more difficult and dangerous than it already is. With Edward Snowden stuck in Russia and Bradley Manning facing well over a century of hard time, the world simply can’t afford to lose Barrett as well.
