Hi, I think that the fia hands the prizes for the formula 1 championship in paris this Thursday. Does anybody have info on the events and wether or not we can Attend, buy tickets or else. Thanks

The FIA has a period of time when you can enter a team into an f1 season and I was wondering if anyone could tell me when the period of time is?

The FIA (Federation Internationale de Automobile) Has tokken this sub. I only see 1 thibg on internet priviaxy

1. Aaron Swartz

and so on.

I remember a few years ago, Tim Berners-Lee suggested an implementation of an Internet Bill of Rights (https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/2ho5d4/tim_bernerslee_calls_for_internet_bill_of_rights/). What exact efforts have been made from then on and is the world more leaning towards a national, international or sovranational solution to this problem? Unfortunately I have a hard time finding these information on the web... Thank you in advance for responding!

I want to mail a ton of “data” to President Trump and I need your help Reddit.

People often say “a ton of this” or “a ton of that”. It’s usually what we call figurative speech. Not today. I want to mail our fair President a literal ton of paper - of the shredded variety.

Are you a crazy?

Maybe.

OK - you may or may not be a crazy person. Why would I want to give you money to mail President Trump a bunch of paper?

On Monday, President Donald Trump signed legislation killing privacy rules that would have required internet service providers to get your explicit consent before they share or sell your web browsing history and other sensitive information.

Apparently, what we’re currently watching on Netflix and what color underwear we just ordered on Amazon is highly valued information for the Telecom companies. They’re bursting at the seams to get this information. They can practically taste our underwear.

That’s pretty scary on a few levels. Why does my ISP care that I binge-watch Orange Is the New Black on weekends?

"Your home broadband provider can know when you wake up each day—either by knowing the time each morning that you log on to the Internet to check the weather/news of the morning, or through a connected device in your home," Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) said during Senate floor debate yesterday. "And that provider may know immediately if you are not feeling well—assuming you decide to peruse the Internet like most of us to get a quick check on your symptoms. In fact, your broadband provider may know more about your health—and your reaction to illness—than you are willing to share with your doctor. "Home Internet providers can also "build a profile about your listening and viewing habits," while mobile broadband providers "know how you move about your day through information about your geolocation and Internet activity through your mobile device," he said.

"This is a gold mine of data—the holy grail so to speak,"said Nelson. "It is no wonder that broadband providers want to be able to sell this information to the highest bidder without consumers’ knowledge or consent. And they want to collect and use this information without providing transparency or being held accountable."

The thing is, nobody wanted this.

“The only people in the United States who want less internet privacy are CEOs and lobbyists for giant telecom companies who want to rake in money by spying on all of us and selling the private details of our lives to marketing companies.” - Evan Greer, campaign director of Fight for the Future

Whether or not you appreciate his schtick, I think comedian/Late Show host Stephen Colbert sums up many of our feelings when he said; “I guarantee you there’s not one person — not one voter of any political stripe anywhere in America, who asked for this. No one in America stood up in a town hall and said, ‘Sir, I demand you let somebody else make money off my shameful desires. Maybe blackmail me someday!’”

And a lot of money it is indeed! Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) one of the key proponents of this repeal was gifted $693,000 from the telecom industry. She is not the only one being made richer by the special interests groups hell-bent on profiting from our personal information. It seems a whopping $8,121,535 has been gifted between the House and Senate in this election cycle alone!

OK - I’m sold. Trump and the GOP are traitors but you still didn't tell me why you want to mail President Trump a ton of paper.

While we cannot reverse the traitorous breach of privacy now imposed on us all by the GOP lead House and Senate along with their fearful leader Trump, I propose to send President Trump one ton of paper as an act of discontent to this despicable act. Unlike the six hundred people whose campaigns pretend buying Congress’ Internet data would ever be a thing, this is something that has a possibility of happening; something that will be noticed and bring attention to this miscarriage of justice that has occurred that affects almost every single American.

Why a ton of paper? Shouldn’t you send him a ton of personal data in this tongue and cheek act of protest?

No. Buying a literal ton of personal data would be disingenuous to the spirit of this demonstration.

This seems like a fantastic idea. What can I do to help?

Welcome aboard! I probably don’t have to tell you that paper and transport isn’t free. I have done some preliminary enquiring and it will cost approximately $3000 USD to buy a ton of paper and have it sent to the White House. I will donate $500 USD of my own money if we can make this petty dream a reality.

If donations do not meet my goal, I will donate the entirety of donations to Electronic Frontier Foundation and/or a similar privacy advocacy group(s). If by some miracle of the Gods of malicious compliance we go over, I will make the decision whether or not to send even more paper as well as donating the rest.

what are some good resources that ensure internet is free and open

because every day telecommunication and media corporations and the rich and the government would love to gain control ... control they had ever since dawn of time .......

please share ...

what are some good movies about it?

and what can WE do to ensure it's freedom?

thank you ...

Here I will list my argument for why we need a bill of internet rights: Is anonymity online important to the average person? Of course it is, unless you say it is not important for news of injustices and evils to be spread. Lack of anonymity can silence those who need a voice. While also strengthening those who need nothing. This lack of anonymity will also lead to public outcry and increased identity theft. Also, I would like to ask what is the point of taking away one of the last outlets on a planet where a person can be semi-anonymous. There are numerous scenarios where people will need an anonymous outlet to ask questions or voice opinions. Whether it be an employing revealing poor business practices while still keeping their job to a citizen coordinating escape from oppressed areas. It also provides sharing information that the public likely needs to know without being stuck in a Honduras embassy. Speaking of which why do these online whistle-blowers not have the right to anonymity yet those righting on ink do, even Common Sense was originally published under a pseudonym. Public outcry, let us think about some history, lets look at 2010 with the outcry against actions against WikiLeaks, multiple disputes in 2009 in Great Britain including the fight for Gary McKinnon's freedom, and huge masses of people arguing for net neutrality in 2015. We also can't forget SOPA in 2011, I won't even get into that other than stating websites as big as Wikipedia were protesting it. If we even go back a few weeks ago when over a thousand websites added anti-rule 41 banners, unfortunately the battle against rule 41 was one of the first losses for the people in this long war. So, must we drag out this war, or admit, this doesn't help “the public, but the puppeteers.” Identity theft, how is that related you may ask. Well, think, if hackers can access your accounts through you just connecting to the internet, and not suddenly your accounts are tied to perhaps you social security number, what do you plan to do. If it is not tied to a social security number how will you monitor it... So the goal is to stop harassment or cyber-bulling by give bullies direct access to all your personal information which they could use to ruin lives? Seems counter-intuitive, or lets say a hacker has access to your social security number, then most likely password recovery would be tied to your, you guessed it, social security number; they can use that number to access everything you own.

Now I will list the basic rights, we need to make this official:

-Every user's access to a specific website can not in anyway be hindered by an Internet Service Provider(ISP).

-Every user has the right to use aliases in any online circumstance.

-Every user has the right to limiting what software is installed upon their computers unless a warrant is specifically passed by a United Nations(UN) recognized nation.

-Every ISP must not save or distribute traffic information without a specific warrant passed by a UN recognized nation.

-Everything that monitors voice or video must specify and have a method of disabling.

-No website may save or distribute the Internet Protocol(IP) of users connected.

-Anything not listed must be previously voted upon in majority by everyone of every walk of life willing to participate.

I thought I would post this here as this group seems to be interested in ways to circumvent the existing monopoly the isp's hold on digital data transmission and exchange.

As briefly as possible now (i will elaborate, as needed later):

What if there was a second internet stored on servers not connected to the internet? And that offline second internet was transferred to users, not by a mesh network, but by daily couriers (once a day), much like a curbside mailbox to mailbox postal service? But instead of paper mail, these couriers picked up and delivered a fixed amount of digital content between wireless devices in their vehicles and large capacity wireless usb devices at curbside. The amount of that content a user receives would be dependent on how many of these large capacity wireless usb drives the user buys for themselves. That's basically it...omitting the details (for now) of how it would work. Essentially, it would not be a "real time" internet and as such limited in its user capabilities, i.e, you could NOT do instant text messaging or live streaming video over it. But the point is it takes away power from the isp's by a low-tech but essentially problem-free method and does not suffer from the same limitations and obstacles as a mesh network (which, by the way, could be employed on a limited scale to support this proposal). Essentially, I'm suggesting instead of trying to use the new technology of mesh networking, we take a step back, utilize a tried and true method of information transfer but just update it with wireless technology. I'd be glad to answer the "How's?" should anyone think this proposal has possibilities. Now, quickly, I realize you can't transfer an entire web network to a wireless usb drive--- even one of the highest capacity--- so there will be limitations...but the user will be able to increase their data collection capacity, which i can also expand on as needed.

Thanks for taking the time to read.

Should anyone be interested in more detail, I expand on my proposal in a reply to a Reddit member here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/darknetplan/comments/4wsrrs/so_how_does_one_propose_an_idea_for_an/d6bzh5k

I have comcast, and this is outragous. Being the sole user of my bill and having a busy life, I don't have that much time for the internet and when I do I mainly just do a bit of gaming on it. I haven't noticed this cap before. But last week/weekend was special, it was a major for Counter-Strike tournament. This is a big deal in the CS scene, probally doesn't matter to anyone else, but I had a twitch.tv stream open for about 3 hours a day over the past week, on the top quality because anything but the best quality looks like garbage while fullscreened.

I looked into my contract with Comcast, and apparently for every 1 gb I go over my limit, I am charged 20 Dollars. Is this even real life?

How do I fight this, and is there a movement against this?

I watched John Oliver on net neutrality. And he got me thinking. Internet Providers basically has us in our grips. I will provide a personal example which I hope others will too.

Watch the very informative John Oliver explain it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpbOEoRrHyU

  In Sweden, where I don't think it is as bad as in the US, the status quo is:

- 3 or 4 big providers for countryside and suburbs.

- Around two more advanced providers additionally avalible in larger cities.

My sister lives three blocks from me in a smaller city, separated by a main road. I have access to one of the big ones exclusively, and she has access to the other two.

The one I've got also has cheaper service in student-apartments.

If one could gather information on avalability you could possibly prove that they have areas of control for reduced competition and therefore possibly illegal(?) monopoly on the market.

Hi redditors. I need help to craft a reply to my local mp. In the wake of the magazine killings in France the UK prime minister has made a speech in which he suggested that the UK should impose stricter regulations on the internet. His suggestions would mean that end to end encryption would no longer be permitted and that in turn would make it easier for the police to access private communications. I wrote an email to my local MP to express my concern and have just received a less than reassuring reply. I would be greatful if reddit could help me craft a reply. I would like to adress the points he raises in the most constructive manner that would potentially give him some room or pause for thought.

Here is a copy of the conversation thus far.

Me >In the wake of Charlie Hebdo David Cameron has seized on the opportunity to attack internet security and the right of people to use end-to-end encryption to keep their communications secure (Cameron's speech on Monday). As you are my local MP I would like to direct to you my outrage at this suggestion. At the very least there has been no evidence presented to suggest that the people responsible for this attack used encrypted communication. Which leads one to wonder why this particular freedom is now under attack.

However regardless if this technology was used or not should not open a window for it to be attacked. This is an attack on freedom of speech and the rights of individuals to communicate with each other away from prying eyes. Simply because David Cameron may feel that it is useful to know what people are thinking or saying does not entail that UK law should reflect this desire. Encrypted communication and internet privacy is an invaluable tool; one that permits citizens to exchange thoughts without fear of persecution. This freedom stands at the core of any free nation.

I find it very troubling that this kind of freedom should come under attack from the UK government.

As my MP I hope that you will take these words into consideration and take note of my strong opposition to any law that seeks to withdraw the rights of UK citizens to free and private speech.

Many Thanks//

Him> Thank you for your email.

There are no absolute rights to free speech. Those abusing others and organising violence have never has the opportunity to incite others in UK or any other legal system.

Germany for example does not allow Nazi promotion, while we do not allow racist abuse.

There also needs to be the ability to stop money laundering by organised crime through banks- many people have lost money to internet scams.//

I am by no means an expert on the situation and as such would really appreciate reddits help. Thanks

I'm a first-year law student looking for opportunities to work this summer advancing civil rights and liberties for internet users. I'd like to apply to as many organizations as I can find, but understandably there aren't too many in this new field. So far, I've identified Public Knowledge, Center for Democracy & Technology, EPIC, EFF, Stanford’s Center for Internet & Society, Creative Commons, and Internet Archive; does anyone know any other organizations that are in need of a law student looking to build experience in the cyberlaw policy field?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thailand is currently under a genuine repressive military dictatorship that has invalidated the constitution and criminalized all dissent. They're also censoring the internet. It looks like they're doing it in a lot of different ways, but at least a few sites forward to http://block.dyndns-at-home.com.

I called Dyn and actually managed to speak to someone in their corporate office, but they told me I had to file an official complaint with their legal team for them to even evaluate it. I can understand why they'd be protective of their customers and I appreciate that someone actually talked to me, but ultimately I was brushed off and not taken very seriously.

So let it be known: DynDNS knowingly and willingly assists repressive third world governments in censoring the internet. Don't use their services.
