XS4ALL maakt met Ziggo vuist tegen Brein. Nieuws - Provider XS4ALL mengt zich in een juridisch geschil dat Ziggo heeft met piraterijbestrijder Brein. Brein eist dat Ziggo torrentsite The Pirate Bay blokkeert. Eerder liet XS4ALL al weten Ziggo te steunen in de zaak tegen Brein. Nu laat de provider weten zich ook juridisch in de strijd te willen mengen. Daarom voegt XS4ALL zich in het kort geding dat maandag 28 juni dient bij de rechtbank in Den Haag. Brein eist dat Ziggo de Pirate Bay blokkeert voor zijn gebruikers, nadat de Nederlandse rechter de torrentsite al verboden had links naar illegale bestanden te plaatsen.
Via het opleggen van dwangsommen lukte het tot nog toe niet de site offline te krijgen. Principekwestie "XS4ALL voegt zich in de zaak omdat zij principieel tegen censuur is en precedentwerking wil voorkomen", zo laat de provider weten. De providers zijn bang dat een blokkade van The Pirate Bay ook de deur op een kier zet om de toegang tot andere sites via de rechter te verbieden. Entertainmentindustie. The Companies Who Support Censoring The Internet. A group of companies sent a letter to to Attorney General Eric Holder and ICE boss John Morton today (with cc's to VP Joe Biden, Homeland Security boss Janet Napolitano, IP Czar Victoria Espinel, Rep. Lamar Smith, Rep. John Conyers, Senator Patrick Leahy and Senator Charles Grassley), supporting the continued seizure of domain names they don't like, as well as the new COICA censorship bill, despite the serious Constitutional questions raised about how such seizures violate due process and free speech principles.
While many reporting on this letter refused to actually post a copy of the full letter, kudos to Greg Sandoval over at News.com for doing so (full text also included after the jump on this post). The companies try to present a united front that censoring the internet is a good thing. And, of course, none of this is to say that violating copyright or trademark laws should be allowed. How to censor the Web Memex 1.1 » Blog Archive » Godfrey v Demon Internet Service. Godfrey v Demon Internet Service [2001] QB 201 was a landmark court case in the United Kingdom concerning online defamation and the liability of internet service providers. Facts[edit] Judgment[edit] Ruling on a pre-trial motion, the court found that an Internet service provider can be sued for libel, and that any transmission by a service provider of a defamatory posting constituted a publication under defamation law.
Demon thereafter entered into an out-of-court settlement that paid Godfrey £15,000 plus £250,000 for his legal expenses.[1] There have since appeared several misrepresentations of the second of the two interlocutory judgments of Mr Justice Morland in the (first) Godfrey v. Demon action. The judge described as "provocative" those words alleged by the Defendant to have been posted by Godfrey. Significance[edit] Laurence Godfrey commented that he was happy with the settlement.[1] Godfrey was subsequently the plaintiff in a variety of other internet-based libel suits.[2] John Naughton on WikiLeaks | Technology | The Observer. The Gilmore aphorism about censorship first saw the light of day in 1993 – in a Time article about the internet – and since then has taken on a life of its own as a consoling mantra about the libertarian potential of the network.
"In its original form," Gilmore explains, "it meant that the Usenet software (which moves messages around in discussion newsgroups) was resistant to censorship because, if a node drops certain messages because it doesn't like their subject, the messages find their way past that node anyway by some other route. " But, he continues, "The meaning of the phrase has grown through the years. Internet users have proven it time after time, by personally and publicly replicating information that is threatened with destruction or censorship. " The aphorism came up a lot last week following publication by the Guardian, the New York Times and Der Spiegel of extensive reports based on the stash of classified US military reports published on the WikiLeaks website.
Censorship. Censorship is the suppression of speech or other public communication which may be considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, politically incorrect or inconvenient as determined by a government, media outlet or other controlling body. Governments, private organizations and individuals may engage in censorship. When an author or other creator engages in censorship of his or her own works, it is called self-censorship. Censorship may be direct or it may be indirect, in which case it is called soft censorship. It occurs in a variety of different media, including speech, books, music, films, and other arts, the press, radio, television, and the Internet for a variety of reasons including national security, to control obscenity, child pornography, and hate speech, to protect children or other vulnerable groups, to promote or restrict political or religious views, and to prevent slander and libel.
Direct censorship may or may not be legal, depending on the type, place, and content. Censure. A censure /ˈsɛnʃər/ is an expression of strong disapproval or harsh criticism.[1] Among the forms that it can take are a stern rebuke by a legislature, a spiritual penalty imposed by a church, or a negative judgment pronounced on a theological proposition. Politics[edit] In politics, a censure is an alternative to more serious measures against misconduct or dereliction of duty.[2][3] Canada[edit] Censure is an action by the House of Commons or the Senate rebuking the actions or conduct of an individual. Louis Riel faced Parliamentary censure for his role in the Red River Rebellion, and was expelled from Parliament April 16, 1874.[4] Japan[edit] On August 28, 2012 a censure motion was passed by the LDP and the New Komeito Party against Prime Minister Noda himself. United States[edit] Censure is the public reprimanding of a public official for inappropriate conduct or voting behavior.
Explanation and use[edit] More serious disciplinary procedures may involve fine, suspension, or expulsion. Denial-of-service attack. DDoS Stacheldraht Attack diagram. Perpetrators of DoS attacks typically target sites or services hosted on high-profile web servers such as banks, credit card payment gateways, and even root nameservers. DoS threats are also common in business,[1] and are sometimes responsible for website attacks.[2] This technique has now seen extensive use in certain games, used by server owners, or disgruntled competitors on games, such as server owners' popular Minecraft servers. Increasingly, DoS attacks have also been used as a form of resistance. Richard Stallman has stated that DoS is a form of 'Internet Street Protests’.[3] The term is generally used relating to computer networks, but is not limited to this field; for example, it is also used in reference to CPU resource management.[4] Denial-of-service attacks are considered violations of the Internet Architecture Board's Internet proper use policy, and also violate the acceptable use policies of virtually all Internet service providers.

Troll (Internet) This sense of the word troll and its associated verb trolling are associated with Internet discourse, but have been used more widely. Media attention in recent years has equated trolling with online harassment. For example, mass media has used troll to describe "a person who defaces Internet tribute sites with the aim of causing grief to families. "[7][8] Usage The advice to ignore rather than engage with a troll is sometimes phrased as "Please do not feed the trolls. " Application of the term troll is subjective. As noted in an OS News article titled "Why People Troll and How to Stop Them" (January 25, 2012), "The traditional definition of trolling includes intent. Regardless of the circumstances, controversial posts may attract a particularly strong response from those unfamiliar with the robust dialogue found in some online, rather than physical, communities.

On Monday, May 17, at 2 p.m., a breaking news article headlined “Obama’s aunt given OK to stay in United States” hits the home page of Boston.com. In a matter of seconds, the first anonymous online comment appears. A reader with the handle of Peregrinite writes, “of course she can . . . can someone appeal.”
Certain topics never fail to generate a flood of impassioned reactions online: immigration, President Obama, federal taxes, “birthers,” and race. This story about Obama’s Kenyan aunt, who had been exposed as an illegal immigrant living in public housing in Boston and who was now seeking asylum, manages to pull strands from all five of those contentious subjects. In the next few minutes, several equally innocuous posts follow, including a rare comment in favor of the judge’s decision. News websites from across the country struggle to maintain civility in their online comments forums. Newspapers find themselves in a strange position.
Clearly, anonymity is under attack. Are You a Comm.Troll? For the most part, Mashable's commenters are tech-savvy and full of wit, but we're well aware of the lure some Internet lurkers feel when to comes to entering the realm of trolldom. When a story's subject/author/factual errors/typeface sends one into a fit of rage, it can be hard to hold back one's ire. Last week, The Boston Globe's Neil Swidey wrote a rather intriguing story on the subject, even tracking down and profiling a few real-life trolls (it's lengthy, but worth a read). And, inspired in part by said story — as well as the comments sections of many a favorite website — my Stuff Hipsters Hate co-writer Andrea Bartz and I chose to delve into this subject in our most recent Netiquette column for CNN.

Op dit moment kan het OM websites op zwart zetten, maar slechts na toetsing door de rechter. Afgelopen week lanceerde de demissionaire regering echter een nieuw concept-wetsvoorstel. De regering wil die voorafgaande rechterlijke toetsing schrappen. De overheid houdt hierover nu een consultatie, om te horen wat belanghebbenden hiervan vinden. Vijf argumenten tegen dit rampzalige voorstel. Bevordert censuur. Nog andere argumenten? ‘T-Mobiel censureert’ - Het Financieele Dagblad. Vervolging om nieuwsbericht illustreert probleem censuurknop. Journalist Bert Brussen heeft van het Openbaar Ministerie het verzoek gekregen een nieuwsbericht van zijn blog te verwijderen. Maar kan Bert Brussen zich niet beroepen op de persvrijheid? De affaire illustreert duidelijk het probleem van de censuurknop die Hirsch Ballin laatst lanceerde. Bert Brussen publiceerde op zijn blog een nieuwsbericht.
In dat nieuwsbericht nam hij een tweet op, waarin iemand Wilders met de dood bedreigde. Het Openbaar Ministerie vervolgt nu niet alleen degene die de tweet plaatste, maar wil ook Bert Brussen vervolgen wegens bedreiging. Het OM snapt blijkbaar niet dat Bert Brussen de tweet in een andere context plaatste: hij illustreerde hiermee dat via Twitter een bedreiging wordt gedaan. “The punishment of a journalist for assisting dissemination of statements made by others in an interview would seriously hamper the press contribution to discussion of matters of public interest and should not be envisaged unless there are particularly strong reasons.” UAE to Ban BlackBerry E-mail, Web Browsing and Messaging. Citing national security concerns, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has announced that it will soon ban e-mail, web browsing and messaging for the BlackBerry smartphone.
"In the public interest, we have today informed the providers of telecommunications services in the country of our decision to suspend the Blackberry services of messenger, email and electronic browsing," stated Mohammed al-Ghanem, the chief of the UAE's Telecommunications Regulatory Authority. "Today's decision is based on the fact that, in their current form, certain BlackBerry services allow users to act without any legal accountability, causing judicial, social and national-security concerns," continued the government's statement. According to al-Ghanem, "It's a final decision," but they are continuing discussions with Canadian-based Research in Motion (RIM), makers of the BlackBerry device.
At the heart of the ban is the method in which RIM handles BlackBerry data. We have reached out to RIM for comment. Massive Censorship Of Digg Uncovered « OOO.
