Barack Obama’s support for net neutrality sets precedent for the rest of the world | Technology Perhaps unusually for a networked world, Barack Obama’s statement supporting net neutrality will have little immediate effect outside the United States. The debate concerns the way the internet is delivered to homes and offices: proponents of net neutrality argue that the fee internet users pay to get online should cover access to any site, no matter how popular it is; opposing them are the major US internet service providers such as Verizon and Comcast, who want the ability to charge sites that hog bandwidth extra, above and beyond the fees their visitors pay for access in the first place. Other jurisdictions have their own debates about net neutrality. In the UK, for example, 10 of the biggest ISPs voluntarily signed up in 2012 to a code that held them to offering open and full access to the net, and not prioritising traffic to their own products. More than that, it also helps ensure a future for the internet that is as open to new ideas as it always has been.
TYT Network Rusland truer Danmark med atomangreb Ruslands ambassadør i Danmark, Mikhail Vanin, advarer i et debatindlæg i Jyllands-Posten om, at Danmark vil blive mål for et muligt russisk atomangreb, hvis vi tilslutter os Natos missilforsvar. »Jeg tror ikke, at danskerne helt forstår konsekvenserne af, hvad der sker, hvis Danmark tilslutter sig det amerikansk-styrede missilforsvar. Sker det, bliver danske krigsskibe mål for russiske atommissiler. Danmark vil blive en del af truslen mod Rusland. Udenrigsminister Martin Lidegaard (R) kalder den russiske udmelding uacceptabel op påpeger, at Rusland ved, at NATOs missilforsvar er defensivt og ikke vendt mod dem.
Next Level BS: Saving the Internet from BS, one turd at a time: theNLBS Watch: NYPD uses military-grade sonic weapon on Eric Garner protesters Long range acoustic devices (LRADs) have been previously implemented by police at protests throughout the world. Thursday night at about 1am, at the intersection of 57 East and Madison Avenue in Manhattan—a populated area about four blocks from Columbus Circle—the NYPD used a Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD) to disperse about 100 protesters who were on the streets. Footage captured by YouTube user James C shows the weapon in use beginning at the 1:58 mark. Protesters scattered in response to the sound, and either a live officer over a PA system or an automated voice intermittently told protesters between sound blasts that they could not interfere with “vehicular traffic” without risking arrest. The LRAD is deployed multiple times throughout the 5:00 minute video clip. One person who was present at the scene, Moth Dust, a photographer, said people became aggravated after the LRAD was used and began throwing trash and rocks in the direction of police.
