Syrian protests trigger new deadly clashes 9 December 2011Last updated at 18:19 Activists posted videos of protests across Syria, including in Dail, near Deraa At least 24 people have been killed in renewed anti-government protests across Syria, activists say. Eleven of the deaths were in and around the city of Homs, while five were in the suburbs of Damascus, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. Another activist group, the Local Co-ordination Committees (LCC), put Friday's death toll at 35. The UN estimates more than 4,000 people have died in the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad since March. A number of pro-government demonstrations have also been reported across the country, including in the capital Damascus. Demonstrators regularly take to the streets following Friday prayers. The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said two of those killed in the central city of Homs were boys, aged 10 and 12. Activists in Deraa said telephone and internet lines had been cut.

SOPA Supporter: If You Use DNSSEC You Can Ignore SOPA/PIPA Daniel Castro from the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF) is the guy who has been highlighted for coming up with the idea of censoring the internet to deal with copyright infringement online. In 2009, he wrote a whitepaper suggesting just such a strategy, and since then has been a vocal champion of the approach that mimics China's Great Firewall. He's issued a "response" to "critics" over the bills which is, frankly, an embarrassment for supporters of these bills. There may be some compelling ways to defend these disasters (though I doubt it), but Castro's paper is beyond ridiculous. It rolls out all the usual bogus tropes, talking up the "size" of the problem with claims that simply aren't backed up by the data at all. PIPA/SOPA states that service providers are required to take only “technically feasible and reasonable measures” to comply with government court orders. Really? While technology should shape policy, it should not determine policy. That's not ironic.

He has made himself a target as an advocate of the NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act), but we are truly disturbed by the ludicrous $272,853 he received from special interest groups supporting the NDAA bill that authorizes the indefinite detention of U.S. citizens on U.S. soil.
