The UN Unveils Plan Pushing For Worldwide Internet Censorship

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Submitted by Mike Krieger via Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,

The United Nations has disgraced itself immeasurably over the past month or so.

In case you missed the following stories, I suggest catching up now:

The UN’s “Sustainable Development Agenda” is Basically a Giant Corporatist Fraud

Not a Joke – Saudi Arabia Chosen to Head UN Human Rights Panel

Fresh off the scene from those two epic embarrassments, the UN now wants to tell governments of the world how to censor the internet. I wish I was kidding.

From the Washington Post:

On Thursday, the organization’s Broadband Commission for Digital Development released a damning “world-wide wake-up call” on what it calls “cyber VAWG,” or violence against women and girls. The report concludes that online harassment is “a problem of pandemic proportion” — which, nbd, we’ve all heard before.

 

But the United Nations then goes on to propose radical, proactive policy changes for both governments and social networks, effectively projecting a whole new vision for how the Internet could work.

 

Under U.S. law — the law that, not coincidentally, governs most of the world’s largest online platforms — intermediaries such as Twitter and Facebook generally can’t be held responsible for what people do on them. But the United Nations proposes both that social networks proactively police every profile and post, and that government agencies only “license” those who agree to do so.

People are being harassed online, and the solution is to censor everything and license speech? Remarkable.

How that would actually work, we don’t know; the report is light on concrete, actionable policy. But it repeatedly suggests both that social networks need to opt-in to stronger anti-harassment regimes and that governments need to enforce them proactively.

 

At one point toward the end of the paper, the U.N. panel concludes that “political and governmental bodies need to use their licensing prerogative” to better protect human and women’s rights, only granting licenses to “those Telecoms and search engines” that “supervise content and its dissemination.”

So we’re supposed to be lectured about human rights from an organization that named Saudi Arabia head of its human rights panel? Got it.

Regardless of whether you think those are worthwhile ends, the implications are huge: It’s an attempt to transform the Web from a libertarian free-for-all to some kind of enforced social commons.

 

This U.N. report gets us no closer, alas: all but its most modest proposals are unfeasible. We can educate people about gender violence or teach “digital citizenship” in schools, but persuading social networks to police everything their users post is next to impossible. And even if it weren’t, there are serious implications for innovation and speech: According to the Electronic Frontier Foundation, CDA 230 — the law that exempts online intermediaries from this kind of policing — is basically what allowed modern social networks (and blogs, and comments, and forums, etc.) to come into being.

If we’re lucky, perhaps the Saudi religious police chief (yes, they have one) who went on a rampage against Twitter a couple of years ago, will be available to head up the project.

What a joke.

A little OT, boys, but not too far -

"38 years after it's first edition, "The Camp of the Saints" is republished in 2011. Jean Raspail comes to talk ..."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DW7s9Qi72dk

upshot here is that the author notes that it would be illegal in France to publish that book - essentially his novel benefits from a grandfather clause.

Censorship is here, although it seems to be strangely limited to questioning issues pertaining to Jewish power and/or historical events.

and fwiw I'm not a "denier" - just a good, old fashioned Classical Liberal who believes in free speech, even for the goyim.

Nah, it's not limited.  There are things that I will no longer write and things that I will no longer even go look up.

The other day I read how in one of the middle east conflicts rebels powered homemade cannons with am-on-yum nigh-tr-ate.  I did not think this would work as AN only really functions in that way if it is prilled.  Prilling is taking a supersaturated solution and dripping in from the top of tower.  The chem then crystallizes and I believe that it's actually the spaces between the growing crystal that allows the oil to come into intimate contact creating its "power." 

So in short I don't believe that agricultural grade fertilizer can be used, I think it's a myth but maybe I was wrong and I was curious. 

But it made me so nervous for certainly as I typed in the words my IP addy was being placed into some folder someplace.  So I gave up and I'll never know if this material really can be used as its often stated or if its just bunk.

The eye is upon all of us and how many of you really, really feel free to say what you want, or even research what you want on the web.  These are fearful timess.

Please someone....

Invent a simple digital repeater (transmitter/receiver)  It need only have a small radius.  It will only transmit/receive packets (small digital messages which is how twitter works.  Its function is only to pass data along though if the message is for you it'll direct it to you.

I'll bet that such a device can be made for less than $20 today.  Imagine a million in the US.

Then when the internet goes "lights off" because of whatever reason the government decides, true freedom of speech could not be squelched.  This would return inet power to the people.

It's already done, some one wrote an app that develops a mesh network off bluetooth or wifi or something.

They are not going to censor shit. Try, and a true untrackable non-tracable app will be written by lunch and posted.  Tor is not it - that thing is so infected with law inforcement it isn't funny.  But there are reason why apps like Trucrypt have become unavailable, because it offered triple layer 512 bit above military grade encryption.  Sure probably the NSA server farm can brute force it in a parallel thread to the tune of 50 million procs hammering ever combination out to 12 letters in minutes, but it still is a huge waste of resources.

Especially if you start encrypting happy faces all the time.. leaving encrypted volume cubes all over..

Truecrypt was however still proprietary, so many wouldn't trust it.

There is dm-crypt/LUKS which runs under Linux and can have dozens of different encryption methodologies and you can mix and match how you want (that is to say, you choose your cipher as well as your hash among other things).

Spot on.

Yes - Tor was developed by the mil, but the thing about Tor is it actually needs people using it to work properly - the more people using it the more secure it is - gov was prepared to release it so they could use it themselves for all their dirty works. As far as the gov was concerned a bunch of geeky nerds using it for their own purposes was worth the cost. Since the introduction of the Tor browser bundle (now *that* I don't trust 100%) it's become pretty mainstream now.

Download the source of Tor and compile, forward to your proxy (once again compiled from source) and change the browser settings in one you only use for Tor and you're set. No idea how easy or difficult this is on Windows, but on Linux it takes all of 3 minutes not including download time.

Just couldn't log in one day. Face Book requested me to email a governmet photo ID which also needed to display my full name and birth date. This info was necessary for the safety of the Face Book commoonity(95 friends, family, n acquaintances who know free_range_jesus personally) and to prove my Face Book profile belonged to me.  

I responded with an email ordering Mark Zuckerfuck to bite me.

The Truth About Cease-fire Violations Between Israel and Gaza
http://antiwar.com/blog/2014/02/06/the-truth-about-cease-fire-violations...

"So how have these cease-fire dynamics been covered? We’ve tracked New York Times coverage of the cease-fire during this period. The New York Times is representative of the mainstream and extremely important for shaping public discourse on events and thus an important window into broader mainstream coverage. The Times also has multiple reporters covering these events including a bureau in Jerusalem and a correspondent in Gaza. Finally, we simply can’t track everything so the Times, with its easily searchable history, is an effective example to use.

Of the nearly 120 Israeli cease-fire violations during this period the New York Times reported on 17 of them. Additionally, most of these stories (eleven) came either during the first week of the cease-fire, when the issue was still fresh in readers’ minds, or since the escalation on December 20th. That means for the bulk of this period, during which Israel committed 87 cease-fire violations and causing some 91 Palestinian casualties over nearly a one year period there were only six stories on the topic. This represents a systematic failure to cover Israeli cease-fire violations.

Making matters worse is the way events are covered in the rare instances they are covered. In most cases, Israeli actions are described as a response to Palestinian actions. So while most Israeli cease-fire violations are not covered at all, those that are are explained as justified retaliation. Thus the reader is completely misled about the dynamics of fire, why the cease-fire is threatened and exactly what is going on in and around Gaza.

The biggest challenge to the cease-fire agreement is persistent Israeli violation and the lack of any accountability for them. The politics of the Gaza Strip are complex. Israel says it wants Hamas to control projectile fire from other factions and yet it persistently violates the truce putting Hamas in a position of having to defend Israel’s violations. By targeting groups other than Hamas and by expecting Hamas to crack down on their responses, Israel is playing a dangerous and deadly game of divide and conquer in Gaza that will likely lead to the unraveling of the cease-fire. Once again, Israel has proven security is not its aim, subjugation is."

Jodi Rudoren, Another Member of the Family: Meet the New York Times’ New Israel-Palestine News Chief

http://ifamericansknew.org/media/meet-nyt.html

"Most Americans — particularly those who would object to only white reporters covering racial issues or only male reporters covering gender issues — are reluctant to discuss the potential bias in such a profoundly un-diverse system, having been conditioned to fear that such discussion would be “anti-Semitic” or would open the commentator to this extremely damaging accusation.

In Israel, however, it is considered appropriate to discuss the Jewish roots of American politicians and journalists since Israel was created specifically to be “the Jewish state,” Jews have elevated status in it, and the vast majority of Israeli land is officially owned by “world Jewry” (although some individuals have publicly opted out).

An article on the Jerusalem Post website, a major Israeli newspaper, focuses on this aspect. The article, “Judaism at the New York Times”, reports that “all New York Times’ bureau chiefs for at least the last fifteen years have been Jewish.”"

---
Thought experiment - pick any 5 well known websites, news magazines, news stations, or newspapers.

Jews are 2.5% of the population - it should not be hard to find one where Jewish people are not far more than 2.5% of reporters/managers/owners - right?

Good luck - and keep telling yourself you understand what's going on in Israel/Palestine.

They couldn't have gotten so far without controlling the media. Controlling the narratives, how the masses view the world, and making sure truths and realities won't get exposed (cause the controlled media won't do it) is half of the game. You can't control people if they're aware they're being controlled/abused. The media is one of their most important tools.
They must know truth is leaking out on the internet. This move tries to morph the internet into something that is more like their controlled media.

Good point.  There has obviously been growing discomfort among the Powers That Be about the ability of Little People to reach beyond their immediate social circles and exchange information and critiques without the intervention of tame punditry. The decline of mass media as an instrument of propaganda is a serious problem for those who rule.  Controlling the alternative communications stream is a possible fix.  As we've seen with libraries and schools, as soon as they start filtering for "porn", they can add any number of political and social themes to the forbidden list, insulating those they deem "vulnerable" from any kind of "inappropriate" ideas.  It's just a small step to deem EVERYONE (or like the UN, just the 53% of us with two X chromosomes) vulnerable, and then "protect" us.

How much power does the UN really have. How much of its agenda has been accomplished? Think they will take guns away in USSA?? They do not want civil turmoil from white bread folk, that would slow down the larger agenda. As for the internet, they can try it, but likely such an attempt would actually motivate millenials and the worlds geeks to really go nuts on them..Occupy Wallstreet was a walk in the park compared to what strangling the net would do, the new mega net that guy in New Zealnd is creating would be one answer. In any event, the UN can say anything, but getting govt to go along is someyhing else. I worry as much about corporate entieties, security state defense contractors. They must be starting to sweat ..they know  millions have had it with their bullshit.

The whole thing was of course planned this way long in advance. Political correctnes was set in motion to shut people up so nobody can say anything about anybody without risking defamation. Just look at the reporters that lost their jobs overnight because they dared criticize Israel. Merkl is pressuring Zuckerberg to delete any hateful/rassist comments about the refugees! How fucking insance has the world become.

So what happened is that the U.S. destabilized the entire middle east well knowing that eventually an avalanche of refugees would materialize. And Europe played along by never sending anybody back and Merkl 'inviting' everybody to just come right over! The master plan, concocted by high finance is that without such an influx of people growth in europe would not be enough for them to pay their debts (and go even more into debt). That western Europe is risking everything for these assholes shows who is really calling the shots.

Just as Obama signed the UN Arms Treaty which will make the Second Amendment extinct...

I can assure you nothing is going to make the 2nd Amendment go extinct in the US. There is a very simple law of equal and opposite reaction. If you want to invigorate gun ownership, just intimate that you will be cracking down on it. It's already happened here. If you sign a UN treaty that bans guns, in the US you will see wider ownership as people on the fence will opt to buy one or more. Squeeze ammo supplies and we double down on our next three purchases of it.

If they don't understand this simple, and universal, dynamic we have nothing to fear because they are so psychologically impaired they won't be able to avoid their own obliteration.

If you want everyone in the US to have a gun, make a big deal about banning them. If you want to start a revolution by morning, bail-in banks with depositors money overnight and force their 401(k) to purchase Treasury bills.

Those two actions would be the single best thing to happen to freedom in this country in a long time. If you want to see this clownfuckery end, pray they do both.

Questions you'd better not ask in Canada by
Dr STEPHEN J. SNIEGOSKI

Twitter-launches-war-against-anti-Semitism Jerusalem Post:

Over two years of behind-the-scenes dialogue has led the social media organization Twitter to establish an online “Safety Center” to tackle Internet abuse, including racism and anti-Semitism.

The Community Security Trust, a British organization which protects and defends the Jewish community from anti-Semitism, played a key role in the development of the new tool, along with a number of other “trusted organizations.”

Dave Rich, CST’s deputy director of communications, told The Jerusalem Post that while they recognize that there is still much progress to be made in the battle to thwart online abuse, “generally speaking, we have definitely seen an improvement in how Twitter handles anti-Semitism since our involvement [with the project].”

Labor MP Louise Ellman, a Jewish parliamentarian who last year was the victim of anti-Semitic online abuse, told the Post that she congratulated the CST for its work in making it easier to challenge anti-Semitism online. “The growing use of social media sites for anti-Semitic and other abuse is a menace. This development should restrict the use of Twitter to fan the flames of prejudice and hatred,” she added.

Last year, party colleague Jewish Liverpool MP Luciana Berger was repeatedly targeted with online anti-Semitic abuse, and called for strong action by social media companies.

Police subsequently arrested a man from the city who was later jailed for sending offensive messages to her.
