Israeli ultra-orthodox #Haredi newspaper edited female world leaders off the picture of Sunday’s rally
Ils n’avaient pas beaucoup de travail chez Haredi vu que les femmes se comptaient deja sur les doigts de la main d’un homard.
Donc, faire disparaitre les femmes de l’espace public. Faire disparaitre les femmes tout court, un peu comme en Arabie saoudite, exemple pris tout à fait au hasard. Ce sont des mecs dont on se demande s’ils pensent parfois à qui les a enfantés.
Décidément, en ce moment, tout ou presque nous fait aller mal :(
je ne sais pas si ca va te remonter le moral mais pour l’effaçage des femmes chez Haredi c’est pas la première fois :
et perso c’est pas cet effaçage qui me préoccupe mais plutôt le fait qu’il y ai aussi peu de femmes à l’origine sur ces photos et que ces machos israeliens ou saoudiens (cf Ikéa) aient si peu de travail à faire vu que les machos « modérés » ont déjà oeuvrés.
Sinon le fait d’évoqué les mères (ou soeurs ou filles) pour parler des femmes c’est maladroit car les misogynes ont des mères et les femmes ne sont pas toutes mères et même quant elles le sont, c’est préférable de ne pas les réduire à ce rôle vu que c’est ce rôle qui sert à leur oppression. L’idée aussi qu’on aime et respecte forcement sa mère ne me semble pas évidente.
Bon de toute façon c’est pas nouveau qu’on efface les femmes de l’espace publique, on les efface de l’histoire, on les efface de la culture, on les efface de la terre, on les efface du vocabulaire alors les effacé des photos c’est la petite pointe de l’iceberg qui au moins à le mérite d’être visible.

PEN America: “The Harm Caused by Surveillance...is Unmistakable”

"The latest survey found that writers living in liberal democratic countries ’have begun to engage in self-censorship at levels approaching those seen in non-democratic countries, indicating that mass surveillance has badly shaken writers’ faith that democratic governments will respect their rights to privacy and freedom of expression"

“Global Network Interference Detection over the RIPE Atlas Network” de Collin Anderson, Philipp Winter et Roya
Existing censorship measurement platforms frequently suffer from poor
adoption, insufficient geographic coverage, and scalability
problems. In order to outline an analytical framework and data
collection needs for future ubiquitous measurements initiatives, we
build on top of the existent and widely-deployed RIPE Atlas platform.
In particular, we propose methods for monitoring the reachability of
vital services through an algorithm that balances timeliness,
diversity, and cost. We then use Atlas to investigate blocking
events in Turkey and Russia. Our measurements identify under-examined
forms of interference and provide evidence of cooperation between a
well-known blogging platform and government authorities for purposes
of blocking hosted content.
Facebook and Twitter control the news, and this is bad news
Selon Emily Bell du The Guardian, les processus éditoriaux ne devraient pas être contrôlés par des algorithmes.
L’actualité sur beaucoup de plateformes de ce genre est déterminée par l’ampleur des réactions de ses utilisateurs, ce qui pourrait renvoyer à l’ombre d’importantes discussions sociétales.
Un écosystème qui préférencie certaines catégories de news peut être une menace pour la démocratie.
Sociologist Zeynep Tufekci noted after the riots in Ferguson that although many news items were being posted to Facebook, she initially saw none of them in her feed, just ice bucket challenges. That led her to speculate that algorithmic filtering could potentially mute important stories.
[...]
Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, WhatsApp and what’s next are and will continue to be making editorial decisions on our behalf. [Dick] Costolo [Twitter CEO] taking his first editorial stance is significant because he was public and unapologetic about removing material that he felt did cultural and economic damage to Twitter. The Facebook algorithm, and other sorting processes, are both more opaque and less accountable. The decline of the newspaper, and the subsequent closure or shrinking of newsrooms, not only leaves news unbound, it also removes the culture of editorial filtering. Centuries of human debate over cultural values, expressed in everything from intrusive splashes to grandiose editorials, are disappearing to be replaced by a black box.

What Happens to #Ferguson Affects Ferguson : — The Message — Medium
►https://medium.com/message/ferguson-is-also-a-net-neutrality-issue-6d2f3db51eb0
Ferguson is about many things, starting first with race and policing in America.
But it’s also about internet, net neutrality and algorithmic filtering.
(...)
But those very factors often make it less likely such places make the news, except as trouble spots. Places to be ignored. Avoided. “We” hear it only through official statements, often dismissing local concerns, painting them as looters, thugs, troublemakers.
Yes Ferguson will make news, another friend tweeted, because… well, here you go: Twitter.
(...)
This unfolded in real time on my social media feed which was pretty soon taken over by the topic — and yes, it’s a function of who I follow but I follow across the political spectrum, on purpose, and also globally. Egyptians and Turks were tweeting tear gas advice. Journalists with national profiles started going live on TV. And yes, there were people from the left and the right who expressed outrage.
(...)
And then I switched to non net-neutral Internet to see what was up. I mostly have a similar a composition of friends on Facebook as I do on Twitter.
Nada, zip, nada.
No Ferguson on Facebook last night. I scrolled. Refreshed.
This morning, though, my Facebook feed is also very heavily dominated by discussion of Ferguson. Many of those posts seem to have been written last night, but I didn’t see them then. Overnight, “edgerank” –or whatever Facebook’s filtering algorithm is called now — seems to have bubbled them up, probably as people engaged them more.
(...)
This isn’t about Facebook per se—maybe it will do a good job, maybe not—but the fact that algorithmic filtering, as a layer, controls what you see on the Internet. Net neutrality (or lack thereof) will be yet another layer determining this. This will come on top of existing inequalities in attention, coverage and control.
(...)
But maybe in the future, they don’t have to bother to arrest journalists and force cameras off. In California, legislation is being considered for “kill switches” in phones — a feature I honestly cannot imagine a good use for this in the United States.
(...)
But keep in mind, Ferguson is also a net neutrality issue. It’s also an algorithmic filtering issue. How the internet is run, governed and filtered is a human rights issue.

Australia bans reporting of multi-nation corruption case involving Malaysia, Indonesia and Vietnam
►https://wikileaks.org/aus-suppression-order/press.html
Joie de la censure, l’Australie abuse de son système pour plaquer les détails d’une grosse affaire de corruption dans laquelle son gouverment est mouillé.
Today, 29 July 2014, WikiLeaks releases an unprecedented Australian censorship order concerning a multi-million dollar corruption case explicitly naming the current and past heads of state of Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam, their relatives and other senior officials. The super-injunction invokes “national security” grounds to prevent reporting about the case, by anyone, in order to “prevent damage to Australia’s international relations”. The court-issued gag order follows the secret 19 June 2014 indictment of seven senior executives from subsidiaries of Australia’s central bank, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA). The case concerns allegations of multi-million dollar inducements made by agents of the RBA subsidiaries Securency and Note Printing Australia in order to secure contracts for the supply of Australian-style polymer bank notes to the governments of Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam and other countries.
"Germany has a censorship federal agency called BPjM which maintains a secret list of about 3000 URLs. To keep the list secret it is distributed in the form of md5 or sha1 hashes as the “BPJM-Modul”. They think this is safe. This leak explains in detail that it is in fact very easy to extract the hashed censorship list from home routers or child protection software and calculate the cleartext entries. It provides a first analysis of the sometimes absurd entries on such a governmental Internet censorship list."

Turkish authorities defied court orders and reaffirmed a ban on YouTube imposed after the posting of illicit recordings of top secret security talks that was cited by Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan as part of a “dirty campaign” to topple him. Authorities imposed the ban on Google’s video-sharing site on March 27 in the build-up to local elections, after weeks of leaked wiretaps which had emerged online, allegedly uncovering corruption in Erdogan’s inner circle. Erdogan emerged from the polls with his popularity largely intact. read (...)
