Prosecutors used the same legal strategy against Barrett Brown as they did me. Are you next? | Ladar Levison

While I can’t speak to Barrett’s case detail, he claims (and I believe) that the government made at least 41 false statements against him. During his pre-sentencing allocution, for instance, Barrett reminded the court that, at his bond hearing, a federal agent swore “that I have lived in the Middle East, a region I have never actually had the pleasure of visiting.”
It reminded me of a similar, easily disproven, statement made in my own case
(...) We were both singled out by the government for what they thought we could – and would – tell them about other people. When we resisted, they twisted our words, our actions and the law. The result has been a set of disturbing court decisions that may give the government the ability to selectively prosecute anyone they wish. This time it was a journalist. Next time it could be you.

Barrett Brown has been sentenced to 63 months in prison | The Verge
▻http://www.theverge.com/2015/1/22/7871317/barrett-brown-sentencing-anonymous-stratfor
After years of legal battles, Barrett Brown’s legal saga has finally come to a close. Today, the independent journalist has been sentenced to 63 months in prison, after pleading guilty to charges of transmitting threats, accessory to hacking charges, and interfering with the execution of a search warrant. As Brown’s legal team described the charges in the run-up to sentencing, “This breaks down to uploading YouTube videos that contained unfortunate statements, efforts to redact sensitive e-mails that had been procured by hackers, and hiding laptops in a kitchen cabinet.”
Brown had closely followed Anonymous during on the Stratfor hack (...) “The fact that the government has still asked you to punish me for that link is proof, if any more were needed, that those of us who advocate against secrecy are to be pursued without regard for the rule of law, or even common decency,” Brown told the judge.

Palantir : Unlocking Secrets, if Not Its Own Value - NYTimes.com
▻http://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/01/business/unlocking-secrets-if-not-its-own-value.html
Founded in 2004, in part with $2 million from the Central Intelligence Agency’s (#CIA) venture capital arm (#IN-Q-Tel), #Palantir makes software that has illuminated terror networks and figured out safe driving routes through a war-torn Baghdad. It has also tracked car thieves, helped in disaster recovery and traced salmonella outbreaks. United States attorneys deployed its technology against the hedge fund SAC Capital, which was also an early investor in the company.
(...) Its advisers include James Carville, the Democratic strategist; Condoleezza Rice, the former secretary of state; George J. Tenet, the former C.I.A. director; and Michael Ovitz, the former head of Disney Studios and Hollywood superagent.
(...) difficile de faire plus #silicon_army que ça, mais ce sont quand même des « idéalistes » qui veulent « sauver le monde » :
“When you are saving the world, fighting fraud and slave labor, you can do great things,” Mr. Karp said. Palantir does not charge for most humanitarian work, which is a source of internal pride. “What concerns me,” he said, “is working with commercial entities, and non-U.S. governments.”
(...) Palantir has worked to recover from its own ethical lapses, but Mr. Karp acknowledges that it cannot control the ethics of its customers.
(...) Palantir is not the first company dealing with big data that has been conflicted between ideals and commerce.
Palantir began in the mind of Peter Thiel, the Silicon Valley investor and PayPal founder
sur l’affaire Anonymous :
In 2011, the world got a taste of what could go wrong with Palantir’s confluence of commerce and surveillance. Along with two Beltway intelligence firms, a Palantir employee had pitched a Washington law firm on ways that it could expose the workings of WikiLeaks, the group that publishes secret government and private-sector information. The pitch included the idea of using disinformation and cyberattacks.
The idea fizzled, but Anonymous, the loosely associated network of cyberactivists, posted both the pitch and emails indicating that Palantir also proposed creating misinformation about journalists, including Glenn Greenwald, who wrote in support of WikiLeaks and who recently shared a Pulitzer Prize for his articles on Edward J. Snowden’s leaking of National Security Agency spying documents.
Mr. Karp publicly apologized to Mr. Greenwald. On the recommendation of an outside law firm, the employee was suspended for a while, but still works at Palantir.
et encore, à propos des capacités de google :
Courtney Bowman, a former Google employee, works at a Palantir as a “civil liberties engineer,” (...): “I was a quantitative analyst at Google, doing ad auction design and targeting,” he says. “I had access to ways of deriving personal identity information without breaking any laws. It was a constant anxiety to me.”

“The big reason this matters is that he transferred a link, something all of us do every single day, and ended up being charged for it,” said Jennifer Lynch, a staff lawyer at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, an advocacy group that presses for Internet freedom and privacy. “I think that this administration is trying to prosecute the release of information in any way it can.”
#Barrett_Brown makes for a pretty complicated victim. A Dallas-based journalist obsessed with the government’s ties to private security firms, Mr. Brown has been in jail for a year, facing charges that carry a combined penalty of more than 100 years in prison.

ACCUSÉ D’ÊTRE UN « HACKER », LE JOURNALISTE BARRETT BROWN RISQUE 105 ANS DE PRISON
▻http://fr.rsf.org/etats-unis-accuse-d-etre-un-hacker-le-11-07-2013,44922.html
Reporters sans frontières est alarmée par les charges qui pèsent actuellement sur le journaliste d’investigation américain Barrett Brown, collaborateur de The Guardian et Vanity Fair. Avant son arrestation en septembre 2012, Brown, 31 ans, enquêtait sur les contenus de plus de cinq millions de mails devenus accessibles suite au piratage des sites internet et serveurs de la société de renseignement privée Stratfor. Ces mails ont été finalement publiés par WikiLeaks. Brown est détenu dans un établissement fédéral, sous le coup d’accusations pouvant entraîner au total une condamnation de 105 ans de prison. Son procès doit s’ouvrir en septembre prochain.
The strange case of Barrett Brown - what happens when you peer too closely into the murky world of protected unethical security contractors who overstep their role...

it’s a #MUSTREAD
Some journalists are now understandably afraid to go near the #Stratfor files. The broader implications of this go beyond Brown; one might think that what we are looking at is #Cointelpro 2.0—an outsourced surveillance state—but in fact it’s worse. One can’t help but infer that the US Department of Justice has become just another security contractor, working alongside the HBGarys and Stratfors on behalf of corporate bidders, with no sense at all for the justness of their actions; they are working to protect corporations and private security contractors and give them license to engage in disinformation campaigns against ordinary citizens and their advocacy groups.
