This is a good opportunity to follow US drone whistleblower Cian Westmoreland (@weltschmerzundsonder) and to re-watch his talk from #33C3:

Also, if you haven't done so yet, please watch the movie "National Bird" by Sonia Kennebeck. Highly recommended.

The world right now.

RAMpage and Guardion:

"RAMpage exploits a critical vulnerability in modern phones that allows apps to gain unauthorized access to the device."

Another one of these PR-oriented security things. Name + logo + website: triple check. Let's wait and see how serious it really is...

Got a cute little ammonite today 😊

Chaosradio #247 jetzt gerade live aus dem #CCCB:

https://streaming.media.ccc.de/chaosradio/cccb

Das Thema ist "Spieleentwicklung", was mich eher weniger interessiert, aber vielleicht will ja jemand reinschauen...

Überlege gerade, in Zukunft etwas mehr auf Deutsch zu tröten... Es gibt überall Baustellen, also kann man eigentlich auch vor seiner eigenen Haustür anfangen 🤔

#Wikileaks: "Now that Reality Winner has plead guilty to a five year plea deal, the Intercept (which is a vital publication) should conspicuously fire those staffers involved in outing her. This step is necessary to regain source trust, to deter abuse of sources, and to show leadership."

Ouch 😄

"ICE hacked its algorithmic risk-assessment tool so it recommended detention for everyone":

#Tails 3.8 has been released:

https://tails.boum.org/news/version_3.8/index.en.html

Please upgrade your sticks soon 🙂

I also found this one (from 2015, among others by Moltke & Poitras):

https://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/16/us/politics/att-helped-nsa-spy-on-an-array-of-internet-traffic.html

which is essentially the other half of the latest Intercept story. Check the document that is linked there. So the equation is:

List of sites from 2012 + background information known since 2015 + new dramatic photos = 2018 Intercept report

I don't want to keep on about this forever, it's still good work and all... but why? It's at most an update, or a recap, but certainly not the story of the year...

Okay, no, it's really bugging me that The Intercept are running this #NSA story only now. Here's the almost identical list of sites, from April 2012:

https://publicintelligence.net/nsa-domestic-collection-points/

They could have run the same thing years ago, even before the Snowden revelations. Taking a shitload of photos for style, and writing lengthy blahblah around it does not make this more newsworthy than it was back then.

*sigh*

"The Wiretap Rooms - The NSA’s Hidden Spy Hubs in Eight U.S. Cities":

https://theintercept.com/2018/06/25/att-internet-nsa-spy-hubs/

I like that after ~1.5 years of "Trump did this", "Trump did that" media organizations are finally focusing on the agencies again. #NSA #ICE

(although *ahem* this list of "points of presence" is hardly news...)

"I'm quite good at using real money for long distance calls. I'm a cointelpro"

"Actually no, I don’t want to hear about how your well-protected ICE agents who violate Americans’ rights, work hand in hand with the CIA and Palantir, and are backed by one of the most powerful countries in the world regardless of how many human rights they trounce on, are in some sort of imminent danger because of a database that’s filled with information they themselves put online. They’re not."

Exactly. It's extremely stupid to place your political agenda over basic human decency. #ICE

This is a good analysis of the situation:

https://jimmysllama.com/2018/06/24/11459/

Politically a bit vague, but still worth the read.

The #Wikileaks Twitter account, and especially the responses there, are really something to watch these days.

Trump supporters are hella confused and outraged how "their" Wikileaks could ever publish something like ICE Patrol (https://ice.wikileaks.org/). They're really making asses of themselves with their super simplistic "good vs. evil" world view (or should I say "white vs. non-white"?).

And Wikileaks finally seems to gain traction again, with a subject going back to their roots. ✊
