Massive Censorship Of Digg Uncovered « OOO A group of influential conservative members of the behemoth social media site Digg.com have just been caught red-handed in a widespread campaign of censorship, having multiple accounts, upvote padding, and deliberately trying to ban progressives. An undercover investigation has exposed this effort, which has been in action for more than one year. “The more liberal stories that were buried the better chance conservative stories have to get to the front page. I’ll continue to bury their submissions until they change their ways and become conservatives.” -phoenixtx (aka vrayz) Digg.com is the powerhouse of social media websites. The concept behind the site is simple. This model also made it very susceptible to external gaming whereby users from certain groups attempt to push their viewpoint or articles to the front page to give them traction. The ring leader of the group is Bettverboten, who issues multiple digg and bury orders everyday. 1. Ron AKA Chronic: You can create another account.
Terror and Play, or What Was Hacktivism? | peter krapp In each case the authorities succeeded in making the Net a safer place for business transactions, but by the same token noncommercial uses of the Internet came under the sledgehammer of mercantile paranoia. Even the spelling of the term that combines hackingand activism has become controversial—if one wishes to emphasize a tech- nological legacy, hacktivism draws on the hacker attitude of hacking asexploring, testing, and creating solutions to technical limitations; if one suspects radicalized activism, hactivism might be the preferred spelling. Whilethe high-tech arsenal may comprise writing a computer virus, defacing a Web site, constructing false mirror sites and diverting Web traffic, or flooding servers in denial-of-service attacks, the ends for such actions are almost neverreducible to a common cause. and computer worms declare themselves interactive digital art projects.

Facebook and Twitter Slam the Door on Would-Be WikiLeaks Avengers Both Facebook and Twitter have closed accounts corresponding to Anonymous, a formerly 4chan-linked group organizing a string of DDoS attacks on organizations that refuse to work with WikiLeaks. We realize that first sentence is quite a brainful; let's break down the drama for newcomers to this saga of politics and technology. WikiLeaks is a controversial (to say the least) whistleblower site. WikiLeaks recently drew the particular ire of the U.S. government after releasing a whopping 250,000 cables from American embassies and diplomats; the cables were first released to news organizations and more than a thousand were then published directly to the WikiLeaks site. Due to political pressure and citing TOS violations, organizations from Paypal to Amazon Web Services began denying service to WikiLeaks.
Right-Wing Group Conspiring to Control Digg Uncovered There's something rotten going on at massive social news site Digg. A sprawling campaign of political conservatives working together on secret mailing lists to orchestrate systematic burying of news stories and other users believed to be politically liberal has been uncovered by an investigation published on today on Alternet. Report author Ole Ole Olson focused on a group called Digg Patriots, which he alleges used a now-deleted Yahoo Groups email list to distribute bury orders for more than 40,000 stories over the past 15 months. In addition to explicitly liberal political articles, "articles about education, homophobia, racism, science, the environment, economics, wealth disparity, world events, the media, green energy, and anything even slightly critical of the GOP/Tea Party/FoxNews/corporations are targets," Olson writes. The Big Picture Not all conservatives on Digg advocate indiscriminate burying of liberal content. The Extent of the Conniving There's no 'algorithm' at digg.

LOIC - Encyclopedia Dramatica Page created by: "LOIC" stands for "Low Orbit Ion Cannon". Common usage It is an app written in C# and developed by praetox that was exploited during Project Chanology to facilitate DDoS attacks on Scientology's webservers. The program itself doesn't control any botnets or the like (at least in its original iterations), but is intended to be used in very large groups, often organized in IRC channels. It is not advisable to use this software, as it facilitates DDOS attacks, which are considered illegal by the FBI and other law enforcement agencies. Related Pages External Links
Digg investigates claims of conservative 'censorship' | Technology Digg's Kevin Rose told his Twitter followers the company was 'looking into' the allegations The popular link-sharing website Digg is investigating claims that a group of the site's "influential conservative" members are systematically downgrading thousands of stories deemed to be "liberal". Online magazine AlterNet claimed to have uncovered a group of Digg members – dubbed "Digg Patriots" – who have "censored hundreds of users, dozens of websites, and thousands of stories" from the site. Kevin Rose, founder of Digg, said via Twitter: "We're looking into this." The six-year-old social bookmarking website ranks submitted web content by the number of times they are ranked up or down. AlterNet claimed the group of Digg Patriots, whose political affiliations are described as "conservative", work to "censor" the prominence of articles "even slightly critical of the GOP/Tea Party/FoxNews/corporations". "To all of our new group members: We are really happy you have joined us at DiggPatriots!
International Laws regarding Hacking by B. J. Deming Since the 1990s, people have been using the Internet as a tool to commit crimes, support terrorism and, reportedly, even to engage in low-scale cyberwarfare, but this has not gone unnoticed. The international community is responding with laws intended to make it easier to investigate and prosecute these crimes across jurisdictions, decrease the anonymity that their perpetrators hide behind and improve the quality and amount of evidence that can be used in court after an arrest has been made. ♦ What is hacking? A hack is when a system is accessed through ways that weren’t intended by its designers and/or operators. ♦ Cybercrime and the law There is big money to be had in computer crime. “The Analyzer” could be looking at a 15-year sentence under U.S. Some other countries, including Germany, have ratified the Budapest Convention on Cybercrime that entered into force on 2004. ♦ Cyberterrorist or Hacktivist? ♦ Cyberwar Making laws regarding hacking is a delicate matter.
16-jarige bekent WikiLeaks-aanval MasterCard.com was 10 uur lang onbereikbaar NOS Een 16-jarige Nederlandse jongen heeft bekend dat hij betrokken is geweest bij de aanval op de website van onder meer creditcardmaatschappij MasterCard. De politie arresteerde hem woensdagnacht in Den Haag. De website van MasterCard werd woensdag platgelegd door hackers en was een groot deel van de dag uit de lucht. MasterCard is één van de bedrijven die geen zaken meer wil doen met WikiLeaks, de klokkenluiderssite die geheime Amerikaanse documenten publiceert. Ook de websites van het Zweedse Openbaar Ministerie, de Zwitserse postbank, de creditcardmaatschappij Visa en de betalingssite Paypal waren slachtoffer van computeraanvallen. De cyberaanvallen zijn gepleegd door sympathisanten van WikiLeaks. Bij de jongen die is gearresteerd is beslag gelegd op computers en digitale gegevensdragers.
Vervolging om nieuwsbericht illustreert probleem censuurknop Journalist Bert Brussen heeft van het Openbaar Ministerie het verzoek gekregen een nieuwsbericht van zijn blog te verwijderen. Maar kan Bert Brussen zich niet beroepen op de persvrijheid? De affaire illustreert duidelijk het probleem van de censuurknop die Hirsch Ballin laatst lanceerde. Bert Brussen publiceerde op zijn blog een nieuwsbericht. Het Openbaar Ministerie vervolgt nu niet alleen degene die de tweet plaatste, maar wil ook Bert Brussen vervolgen wegens bedreiging. Het OM snapt blijkbaar niet dat Bert Brussen de tweet in een andere context plaatste: hij illustreerde hiermee dat via Twitter een bedreiging wordt gedaan. “The punishment of a journalist for assisting dissemination of statements made by others in an interview would seriously hamper the press contribution to discussion of matters of public interest and should not be envisaged unless there are particularly strong reasons.”

"In the public interest, we have today informed the providers of telecommunications services in the country of our decision to suspend the Blackberry services of messenger, email and electronic browsing," stated Mohammed al-Ghanem, the chief of the UAE's Telecommunications Regulatory Authority. "Today's decision is based on the fact that, in their current form, certain BlackBerry services allow users to act without any legal accountability, causing judicial, social and national-security concerns," continued the government's statement. According to al-Ghanem, "It's a final decision," but they are continuing discussions with Canadian-based Research in Motion (RIM), makers of the BlackBerry device. At the heart of the ban is the method in which RIM handles BlackBerry data. We have reached out to RIM for comment.
