LeakSource | Your Source for Leaks Around the World! Qu’est-ce qu’un média en 2014 ? Décryptage de la définition proposée par Om Malik, fondateur du site GIGAom et désormais capital-risqueur, qui vient de faire la synthèse dans un article de ce qu’il avait appris sur l’univers des médias au cours de sa carrière de journaliste. Il y décrit en passant ce qu’est un média à notre époque : “tout ce qui retient l’attention“. C’est à mon sens la meilleure définition possible. Pourquoi ? Parce qu’un média n’est plus, comme dans le passé, une entreprise qui publie des contenus sur du papier, des ondes ou des écrans. Simplifié, sous l’effet des technologies numériques, en se démocratisant. (CC) Juan Cristóbal Cobo Mais, de ce fait, tout est également devenu plus complexe. Tous ces concurrents luttent aujourd’hui pour une denrée de plus en plus rare avec la progression de la surinformation : l’attention du public. * Un “shadow competitor” est un produit qui en concurrence un autre sans lui être directement confronté dans la même industrie.
Quinn DuPont - cryptography, philosophy, software studies Flong - Interactive Art Snowden est-il finalement protégé par le Whistleblower Act ? | Snowden, espionnage et démocratie Interrogé sur l’affaire Snowden, Barack Obama a surtout mis en avant les risques pour la sécurité des États Unis : « Our nation’s defense depends in part on the fidelity of those entrusted with our nation’s secrets. If any individual who objects to government policy can take it in their own hands to publicly disclose classified information, then we will not be able to keep our people safe, or conduct foreign policy. » « First Amendment to the United States Constitution » Le « First Amendment to the United States Constitution » est le quatrième amendement du « Bill of Rights » de 1791. « Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. » c‘est-à-dire : « Espionage Act of 1917 » « Whistleblower Protection Act of 1989 »
Qui détient (vraiment) les clés d’Internet ? C’est l’un des secrets les mieux gardés et comme tous les grands mensonges, il est énorme. Le concept d’une gouvernance globale d’Internet est un mythe: non seulement, le World Wide Web n’est pas autogéré mais il n’est pas si mondial que ça et il est même très américain. Et si en 2014, nul ne peut superviser le contenu du réseau, il existe, en revanche, quatorze "key holders", gardiens des clés, divisés en deux équipes (Est et Ouest). Sans compter sept autres personnes en back-up capables de rebâtir le World Wide Web en cas de défaillance. Dans des data centers aussi sécurisés qu’une centrale nucléaire, les gardiens du temple procèdent ainsi depuis 2010 à de mystérieuses réunions qui nécessitent un quorum d’au moins trois de ces "key holders". Les plombiers d’Internet Ce que contrôle cette clé centrale est le "serveur-racine", ou système des noms de domaines (DNS). « Nous devons d’abord être annoncés et confier nos passeports à des gardes armés…» Anne-Marie, "Crypto officer"

Edward Snowden says Hillary Clinton 'ridiculous' to think emails were secure | US news Edward Snowden has branded as “completely ridiculous” the idea that Hillary Clinton’s personal email server was secure while she was secretary of state. The National Security Agency whistleblower was speaking in an interview with Al-Jazeera. In 2014, Clinton accused Snowden of inadvertently helping terrorists. On Thursday, Snowden was asked what he would say to Clinton now that she is being investigated for sending emails containing classified information while using a private server. “This is a problem,” Snowden said, “because anyone who has the clearances that the secretary of state has, or the director of any top-level agency has, knows how classified information should be handled.” Asked if Clinton “intentionally endangered US international security by being so careless with her email”, Snowden said it was not his place to say. He did comment on Clinton’s choice of email server, Platte River Networks. Snowden was not concerned.
Video: Watch The Banned Edward Snowden Interview Before It's Removed A year ago, National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden was interviewed on the German television network ARD. What many Americans may be unaware of is that the Edward Snowden interview was intentionally blocked from the US public with none of the major new outlets covering the interview or its contents. YouTube has even taken steps to remove the post as soon as it is reposted. The video got a wide viewing in Europe and it is not only an important interview when it comes to the vast surveillance state that is currently constructed, but is also still future. Snowden explained to German television (oh the irony here is rich) how tyrannical surveillance programs erode human rights and individual liberty and freedom. According to Snowden, his “breaking point” was “seeing Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper, directly lie under oath to Congress” with his denial of the existence of a domestic spying programs in March 2013. “If I am traitor, who did I betray?”
