Photo by KHALIL MAZRAAWI/AFP/Getty Images Keeping track of the avalanche of reports about new mass surveillance initiatives and Internet freedom crackdowns can be a difficult task. But soon there could be a solution to the problem: a global monitoring system that will help chart digital repression by mapping the Internet’s "cyber geography" in near real time. The idea spins off of a strategy called “No Disconnect,” which was launched last year by the European Commission, the EU’s executive body. No Disconnect aims to provide citizens in non-democratic countries with tools to fight “arbitrary censorship restrictions and protect against illegitimate surveillance.” It was largely inspired by the indiscriminate spying, tracking, and Web filtering exposed during the Arab Spring in countries such as Syria and Libya, sometimes assisted by Western technology firms. Now, the team behind the strategy are building what they call a “European Capability for Situational Awareness.”

La Télé-démocratie 1Depuis les « techno-discours » qui, « à des niveaux culturels et idéologiques très divers, viennent activer et dynamiser la puissance de la technique, en célébrant ses vertus et presque son culte » (Janicaud, 1985) jusqu'aux analyses très ponctuelles consacrées à telle ou telle expérience, les nouvelles technologies de la communication ont engendré toute une gamme de discours prospectifs et/ou récapitulatifs qui méritent l'attention. Parmi eux, nombreux sont ceux qui portent plus spécialement sur les implications que ces technologies peuvent avoir dans le domaine politique. En particulier, leurs relations avec une amélioration éventuelle du fonctionnement de la démocratie ont été largement étudiées, dans le cadre d'une réflexion sur ce que l'on peut appeler la télé-démocratie. Ce sont les courants principaux de cette réflexion qu'on tentera de dégager, en mettant l'accent sur les problèmes proprement politiques (et non technologiques) que ces courants abordent ou ignorent.

Key to achieving this is our adherence to the principles of net neutrality that are endemic within our projects and activities. Web 2.0, in particular, has connected communities and mobilised movements through sharing, cooperation, collaboration, and collectivism – something Tim Berners-Lee, the creator of the World Wide Web, himself says was the whole point of the web in the first place.

Call to Action: Reclaim Pride From the 1% #OccuPride #OccuPride #OccuQueers #Tranarchism #PinkBlocGlobal Facebook eventMany more events are listed below the call to action!If your organization would like to endorse the call to action, or if you have events to add, please e-mail lgbtq@occupywallst.org. Pride 2012: The Struggle for Sexual and Gender Justice Continues This summer, communities across the world will celebrate Pride Festivals commemorating the birth and victories of the Gay and Trans Liberation Movements. From California to North Carolina, and around the world, our relationships remain under assault by the State. For too long, we have been force-fed an ¨LGBT Rights¨ program centered largely around the priorities of wealthy gay cisgender white men (whom writer Allison Kilkenny aptly referred to as the 1% of the LGBTQ community). We've been pushed away from the collective struggle for economic equality and gender/sexual self-determination for our communities, and toward fighting for "inclusion" and tolerance. Why #Occupy Pride?
Internet gap hits poorer children, campaigners claim 14 January 2014Last updated at 14:48 ET By Patrick Howse BBC News, education reporter One in ten pupils in the UK has no access to the internet at home The education of 500,000 children in the UK is suffering because they have no home internet, campaigners say - with the poorest often most at risk. Mind the Gap, a newly launched campaign group, says schools expect children to use the web at home for homework, revision and independent study. The group is asking for corporate and individual donations to widen home access to the web. It wants to extend internet access to 100,000 more children within a year. In England, the campaign group will also encourage schools to use the pupil premium - a grant paid to schools by the government to help disadvantaged children - to buy equipment and pay for broadband connections. A school whose pupils are all online at home will be recognised by Mind the Gap as "digitally inclusive", and the campaign will help schools that want to achieve the status to do so.
