Lo scrittore genovese #MarcoSommariva mi ha chiesto per #OsservatorioRepressione come mai la società italiana NON ha mai prodotto una #ChelseaManning, un #DanielEllsberg o un #EdwardSnowden. E io ho risposto in questa intervista

https://www.osservatoriorepressione.info/colpevole-di-giornalismo-smargini-02/

uno scandalo dietro l'altro.
Stragi, depistaggi, rapimenti come nel Cile di Pinochet.
Questi i servizi segreti italiani

NON hanno MAI prodotto un solo whistleblower che ha avuto integrità di #DanielEllsberg,#ChelseaManning,#EdwardSnowden,#TomDrake,#BillBinney.

Today is the 10 year anniversary of #CITIZENFOUR, the out-in-theaters release in the United States was 2014 October 24

if you've never seen it, i highly recommend it! much of the government surveillance that it highlights are either still in practice or are being done by other governments all around the world

here are some old photos i made back on the opening night at SIFF Cinema in Seattle

#OnThisDay, June 5, 2013, The Guardian newspaper in the UK published the first article based on NSA documents leaked by whistleblower Edward Snowden, indicating mass surveillance by the US government (depicted in Snowden, 2016)

Today in Labor History May 20, 1949: The U.S. established the National Security Agency. It is now the nation’s largest spy agency. The NSA currently engages in worldwide mass data collection as well as physically bugging targets. They were likely behind the Stuxnet software attack that severely damaged Iran’s nuclear program. The NSA spied on anti-Vietnam War activists and continues to spy on U.S. citizens. Many of their secret surveillance programs were leaked by Edward Snowden, who was forced to flee the country. He is now living in exile in Russia. Private companies, like AT&T and Verizon have collaborated with the NSA to help them spy on U.S. citizens. They supposedly have access to all communications made via Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Yahoo, YouTube, AOL, Skype, Apple and Paltalk.

I’d like to say the good news is that the vast majority of this data is pornography. Problem is, they’re using people’s porn habits to discredit and embarrass them, particularly Muslim clerics and activists. According to a July 2014 report in the Washington Post, 90% of those being surveilled by the NSA are ordinary Americans, not intended targets. But since they’re surveilling every communication made by nearly everyone in the U.S., they’re surveilling pretty much everyone. So, the obvious question is: Why are 10% of all Americans (a full 33 million people) considered targets? And if there really are 33 million of us who are opposed the U.S. government, how come we keep ending up with such shit politicians?

Things That Can and Cannot Be Said: Essays and Conversations by Arundhati Roy & John Cusack, 2024

An activist and an actor reflect on Edward Snowden and the surveillance state in this collection that “reads like a whistleblower’s travel diary” (Disorient). In late 2014, Arundhati Roy, John Cusack, and Daniel Ellsberg traveled to Moscow to meet with NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden.

How do I disable these silly warnings? Security issues don't affect me, I have Windows Defender enabled, McAfee antivirus, I use Nord VPN, and I've block the hashtags #Hackers, #EdwardSnowden, #Hacker, #Hacking, & #HackThePlanet. My Raspberry Pi server is Fort Knox.

Hey kids! Here's a fun letter from a US senator addressed to the US Dept of Justice claiming that foreign government agencies are asking to spy on Google and Apple users through push notifications.

There is a big way that I relate to #edwardsnowden #hacking #technology #infosec

We have all had that feeling where we find out something extremely broken in our #workplace
Or #company or #society or #relationships

And you tell the right people, because you want to fix it.

And nobody does anything.

Nobody cares.

For me, this reverts to being a #helpless child inside.

Have you guys felt like this before? Please say yes because I feel crazy

Hallo @AufstandLastGen
eben habe ich (und sehr viele andere Leute) eine Email mit einem Link zu einer Umfrage zur Altersstruktur eurer Unterstützer erhalten. Eure Initiative in allen Ehren. Aber warum in Himmels willen verwendet ihr Google Docs?!
Diese Datenkrake sammelt ALLES was sie in die Finger kriegt um es dann mit Sicherheitsbehörden in den USA (und über diesen Umweg dann auch in D) zu teilen (#PRISM #EdwardSnowden).
Eure Umfrage ist eine perfekte Datensammelaktion für die Polizei.
Die Klimabewegung kann sich nicht einerseits beschweren kriminalisiert zu werden und andererseits so töricht und naiv sein und genau den Behörden die sie überwachen und kriminalisieren Daten über sich mehr oder weniger frei Haus zu liefern. Stirnklatsch!
Datensicherere Alternative wäre (z.B.) gewesen:

Today in Labor History June 15, 1917: President Woodrow Wilson signed the Espionage Act into law. The law targeted leftist, anti-war and labor organizations, especially the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), which was virtually destroyed because of the arrests and deportations of its members. When Eugene Debs spoke against the draft in Canton, Ohio, he was arrested and sentenced to 10 years in prison. He ran for president from prison in 1920, winning nearly 1 million votes (3.4% of the total). The government used the law to arrest anarchists Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman and deport them to the Soviet Union. They used the law against the Rosenbergs, whom they executed. They also used it against Daniel Ellsberg, whose “Pentagon Papers” were published by the NY Times 50 years ago this week. The Espionage Act is still on the books and was used recently to prosecute Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden.
