#Cyber Duck And Cover /ht @flyingmonkeyair @fcwnow @AmberInsideDOD
Sigh. Not merely do we get this: While DOD’s rules of engagement will direct military action in cyberspace, a wider national-level doctrine should lay the groundwork for a more comprehensive range of issues related to cybersecurity, from federal guidelines to everyday activities, Sample said.

The global war on free speech – Telegraph #MUSTREAD especially for the Conservative-inclined such as @ukhomeoffice
The power relationship shifted. Gone were the days when a mere citizen would have to send a letter to their MP, who would occasionally deign to reply. Mostly they didn’t, seeing engagement or accountability as an intrusion on their valuable time. That has changed, thank goodness, and cannot be reversed. The moment George Osborne’s assistant…

British Cybersalary Clippings

That was in 1988. “Cyber Specials” – HomeOffice (current) The Home Office, which received £63m under the programme, will lead the work in the Strategy on tackling cyber…

ORG London October Podcast: Dominique Lazanski on “Should the UN take over the Internet” /cc @openrightsgroup
An upcoming meeting of the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) in Dubai in December is widely tipped – and denied – as being the kickoff of a international power-grab for governance and control over the Internet.
