  • Facebook. New Year’s Eve. Direct Object References. Pardon?

    2013/01/02 23:04:36 GMT

    Somehow in the haze of leftover mince pies and champagne, I missed something which redoubtable Aussie Unix-god Alan Hargreaves just brought to my attention: Alan: Going to write anything about the facebook privacy screw up on new years messaging? I was stunned that that code made it live. I might have expected it in the

  • France’s censorship demands to Twitter are more dangerous than “hate speech” | Glenn Greenwald /ht @mssarakelly #MUSTREAD

    2013/01/02 18:00:00 GMT

    This is a must-read critique in the Guardian, of foolishness that is also in the Guardian; clearly Jason Farago doesn’t realise that when you meet bad speech with good speech, the latter criticises the former… Writing in the Guardian today, Jason Farago praises France’s women’s rights minister, Najat Vallaud-Belkacem, for demanding that Twitter help the

  • 2012: The year Irish newspapers tried to destroy the web – McGarr Solicitors – Dublin

    2012/12/31 12:16:08 GMT

    Well, gosh darn, every citation in every white paper, every reference in every book is basically a link and therefore basically chargeable. They should start with the universities, instead… This year the Irish newspaper industry asserted, first tentatively and then without any equivocation, that links -just bare links like this one- belonged to them. They

  • It’s technical leadership like this which demonstrates how the NSA is at the forefront of Cybersecurity

    2012/12/30 17:40:35 GMT

      I’m … shocked.  No-one in the private sector would ever have considered protection of data in transit. It’s this sort of foresightedness which amply demonstrates how private sector companies can never hope to compete with the expertise of the likes of NSA, CESG, DSD, etc, in protecting critical infrastructure. Via; see also commentary below.
