[liberationtech] Request: quantify how use of analog currency contributes to gov actions
I recently wrote an article discussing the use of a crypto currency as a means to selectively divest from your governments actions [1]. Selective in that you can choose some to use fiat, and sometimes not. Similar to how we selectively care about the environment by sometimes recycling and sometimes not. While withholding taxes is probably the most effective means of divestment this is not really possible. but it seems to me that avoiding using a USD, or NIS, somehow contributes to the reduction of the economy size and currency base that can be watered through pumping more paper into the supply. But I have little proof of this and would be happy if someone could point me where to RTFM. Until now in discussion I use two analogies to convince someone that reducing paper currency supply effects gov action. 1: two trillion for two US wars and near two trillion (much of it printed) for the recent bailouts is not a coincidence. 2: there is a reason china and other nations argue for an internationalized reserve currency instead of USD. would be happy for comments or assistance in this debate 1. https://medium.com/@cyphunk/use-a-crypto-currency-end-a-war-166816dc4f2 -- Liberationtech is public archives are searchable on Google.

Re: [liberationtech] when you are using Tor, Twitter will blocked your acc
Well.. NOT using Twitter, Facebook, Google, etc. is not an option if you really want to reach the masses. If it were feasible to keep being even a minimally effective activist, and not just Yet Another Nano Protester, it would be too easy. The question, in my opinion, would then be how to use Twitter, Facebook, Google, etc., in a manner that their apparent unfriendliness towards free speech, privacy, liberty, is reasonably mitigated, if not circumvented altogether. The latter question is much harder. Good moment to remember Johann Sebastian Bach's alleged last words: Life is Hard! And, of course, like a good francophile, in closing, I drop a quotation from Gilles Deleuze, which goes something like this: il faut reterritorialize the establishment to subvert it!

Re: [liberationtech] Ecuador towards the pos-capitalism: copyleft politics
Bernardo, This and other news from Flok Society is inspiring. But I find it useful to force a critical perspective. Thus * What actual policies is the national government of Ecuador taking that adopt Free/Libre Open Knowledge recommendations arising from this (and other, some continuing) process? * Nations are complicated, and they do not really speak with one voice expressing one single interest. Ecuador has not shown itself to be exempt from this. Even as it allows for community enterprise, it also works to exploit its oil wealth. This raises the question: How are these economic and social forces to be reconciled? Is there to be more transparency and accountability for the oil industry's actions in the country? (Accountability could mean here something more than just announcing it. It could mean being subject to the popular will, and especially the will of those most affected. That will could be made manifest via modern means.) Thanks louis On 09 Jun 2014, at 01:50, Bernardo Gutiérrez bernardobra...@gmail.com wrote: Hello you all.

Excellent email talking about the tradeoffs and problems with just treating Tor as always-legitimate all-the-time. FWIW, Mike Hearn has talked a little bit about Google's process (as of a few years ago) with generic anonymizing networks (like Tor, which I will use interchangably), and it was roughly, login with Tor, do an extra verification step, and your account is flagged as 'Tor friendly' and you don't need to do that again. Twitter requires an email. My thought would be that logins via Tor and other anonymity networks need to use 2FA. Either the Code Generator, SMS, or email-click-a-link. Either that, or require it on first Tor-login, and flag the account as not needing it going forward. -tom -- Liberationtech is public archives are searchable on Google.

[liberationtech] Use GNU social or similar as static-IP Twitter-proxy (was: when you are using Tor, Twitter will blocked your acc)
2014-06-08 23:58 skrev Jacob Appelbaum: I've had my twiter account locked half a dozen times (web client, using Tails) in the last few weeks. It seems to be some new security heuristic where one is still able to login to change the password but the account is locked from generating new public (or DM) events. It is a super annoying security feature to say the least. It's easily solved by simply not connecting to their service by first-hand. Use a proxy or something similar and this problem will go away. Personally I was using a GNU social instance as sort of a Twitter proxy (posting, importing, replying) until I felt it was time to delete the Twitter account entirely. Besides GNU social (previously StatusNet, it was running in identi.ca) there's a couple of other alternatives, one of which is Friendica. These software - besides being fully libre and open source - are actually full-blown federating social networks which easily replace many features from the proprietary networks. But maybe, as the argument usually goes must be where everyone else are, these free social softwares might act best as a simple static-IP-proxy for tweeting. Benefits are: 1) Not tracked as easily using IP-based methods. 2) If using tracking countermeasures, not banned as often. ;) 3) You can decide yourself to set it up as, say, a Tor hidden service. Considering how I believe very few on this list actually trust Twitter (nowadays at least), I figured it would be good to introduce the mentioned non-replacing alternatives. -- Mikael Nordfeldth https://blog.mmn-o.se/ XMPP/mail: m...@hethane.se -- Liberationtech is public archives are searchable on Google.

Seth David Schoen wrote: It seems obviously crazy to me for Twitter to prevent people from accessing it over Tor, both in light of widespread censorship of Twitter on different networks and in light of governments' attempts to find out where users of services are connecting from. Yes, agreed. I have to wonder what the origin of this sudden policy is. And, is it a policy directed at anonymous users? Or is it just certain IPs being marked as malicious and blacklisted? On the other hand, if a service is viewing anomalous originating IP address as an indicator of compromise, then using Tor destroys that information source. For example, if Twitter whitelists Tor exit nodes and says that connecting from them is never viewed as suspicious, then anybody who knows this and compromises a Twitter user's account can just use the stolen account over Tor and never get detected or blocked. Well a clearly this isn't a definitive this user is not up to anything bad setting, but rather they need a more holistic approach here. Their policy here is very opaque. But if the goal is to avoid automated activity (follow/unfollow/spam/messaging etc), then there are other approaches that could work just as well. Why not captcha these activities if the user comes from Tor or an identified proxy? Is this a pain in the ass for users? Yes. Is it going to prevent them from expressing themselves anonymously online? No. ~Griffin -- Liberationtech is public archives are searchable on Google.
