I'm afraid I see more and more how the on-field activist people use
facebook (YES, I saw it), google mailing-list, google accounts without
encryption, whatsapp, and the list is more and more terrific...
I talk about Sudamerica. But I saw it either in other places.

I'm not IT professional, then even when I can talk their language
(because IT people talk in other language, impossible to journalist or
activist) they - in 95% of the cases - don't care.

I can count on my horror list even lawyers fighting for HR or govs
censorship! NGOs, ...

They now all about Snowden and net neutrality bot they don't know and
- as say before, in general - don't care, about OTR, free software, etc.

 I think that's plenty of software that are used by activists and
 journalists on field in difficult places that have a lot of
 insecurities, being graphical software, data collection software, web
 editing software, etc, etc
 
 While our hackish communities mostly focus on the security
 softwares, on-fields the people use just general purposes sofware for
 doing general purpose works, but that's where the adversary able to
 MitM a connection, can leverage stupid bugs to inject directly or
 indirectly monitoring malware.
 

The adversary has the work so easy...one part because of the lack of
interest
of the technical people to *really* explain the the tools (not only
suggest links)
to the non technical, without expect that a lawyer, an activist or a
journalist
became hackers; and the other part because of the lack of interest (or a
kind of over confidence?) of the non-IT group.

It's a real problem we observe and try to solve here, but in general,
without mentionable results. I hope we can reverse it.

Re: [liberationtech] Tailored Crypto Workshops in Brussels

2014-08-30 Thread Cristina 

 Hello,
 
 I'm a bit shocked by the content of this email.
 
 Securing data of persons as important as the European Commission
 Officials should be the full time work of a dedicated elite infosec
 crew. I would be very surprised if there were no such things in place.

 Piotr Chmielnicki
 

you can continue shocking because as far as I could know, that's not
only an EU problem: the same issue exists across Sudamerica and we fight
hard to awaken lawyers, top level officials and EVEN the Press (so
proud, nothing would ever happen to them!) about the importance of
security measures.

Most of the time, useless time...

I praise Jan's proposal. I believe he knows as myself what it's the sad
truth and want to change it.

Regards,

Cristina

This is grossly demonstrated in the negotiations conducted by Facebook
with the Israeli government to censor the Palestinians [0], and the
meetings that the two companies had with China and other countries
without democracy governments.
I was reading more examples in these years, but now I'm lazy to look for
them: you can find them in a quick search.

What I see as an increased problem is the fact than people seems to be
more anesthetize about the use of Internet that in the past: nobody
(*even* IT people) wants to use emails anymore. I suffer it on my own
interactions. If even my close contacts (included "activists") refuse to
use emails... what can i do? to remain alone or to adapt to the majority
and to do what I know is not correct?
Is an obvious thing we need to rise our voices, the danger is to become
as hamsters running inside a wheel and believe we are going a long way.

I agree on most people is using FB, Telegram, WA, and Google products to
interact and search for information. I agree on Thomas' observations,
but in the middle we have a problem: the vacuum has to be filled... with
education? with what?
I don't know. But to say "people is dumb" is not enough and will not
stop them, specially those living under desperate situations.
I don t know the answers, I try to find them and experiment with
possible solutions since years, and the scenario turn worse from the
past to now.

I think all the critic voices need to join on try to find an accessible
solution for the ones that are in real harm because if it s just to
criticize them it will not change anyway.

Love,

Cristina (99)

I'm really tired of this fight, at the same time I can't abandon it

··· part of the reasons: Internet today is harder than before, its
almost impossible to navigate, lots of newspapers bloke the navigation
unless you take off your add blocker or subscribe to them, the net
neutrality is almost lost on the papers, but I see is already lost in
fact in different scenarios. Devices are each year more difficult to
hack to install them Free Software, and so on. And so on.

I-do-know-it.
But are the ones we have  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Education is not functioning, not on large scales, not even in small
scales... i would say is a one-by-one very slowly process. And that
doesn't help (again) on situations like huge oppressions, Human Right
violations over thousands and millions of people. The heavy pressure of
the world order we are living in and the speed of changes (social and
technological ones) are going faster than our tiny efforts.

I agree on call things by their proper names.
I don't know if the solution is to try to implement on school the
teaching of PGP (not even on hight school or equivalent): if we are
talking on large education is the only massive way. Once you are alone
and have to look for the education by yourself very few people do it,
and you can't find easily something if you don't even know what you are
looking for. It remains me to an spiritual exploration...
Tell me how could it be possible to implement a change on educational
curricula in favor of freedom of people and I send you a present to any
place of the world were you were.

People usually learn that technology (and implications of technology, in
general) from themselves and as I said above: even on those cases they
will be isolated for a long time from their close buddies and co workers
and even jobs, because it's not easy or quickly to have the disposition
to change.
In the end I agree with you: is a sociological problem. And as we know,
those kind of problems can't be solved by using force or imposed
changes. I only see a light on this path on awakening one person here,
other there.. maybe 5 on the other side... until all collapse and then
we could have a renovated attitude from our fellow human beings to do
something different.

I'm apologize about my poor English vocabulary, and about my tiredness.
I will not follow (at least today) the discussion on the thread because
takes me a lot of time to redact/compose in English.
Thanks for reading and for the exchange.

[liberationtech] The Olympics and Social Movements

2012-08-04 Thread Cristina Bejarano 
Dear Colleagues,

The Olympics have often given activists the opportunity to use the
international media attention to achieve the freedom of speech they lack
in their own countries. As part of the Sound Ethnography Project organized
by UCI anthropology graduate students, I recently contributed a piece
about the tragic events of the 1968 Summer Olympics where a vibrant
student movement was quashed just ten days before the opening ceremony.
Every year on October 2nd, thousands gather at La Plaza de las Tres
Culturas in Mexico City to remember the dozens of students who lost their
lives that day. I invite you to read my brief piece entitled October 2nd
is Not Forgotten and to listen to a fifteen minute recording of the
gathering that took place on the 43rd anniversary of the tragedy. They can
be found at http://soundethnography.com/.

I look forward to reading your comments.

Thank you,
Cristina

It seems Thomas you are from a country that privilege free speech over
any other human right. To know what are we talking about when we claim
about freedom of speech there is a document from NU that explain that
human right (notice than HR are not ideal ideas descending from Heaven:
they are agreements made after abuses from a part of the humanity
against other people, in fact US didn't ratify most of the HR agreements).*
Free speech cannot be allowed if it contain racial, religious, gender or
any other similar discrimination, because could become an apology for
xenophobia, etc.
There is a thin line between freedom of speech and apology of
violence/crimes/etc. and not always is simple to identify where one ends
and the other starts, then sorry, but is not as simply as "you have the
right of don't listen to it".

Good advices. I will suggest one more to Maria and the rest of the
readers too: take a look at http://sister-hood.com/ and to the work of
this amazing woman, Deeyah Khan http://deeyah.com/. She is an
inspiration and a dedicate worker for Human Rights and she understand
particularly the muslims people -specially women- situation on the light
of the "war against terrorism". You will not regret of reading and
contact those references I'm sharing with you.

In hope of peace,

Press Release

*1st FEMINOISE INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL*

*Feminoise*invites you to be part of this experience, by assisting,
living, sharing the message and experiencing this event that we present
this day to the public, after months of work, giving it to Light.

We will have the presence of artists and communicators both local,
coming from different Argentinian provinces and international, whom will
travel specially for this event.
Brasil, México, Venezuela, Uruguay, Bolivia, Chile are some of the
countries who confirmed their spot on the festival.

*City of Buenos Aires, January 27th, 2019.*

From April the 4th to April the 6th of 2019 the *First International
Feminoise Festival* will be held in the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina,
created collectively and self-managed.

During the days of the 4th and 5th of April, there will be *workshops,
talks, exhibits, installations and later live shows* of artists and
technicians both women and also genre disident individuals, around
sound, movement and audiovisual expression, de-colonized, no longer
adapted to conformity, cathartic and empowering.

Workshops and conferences that will give DIY (“do it yourself”) tools in
different disciplines, related to technology and emancipation, with
different gender perspectives. From electronics, the manufacture of
different materials, sound equipment to care and self-defense.

On the Saturday, 6th of April there will be a *Feminoiser Party*, with
*live sets and performances*, in its special and joyful format.

*We at Feminoise *are a loving sisterhood of women and gender identity
dissident individuals, that while varied in our origins and paths, are
united.

This is because we have understood we are not alone and beyond the fact
that each of us may follow it’s personal way, we no longer want to
continue the way we were: isolated. Therefore we get together to share
and generate, transmit and learn, to build our world and banish that
which seems harmful to us.

We are noise for those who are still within conforming boundaries.

We are perfume for those who can smell freedom. From our fleeting
interventions, we leave prints here and there but most prominently in
Latin America, making echoes in several parts of the world.

*Feminoise* presents itself as a collective even though a lot of us are
recognized individually, because we believe that nothing can be more
healing than to share our experiences with each other while we go
transforming us and everything around us.

We create without putting a stop to disciplines and spaces. We start
from the artistic language because it’s one that distinguishes no bounds.

We put the body of habit and limitation, to release ourselves from the
memories that keep us in a state of anguish. We open ourselves to
generate the escape of that trap towards new movements and new sounds.

We are a secret that manifests itself, then keeps itself hidden and then
unexpectedly emerges with even more strength: a finding to ourselves and
everyone.

Our*festival* distinguishes itself from others by its *collective*
nature: we are not different personalities that are summoned by an
organization, we come together by our own will. We generate it together,
even over geographic and socioeconomic barriers, from Latin America,
with everything that’s implied by that context these days.
We do not want to promote an art style or a specific set of aesthetics,
nor to rank any artist in comparison with another.
We make the ideas, organization and realization of the festival an
enriching experience out of itself. And this is for everyone a turning
point, of a strength and impact that is radically distinctive.
