Hashtag Activism, and Its Limits
If you “like” something, does that mean you care about it?
It’s an important distinction in an age when you can accumulate social currency on Facebook or Twitter just by hitting the “like” or “favorite” button.
The ongoing referendum on the Web often seems more like a kind of collective digital graffiti than a measure of engagement: I saw this thing, it spoke to me for at least one second, and here is my mark to prove it. MORE HERE

Pentagon revamps rules of engagement for cyberwar
The Pentagon is rewriting the book on how it defends against and possibly responds to cyberattacks against the United States, the top uniformed officer in charge of the effort told Congress on Tuesday.
Gen. Keith Alexander, head of the new Cyber Command, on Monday shed more light on the Pentagon's plans to draft rules of engagement for fighting in cyberspace. Alexander first revealed DOD’s plans for the rules during a March 20 hearing of the House Armed Services Emerging Threats and Capabilities subcommittee. MORE HERE

Kim Dotcom: US Military Had 15,634 Megaupload Accounts
In recent weeks the battle has continued to save the data stored at the now-defunct site Megaupload. Contrary to the image painted by the entertainment industries, untold numbers of people used the file-hosting service for completely legitimate sharing. Today we can reveal that not only did people at the Senate, Department of Homeland Security, FBI and NASA hold Megaupload accounts, so did more than 15,600 members of the US Military.

The Pirate Bay Plans Robot Drone Servers to Dodge Law Enforcement
File-sharing site The Pirate Bay is planning to build robot drone planes to host its servers in the sky. That way, the thinking goes, law enforcement won’t be able to seize their machines without committing overtly aggressive acts such as firing the flying servers down with anti-aircraft weaponry. MORE

Was our interview with LulzSec hacker an FBI set-up?
News that the hacker Sabu worked with the FBI after his arrest casts new light on interviews he gave during that time – including one with New Scientist
IN THE early hours of 30 June last year, my time spent monitoring the Anonymous chat room finally paid off: "Sabu" would grant me an interview.
I had become a familiar name to some of the key figures in the hacktivist group, as well as their more aggressive sub sect, LulzSec. Most of them would not do interviews so it came as a big surprise that night when LulzSec's de facto leader agreed to tell me his story in private. Looking back, in the light of last week's news of his arrest, I realise perhaps all was not quite as it seemed. MORE HEER

WHY I GO TO THE SQUARE As they beat
Thais, a young photographer and video artist, winner of our contest video about the elections, " Eye for an Eye , "said OPENSPACE.RU about how she was beaten at the picket in support of Hope and Mary Tolokonnikova Alekhine (presumably - members of the group Pussy Riot) March 14 the building of the Moscow City Court. Barefoot beat her, Alexander, a member of the Presidium of association.
In his LiveJournal, he writes : "Although perhaps the next time still to be meat. Too many I called and they found fault that did not call. To arrange a lynching is quite possible - to collect 50-100 people, perverts dragged by the hair into the crowd and link up to the cops. And what is there in the crowd to make them fulyuhany - ktozh knows? ....
by the way received the full approval of his actions from the head of the AOC and Zhuravleva. Vsevolod Chaplin. True scolded me that matter ... but that was it, the emotions. "
We stood in solitary pickets, as expected, one at a distance of thirty meters. first came Nashi, easily recognizable by the level of intelligence. In addition, I have seen them before. They were, as always, with two cameras, asking provocative questions vile. For example, how we relate to orgies and when the next (but much more than a dirty word used). There is one among them is the vile, who parasite on Pussy Riot , he calls himself Dick Riot , and wears a black hat is the same. One of the commissioners as "Nashi" calls himself a "freelance journalist". He immediately began to insult me as a woman. Then, when it beat me, he, too, was detained under the hot hand. He sat there in the paddy wagon without the cap. Miserable so very afraid, and asked me to confirm that he did not attack, do not hurt me, even asked for forgiveness. I confirmed and he was released. But, in general, after the "Nashi" have appeared at some point, a man and a woman. They began to pour all of us with water, the water they had plenty of bottles in a bag. At the same time saying no, no, do not worry, this water is holy. If the request does not sprinkle it continued. Sprayed in the face. I now realize that this too was violence.

NO YOU SHUT UP
Japanese researchers have created a hand-held gun that can jam the words of speakers who are more than 30 meters (100ft) away. The gun has two purposes, according to the researchers: At its most basic, this gun could be used in libraries and other quiet spaces to stop people from speaking — but its second application is a lot more chilling.

"I can haz Habeeuz Corpuz? " (from comments!)
Idlepigeon sez, "Canada's government has moved to call Anonyomous to testify before the House Affairs Comitte, over threats made to a minister who's been pushing to pass Bill C30---online surveillance legislation. In this very funny piece from the Globe and Mail's Tabatha Southey, the entire Internet shows up to testify."

Harun Farocki — Ein Bild / The Image (1983)
Harun Farocki: Four days spent in a studio working on a centerfold photo for Playboy magazine provided the subject matter for my film. The magazine itself deals with culture, cars, a certain lifestyle. Maybe all those trappings are only there to cover up the naked woman. Maybe it’s like with a paper-doll. The naked woman in the middle is a sun around which a system revolves: of culture, of business, of living! (It’s impossible to either look or film into the sun.) One can well imagine that the people creating such a picture, the gravity of which is supposed to hold all that, perform their task with as much care, seriousness, a responsibility as if they were splitting uranium. This film, An Image, is part of a series I’ve been working on since 1979. The television station that commissioned it assumes in these cases that I’m making a film that is critical of its subject matter, and the owner or manager of the thing that’s being filmed assumes that my film is an advertisement for them. I try to do neither. Nor do I want to do something in between, but beyond both. (Harun Farocki, Zelluloid, no. 27, Fall 1988) VIA

My Student, the 'Terrorist'
Pale and gaunt, he stood there, having endured three years of pretrial solitary confinement. "Alhamdullilah," he said.
Yes. He had allowed an acquaintance to stay with him in his student apartment in London—an acquaintance who had raincoats, ponchos, and waterproof socks in his luggage, which the acquaintance later delivered to Al Qaeda.
One day before his case was set to go to trial, nearly four years after he had been arrested, Syed Fahad Hashmi, a U.S. citizen, accepted a government plea bargain on one count of conspiracy to provide material support to terrorism.

We are fighting Islamism from ignorance, as we did the cold war
Were we wrong? I have lived through two global conflicts: the west against Russian communism and now the west against political Islam. The latter was caused by western leaders exaggerating a threat from a tiny group of terrorists to win popularity in war. But the former? Surely the cold war was a good war, a Manichean struggle between competing visions of how to order humanity. If not, then it must have been one of the great mistakes of all time, and a horrific waste of resources.
