Зверёк, это отличный тед-ток про прайваси и её значение для общества и отдельных людей, в нём Гринвальд озвучивает то, чем приходится жертвовать людям, которые оказываются в мире постоянного принудительного наблюдения. — “Glenn Greenwald was one of the first reporters to see — and write about — the Edward Snowden files, with their revelations about the United States' extensive surveillance of private citizens. In this searing talk, Greenwald makes the case for why you need to care about privacy, even if you’re “not doing anything you need to hide.” • #прозрачное_общество - urbansheep@gmail.com

О разном понимании хорошего и плохого у простых коротышек и у непростых: “The last point I want to observe about this mindset, the idea that only people who are doing something wrong have things to hide and therefore reasons to care about privacy, is that it entrenches two very destructive messages, two destructive lessons, the first of which is that the only people who care about privacy, the only people who will seek out privacy, are by definition bad people. This is a conclusion that we should have all kinds of reasons for avoiding, the most important of which is that when you say, "somebody who is doing bad things," you probably mean things like plotting a terrorist attack or engaging in violent criminality, a much narrower conception of what people who wield power mean when they say, "doing bad things." For them, "doing bad things" typically means doing something that poses meaningful challenges to the exercise of our own power.” - urbansheep@gmail.com

О том, как возникает выученная беспомощность в мире паноптикона: “The other really destructive and, I think, even more insidious lesson that comes from accepting this mindset is there's an implicit bargain that people who accept this mindset have accepted, and that bargain is this: If you're willing to render yourself sufficiently harmless, sufficiently unthreatening to those who wield political power, then and only then can you be free of the dangers of surveillance. It's only those who are dissidents, who challenge power, who have something to worry about. There are all kinds of reasons why we should want to avoid that lesson as well. You may be a person who, right now, doesn't want to engage in that behavior, but at some point in the future you might. Even if you're somebody who decides that you never want to, the fact that there are other people who are willing to and able to resist and be adversarial to those in power — dissidents and journalists and activists and a whole range of others — is something that brings us all collective good that we should want to preserve. Equally critical is that the measure of how free a society is is not how it treats its good, obedient, compliant citizens, but how it treats its dissidents and those who resist orthodoxy. But the most important reason is that a system of mass surveillance suppresses our own freedom in all sorts of ways. It renders off-limits all kinds of behavioral choices without our even knowing that it's happened. The renowned socialist activist Rosa Luxemburg once said, "He who does not move does not notice his chains." We can try and render the chains of mass surveillance invisible or undetectable, but the constraints that it imposes on us do not become any less potent.” - urbansheep@gmail.com

“Anti Tagging is an app by buffer Renaiss Inc. that detects faces in photos and glitches them out. This is done in an effort to prevent algorithms on social networks like Facebook from tagging photos of people based on their faces. Anti Tagging is currently available on iOS.” • #профото ∙ #безжалостный_постмодернизм ∙ #прозрачное_общество - × × ×

"But the spread of police body cameras is also raising concerns about what is recorded, when and how video might be released to the public, and how the millions of hours of video will be archived and protected from leaks and hackers. Some police unions worry that videos could become tools of management, used by higher-ups to punish an officer they do not like, or that private conversations among officers could go public. The rising use of cameras has put the police in a complex and uncertain landscape of public records law." • #прозрачное_общество - × × ×

That is, has police to become impeccable? I doubt it. POS cashiers are under constant cross-surveillance for many years; has it resulted in much problems for them? - 9000

Кассиры не являются частью общей федеральной/муниципальной системы, и никто не обязывает владельцев этих POS хранить данные (или даже проверять работоспособность). А полицейские записи обычно фиксируются и лежат в архивах. Это не значит, что их не будут терять, когда очень нужно, но в общем и среднем этих записей будет много, они наверняка будут доступны под Freedom of Information для граждан и журналистов, с большим простором для интерпретаций и анализа (даже для неархивируемых записей). В этом море будет удобно и топить важное (для одних), и по мелочам выстраивать общую картину (для других). Но качество самих людей от этого вряд ли поменяется. - × × ×

“The Patriot Act provides for secret warrants to spy on ISPs' customers. These "Section 215" warrants come with gag orders that mean that the company can't disclose their existence. This lack of transparency is ripe for abuse and is bad for ISPs' business. Apple is fighting back with a "warrant canary": they've published a transparency report (PDF) that states "Apple has never received an order under Section 215 of the USA Patriot Act. We would expect to challenge an order if served on us." If they are served with a 215 order in future, their next transparency report will drop this language, omitting any mention of 215, and keen-eyed watchers will know that they've been subjected to a secret order.” • #прозрачное_общество - #крипта - × × ×

"What's interesting about the hot video/photo mobile apps of the moment, Vine, Instagram, and Snapchat, is that, if you believe what Cubitt and Sorgatz are saying, they follow the more outdated definition of photography. You hold the camera in front of something, take a video or photo of that moment, and post it. If you missed it, it's gone forever. What if these apps worked the other way around: you "take" the photo or video from footage previously (or even constantly) gathered by your phone?" • #свободу_форме ∙ #прозрачное_общество ∙ #будущее_мидий ∙ #профото - × × ×

^ очень похоже на мой стиль съёмки, только у меня камера сотен кадров за 10-15 секунд снимать не умеет (да и если умела бы, я бы утомился выбирать), но подход абсолютно этот: выстрелить очередью в проходящего мимо, и выбрать потом в компьютере. Вообще, Тарковский мечтательно рассуждал, что ему хотелось делать кино из снятой подряд жизни, выбирая при монтаже кусочки. - earlyadopter

“Though Twitter is not exactly a new writing technology, it is a technology that is affecting a lot of writers. It used to be a radical cri de coeur to claim, “We live in public.” Like many mantras of the cyber-nineties, this turns out to be mostly true, but misses an even larger truth: more and more, we think in public. For writers, this is an especially strange development.” • #прозрачное_общество - × × ×

"Andrew Pole had just started working as a statistician for Target in 2002, when two colleagues from the marketing department stopped by his desk to ask an odd question: “If we wanted to figure out if a customer is pregnant, even if she didn’t want us to know, can you do that?" #прозрачное_общество - × × ×
