i get this question a lot, and fortunately there are many things we can do and people are already doing. it's developing open source software. it's finding and patching security flaws. it's creating alternative infrastructure so we're less dependent on big tech 1/3

screenshot of a tweet that quotes a tweet by Taylor Lorenz (@TaylorLorenz).

Taylor's original tweet reads:
Leftists refusing to fight some of the most dangerous tech policy of our time while simultaneously complaining about the growing influence of big tech is very frustrating. We need to kill KOSA and these 11 state age verification laws now

the tweet quoting Taylor's tweet reads:
I need to ask this seriously but when people say "leftists need to fight back against x" I really do need to know what the expectation is. Start your own tech company to defeat the other tech companies in the industry? Or torch something?

it wasn't that long ago that hacker ethic was defined in ways with an anarchist bent and while this ethic was not perfect, it is very rare in hacker circles today bc of deliberate depoliticization that detached it from the rest of the world let's make hacking radical again!!

screenshot from the Wikipedia article on hacker ethic. it reads:

1. "Access to computers—and anything which might teach you something about the way the world works—should be unlimited and total. Always yield to the Hands-On Imperative!"
Levy is recounting hackers' abilities to learn and build upon pre-existing ideas and systems. He believes that access gives hackers the opportunity to take things apart, fix, or improve upon them and to learn and understand how they work. This gives them the knowledge to create new and even more interesting things.[12][13] Access aids the expansion of technology.

screenshot from the Wikipedia article on hacker ethic. it reads:

2. "All information should be free"
Linking directly with the principle of access, information needs to be free for hackers to fix, improve, and reinvent systems. A free exchange of information allows for greater overall creativity.[14] In the hacker viewpoint, any system could benefit from an easy flow of information,[15] a concept known as transparency in the social sciences. As Stallman notes, "free" refers to unrestricted access; it does not refer to price.[16]

screenshot from the Wikipedia article on hacker ethic. it reads:

3. "Mistrust authority—promote decentralization"
The best way to promote the free exchange of information is to have an open system that presents no boundaries between a hacker and a piece of information or an item of equipment that they need in their quest for knowledge, improvement, and time on-line.[15] Hackers believe that bureaucracies, whether corporate, government, or university, are flawed systems.

AGE VERIFICATION IS COMING TO THE US AI will monitor your habits to see if you're under 18. if it thinks you are, it'll ask for your ID, otherwise you can't watch age-restricted videos. luckily AI never makes mistakes and YouTube always age restricts videos for good reasons /s

screenshot from the quoted TechCrunch article, which reads:

If the new system incorrectly identifies a user as under 18 when they are not, YouTube says the user will be given the option to verify their age with a credit card, government ID, or selfie. Only users who have been directly verified through this method or whose age has been inferred to be over 18 will be able to view the age-restricted content on the platform.

if an iOS "contact suggestion update" feature is how that Atlantic journalist accidentally got added to the infamous Signal group chat, then accidentally inviting an unwanted person to your chat can happen to you too. fortunately the HuffPost article has instructions for how to disable this

screenshot from the HuffPost article linked in the quoted post. it reads:

If you enable Siri, the feature will automatically suggest new contacts based on emails you receive in Mail and invitations you receive in Calendar. As Apple states on its website, “If you get an incoming call from an unknown number, Siri lets you know who might be calling — based on phone numbers included in your emails.“

To turn this feature off, go to Settings, then Apps, then Contacts, then Siri, or “Apple Intelligence & Siri” on some iOS devices. From there: toggle off “Show Contact Suggestions.”

You can go one step further and tell Siri to stop making “Contact” suggestions based on your app activities altogether. To do that, go to Settings, then Apps, select Siri under Contacts. From there, turn off “Learn from this App.”

if this anecdote is true then FUCKING GEORGE W. BUSH IS MORE ACCEPTING OF TRANS PEOPLE THAN MY PARENTS

screenshot from New York Times article that reads:

Last spring, during a class of 1968 Yale reunion that he held at the White House, Mr. Bush had a particularly striking encounter with Petra Leilani Akwai, who in 2002 had a sex-change operation. At Yale, Ms. Akwai was known as [deadname censored] Akwai.
''I was in the receiving line, I was dressed in an evening dress, and I was being escorted by a male friend from the Yale class of 1986,'' Ms. Akwai said in a telephone interview this weekend from Germany, where she lives. ''And I said, 'Hello, George.' And in order for him not to be confused, in case he hadn't been briefed, because our class was all male, I said, 'I guess the last time we spoke, I was still living as a man.' ''
''And he said,'' Ms. Akwai recounted, '' 'But now you're you.' ''
Ms. Akwai said the president seemed completely comfortable. ''He leaned forward and gave me a little sort of smile,'' she said. ''I thought it was a sincere thing, and it was very charming.''

Counter malign Chinese activity on the continent.

This should include the development of powerful public diplomacy efforts to counter Chinese influence campaigns with commitments to freedom of speech and the free flow of information; the creation of a template “digital hygiene” program that African countries can access to sanitize and protect their sensitive communications networks from espionage by the PRC and other hostile actors; the recognition of Somaliland statehood as a hedge against the U.S.’s deteriorating position in Djibouti; and a focus on supporting American companies involved in industries important to U.S. national interests or that have a competitive advantage in Africa.

this is arguably the most important part: the hacker community has long been a space of radical politics and resistance against fascism, as well as a place to share skills to fight back against repressive regimes all of that is neutralized if these spaces are depoliticized 4/5

screenshot from the pastebin statement linked in the first post of this thread, which reads:

We feel this is yet another step in the depoliticization of the hacker movement — many of the examples given above are in direct contradiction of the hacker ethics upon which the CCC was founded. Seeking truth and upholding human rights seem to be a core values of CCC but their absence here is both conspicuous and incoherent.

Age Verification Hater 🏳️‍⚧️♿🌻@chloetankahhui· Jan 9

ridiculous that an event that directly calls out the AfD for their fascist beliefs also refuses to directly confront a pillar of their platform: Zionism and support for Israel's slaughter of Palestinians. you cannot refuse to take sides in this fight. silence is violence 3/5

screenshot from the statement, which reads:

Independently from whether talks about the Palestinian struggle were given priority in the official program, the absence of self-organized sessions and in general of material traces, left us wondering about what caused this mass silence. This is all the more serious considering the technological aspects of the occupation, the apartheid, and the current genocidal acts in Gaza, as recounted by both independent and mainstream journalism.

As we would find it very scary and problematic to think that all the mentions of the Palestinian genocide could be consciously removed from the program both by CCC organisers and all assemblies, we can imagine that people simply did not dare to contribute a critique or position on the matter. So what brought speakers to self-censor, systematically omit speaking about Gaza, and avoid addressing the war crimes commited by the Israeli army? Was this a result of speakers' "personal" preferences only?

screenshot from the pastebin statement linked in the first post of this thread, which reads:

We suspect that the reason for the massive self-censorship was partly due to the lack of spaces to debate and organize with concerned people about international, decolonial issues, including the Palestinian genocide. During the self-organized session, we established that many of us felt isolated, worried and frustrated, even paranoid or afraid. This suggests the need for another type of space at CCC, and/or for a self-critique from the assemblies that are dedicated to radical politics and/or freedom of expression and/or human rights.

We acknowledge the role that Germany's history and its current position (to finance and arm Israel while repressing solidarity towards Palestine) plays in this mass silence and self-censorship. However, being silent turns into complicity with the current genocide being commited in Gaza by Israel.

Age Verification Hater 🏳️‍⚧️♿🌻@chloetankahhui· Jan 9

the behavior at 38C3 discussed in the statement is ridiculous given that Israel's genocide and the West's support for it is an integral part of the rise of fascism we are seeing globally. refusing to mention Israel's exploding pagers as a war crime is also ridiculous 2/5

screenshot from the pastebin statement linked in the first post of this thread, which reads:

For starters, at CCC we have experienced:

a near absence of talks and interventions tackling the many technological aspects of the ongoing genocide and apartheid, with the exception of Rainer Henak's talk on the infamous Lavender "algorithmic murder machine" as well as the talk by CADUS that carefully avoided any possibly divisive points.

it is also noteworthy to point out the speakers of "Security Nightmares" did not mention the war in Gaza focusing only on the war in Ukraine. Even the detonated pagers in Lebanon were qualified as "ethically questionable" and not as a war crime and violations of human rights, as it has been internationally established and agreed upon. It was all the more disheartening that the discussion was quickly brushed off and entirely evaded.

screenshot from the pastebin statement linked in the first post of this thread, which reads:

even in the distros and stands that kept materials from liberation struggles all around the world, total absence of materials regarding Palestine even in stands and spaces that are invested in the Palestinian liberation movement.

what we feel is a systematic sabotage of support for Palestine, e.g. the repeated removal of Palestinian flags and stickers, and the replacement/overwriting of sentences and slogans in support of Palestinians with zionist slogans. Example: https://pouet.chapril.org/system/media_attachments/files/113/748/346/815/280/482/original/5ce62adf98dfe8d6.jpg

creenshot from the pastebin statement linked in the first post of this thread, which reads:

a speaker wearing a T-Shirt depicting an armed Israeli soldier in front of an Israeli flag with the caption "NOT ALL HEROES WEAR CAPES". When signaled to the awareness team afterwards, the person was warned the next morning that similar transgressive statements won't be further tolerated and security instructed to keep an eye on him on his remaining other talks.

trolling by a group of Israeli supporters towards a jordanian speaker ("Disaster Capitalism in Gaza (Call to Action)"), requiring them to distance themselves from Hamas, during the Q+A of a talk focused on a technical solution to a "humanitarian" problem.

this is shameful. the Chaos Computer Club, Europe's largest association of hackers, has been censoring discussion of Palestine and criticism of Israel ironic given the theme of this year's #38c3 event was about the rise of fascism and direct action 1/5 pastebin.aquilenet.fr?e76122dbb9db...

screenshot from the pastebin statement linked in this post. it reads:

Let's talk about not talking about Gaza

To the Chaos Computer Club, and to the larger community that makes the Chaos Communication Congress happen.

Congress has been a place for policitized hackers from all around the world to meet, share and learn. Yet this year's 38C3 event has been lived by many of us as an awkward space of silencing and self-censoring with regards to the Palestinian genocide. We couldn't help but feel terrified at that, although not completely surprised.

It has been dreadful to once again hear discussions in which the only "argument" issued was "it's a complex situation" when trying to face the harsh reality of a 2 million people country being destroyed, blocked and bombed with barely any food or clean water, while one of the last running hospital was bombed three days before [1].

As an heterogeneous group of people that are part of communities that are interested, active or impacted by the struggle for liberation of the Palestinian people, we've felt necessary to start this discussion.
