by gus 20 Jul '19

20 Jul '19

Coconet is a platform for digital rights movement building in Southeast Asia. Applications close August 11, 2019, 11.59pm (GMT +8). https://coconet.social/apply/ From October 20-26, 2019, Coconet II will bring together 120 people from across Asia: * film-makers * researchers * journalists * human rights advocates * technologists * lawyers * academics The camp will break down silos, catalyse regional networking and collaboration, develop skills, deepen relationships, spark campaigns, and bring new actors into the digital rights field. How the camp works Coconet II will bring together 120 people over six days in the Philippines. The camp will be hosted outside the city and close to nature, to bring people into a more relaxed and creative frame, better catalysing the relationships needed to develop collaborations and networks. The camp uses participatory methodologies to generate ownership over the process, content, and outcomes, encouraging everyone to take responsibility for the event’s success. More than 100 workshops were hosted at Coconet I, almost all run by participants themselves. Coconet prioritises socialising as much as it does knowledge development as such there are a myriad of creative activities, film-screenings, hacklabs, performances, and parties. These create the relationships and enthusiasm that propel our work into the future.

Topics on Internet Censorship and Surveillance (TICS) #2: Call for Papers
by Vasilis 06 Jul '19

06 Jul '19

* Topics on Internet Censorship and Surveillance (TICS) #2: Call for Papers * Online version: https://tics.site/cfp/ The 2nd TICS will focus on AI-assisted information controls. Collocated with the 18th IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on Web Intelligence (https://webintelligence2019.com), October 14, 2019, Thessaloniki, Greece. Abstract The ever-increasing demand for online content moderation and user profiling sees the adaptation of web intelligence concepts that were developed in good faith, into a censorship and surveillance apparatus owned by corporations and national agencies. Consequently, users are bound to an Orwellian Internet where mainstream platforms such as search engines, social media, and content providers place the blame for filter bubbles and extensive user behavioral analysis on artificial intelligence. This is alarming, since it is particularly difficult to distinguish between AI bias and deliberate human intervention. TICS aims to explore the technological, socio-economic, and legal means and driving forces behind these issues, and to propose alternative directions for building a semantic and human-centric web that promotes empowerment of individuals to decide on how their identities are or are not constructed and aggregated online. Topics The goal of TICS is to raise awareness around the implications of network interference, by inviting researchers from complementary disciplines to consider the effect of their own domain on online censorship and surveillance. Along those lines, we invite submissions that address the following topics: - Research on technologies and policies that build upon advancements on the field of web intelligence to imply blocking, limitation or distortion of the availability of network services and online content - The application of web intelligence concepts such as behavioral modeling, data mining, and social network analytics to target groups and individuals by law enforcement agencies and private corporations - The implications of algorithmic and AI-assisted user content classification (such as for identification of hatespeech, copyright, or disinformation) - Novel techniques that leverage web intelligence to defend netizens against censorship and surveillance, or privacy enhancements to the existing AI infrastructure to mitigate these threats - Measurement methodologies that detect network interference or content moderation based on crowd knowledge or web analytics - The socio-economic consequences and implementation limitations and fallacies of upload filters and recommendation systems - Business models and amendments to legal frameworks which promote the use of web intelligence in ways that build a pluralistic, private, and human-centric experience without violating user freedoms * Important dates * Paper Submission due: July 19th, 2019 July 10th, 2019 Notification to authors: Aug 15th, 2019 Final, camera ready papers, due: Aug 25th, 2019 Workshop date: Oct 14th, 2019 * Paper Submission * Paper Submission Page: https://wi-lab.com/cyberchair/2019/wi19/scripts/submit.php?subarea=S04&undi… Submitted papers should be limited to a maximum of 8 pages in the standard ACM 2-column format.

06 May '19

Hello, Our next global south meeting is: May 7th, 1600 UTC in #tor-south, irc.oftc.net If you need help to enter in IRC, please read this wiki page: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/onboarding/IRC You can find the last meeting notes here[1]. Cheers, Gus [1] Global South meeting - April 2019 Agenda ---------- * Updates * Next Tor ideas for Global South * Next Global South Meeting Updates ------------ 1. IFF updates: https://blog.torproject.org/events/internet-freedom-festival-valencia - emmapeel met new translators, for arabic and farsi i am hopeful! also russian and ukrainian - Help our friend Dhyta health treatment campaign: https://www.gofundme.com/f/dhyta039s-recovery - IFF was good, latam meetup was great and very interesting understanding the new challenges but we didn't manage to move our effort and objective out of the first 'temporada' as someone said, we need a new trusted list for redlatam, the TOR global south meetup was great too, we started in eng and we finished hablando español, most of the obj are in progress and we allow local communities to empower themselves in order to amplify the effect to other local communities - Outreach materials: people liked the new outreach materials but the translators want to change the stories a lot.. i think i will need a process to give back their new stories! for example, a Russian translator said that the story about having a clandestine website with abortion information because you protect from the government makes not much sense on the Russian context, but he pointer out that if instead of feminist for abortion she was an LGBT dating site then it was OK - In Las Tormentas people reviewed Tor Browser Manual https://twitter.com/aniphao/status/1114168633058635776 that is the tor browser manual, and various groups reviewed it highlighting words that need context, metaphors literally translated that doesn't make sense in spanish 2. Few days before IFF anandaz and gwolf hosted TICS (https://tics.site), with 2 nice presentations about Tor in Mexico and specifically; Civil Forensic on Removing Roadblocks to the Growth Tor Network from Latin American and Distributed Detection of Tor Directory Authorities Censorship in Mexico 3. Tor meetup on hackvlc, notes can be found here: http://ea5faa5po25cf7fb.onion/projects/tor/wiki/org/meetings/ValenciaMeetup… 4. New main website: two weeks ago tor project launched the new main website https://www.torproject.org with a very old demand from global south: with translations! So, if you don't see your language available in the dropdown menu, you can help translate the new portal. you can ping emmapeel ! arthuredelstein made the stats already: https://torpat.ch/tpo-locales We need more translators and reviewers. let me know if you spot any errors etc. next languages to be released can be previewed at https://lektor-staging.torproject.org/tpo/staging/ 5. Tor Project is going to visit Colombia at the end of this month. We're also attending FLISOL Bogotá: https://blog.torproject.org/events/flisol-bogota 6. egypcio: so, I am still in Fortaleza (Brazil) getting together with people to share more what Tor *really* is; I had few informal coffee breaks with many and could talk about it - and projects that use it - a lot! I also held 2 talks [long ones, about 3 hours each] during the very first CryptoParty in this area (CriptoBaião, https://twitter.com/criptobaiao); slides are up to date and merged with the last talk from yesterday at the Universidade Federal do Ceara (UFC) https://github.com/egypcio/criptobaiao. what about the public? it's super diverse! really, I am still 'in the field' meeting college students and ciberactivists, also people connected to CSIRT and professors, plus journalists and private initiative (always asking if they can run relays, or host and help ideas/project like SecureDrop or GlobaLeaks) - during the talks I did explain 'bout the tools (slides on github are in portuguese, btw). one of the faculties here at the Universidade Federal do Ceará (UFC) asked if someone from Tor would be available for a remote meeting during 26~29/abr, as they are organizing an event to talk about privacy on the internet - they would also like to talk about how the media distorces the image of how games influencing the violence in big cities and how it's connected to people wanting to be anonymous on the net. 7. In May 3 and 4 CryptoRave happens in Sao Paulo, Brazil - https://cryptorave.org Source: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/global-south/2019-April/000239.html
