President Obama Is Waging a War on Hackers | WIRED

war on whistleblower and investigative journalism. // "In next week’s State of the Union address, President Obama will propose new laws against hacking that could make either retweeting or clicking on the above (fictional) link illegal. The new laws make it a felony to intentionally access unauthorized information even if it’s been posted to a public website. The new laws make it a felony to traffic in information like passwords, where “trafficking” includes posting a link. [...] But they are blunt political solutions which reflect no technical understanding of the problem." // &! huffingtonpost.com/2015/01/20/obama-hackers_n_6511700.html &! entrepreneur.com/article/242099 &! america.aljazeera.com/opinions/2015/1/in-obamas-war-on-hackers-everyone-loses.html "Both steps would not only be ineffective at improving cybersecurity in any practical sense but also further empower the government to go after activists and journalists such as Barrett Brown,

january 2015 by asterisk2a
[Bullying move and Example Case. A warning shot.] Mit dem Urteil gegen Brown, der zuvor für Titel wie "Vanity Fair" oder "The Guardian" geschrieben hatte, setzen die US-Behörden ein deutliches Signal an die Medien, so die Einschätzung von "Heise Online". Der Schuldspruch solle die Gefährlichkeit von Kontakten zu Anonymous verdeutlichen. In der Urteilsbegründung werde darauf verwiesen, dass sich der erste Verfassungszusatz zum Thema Meinungsfreiheit nicht auf die kriminelle Veröffentlichung von Links erstreckt.
