ロシア政府がredditの薬物関連のスレを削除しないとアクセス禁止すると警告“Russian regulators in charge of the company's absurdly aggressive Internet filters have threatened to ban Reddit if the website doesn't remove a single, unspecified thread from the website.”
“Germany's black-red "grand coalition" government has now tightened the rules for awarding sensitive public IT contracts.(中略) A spokesperson for the Ministry of the Interior said that the aim of the new rule is to prevent "the flow of data worth protecting to foreign security authorities."”
"Russia had passed a new law that required bloggers to registers, and included a variety of other restrictions on their speech as well.(略) the Russian government is getting ready to implement it, and it appears that they're threatening to block access to Facebook and Twitter to enforce the law."
“VentureBeat is reporting that, partly inspired by all of the Snowden revelations, researchers at Google are looking at ways to make encryption much easier within Gmail. ”

“If the specifics of preventing certain items from being printed proves too difficult (or too easily circumvented), the "DRM" may instead force printer owners to use only "approved" files.”
“Another day, another leak released from the Ed Snowden files. The latest: evidence that the UK's equivalent of the NSA is tapping into fiber optic cables to hoover up all sorts of internet data , similar to the NSA.(中略)The tapping is done on transatlantic cables.”
“So even if the question as to the efficacy of encryption itself is still rather up in the air, there seems to be a consensus that the real weakness lies in letting people gain access to your system.”
“The creatively named Good Morning to You Productions, a documentary film company planning a film about the song Happy Birthday, has now filed a lawsuit concerning the copyright of Happy Birthday and are seeking to force Warner to return the millions of dollars it has collected over the years.”
