TECHNOLOGY‘TWEETS MUST STILL FLOW’ IN SOME COUNTRIES BUT NOT OTHERS

SAN FRANCISCO (The Blaze/AP) — In what seems like a slightly reluctant move, Twitter has refined its technology so it can censor messages on a country-by-country basis. This means that the site will block a tweet containing content that could be breaking the law in a country — but for that country only.

In a blog post entitled Tweets Must Still Flow, Twitter states:

As we continue to grow internationally, we will enter countries that have different ideas about the contours of freedom of expression. Some differ so much from our ideas that we will not be able to exist there. Others are similar but, for historical or cultural reasons, restrict certain types of content, such as France or Germany, which ban pro-Nazi content.
Until now, the only way we could take account of those countries’ limits was to remove content globally. Starting today, we give ourselves the ability to reactively withhold content from users in a specific country — while keeping it available in the rest of the world. We have also built in a way to communicate transparently to users when content is withheld, and why.

This additional flexibility announced Thursday is likely to raise fears that Twitter’s commitment to free speech may be weakening as the short-messaging company expands into new countries in an attempt to broaden its audience and make more money.

But Twitter sees the censorship tool as a way to ensure individual messages, or “tweets,” remain available to as many people as possible while it navigates a gauntlet of different laws around the world.

Twitter will post a censorship notice whenever a tweet is removed. That’s similar to what Internet search leader Google Inc. has been doing for years when a law in a country where its service operates requires a search result to be removed.

Like Google, Twitter also plans to the share the removal requests it receives from governments, companies and individuals at the chillingeffects.org website.

The similarity to Google‘s policy isn’t coincidental. Twitter’s general counsel is Alexander Macgillivray, who helped Google draw up its censorship policies while he was working at that company.

“One of our core values as a company is to defend and respect each user’s voice,” Twitter wrote in the blog post. “We try to keep content up wherever and whenever we can, and we will be transparent with users when we can’t. The tweets must continue to flow.”

Twitter, which is based in San Francisco, is tweaking its approach now that its nearly 6-year-old service has established itself as one of the world’s most powerful megaphones. Daisy chains of tweets already have played instrumental roles in political protests throughout the world, most notably in the uprising that overthrew Egypt’s government a year ago.

It’s a role that Twitter has embraced, but the company came up with the new filtering technology in recognition that it will likely be forced to censor more tweets as it pursues an ambitious agenda. Among other things, Twitter wants to expand its audience from about 100 million active uses now, to more than 1 billion.

Reaching that goal will require expanding into more countries, which will mean Twitter will be more likely to have to submit to laws that run counter to the free-expression protections guaranteed under the First Amendment in the U.S.

If Twitter defies a law in a country where it has employees, those people could be arrested. That’s one reason Twitter is unlikely to try to enter China, where its service is currently block. Google for several years agreed to censor its search results in China to gain better access to the country’s vast population, but stopped that practice two years after engaging in a high-profile showdown with China’s government. Google now routes its Chinese search results through Hong Kong, where the censorship rules are less restrictive.

In its Thursday blog post, Twitter said it hadn’t yet used its ability to wipe out tweets in an individual country. All the tweets it has previously censored were wiped out throughout the world. Most of those included links to child pornography.

FINANCEFITCH GOES ON A DOWNGRADE SPREE, 5 EU NATIONS HIT

U.S. ratings agency Fitch has downgraded the credit ratings for five European nations including leading economic heavyweights Italy and Spain.

The agency on Friday lowered credit ratings for the five nations by one notch and placed a negative outlook on all of them, as well as on Ireland. Those nations downgraded included Belgium, Cyprus, Italy, Slovenia and Spain.

Italy went down to A- credit rating while Spain was downgraded to A. Ireland’s BBB+ rating was affirmed but it also received a negative outlook.

Belgium: AA+ to AA
Spain: AA- to A
Italy: A+ to A-
Cyprus: BBB to BBB-
Slovenia: AA- to A

Fitch Ratings blamed the revisions on “the marked deterioration in the economic outlook” in Europe and “the absence of a credible financial firewall against contagion and self-fulfilling liquidity crises.

It said that European leaders “gradualist” approach to tackling the crisis meant that Europe will continue to face episodes of severe financial volatility that would erode government’s ability to repay debt.

European leaders have been criticized for moving too slowly in tackling the crisis, which started in October 2009 when Greece admitted it was in deep financial trouble. Led by Germany, the eurozone’s largest member, governments have resisted sweeping solutions such as pooling their borrowing power in so-called eurobonds and have balked at increasing the financing of their bailout funds from €500 billion. Efforts have focused instead on making bailed-out countries try to cut spending and reduce their budget deficits. The 17 members have also agreed to come up with a treaty requiring national laws to limit deficits.

At the World Economic Forum gathering in Davos this week, leading European finance chiefs have sought to reassure anxious global business leaders that Europe is on track to solve its debt crisis.

Fitch said the eurozone’s difficulties would be compounded by a shrinking economy, now that many economists expect at least a mild recession.

Judging by the wording of the Fitch report, the agency doesn’t seem to have a lot of faith in the EU to resolve its financial issues (via Business Insider):

In Fitch’s opinion, the eurozone crisis will only be resolved as and when there is broad economic recovery. It is evident that further substantial reforms of the governance of the eurozone will be required to secure economic and financial stability, including greater fiscal integration.

However, as BI notes, perhaps these downgrades shouldn’t come as a huge shock, especially “after S&P cut the long-term issuer ratings of nine eurozone countries two weeks ago.”

SCIENTIST CALLING OUT THE EXTREMIST----16 SCIENTISTS HAVE A MESSAGE FOR ELECTED OFFICIALS ON GLOBAL WARMING: ‘DRASTIC ACTION’ UNNECESSARY

Scientist Calling out the EXTREMiST----16 SCIENTISTS HAVE A MESSAGE FOR ELECTED OFFICIALS ON GLOBAL WARMING: ‘DRASTIC ACTION’ UNNECESSARY

A wide range of scientists and engineers from institutions around the world have signed an opinion piece published in the Wall Street Journalwith a message for elected officials and candidates with regard to global warming.

Here‘s the gist of the 16 scientists’ message addressing the growing political sentiment that something must be done for the environment before it’s too late:

There is no compelling scientific argument for drastic action to “decarbonize” the world’s economy.

So why are many scientists and those in public office pushing an alarmist message that the world is already behind on curbing the effects of man-made global warming? (Related: See The Blaze coverage of the United Nation’s climate conferences) The scientists write that there are many reasons but suggest we first look at “cui bono?”, which means “as a benefit to whom”. Translated into today’s language, the scientists write to “follow the money”. The scientists expound on this idea:

Alarmism over climate is of great benefit to many, providing government funding for academic research and a reason for government bureaucracies to grow. Alarmism also offers an excuse for governments to raise taxes, taxpayer-funded subsidies for businesses that understand how to work the political system, and a lure for big donations to charitable foundations promising to save the planet.
[...]
Even if one accepts the inflated climate forecasts of the IPCC, aggressive greenhouse-gas control policies are not justified economically.
A recent study of a wide variety of policy options by Yale economist William Nordhaus showed that nearly the highest benefit-to-cost ratio is achieved for a policy that allows 50 more years of economic growth unimpeded by greenhouse gas controls. This would be especially beneficial to the less-developed parts of the world that would like to share some of the same advantages of material well-being, health and life expectancy that the fully developed parts of the world enjoy now. Many other policy responses would have a negative return on investment. And it is likely that more CO2 and the modest warming that may come with it will be an overall benefit to the planet.

The scientists write in the piece that those considered “heretics” in the climate science world is growing over the “collection of stubborn scientific facts”, most notable of which is “the lack of global warming for well over 10 years now.” The scientists suggest that the International Panel for Climate Change’s models are “greatly exaggerated” as to the warming caused by an increase in CO2 levels.

The scientists state that even younger generations of scientists have their “doubts” but are afraid to voice these opinions:

They have good reason to worry. In 2003, Dr. Chris de Freitas, the editor of the journal Climate Research, dared to publish a peer-reviewed article with the politically incorrect (but factually correct) conclusion that the recent warming is not unusual in the context of climate changes over the past thousand years. The international warming establishment quickly mounted a determined campaign to have Dr. de Freitas removed from his editorial job and fired from his university position. Fortunately, Dr. de Freitas was able to keep his university job.

What the scientists suggest elected officials and candidates do is throw their support behind research seeking to better understand the climate as a whole, without an agenda to prove or disprove man-made global climate change in background.

Here is a full list of the scientists who signed the piece: Claude Allegre, former director of the Institute for the Study of the Earth, University of Paris; J. Scott Armstrong, cofounder of the Journal of Forecasting and the International Journal of Forecasting; Jan Breslow, head of the Laboratory of Biochemical Genetics and Metabolism, Rockefeller University; Roger Cohen, fellow, American Physical Society; Edward David, member, National Academy of Engineering and National Academy of Sciences; William Happer, professor of physics, Princeton; Michael Kelly, professor of technology, University of Cambridge, U.K.; William Kininmonth, former head of climate research at the Australian Bureau of Meteorology; Richard Lindzen, professor of atmospheric sciences, MIT; James McGrath, professor of chemistry, Virginia Technical University; Rodney Nichols, former president and CEO of the New York Academy of Sciences; Burt Rutan, aerospace engineer, designer of Voyager and SpaceShipOne; Harrison H. Schmitt, Apollo 17 astronaut and former U.S. senator; Nir Shaviv, professor of astrophysics, Hebrew University, Jerusalem; Henk Tennekes, former director, Royal Dutch Meteorological Service; Antonio Zichichi, president of the World Federation of Scientists, Geneva.

Germany will Rule Greece----The Silent Anschluss: Germany Formally Requests That Greece Hand Over Its Fiscal Independence..

( This is what happens when others control your money and your future.....Bet they ,the Greeks,didn't know they were signing up for this.)

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/27/2012 15:39 -0500

Update 2: the first local headlines are coming in now, from Spiegel: Griechenland soll Kontrolle über Haushalt abgeben(loosely Greece must give up domestic control), and Kathimerini: Germany proposes Greece relinquish some fiscal powers, sources say

Update: Formal Greek annexation order attached.

It was tried previously (several times) under "slightly different" circumstances, and failed. Yet when it comes to taking over a country without spilling even one drop of blood, and converting its citizens into debt slaves, Germany's Merkel may have just succeeded where so many of her predecessors failed. According to a Reuters exclusive, "Germany is pushing for Greece to relinquish control over its budget policy to European institutions [ZH: read ze Germans] as part of discussions over a second rescue package, a European source told Reuters on Friday." Reuters add: "There are internal discussions within the Euro group and proposals, one of which comes from Germany, on how to constructively treat country aid programs that are continuously off track, whether this can simply be ignored or whether we say that's enough," the source said.' So while the great distraction that is the Charles Dallara "negotiation" with Hedge Funds continues (as its outcome is irrelevant: a Greece default is assured at this point), the real development once again was behind the scenes where Germany was cleanly and clinically taking over Greece. Because while today it is the fiscal apparatus, tomorrow it is the legislative. As for the executive: who cares. At that point Goldman will merely appoint one of its retired partners as Greek president and Greece will become the first 21st century German, pardon, European colony. But at least it will have its precious euro. We can't wait until Greek citizens find out about this quiet coup.

GOVERNMENTTROUBLE IN PARADISE? HAWAII LAWMAKERS CONSIDER ‘RADICAL’ PROPOSAL TO TRACK EVERY WEBSITE YOU VISIT

Posted on January 26, 2012 at 7:01pm by Liz Klimas

Hawaii legislators are considering a new proposal that would require Internet service providers to collect and retain for two years data on every website residents visit.

CNET reports that H.B. 2288 would require any company that provides an Internet connection to users to maintain “Internet destination history information” and “subscriber’s information”. CNET reports the U.S. Internet Service Provider Association as saying this legislation is “the broadest mandate we’ve seen.”

According to CNET, the legislation was introduced by Rep. John Mizuno, a democrat. Similar legislation was brought to the state Senate side by democratic Jill Tokuda to ”address concerns raised by Rep. Kymberly Pine” whose email account was hacked last summer, at which time Pine began advocating for “tougher cyber laws at the Hawaii State Capitol”:

“We must do everything we can to protect the people of Hawaii from these attacks and give prosecutors the tools to ensure justice is served for victims,” Pine said at the time.

Criticism against the legislation includes the broad language of the bill that could require Internet providers such as coffee shops and hotels to track such information as well as privacy issues that come with prolonged data retention.

CNET reports Daniel Leuck, chief executive of Honolulu-based software company Ikayzo, as saying that the legislation is a “radical violation of privacy” that “opens the door to rampant Fourth Amendment violations.” He also said that recording phone conversations would be less of an intrusion.

UPDATE:

According to CNET, Rep. Pine has now backed down from the legislation:

A Hawaii politician who proposed requiring Internet providers to record every Web site their customers visit is now backing away from the controversial legislation.
Rep. Kymberly Pine, an Oahu Republican and the House minority floor leader, told CNET this evening that her intention was to protect “victims of crime,” not compile virtual dossiers on every resident of–or visitor to–the Aloha State who uses the Internet.
“We do not want to know where everyone goes on the Internet,” Pine said. “That’s not our interest. We just want the ability for law enforcement to be able to capture the activities of crime.”

JEW HATING ALIVE AND GROWING U S OF A----PRO-PALESTINIANS, CODEPINK, AND LGBT ACTIVISTS JOIN BOYCOTT ISRAEL CONFERENCE AT UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA

Jew Hating alive and growing U S of A----PRO-PALESTINIANS, CODEPINK, AND LGBT ACTIVISTS JOIN BOYCOTT ISRAEL CONFERENCE AT UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA

All the Way to Obama himself....

Next weekend at the University of Pennsylvania, the National Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions Conference is taking place, where pro-Palestinian activists are teaming up with a wide array of leftist causes including social and “racial justice” advocates, self-proclaimed “queer” activists, dedicated socialists and anti-Zionists aiming to grow the boycott Israel effort, whose ultimate goal is to “bring an end to Israel’s system of oppression, segregation and dispossession.”

While the BDS activists say they don’t oppose the existence of the State of Israel – just the “occupation” – a deeper look at some of those involved reveals a more basic opposition to the existence of the Jewish state altogether.

The best glimpse into the unstated goal of the BDS movement is to know the conference’s keynote speaker. As the conference speakers list states:

Ali Abunimah (Photo from National BDS Conference)

“Ali Abunimah is a Palestinian American journalist and co-founder of Electronic Intifada. A graduate of Princeton University and University of Chicago, Abunimah has contributed to many publications…”

What’s omitted from the short bio is that Abunimah opposes a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Instead, he advocates the “One State Solution.” Translation: a bi-national Jewish-Arab state which by demographics and the “return” of millions of Palestinian refugees would spell the end of the Jewish state and eventually establish the 23rd Arab state in the Middle East. His book (which is not listed as one of his achievements in the BDS conference bio) laying out that vision isOne Country: A Bold Proposal to End the Israeli-Palestinian Impasse.

On his website, Electronic Intifada, Abunimah wrote in 2007 that he met Barack Obama half a dozen times before he became president, “often at Palestinian and Arab-American community events in Chicago…” In an article complaining Obama tilted more toward Israel after being elected, Abunimah writes that previously, “Obama was forthright in his criticism of US policy and his call for an even-handed approach to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.”

Abunimah describes a 2004 conversation with Obama when he was in the middle of the Senate primary campaign:

As he came in from the cold and took off his coat, I went up to greet him. He responded warmly, and volunteered, “Hey, I’m sorry I haven’t said more about Palestine right now, but we are in a tough primary race. I’m hoping when things calm down I can be more up front.” He referred to my activism, including columns I was contributing to the The Chicago Tribune critical of Israeli and US policy, “Keep up the good work!”

Other conference speakers reflect the growing cooperation, as seen in Occupy Wall Street, between thematically unrelated groups in the fight for “social justice” and the Palestinian cause. Examples include:

Nancy Kricorian, “coordinator of CODEPINK NYC, a grassroots peace and social justice movement.”

Bill Fletcher, Jr, the “editor of BlackCommentator.com. He is a labor, racial justice and international activist and was a key player in both the anti-Apartheid and US Civil Rights movements.”

Dr. J. Kehaulani Kauanui is on the advisory board of the USACBI (US Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel). More on Dr. Kauanui from her bio:

She is the author of Hawaiian Blood: Colonialism and the Politics of Sovereignty and Indigeneity … Kauanui is a co-founder of the Native American and Indigenous Studies Association, as well as the producer and host of a public affairs radio program, ‘Indigenous Politics: From Native New England and Beyond’…Her research areas include: settler colonialism; comparative indigeneity; anarchism and the state; and decolonization & nation-building.

Philip Weiss, a “self-described ‘anti-Zionist’ Jewish writer.”

Several gay and lesbian activists are also taking part, despite the fact that Israel is the only country in the Middle East where gays can live freely without fear of discrimination or violence. Even Palestinian gays take refuge in Israel for fear of attacks in the West Bank. Tel Aviv was recently named by American Airlines as the “Best Gay City” for vacationers.

Those speakers include:

Sherry Wolf, a journalist “who focuses on LGBT equality, human rights, and economic justice. In addition to her books, she has contributed to multiple publications, including the Nation, New Politics, and Dissident Voice, and has served as co-editor of the International Socialist Review.”

Dr. Heather Love “is an Associate Professor of English at the University of Pennsylvania and author of ‘Feeling Backward: Loss and the Politics of Queer History.’”

BDS conference organizers are open about cultivating allies among other leftist causes. The conference website states:

Special attention will be devoted to building alliances and uniting in struggle with other constituencies engaged in resistance to bigotry in all its forms, from African Americans to those fighting for LGBT rights.

Stand With US, a pro-Israel group, released a statement saying:

“most of the scheduled speakers are extremists who oppose the existence of the Jewish state and irresponsibly spread propaganda, distort facts, whitewash or justify terrorism and the murder of Jews, and frequently lie about basic facts to demonize Israel and its supporters.”

Stand With Us researched the speakers and discovered:

Another invited speaker, Helena Cobban, has claimed that Israelis are “incapable of empathy and compassion for other people.” (January 2009, Georgetown University) Keynote speaker Ali Abunimah has declared that “Ending the occupation does not solve the problem. The Jews do not view all human beings as equal. The 1948 borders were calculated to harm Christians, Arabs, Palestinians and Muslims.” (Chicago Sabeel Conference, October 7, 2005) Speaker Susan Abulhawa resurrects blood libels, claiming that: “Palestinians are killed as if insects not because of Hamas or Yasser Arafat before them…..Palestinians burn and bleed because they are the non-Jewish natives of that land. There is no other reason.” (Jan. 6, 2009 here)
We trust that if a white supremacist, Islamophobic or homophobic group held a conference on campus, university administrations would condemn the prejudice and bigotry of the messages. The same principle should apply when Israel and Jews are targeted.

Opening night of the conference includes a screening of the film “Roadmap to Apartheid.” Narrated by novelist and “Free Gaza Flotilla” supporter Alice Walker, the film cultivates the comparison of Israel to apartheid South Africa. The apartheid label is one that’s found favor in pro-Palestinian circles – bolstered by President Jimmy Carter’s 2006 book Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid – even though a cursory knowledge about Israel would belie that comparison. The film is also being played at Occupy AIPAC, as discussed on GBTV this week.

“Apartheid” is a powerful word and effective tool for anti-Israel activists to enlist. The association with South Africa elicits an immediate negative response for Americans, while college students hearing their professors use the label may never seek solid information about Israel including the thousands of examples that falsify the comparison. Such examples include an Arab supreme court justice, Arab members of Knesset (including those who meet with Hamas), Arab diplomats serving in Israel’s overseas embassies and consulates, Arab officers in the Israeli army (from the Druse Arab sector), and many more. Israel is the only real democracy in the Middle East, with an independent judiciary, a vibrant press free to criticize the government, free and fair elections, and freedom of religion.

The University of Pennsylvania BDS conference discussions include: “Pinkwashing to Pinkwatching: Queer Organizing and BDS,” “Lessons from the South African Struggle,” “BDS and the Black Community,” “Community Coalition Building.”

Even while accusing Israel of racism without acknowledging the concrete facts about the country, conference organizers seem sensitive themselves to being labeled racist:

While it is clearly stated on our website, we nonetheless reiterate that PennBDS categorically and unequivocally condemns any form of racism, including anti-Semitism. We are fundamentally an anti-racist and anti-discrimination organization that seeks to promote non-violent forms of protest against long-standing official Israeli policies that we believe deny civil, political and human rights to Palestinians based on their ethnicity. We make a clear distinction between Israeli policy and the Jewish people. Jews are well represented in the BDS movement worldwide and groups like Jewish Voice for Peace and Philadelphia Jews for a Just Peace, both pro-BDS organizations, will be fielding speakers at our conference.

The Jewish Federation reports the conference is being organized independently and is not being sponsored by the University of Pennsylvania.
