Inventor of World Wide Web warns of threat to internet
Source: Yahoo
London (AFP) - The British inventor of the World Wide Web warned on Saturday that the freedom of the internet is under threat by governments and corporations interested in controlling the web.
Tim Berners-Lee, a computer scientist who invented the web 25 years ago, called for a bill of rights that would guarantee the independence of the internet and ensure users' privacy.
"If a company can control your access to the internet, if they can control which websites they go to, then they have tremendous control over your life," Berners-Lee said at the London "Web We Want" festival on the future of the internet.
"If a Government can block you going to, for example, the opposition's political pages, then they can give you a blinkered view of reality to keep themselves in power."

Moreno, a mother of two, had recently kicked Henry out of the mobile home they shared together with Henry's three children and filed for a protective order, claiming that she feared for her children's safety. Leonard Henry had a prior history of domestic violence allegations, as he faced misdemeanor domestic assault and battery charges back in 2013. A neighbor, Carolyn Marsee, indicated that Brandy Moreno had taught her daughter to shoot a week earlier in an effort to prepare her to defend herself.

COMMENT: Part of Operation "Lead a somewhat normal life," this is my second drum cover since finishing Tragedy and Hope 101.
Granted, this won't appeal to many people (a 9-minute instrumental) but I think even "normal folk" might enjoy it a little if they fast forward through the first two minutes and twenty seconds; it gets a little more lively after that.

NSA shared Americans' private communications with Israel
Source: Yahoo
--The memorandum indicates the data is routinely sent in raw form, without editing out names or other personally identifiable information, Bamford said.
He noted allegations in Israel by veterans of Unit 8200, who in a letter to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last week accused the agency of using information it collects to politically persecute innocent Palestinians.
The data gathered by the unit included Palestinians' sexual orientations, infidelities, money problems, family medical conditions and other private matters that could be used to coerce them into becoming collaborators, they said.

Internet Trolls Are Narcissists, Psychopaths, and Sadists

--Look at how low the scores are for everyone except the internet trolls! Their scores for all four terrible personality traits soar on the chart.
--Trolls truly enjoy making you feel bad. To quote the authors once more (because this is a truly quotable article):
"Both trolls and sadists feel sadistic glee at the distress of others. Sadists just want to have fun ... and the Internet is their playground!"
So next time you encounter a troll online, remember a few things. (1) These trolls are some truly messed up people and (2) it is your suffering that brings them pleasure, so the best thing you can do is ignore them.

--"Law enforcement attracts a certain personality type that is prone to narcissism and aggression," Brown asserts, speaking from decades of experience. "People like that get weeded out from our program very early. We protect innocent people from predators, and we can't carry out that mission by hiring people who are predatory themselves. Our people receive extensive training in firearms and unarmed combat techniques, but they're also taught to look at all humans as members of the same family. The question we want them to ask themselves is – in what circumstances would you shoot, or otherwise harm a member of your family? They're trained to apply that standard in all situations involving a potential use of force. People who can't think that way aren't going to fit in with our program."
Brown emphatically agrees that the phenomenon called "police militarization" is a huge and growing menace, but insists that the core problem is "not the military hardware, or the other trappings of militarization, but the system itself. Police agencies attract the wrong kind of people and then tell them, `You're like God' – they get to impose their will on others and use lethal force at their discretion. And when someone who is really golden shows up – that is, an ethical, conscientious person who wants to protect the public – they get redirected into a role that will minimize their influence for good by people who are worried about their own job security."
"Ideally, the best approach would be to abolish the current system and start over," Brown concludes. "But the very least we should demand would be total equity and complete accountability – which would mean, as a starting point, doing away with this idea of `qualified immunity.' Police are citizens, and they should be governed by the same laws that apply to all citizens. No exceptions, no special protections."
