Current and future mass surveillance threats
This document summarizes current and future threats related to mass surveillance, issues with mass surveillance, and strategies for fighting back against mass surveillance. It outlines western threats related to the internet, metadata retention, and mobile device tracking. It also discusses principles of necessity and proportionality, and why mass surveillance is ineffective given false positives and limited successes. The document provides a timeline of objections to Kosovo's surveillance laws and proposed technical solutions like encrypting communications and using tools like Tor.
Computer ethics
Computer ethics is a set of moral principles that govern the use of computers and address issues like intellectual property, privacy, and the impact of computers on society. Some key issues in computer ethics are copyright protection, privacy of information, and how advances in technology like artificial intelligence may influence human communication and interaction. The 10 commandments of computer ethics outline standards like not using computers to harm others, respecting privacy and intellectual property, and considering the social impacts of computer programs and systems.

Defending the Free Internet - Our Responsibility to Defeat Mass Surveillance
This talk will begin with one of the core themes of the early development of agile software - that those involved in software development should take a more collaborative role, not just building software but helping to determine how software can help its users. We believe that this engagement requires greater knowledge of a user’s goals and also responsibility for the user’s welfare and our impact on the world. While the Internet has brought great benefits in communication, it’s also led to an unprecedented opportunity for mass surveillance, both by states and private corporations.
We’ll discuss how defeating such surveillance requires greater security in our communication, reversing recent centralization, and attention to user experience.
Since the beginning of this year, ThoughtWorks has worked on applying these principles to email.
The argument of “I have nothing to hide” is flawed and we'll explain why it is our responsibility to take up this task.
Case of willful whistleblower
Jim discovers a structural flaw in the company that could endanger customers but his boss Ken tries to cover it up to avoid costs. When Jim blows the whistle, Ken transfers him instead of addressing the issue. The document discusses the ethical issues around whistleblowing and having policies to protect whistleblowers from retaliation so that wrongdoing can be reported without fear.

Surveillance Society
This document discusses the concept of a surveillance society and provides details on various types of surveillance. It describes how surveillance is used by governments and law enforcement to maintain social control and prevent criminal activity, but that civil rights groups are concerned this could limit political and personal freedoms. Different forms of surveillance are outlined, including computer monitoring, telephone tapping, cameras, social media analysis, biometrics, drones, and corporate practices. Both benefits and criticisms of widespread surveillance are presented.
Surveillance
Surveillance involves the systematic collection, analysis, and use of health data for decision-making. It serves as an early warning system and monitors the impact of interventions. There are different types of surveillance including community-based, hospital-based, and active/passive surveillance. Community-based surveillance engages community members to detect and report health events. Hospital-based surveillance relies on regular reporting from hospitals. Active surveillance actively seeks out cases, while passive surveillance waits for cases to be reported. The appropriate surveillance method depends on the context and challenges.
Surveillance
This document discusses different types of surveillance including electronic, computer, audio, visual, and biometric surveillance. It provides examples of various surveillance methods such as electronic article surveillance, social network analysis, wiretapping, red light cameras, and gait analysis. The document also discusses debates around surveillance powers and technologies used by law enforcement.
Mass Internet Surveillance: The Snowden Case
Edward Snowden was born in 1983 in the United States. In 2013, as an NSA contractor, he leaked classified documents revealing mass surveillance programs to the public. This included how intelligence agencies like the NSA and companies like telecom and social media were spying on citizens by accessing phone and internet data. Snowden then fled to Hong Kong and later Russia to escape prosecution, where he remains today while still speaking out against global surveillance.
Secret of Intel Management Engine by Igor Skochinsky
Intel Management Engine ("ME") is a dedicated microcontroller embedded in all recent Intel motherboard chipsets. It works independently from the main CPU, can be active even when the rest of the system is powered off, and has a dedicated connection to the network interface for out-of-band networking which bypasses the main CPU and the installed OS. It not only performs the management tasks for which it was originally designed, but also implements features such as Intel Identity Protection Technology (IPT), Protected Audio-Video Path, Intel Anti-Theft, Intel TPM, NFC communication and more. There is not much info available about how exactly it works, and this talk aims to fill the gap and describe the low-level details.
Igor Skochinsky
Igor Skochinsky is currently one of the main developers of the world-famous Interactive Disassembler and Hex-Rays Decompiler. Even before joining Hex-Rays in 2008 he had been interested in reverse engineering for a long time and had brief periods of Internet fame after releasing a dumper for DRM-ed iTunes files (QTFairUse6) and hacking the original Amazon Kindle. He spoke previously at Recon, Breakpoint and Hack.LU.
Surveillance

"Mass Surveillance" through Distant Reading
Distant reading refers to the uses of computers to “read” texts by counting words, identifying themes and subthemes (through topic modeling), extracting sentiment, applying psychological analysis to the author(s), and otherwise finding latent or hidden insights. This work is based on research on “mass surveillance” based on five text sets: academic, mainstream journalism, microblogging, Wikipedia articles, and leaked government data. The purpose was to capture some insights about the collective social discussions occurring around this issue in an indirect way. This presentation uses a variety of data visualizations (article network graphs, word trees, dendrograms, treemaps, cluster diagrams, line graphs, bar charts, pie charts, and others) to show how machines read and the types of summary data they enable (at computational speeds, at machine scale, and in a reproducible way). Also, some computational linguistic analysis tools enable the creation of custom dictionaries for unique types of applied research. The tools used in this presentation include NVivo 11 Plus and LIWC2015.
Internet Privacy
This document discusses privacy concerns related to revealing personal information online. It outlines many ways personal data can be disclosed, such as through internet service providers, email, browsers, search engines, social media and marketing. The document also presents some technical and legal solutions to better protect online privacy, such as cookie controls, encryption, and the Platform for Privacy Preferences framework. However, it notes the difficulty in regulating privacy given priorities around free speech and data sharing. Overall, the document provides context around online privacy issues and risks of personal data being revealed without consent through various internet activities.
Presentation
Duror is the gamekeeper whose mental health deteriorates throughout the book due to his bedridden wife Peggy's disability and lack of contact from her. He grows to hate Calum, a young man with deformities, because Duror is disgusted by imperfections and feels Calum reminds him of his wife's condition. Duror's hatred is described as a tree growing inside him that he can no longer control. By the end of the novel, Duror has declined so much that others no longer recognize him. In a act of evil, Duror shoots the harmless Calum, then realizes the killing did not satisfy him so he commits suicide.
Presentation
Duror is the gamekeeper in the novel who slowly loses his mental stability over time. He harbors an intense hatred for Calum, one of the cone gatherers, due to Calum's deformities. Duror commits increasingly sinister acts, like threatening Calum with his gun and lying about him, culminating in Duror ultimately murdering Calum due to his uncontrollable hatred. Duror symbolizes evil in the novel as his mental state deteriorates and he is consumed by the darkness growing inside him.
Presentation
The document analyzes how the narrative structure and short 6-day timescale of the novel "The Cone Gatherers" help intensify the plot. It discusses the typical narrative elements of introduction, inciting incident, rising action, crisis, climax, falling action, and resolution and shows how the novel follows this structure over its compressed 6-day period, building tension and drama. Key events that drive the plot forward include Duror making false accusations about Calum, Calum being forced into a deer drive, a confrontation at the beach hut, and the climax of Roderick getting stuck in a tree.
Presentation
The document discusses the symbolism of trees in representing the mental deterioration of the character Duror in the novel. It describes how early on a great elm tree outside his home brings him comfort, representing his sanity. However, as he develops hatred for the cone gatherers, he feels a "Tree of Hatred" growing inside him. Throughout the novel this tree comes to represent his declining mental state. By the end, after an encounter with a completely rotten tree, Duror descends into total madness, mirroring how the tree symbolized his entirely corrupted mental state.
Presentation
The document discusses the idea that the innocent are often sacrificed, using examples from a novel. It explores two characters, Roderick and Calum, who are portrayed as innocent in different ways. Roderick is naive about social class differences, while Calum has a childlike mind and means no harm. Calum suffers the most sacrifices throughout the story. The document also argues that war is the perfect symbol of innocent people being sacrificed, as armies are made up of ordinary citizens. It concludes by questioning whether the "greater good" can truly justify destroying innocent lives.
Presentation
Duror is the bitter gamekeeper on Lady Runcie-Campbell's estate who abuses his power over the cone gatherers. He takes pleasure in forcing Calum and Neil to participate in activities they dislike, such as the deer drive, where he brutally kills a deer knowing it will deeply upset Calum. Duror hates his bedridden wife Peggy and is repulsed by her after she became ill, leaving him isolated and lacking self-esteem. He also hates Calum due to his deformities, as they remind him of his wife's condition. By the end of the novel, Duror has spiraled into madness and frames Calum for a crime before killing him, representing the triumph of
Presentation
Duror's madness goes undetected until it is too late due to a combination of factors. He feels emasculated and too proud to ask for help. Lady Runcie Campbell is in denial about his condition because accepting it would be difficult. Society at the time praised stoic endurance of hardship rather than openly seeking help. With no one close to him caring enough to intervene, his condition deteriorates privately until it is too late to help him.
Presentation
Calum is a hunchbacked character with one shoulder higher than the other and no neck, yet he has a beautiful face. Despite his physical deformities, Calum has a kind, caring and innocent personality. He is close with his brother Neil, who has protected him for much of his life. Calum struggles to understand why innocent things suffer in the world. He represents innocence and how those who are innocent often endure unfair suffering.
Presentation
This document provides a character study of Duror from a novel. It analyzes his personality, background, appearance, relationships, motivations, behavior, and symbolic significance. Duror is described as respectful of superiors but ignores his wife, despises those with disabilities, and lies about others. His mental state deteriorates throughout the story as he becomes increasingly erratic and psychotic in his obsession to destroy disability. Duror represents corruption and evil in the story as his mental illness and hatred consume him.
Presentation
The document discusses the significance of religion in the novel "The Cone Gatherers" through biblical references and symbolism. It summarizes that there is a constant struggle between good (Calum) and evil (Duror) portrayed through characters, and several incidents in the novel symbolize biblical events like the loss of paradise and Christ's crucifixion. The woods are compared to the Garden of Eden, and Duror's actions are seen as punishments from God. Religion also influences Lady Runcie-Campbell's treatment of others and the afterlife is a topic of discussion between Calum and Neil.
Presentation
The deer drive scene in the novel reveals Duror's mental illness through his hallucinations and savage slaughter of a deer. It also shows different sides of Roderick and Calum - Roderick argues against his mother for what is morally right, while Calum acts bravely to try to save a wounded deer despite the risk. The setting is described as sinister and foreshadows the violence. The drive explores the theme of good versus evil through Calum's kindness towards animals versus Duror's brutal killing of the deer, revealing his potential for evil. Characters like Mr. Tulloch and Roderick surprise in their fairness and empathy towards Calum.
Presentation
Duror slaughters a deer during a hunt, but believes he has killed his wife Peggy, showing his deteriorating psychological state. He expresses intense hatred toward Calum, who represents the life Duror once had that is now lost. Calum sympathizes with the deer, feeling hunted himself. The chapter reveals Duror's twisted mindset and foreshadows his desire to destroy Calum. It is a turning point where innocence is lost, Duror's intentions are questioned, and social divides between characters are emphasized.

Privacy and surveillance
- 1. Privacy and Surveillance What?In the next two lessons, you will read news articles on Edward Snowden, produce an informative powerpoint or word document on Snowden and his actions and then consider questions regarding surveillance and privacy. Why? (1) Reading news articles improves your reading skills and close reading skills; and (2) this task will also function as research for our study of George Orwell’s ‘1984’.
- 4. Edward Snowden Many people feel that Edward Snowden, the 29 year old responsible for leaking top secret details regarding national surveillance, has opened up the debate around privacy and forced people to consider and question the boundaries of government surveillance. You are going to spend today’s lesson learning about and researching Snowden and the repercussions of this leak.
- 5. You will demonstrate this understanding by creating a word document/Powerpoint presentation which explains: 1) Who Edward Snowden is; 2) What he has done; 3) Why it has caused international uproar; 4) The repercussions of his actions; 5) What you think will happen next with this case. This should be finished by the end of today’s lesson and then emailed to shamilton1@edubuzz.org

- 8. Once you’ve created your Powerpoint/Word document and emailed it to Miss Hamilton, you are ready to consider privacy and surveillance more generally…
- 9. Answer these questions on paper and hand it in to Miss Hamilton at the end of the lesson. Many people feel that Edward Snowden, the 29 year old responsible for leaking top secret details regarding national surveillance, has opened up the debate around privacy and forced people to consider and question the boundaries of government surveillance. 1. To what extent do you think this is the case? 2. How do you feel about the revelations regarding the extent of the US Government’s surveillance? 3. Do you think Snowden was wrong to leak details of national security? Explain your answer fully. 4. Do you have a problem with your Government accessing your emails, texts, tweets, Facebook status updates, photos etc? Explain your answer. 5. Lots of people are saying that if you have nothing to hide then you should have no problem with surveillance. To what extent do you agree with this? Explain your answer fully.
