Speakers: Estelle Massé, Kirsten Fiedler, Maryant Fernández:
We live in an era of ubiquitous surveillance. Surveillance is however seldom a goal in itself, but part of a larger scheme of socio-political domination. This talk will examine a few pieces of the puzzle leading to societal control: control of your activities via the internet, of your thoughts via the media and of your movement via border surveillance.
Two years after the first Snowden revelations, awareness around governmental and corporate surveillance has entered the mainstream media. Yet, broad resistance has been slow to develop - partly because of the intangible nature of surveillance, and because it is just one piece of a much larger game of control. This talk aims at explaining how society is being controlled through the internet, the media and the surveillance of movements.
The Internet is an unprecedented human rights enabler. But governments and companies have developed a vision to connect people and things whose ultimate goal is to have everyone under control. To what extent do we need the Internet of Things? What are the consequences of using self-measurement apps? Do you think twice before posting something online?
In the past years, technological developments have propelled the possibilities for media control to a whole new level. While political spins and newspeak remain the preferred methods to control the public discourse, the growth of new media platforms has reached a point where companies influence what we buy, how we vote and how we feel. On multiple occasions, Facebook's users have already been subject to experiments in civic-engineering. What is media control and how does it affect us?
Historically, governments had an interest in controlling movement not only within their cities but also at their borders. In the past decade, ubiquitous surveillance has opened up a new range of possibilities for the constant monitoring of our movements by governments. Surveillance of air travellers and refugees RFID devices, thermic cameras, drones are just few examples. What are the consequences of this constant tracking on our rights?
The outcome of the three pieces of the puzzle show that we don't have a right to be different, we censor ourselves, we fear consequences of enjoying our freedoms, our life stops being ours. We will present solutions and creative alternatives to the audience.
First, lets keep more people from becoming radicalized.dllavoy
We tried a digital marketing approach to combating disinformation and radicalization. Make credible info simpler, get it in front of people who wouldn't normally see it.

WHAT’S TRENDING AND HOW? PERSPECTIVES ON SOCIAL AND SPIRITUAL IMPLICATIONS OF...IAEME Publication
From ancient cave paintings ,Asoka’s Pillar Inscriptions to Cicero’s web of ancient Rome and
now to Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook the basic theme of mass communication has remained pretty
much the same , what’s changed however is the speed, the way and hence the impact. This brings
us to a paradox, its simpler because somewhere it’s all complex. So it’s increasingly becoming
difficult to distinguish between news from propaganda, subtle manipulation from brainwashing,
and information from advertising, ideologies from hate crimes.
So, who decides what’s trending and how that impacts life and perspectives about human life?
What’s real and what’s not??
And Why That Matters?!!

Insights: Interviews on the Future of Social Media - Edited by Anil Dash & Gi...Brian Solis
This book was created as an exclusive reward for backers
of ThinkUp in the fall of 2013. The interviews
documented here took place over the span of several
months, but have been edited as lightly as possible to
best capture the energy and inspiration of the
interviewees.
The book’s first goal is to help members get more value out of using ThinkUp. More deeply, we hope these interviews reveal the thought involved in creating technology that is meaningful, built on ideas thatemerge over years or even decades of work.

Wireless communication involves the transmission of information over a distance without the help of wires, cables or any other forms of electrical conductors.
Wireless communication is a broad term that incorporates all procedures and forms of connecting and communicating between two or more devices using a wireless signal through wireless communication technologies and devices.
Features of Wireless Communication
The evolution of wireless technology has brought many advancements with its effective features.
The transmitted distance can be anywhere between a few meters (for example, a television's remote control) and thousands of kilometers (for example, radio communication).
Wireless communication can be used for cellular telephony, wireless access to the internet, wireless home networking, and so on.

# Internet Security: Safeguarding Your Digital World
In the contemporary digital age, the internet is a cornerstone of our daily lives. It connects us to vast amounts of information, provides platforms for communication, enables commerce, and offers endless entertainment. However, with these conveniences come significant security challenges. Internet security is essential to protect our digital identities, sensitive data, and overall online experience. This comprehensive guide explores the multifaceted world of internet security, providing insights into its importance, common threats, and effective strategies to safeguard your digital world.
## Understanding Internet Security
Internet security encompasses the measures and protocols used to protect information, devices, and networks from unauthorized access, attacks, and damage. It involves a wide range of practices designed to safeguard data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Effective internet security is crucial for individuals, businesses, and governments alike, as cyber threats continue to evolve in complexity and scale.
### Key Components of Internet Security
1. **Confidentiality**: Ensuring that information is accessible only to those authorized to access it.
2. **Integrity**: Protecting information from being altered or tampered with by unauthorized parties.
3. **Availability**: Ensuring that authorized users have reliable access to information and resources when needed.
## Common Internet Security Threats
Cyber threats are numerous and constantly evolving. Understanding these threats is the first step in protecting against them. Some of the most common internet security threats include:
### Malware
Malware, or malicious software, is designed to harm, exploit, or otherwise compromise a device, network, or service. Common types of malware include:
- **Viruses**: Programs that attach themselves to legitimate software and replicate, spreading to other programs and files.
- **Worms**: Standalone malware that replicates itself to spread to other computers.
- **Trojan Horses**: Malicious software disguised as legitimate software.
- **Ransomware**: Malware that encrypts a user's files and demands a ransom for the decryption key.
- **Spyware**: Software that secretly monitors and collects user information.
### Phishing
Phishing is a social engineering attack that aims to steal sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details. Attackers often masquerade as trusted entities in email or other communication channels, tricking victims into providing their information.
### Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attacks
MitM attacks occur when an attacker intercepts and potentially alters communication between two parties without their knowledge. This can lead to the unauthorized acquisition of sensitive information.
### Denial-of-Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) Attacks

2. Hive Mind - Dictionary.com
noun
A entity consisting of a large number of organisms who share their
knowledge or opinions with one another, regarded as producing either
uncritical conformity or collective intelligence.
3. Hive Mind - Science Fiction
noun
A unified consciousness or intelligence formed by a number of alien
individuals, the resulting consciousness typically exerting control over
its constituent members.
4. The idea of the internet was formulated by DARPA (military) in 1960s as
a communication tool between platoons during warfare.
The scientists knew they were on
something big, but they would never
predict anything like what’s about to
come…
5. The very first message sent went something like this:
“Do you see the L?”
“Yes, we see the L,” came the response
“Do you see the O?”
“Yes we see the O”
Then as we typed the G, and the system crashed….
6. The internet officially went online in 1989 and the virtual web
literally began to explode with information.
Cars
Clothes
Cute Animals
Watches
Sports
Movies
Food
Dating
Ebooks
Videos
Shopping
Blogs
Careers
Forums
Enthusiasts
7. All this information on the virtual web
accumulated over the years waiting to
burst.
Finally, the megaphone known as Myspace, Facebook, Twitter
came
8. Companies such as Facebook
and Twitter allow information
and current events to spread
like wildfire.
Soon, everyone began talking
about the latest news and trend
10. Learning who knows something or where we can find information,
rather than remembering the information itself – The web is the
greatest resource in human history.
11. A research was conducted by asking people a series of hard questions,
the first idea that came to mind for many was the internet.
When we’re faced with hard questions, we don’t search our minds – We first think of the web
12. As we absorb more information and trends on the internet set by the
few, are we losing our unique personality and conforming to the
collective behavior of the internet?
14. Example 1: The Twitch Community plays where the entire
streaming community played Hearthstone by submitting actions
on the Twitch Chat and a decision is made based on majority
vote, essentially mimicking a collective intelligence.
“It was a battle between the serious and the trolls” - Anonymous
15. Example 2: The Mumbai attacks showcased the use of Twitter as a
real-time, peer to peer information service. Throughout the event,
people twittered the movement of attackers.
This is reflective of the internet consciousness, it
coordinates (and sometimes directs) physical
activity in the world
16. Example 3: As millions of users search for health information, Google
uses the aggregate of these searches to estimate flu activity even in
very localized areas
17. The Hive Mind sounds scary, but is it beneficial for society?
The general answer is yes...
18. The consciousness of the internet makes us more aware of a broader
context of relationship with humanity. Your immediate relationships
with your family, city, state begins to span the globe.
19. Using a the consciousness of the internet, it acts as a social nervous
system that allows us to find solutions to big problems such as
controlling disease or responding to emergencies.
20. More importantly, we are creating a feedback mechanism that exposes
the actions of a powerful few to the many – and the trivial day to day
life of many to the whole of humanity.
21. The negative consequences of an internet conscious makes us shift
away from individual privacy.
In a social nervous system there will be more pressure to
be connected 24/7 to the hive mind that is Facebook,
Twitter, etc.
22. So the big question is:
While reaching out and touching your neighbors is a good thing but it will come at the price
Of reshaping our identities as part of a larger, interconnected whole.
Which path do YOU choose?
