CISA

CISA stands for Cyber Information Sharing Act (CISA) which the bill intended to help companies and the governments thwart hackers and other cyber-intrusions. To look deep down about this bill, we have too looked on the statements of Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and Vice Chairman Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga) based on the report of Forbes Online Website including:

• Requires the director of national intelligence to increase the sharing of classified and unclassified cyber threat information to the private sector, consistent with the protection of sources and methods.
• Authorizes individuals and companies to monitor their own computer networks and those of their consenting customers for cyber threats and to implement countermeasures to block those threats.
• Authorizes the voluntary sharing of cyber threat information by individuals and companies with each other and with the government. Such sharing is for cyber security purposes only and companies must take appropriate measures to protect against the sharing of personally identifying information.
• Puts in place liability protections for individuals and companies that appropriately monitor their networks or share cyber information.
• Requires federal government procedures for the receipt, sharing and use of cyber information. This includes the establishment of a “portal” managed by the Department of Homeland Security through which electronic cyber information will enter the government and be shared with other appropriate federal entities.
• Limits the government’s ability to use information it receives to cyber-related purposes to ensure it does not engage in inappropriate investigations or regulation. 
• Requires reports on the implementation of these authorities by the heads of federal departments, the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board and relevant inspectors general.

But there is opposition of this bill from the privacy advocates for the reason of improving surveillance ability of NSA which has a controversy due to illegal surveillance to the people thanks to Edward Snowden's Revelation .

So what oppositions can do to stop this bill? First, they need to know deep down about this bill. Second, if they confirm that this bill is against to the privacy of the people then they need to shout out peacefully to those lawmakers that this bill is against to privacy of the people. Third, if those lawmakers cannot hear them and pursuing this bill until it reaches on White House still shout out their voices added by encourage more people to join their cause. Fourth, if White House passes this bill ignoring those who will oppose of it so the last resort is to stop it in Higher Court. Then, if court decides to implement this bill so they have to advice the people of using evasion tools like deep web, anonymity, dark net and other tools if they want to remain private in internet. Finally, if those tools have been devastated and hack by those government to intrude the privacy of their citizens then the people should stop using technological tools to remain private.

For those supporters of this bill, if this bill proven that it will violate the privacy of the people still supporting this bill for excuse of preventing a cyber attack  then they are wrong because it will not stop a cyber attack but only to look the private lives of the people illegally and unjust act. To stop a cyber attack then the defense of internet’s infrastructure should be more upgrade, upgrade and upgrade which it can stop and prevent a cyber attack from those hackers and not approving this bill which intended to surveillance people illegally of their private lives if proven. Plus those lawmakers who approve this bill without looking the danger side of it then the people can take a payback by not voting them on 2016 elections.

Invasion of the Privacy

Recently, a news broke out when hacker released a nude photo worldwide from Hollywood celebrities I- phone cloud including Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Upton and other 100 celebrities into the internet which he/she hacks their I-phone clouds. One of those hack victim was speak up and that is Jennifer Lawrence by her attorney representative saying this is a violation of privacy’s client. Well they did little know that our privacy for technology was already being violated. It’s because of NSA Mass Surveillance and Hacking thanks to Edward Snowden's revelation which talked about grossly invaded us by looking our own technological data and hack those data which we don’t have knowledge about it plus a news saying that the tool which use for hacking those celebrities are also tools uses for law enforcement which might be connected to the NSA. So why we are crying out loud that this is a gross violation of privacy for those victimized celebrities when we should express that already when NSA secret invasion of privacy exposed? It that because they are important than our own privacy? I will leave that answer for those questions to you.

Right now, how can we stop invading our own privacy? Well let’s focus on the biggest hacker which is the US government like NSA or any other democratic country which surveillance their citizens that limit their surveillance to its citizen nor us for only court order or stop their act of surveillance its people nor us in higher court and ask them to create a bill into a law which can protect our privacy to them like a Philippine bill called MCPIF bill which protecting Filipino privacy to their Government Eyes. If US government, higher court or any democratic country of the world surveillance their technological citizen users does not listen to them nor to us then we should protect privacy of our own data of technological tools by using any extra measures tightening access it using anonymity,deep web, encryption and future tools than can tightening access our data and technology against ordinary hackers and government hackers. But if you are hopeless or paranoid thinking that even you use those tightening tools can still access your technological tools and data then cannot act on it but crying out loud saying invasion of the privacy then quit using technological tools.

For the government excusing surveillance as preventing terrorism or crimes, well it will occur those crimes or terrorism even surveillance its citizen or us because the lack of security and pro activeness preventing those coming future crimes or terror.

PS. I just want to comment to those two commentators from Playboy and Huffington Post regarding leaked nude photos of Jennifer Lawrence. To Playboy, your writer said in an article saying “Because she’s a woman, and women’s bodies are public commodities to be commented upon and used at will?” answered “Oh hell no.” is just a hypocrisy comment because playboy girl nude models are just doing their nude job for profit for Playboy that making them a form of commodity of it plus I got a blog news saying allegedly that Playboy Mexico posted JLAW’s nude photo. To Huffington Post regarding an article about JLaws leaked nude photo, well Stephen Colbert’s video countered it.

By the way, Jennifer Lawrence or future coming celebrities alike who have a viral nude photos or sextape are their careers will be just fine like Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian if their careers live in liberated country but not to the conservative country.

And if you are ordinary adult people not a celebrity but just want not to be a victim of non-consensual porn then my advice from a blog post which I create it with a little change from the last message that don’t take a nude photo nor sextape or if you want to do that crazy non-consensual porn but you want it to be private that you can only access that then tighten it to prevent anyone access that except you can only access it.

Re-access sa mga Block/Censored Social Media/Websites

Internet Censorship Circumvention ay mga technological tool na ginagamit para ma-bypass at re-access ulit ang mga censored websites/social media websites na block ng mga ibat ibang bansa na gamit ang filter devices.Ito ay ginagamit ng mga internet users na naniniwala sa kalayaan sa pamamahayag(freedom of speech), demokrasya at sa karapatang pantao sa mga bansang mahilig magpa-block ng mga websites na may kalayaan sa pamamahayag at demokrasya na higit sa lahat ay walang pakialam sa mga karapatang pantao ng mga internet users tulad sa China at iba pa(para malaman kung ano ang mga iba't ibang bansa ang kalaban ng internet freedom na kasamahan ng China, well read this link:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_censorship_by_country and also this link:http://12mars.rsf.org/2014-en/#slide2). Pwede rin itong gamitin panakip din sa walang pakundangan o mahilig na magsurveillance ng internet users without court order sa mga bansang nabanggit na walang pakialam sa karapatan nila with the help of anonymous network, I2P, TAILS(The Amnesic Incognito Live System), PGP(Pretty Good Privacy), Liberte Linux, or Forward Secrecy na makakapagtago sa kanilang identities.

Well ano nga ba ang ibat ibang uri ng internet censorship circumvention tools?Well ang sagot ay ito:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_censorship_circumvention at kasama dito ang mga dati kong nabanggit na VPN (http://www.bestvpnusa.com/), TOR(https://www.torproject.org/ ), at PROXY SERVERS(hidemyass.com).Pero pag pumalpak ka sa paggamit nito ay pwede mo itong ikapahamak na mahuli ka sa mga bansang walang demokrasya for internet. Para maiwasan ang kapalpakan na iyon ay dapat basahin mo ang link na ito:http://www.nartv.org/mirror/circ_guide.pdf at ito pa:http://en.cship.org/wiki/Risks plus ang advice ko na:

1. Be anonymous sa mga di-kilala,kakilala,kamag- anak at kaibigan na ikaw ay gumagamit ng internet circumvention tools hanggang sa iyong kamatayan para di mabunyag at di pumalpak dahil sa paggamit ng internet circumvention tools.
2. Mag suot ng any costumes para di makilala ang iyong katauhan habang gumagamit ng internet circumvention tools.
3. Huwag kayong magbigay ng impormasyon mo bilang user ng internet circumvention tools.
4. Huwag kayong makipag deal or makipag usap personally bilang user ng internet circumvention tools sa mga tao para di malaman na ikaw ay gumagamit ng internet circumvention tools!
5. Huwag mong gamitin ang personal accounts mo habang gumagamit  ka ng internet censorship circumvention sa internet para hindi ka agad agad pumalpak at siguraduhin na hindi ka matrace ng iba kung gagawin mo iyan paggamit  ng internet censorship circumvention sa internet.
6. Kung gusto niyo naman na hindi gamitin ang personal computer mo kundi sa ibang computer para walang ebidensya ng kapalpakan ay pumunta kayo sa mga public internet places na wala pang software for blocking those internet circumvention tools  katulad ng internet cafe, school computer laboratory ,public internet offices,wi-fi public internet places (except kung alam mo kung anong klaseng filtering devices ang ginagamit nila ay pwede mo rin i-bypass na nababagay sa nalaman mong filtering device tulad ng opendns blocking na ang pang bypass ay ang tinatawag na dns jumper)at iba pa na may shelve between to the computer na walang cctv at walang nagreregister ng name bago gumamit ng internet at doon ay pwedeng gumamit ng internet censorship circumvention tool.

Lahat ng iyan na nabanggit ay magiging gabay sa paggamit ng internet censorship circumvention tools na hindi pumalpak sa paggamit nito.Ang tanong ng ilan na nakakabasa eh bakit ko ginawa ang istoryang ito?Dahil sa aking palagay ay baka susunod na tayo sa mga bansang walang freedom of using internet lalo nat parang sumusunod ang ating bansa sa mga bansang walang kalayaan sa paggamit ng internet kayat kung mangyari man iyon ay gamitin natin ang tool na ito ng may pagsasanay,pag-iingat at tamang paggamit nito at kung gusto niyo na i-testing ay pwede naman bastat alamin ninyo ang mga kapalpakan nito para di pumalpak sa paggamit nito at gamitin sa hinaharap kung mangyari ang sobrang paghihigpit ng gobyerno natin laban sa ating kalayaan sa paggamit ng internet .

Kung gusto naman ng gobyerno natin na kalabanin ang mga cybercrimes without impinging our rights then support mcpif bill na kakalaban sa cybercrimes pero di kakalabanin ang ating kalayaan sa paggamit nitong internet idagdag na pag naipasa na iyon ay siguradong di mapipilitan ang tao na gumamit ng internet censorship circumvention tools dahil may assurance sila na main targets is cybercriminals not the whole internet users who believes in democracy for internet.

Can USA outlaw Revenge Porn?

Recently, many victims in USA claim that they have been victim of Revenge Porn which is sexually explicit media that is publicly shared online without the consent of the pictured individual. Because of that, two states in USA already outlaw revenge porn reacting to those victims of it. So can other state follow it to outlaw revenge porn or Can USA outlaw revenge porn? Well my answer is leave it to them and let see if they can outlaw revenge porn but they need to think of it the effects of outlawing revenge porn. And I think the following effects of outlawing revenge porn are the following:

1. There will be no more viral sex tape/sex scandal in internet from celebrities, famous person, public figures and ordinary civilians without their permission.
2. There will be more criticizes from other civil liberty group because they think that is protected of your first amendment which is revenge porn is a porn protected in your first amendment that they think so they might question it in your higher court if it is violation of your first amendment to outlaw revenge porn.
3. It is going to be a loss profit in those pornographic industry and there will be a black anonymous market of revenge porn images and videos in internet.

But the good news is: The USA will have to coordinate other country who is their ally and same law of outlawing revenge porn like Israel, France, Philippines which has RA 9995 to outlaw revenge porn and other countries to combat revenge porn without impinging their citizens civil liberties.

To all of this outlawing thingy to revenge porn, well my advice is from my past article that you do not allow any agreement or deal to make sex explicit photos and videos with your boyfriend or acquaintance with the various technologies because when already separated that it might use those created explicit contents to blackmail, extort, in exchange for return to your separated partner, or fixing those technician that he/she might exposed to internet by accidentally/intentionally retrieved your explicit photos/videos and hacked by those burglar that he/she accidentally caught your explicit things that he/she already can exposed in internet. And if you felt that you are already secretly surveillance while nude or Photoshop of your face to a nude body then immediately report to authorities and file a suit before reaches on internet in your respective rule over your area.

Well that’s it Folks and remember, if you don’t want to be a victim of revenge porn then DON’T TAKE SEX EXPLICIT PHOTOS AND VIDEOS FROM YOURSELF TO ANYONE, thank you.

P.s Those mentions above are just applicable for adults and not for minor/children so this message is for them that they have been protected on child porn laws based on their country which their living in against perpetrators of revenge porn for minors either adults or minors unless if a country does have juvenile justice act law  or RA 10630 of the Philippines which minors either victim or suspect are excluded in the revenge porn crime because of that law which protecting and excluding them for their crimes. For the parents or adult guardians: please advice your minor son or daughter by saying to them that don’t take a sex tape or nude photo for being not a part of another future victim of revenge porn.

Para sa mga otoridad natin dyan na idadahilan na walang batas ang pilipinas laban sa revenge porn kundi cybercrime law ay nagkakamali kayo dahil may RA 9995 na pwedeng gamitin laban sa revenge porn ng  mga perpetrator nito at hindi na kailangan ng cybercrime law na alam nang labag ito sa aming civil liberties galing sa link na ito:http://propinoy.net/2013/05/28/why-the-dojs-cybercrime-initiative-is-a-failed-project/ at ito pa:http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-851807 ,yun lang po at maraming salamat po!
