  • Asia Chats- Update on Line, Kakaotalk, and Firechat in China
    Research Brief The Citizen Lab July 2014 Asia Chats: Update on Line, KakaoTalk, and FireChat in China Media coverage: CBC News, TechPresident, and Slate. On July 10 we reported that messaging applications LINE and KakaoTalk were being disrupted in China as a result of DNS tampering and HTTP request filtering. We also found that Flickr and Microsoft OneDrive were blocked in the country. Since that time we have done daily tests of these domains from servers in China. We find that Flickr and OneDrive remain consistently blocked, but LINE and KakaoTalk show inconsistent fluctuation between accessibility and inaccessibility. We also analyze security and privacy issues in the mobile app FireChat and test accessibility of the service in China. ACCESSIBILITY OF KAKAOTALK, LINE, FLICKR, ONEDRIVE IN CHINA In our previous post, we established that injected DNS replies was the primary mechanism by which KakaoTalk and LINE was being blocked in China. We test the domains that we investigated in our previous post twice daily from July 12 – 23, 2014 to measure the consistency of the blocks. We resolved the DNS records of the following domains in China: Domain Tested Service flickr.com Photo sharing service kakao.com KakaoTalk – Cross platform messaging app line.naver.jp LINE – Cross platform messaging app onedrive.live.com Cloud file sharing service 1 July 2014 Our tests return known fake DNS replies that have been previously observed in China, as noted in a presentation from John-Paul Verkamp at the CAIDA Active Internet Measurements Workshop (see slide 6). These possible fake response addresses are summarized below: IP Network 8.7.198.45 LEVEL3 – Level 3 Communications, Inc.,US 78.16.49.15 AS-BTIRE BT Communications Ireland Limited,IE 37.61.54.158 BAKINTER-AS Baktelekom,AZ 93.46.8.89 FASTWEB Fastweb SpA,IT 46.82.174.68 DTAG Deutsche Telekom AG,DE 159.106.121.75 59.24.3.173 KIXS-AS-KR Korea Telecom,KR 203.98.7.65 CLIX-NZ TelstraClear Ltd,NZ 243.185.187.39 127.0.0.1 Localhost We tested the domains to see whether or not they would return these known bad DNS responses.

  • Digital Developments: Extremists’ Use of Modern Communications Tools
    Digital Developments: Extremists’ Use of Modern Communications Tools March 2019 Digital Developments Extremists’ Use of Modern Communication Tools The rapid adoption of state-of-the-art communication tools—with an emphasis on Internet-based applications—has been critical to the organization, expansion, and success of terrorist networks. Terror groups use modern communication technology in myriad ways, from fundraising, radicalization, and recruitment, to issuing threats, inciting violence, and planning attacks. While Osama bin Laden used fax machines and satellite phones in the 1990s, the early 2000s saw a boom in new media applications that enabled terrorists to communicate undetected across borders more swiftly and effectively. The Internet essentially became another extremist battlefield. Encrypted software became a popular modus operandi for jihadists, and many groups established media departments and online recruitment magazines such as al-Qaeda’s Inspire. ISIS’s communications tactics, such as its high production value beheading videos and its “Mujatweets,” have grabbed international headlines. The terror group has hacked thousands of international websites, replacing their content with pro-ISIS messages. In January 2015, ISIS hacked the social media accounts of the U.S. Central Command and posted the personal contact information of numerous retired military officers, waging psychological warfare on men and women in uniform. Lone-wolf terrorists have also taken advantage of advancements in digital communications. In March 2019, a suspected white supremacist livestreamed shooting attacks on two New Zealand mosques that left at least 50 people dead. The suspect broadcasted the massacre on his Facebook account, where he also posted his manifesto. Terrorists’ use of communication technology has shifted tremendously in the past two decades, demanding a greater understanding of these new threats—and a strategy to deal with them.

The next few years will be scary for many reasons, and to some more than others, and part of that will be the continued and likely expanded exploitation of the technologies and services we’ve come to rely on. Communities likely to be targeted by the 45th President policies may want to take a few steps online to help ensure their safety and privacy. The 45th President has gone on the record asking for backdoors to encryption and devices, saying he supports surveillance, and is against Net Neutrality. Policies pursuant to these goals will necessarily put your data at risk. The following are privacy tips anyone can use, but they are particularly relevant for anyone who, for example, plans to participate in protests or grassroots organizing, or for undocumented immigrants who would like to decrease their online presence. I’ve listed them roughly in order of importance. Ditch SMS and use end-to-end encryption If the 45th President makes good on his promise to make deportation of undocumented immigrants, you can expect police to bring the same measures they use in serious crimes to bear on this task.

  • Insularized Connectedness: Mobile Chat Applications and News Production
    Media and Communication (ISSN: 2183–2439) 2019, Volume 7, Issue 1, Pages 179–188 DOI: 10.17645/mac.v7i1.1802 Article Insularized Connectedness: Mobile Chat Applications and News Production Colin Agur Hubbard School of Journalism and Mass Communication, University of Minnesota – Twin Cities, Minneapolis, MN 55455, USA; E-Mail: [email protected] Submitted: 29 October 2018 | Accepted: 16 January 2019 | Published: 19 February 2019 Abstract Focusing on recent political unrest in Hong Kong, this article examines how mobile chat applications (e.g., WhatsApp, WeChat, LINE, Facebook Messenger and others) have permeated journalism. In Hong Kong, mobile chat apps have served as tools for foreign correspondents to follow stories, identify sources, and verify facts; they have also helped reporting teams manage large flows of multimedia information in real-time. To understand the institutional, technological, and cul- tural factors at play, this article draws on 34 interviews the author conducted with journalists who use mobile chat apps in their reporting. Building on the concept of media logic, the article explores technology-involved social interactions and their impact on media work, while acknowledging the agency of users and audiences within a cultural context. It argues that mobile chat apps have become hosts for a logic of connectedness and insularity in media work, and this has led to new forms of co-production in journalism. Keywords chat apps; Hong Kong; journalism; media logic; mobile communication Issue This article is part of the issue “Emerging Technologies in Journalism and Media: International Perspectives on Their Nature and Impact”, edited by John Pavlik (Rutgers University, USA). © 2019 by the author; licensee Cogitatio (Lisbon, Portugal).
