  • Restore. Protect. Expand. the Right to Dissent RESTORE
    to restore the constitution white papers Restore. Protect. Expand. The Right to Dissent RESTORE. PROTECT. EXPAND: THE RIGHT TO DISSENT “Terrorism” is a word that has been exploited by the Executive branch repeatedly since 9/11 to provide rationale for going to war, unlawfully wiretapping U.S. citizens, and indefinitely detaining and torturing non-U.S. citizens in violation of the Constitution and international law. In doing so, the Executive has redirected the American people’s tax dollars away from critical domestic problems – such as healthcare, education, and truly preventing terrorism through safeguarding nuclear material or improving airport screening. In addition, it has encouraged law enforcement agencies to abuse their powers both domestically and internationally, through targeting, torturing and detaining political activists and Muslim and Arab individuals and communities. This paper, “The Right to Dissent,” explores the current situation of attacks upon and criminalization of dissent, from the surveillance of activists to the federalization of local law enforcement, to the labeling of activists as “terrorists.” It presents a vision for the First 100 Days of the next President’s administration that repudiates such attacks and upholds the First Amendment and our human rights. From the passage of the USA PATRIOT ACT in 2001 and the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act (AETA) in 2006, to the broad usage of existing repressive legislation, such as the Anti-Terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, the past seven years have seen a wide-scale expansion of the use of “terrorism” descriptions, definitions and charges, particularly justifying repressive measures taken against political activists. The broad definitions of “domestic terrorism” established in the USA PATRIOT Act and “animal enterprise terrorism” established in the AETA have not effectively combated terrorism.

  • Surveillance, Privacy Concerns and Beliefs About the Utility of ICT4D in Africa – a Hybrid Approach to Empirical Investigation
    Surveillance, privacy concerns and beliefs about the utility of ICT4D in Africa – A hybrid approach to empirical Investigation (Submitted to Surveillance & Society journal) Egwuchukwu Ani Renaissance University, Ugbawka P.M.B. 01183 Enugu, Nigeria [email protected] Abstract: Numerous international development literatures perceives the use of ICT4D in Africa as having a revolutionary impact on development. While such literatures draw our attention to important attributes of ICT4D and the transformational effects hitherto, they also miss to highlight the inevitable possibilities ensuing from its utilities. This work analyses the possible adverse effect of ICT4D, through the lens of surveillance and privacy concerns, and by the use of rigorous and multiple empirical investigations. The authors first developed and tested a theoretical model using second generation multivariate statistics (LISREL). Data were generated through online questionnaires and interviews. The authors then employed a novel computational approach to content analysis – by scraping Twitter data of key influencers on surveillance, privacy, and ICT4D in Africa. Generally, we found that surveillance and privacy have growing apprehensions over ICT usefulness for development initiatives. We further discussed the possible reason for our findings and implications. Introduction The use of information and communication technology (ICT) in Africa for development interventions, has been widely established in literatures in terms of ICT for development (ICT4D1 - benefit and opportunities for development). Some ICT4D scholars have maintained the usual implicit assumption of communication technology as accelerating socio-economic development, eradicating poverty, digital gap and spurring inclusive innovations (Brown and Grant 2010; Madon et al. 2009; Walsham 2005, 2012; World Bank 2012)2. This is, of course, with some good cause; new technologies present countless opportunities for expression, connectivity and empowerment (Graham 2016, 2017).

  • Surveillance Intermediaries
    Stanford Law Review Volume 70 January 2018 ARTICLE Surveillance Intermediaries Alan Z. Rozenshtein* Abstract. Apple’s high-profile 2016 fight with the FBI, in which the company challenged a court order commanding it to help unlock the iPhone of one of the San Bernardino terrorists, exemplifies how central the question of regulating government surveillance has become in U.S. politics and law. But scholarly attempts to answer this question have suffered from a serious omission. Scholars have ignored how government surveillance is checked by surveillance intermediaries: companies like Apple, Google, and Facebook that dominate digital communications and data storage and on whose cooperation government surveillance relies. This Article fills this gap in the scholarly literature, providing the first comprehensive analysis of how surveillance intermediaries constrain the surveillance executive: the law enforcement and foreign-intelligence agencies that conduct surveillance. In so doing, it enhances our conceptual understanding of, and thus our ability to improve, the institutional design of government surveillance. Surveillance intermediaries have financial and ideological incentives to resist government requests for user data. Their techniques of resistance are proceduralism and litigiousness that reject voluntary cooperation in favor of minimal compliance and aggressive litigation; technological unilateralism, in which companies design products and services to make surveillance harder; and policy mobilization that rallies legislative and public opinion against government surveillance. Surveillance intermediaries also enhance the surveillance separation of powers: They make the surveillance executive more subject to interbranch * Visiting Assistant Professor of Law, University of Minnesota Law School.

    NFHS Policy Debate Topic Paper United States Police Reform “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere “ - Martin Luther King Jr. “I am not against the police, I am just afraid of them” - Alfred Hitchcock “We can no longer go to separate corners and place upon the public a false choice of either “black lives matter” or “blue lives matter.” Instead, communities, law enforcement officials, lawmakers, and community leaders alike must admit our country’s tainted past.” - Danyelle Solomon is the Director of Progress 2050 at the Center for American Progress. Submitted by: Chris Lowery Director of Speech & Debate Chesterton HS, Indiana July 2017 Table of Contents Introduction 3 Importance of the Topic 3 Reasons for consideration 4 Role of the Federal Government 4 Aff Case Ground 5 Race Issues 5 Militarization 11 Neg Ground 14 Pertinent Definitions 21 Possible Resolutions 24 Availability of Literature 24 Conclusion 25 2 Introduction: Until Donald Trump stole the headlines, the number one story of 2016 was police brutality – particularly directed towards unarmed African-American males. The consequences were tragic for more than the just victims. Since then we have all been witnesses to blowback in the form of premeditated attacks against police and a precipitous decline in both the trust and legitimacy in our nation’s law enforcement. Michael Brown, Alton Sterling, and Eric Garner are just a few of the names of unarmed African-Americans whose deaths at the hands of the police captured the majority of the news cycle during 2016. While this topic is certain to contain debates about the relationship between police and minorities, the issues involving our nation’s police forces go significantly deeper.

  • The End of Techno Crime Fighters Forum: the Real Backstory
    The End of Techno Crime Fighters Forum: The Real Backstory -Ramola D/Posted 8/14/2018 The need for this written statement of course arises from the fact that Katherine (Dr. Katherine Horton)--with whom Karen (NSA whistleblower Karen Melton-Stewart), Millicent (Dr. Millicent Black) and I have worked for over a year on the weekly Techno Crime Fighters Forum podcast set up by Dr. Paul Marko and Mindy Urken and on JIT, the Joint Investigation Team set up by Katherine --has recently made a massively defamatory video pretty much slamming me to death and putting out an incredible amount of misframing, misdirection, lies, deceit, and slander about how and why Techno has closed, and what really occurred in the last week prior to its close. Issues Over the Past Year & the Primary Issue The real backstory—which Katherine has not touched, being too involved in image damage control apparently while regrettably focusing on projecting a false sense of innocence and being-wronged-ness--is that numerous frustrating issues had been brewing in the background for quite some time, issues in particular related to Katherine but also issues related to how increasingly unfocused and unplanned Techno had become, how much time it took up on Thursdays, how delayed it often was, as well as how dominated it often was by Katherine on-air, often extended toward the end by her sharing screens and expounding interminably when it was time to wrap up.
