- | MEDIA CASE - INTRODUCTION | ||
- | |||
- | Ideals ... | ||
- | |||
- | While the other movements of the 50s and 60s had produced | ||
- | |||
- | tangible results, the hippie movement did not (if not | ||
- | |||
- | counting the Woodstock festival). | ||
- | |||
- | Thus, in the 70s some put their hopes in technology. | ||
- | |||
- | They started developing new technologies for the alternative | ||
- | |||
- | press, community radio stations, home-brew computer clubs | ||
- | |||
- | and video collectives. | ||
- | |||
- | So... | ||
- | |||
- | o Social media is a giant phenomenon, but not entirely free! | ||
- | |||
- | o The state of free publishing ... free anywhere, free format? | ||
- | |||
- | like there is a need for basics, charity, nonprofits, | ||
- | |||
- | there is a place for 'free media': | ||
- | |||
- | and yes! good thing if social media can serve as a topic | ||
- | |||
- | switch board for the cybermind. Always media & bubble aware | ||
- | |||
- | With these ideals... Where are we?? | ||

- | |||
- | concerning the case of our declining traffic, | ||
- | |||
- | due to our status at twitter, google, and | ||
- | |||
- | the comments on that on this site ... | ||
- | |||
- | this changes everything: | ||
- | |||
- | dark forces denigrate environmentalists as terrorists | ||
- | |||
- | (a practice well-known to westcoast, we ran a website devoted to this naming) | ||
- | |||
- | snippet from https:// | ||
- | |||
- | The contact person given was Rich Levine, who previously | ||
- | |||
- | worked for Bivings as a Monsanto web-guru. [49] The president | ||
- | |||
- | of V-fluence is Jay Byrne, who has over 15 years experience | ||
- | |||
- | in public relations, campaign communications and government | ||
- | |||
- | affairs. [50] He was also the former chief internet strategist | ||
- | |||
- | and director of corporate communications for Monsanto, where | ||
- | |||
- | he spent a quarter of his time monitoring the web for rogue | ||
- | |||
- | web- and activist sites. [51] In 2001, Byrne gave a presentation | ||
- | |||
- | to a PR conference called ' | ||
- | |||
- | Look at the Perils and Power of the Internet' | ||
- | |||
- | into Monsanto' | ||
- | |||
- | protect your brand', | ||
- | |||
- | necessary to 'Take Action, Take Control' | ||
- | |||
- | included: 'Viral marketing and other dialogue opportunities, | ||
- | |||
- | monitoring and participation' | ||
- | |||
- | One PowerPoint slide showed ' | ||
- | |||
- | included 'Daily monitoring of over 500 competitor, industry, | ||
- | |||
- | " | ||
- | |||
- | usergroups and chat rooms; Technology monitoring and updates | ||
- | |||
- | including search engine programs and legal monitoring' | ||
- | |||
- | Another chart on the PowerPoint presentation gave the difference | ||
- | |||
- | before and after taking control of the internet to rig a search | ||
- | |||
- | engine to go from finding hits they did not want to finding hits | ||
- | |||
- | they did want if someone was searching for 'GM foo' | ||
- | |||
- | hits included: ' | ||
- | |||
- | FDA; Biotech Knowledge Center; CFFAR; Food Biotech Center; and | ||
- | |||
- | Biotech Basics' | ||
- | |||
- | independent sites, yet we now know that three of these are | ||
- | |||
- | acknowledged Bivings projects BioTech Terms; Biotech Knowledge | ||
- | |||
- | Center and Biotech Basics. Two seem to have links to Bivings | ||
- | |||
- | AgBioWorld and CFFAR. One AgCare is a biotech lobby front in | ||
- | |||
- | Canada, and the other the US FDA is seen by the biotech industry | ||
- | |||
- | as an ally. | ||
- | |||
- | Of these, the CFFAR site is the most worrying in that it denigrates | ||
- | |||
- | environmentalists as terrorists. It is the site that Andura wanted | ||
- | |||
- | the scientists to look at. Once you denigrate someone it becomes | ||
- | |||
- | easier to attack them, both physically and mentally and even | ||
- | |||
- | intellectually. Byrne finished by quoting Michael Dell, the | ||
- | |||
- | CEO of Dell computers: 'Think of the internet as a weapon on | ||
- | |||
- | the table. Either you pick it up or your competitor does | ||
- | |||
- | but somebody is going to get killed.' | ||
- | |||
- | === | ||
- | |||
- | is it possible to link companies that promote, finance these practices | ||
- | |||
- | not only to the fate my twitter, google status but also to the 2008 | ||
- | |||
- | attempt on my plz swype, the manipulation of google to hide | ||
- | |||
- | violence against green in the EU (nl, uk) as reported in 2014? | ||
- | |||
- | (this is NOT what WE're about, of course) | ||
- | |||
- | === | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | |||
- | Google seems to focus on more friendly | ||
- | |||
- | news, projects, info when it comes | ||
- | |||
- | to green, and avoid govt. criticism | ||

- | terminal thoughts on 70s publishing ideals | ||
- | |||
- | We think for google the end of non-profit Web | ||
- | |||
- | has a certain logic, because it connects | ||
- | |||
- | information to people, or vv. | ||
- | |||
- | It's related to current 'end of audience' | ||
- | |||
- | It's no use to publish non-profit information | ||
- | |||
- | because in this media world people will never | ||
- | |||
- | hear from something they have not already set | ||
- | |||
- | up their devices to hear about - the info consumer | ||
- | |||
- | has ' | ||
- | |||
- | The 70s westcoast ideals of publishing for all has | ||
- | |||
- | grown to be more about connecting one to one, | ||
- | |||
- | using search. | ||
- | |||
- | Search and web is often about facts or context, not an | ||
- | |||
- | extensive attempt at persuasion - that can happen | ||
- | |||
- | on facebook or twitter and for the big social issues, | ||
- | |||
- | like those listed on wikipedia article ' | ||
- | |||
- | So, there is no free audience for all, | ||
- | |||
- | not provided by google at least: | ||

- | the EU initiative ' | ||
- | |||
- | is now being enforced - corporate justice | ||
- | |||
- | as i wrote, has arrived. Twitter punishes | ||
- | |||
- | and seeks purpetrators with a crude algorithm. | ||
- | |||
- | We estimate that in the first two weeks | ||
- | |||
- | a whopping 250.000 europeans had their right | ||
- | |||
- | to free speech violated. If 1 in 10 would have | ||
- | |||
- | counted on social media to promote a company | ||
- | |||
- | and sued for 500.000 euros, we lost 12.5B | ||
- | |||
- | in potential economically, | ||
- | |||
- | for certain. After this black day of censorship | ||
- | |||
- | and corporate execution or justice ... we | ||

- | |||
- | or has a one-size-fits-all ' | ||
- | |||
- | === | ||
- | |||
- | [more recent, written somewhat less chaotic ...] | ||
- | |||
- | Digital Media Firms, Government & Freedom Nov2015-Jun2016 | ||
- | |||
- | An Account of coming to terms with, and documenting, | ||
- | |||
- | freedom & ' | ||
- | |||
- | 22 issues discussed here ... | ||
- | |||
- | SUMMARY - THE PROBLEM WITH THIS ARGUMENT | ||
- | |||
- | So, what are we trying to tell you? | ||
- | |||
- | o the westcoast ideals of open and free press, media | ||
- | |||
- | are in danger. the govt is putting direct requests | ||
- | |||
- | towards silicon valley internet giants to make | ||
- | |||
- | the web more polite and avoid radicalisation | ||
- | |||
- | o google by ways of its position (search, dns, and | ||
- | |||
- | its plan to enforce safe ads and https) could | ||
- | |||
- | create a safe, but NOT OPEN web 3.0 | ||
- | |||
- | (and they' | ||
- | |||
- | /open/ web, strangely enough) | ||
- | |||
- | The trouble is that the facts around which the story | ||
- | |||
- | above revolves is in a way a media story, and partially | ||
- | |||
- | quite technical, and more a digital security story. | ||
- | |||
- | So, we think, hardly anybody sees the story, or | ||
- | |||
- | perceives the story this way (but it's more than | ||
- | |||
- | merely a matter of perception, the web is changing!). | ||
- | |||
- | So, finally (for now), say you are a cnet tech news | ||
- | |||
- | reader... what are signs this is happening? | ||
- | |||
- | o check out the red and blue underlined stories | ||
- | |||
- | in this bookmark screenshot of cnet stories dec15-feb16 | ||
- | |||
- | there are 4 or 5, plus 3 stories about pages getting | ||
- | |||
- | kicked off facebook, in which it enforces its | ||
- | |||
- | community standards regulation, which are very vague | ||
- | |||
- | and strange in principle, considering facebook is | ||
- | |||
- | used by a global audience without one-size-fits-all | ||
- | |||
- | ' | ||
- | |||
- | o you could, it's up to you, see that MORE stories | ||
- | |||
- | than in the 3 months before dec15 (sep-nov15) | ||
- | |||
- | have this 'let us (automatically) purge all | ||
- | |||
- | aggression, unpoliteness (and terror) for you' | ||
- | |||
- | THE PROBLEM - A LITTLE PURGE? ANY SIZE A PROBLEM! | ||
- | |||
- | Concerning the web 3.0, we admit it's a small problem. | ||
- | |||
- | We estimate that roughly 10-30 million personal | ||
- | |||
- | freeform paid webpages exist (some webstats), These are mostly | ||
- | |||
- | well-paid, well-positioned individuals. They have been or | ||
- | |||
- | will be hit by google' | ||
- | |||
- | afford to solve the problem and get a certificate. | ||
- | |||
- | The worrying part is the freeform, mostly paid ' | ||
- | |||
- | part of the websites, which we estimate to number 300 | ||
- | |||
- | thousand. These are probably profiled to be ' | ||
- | |||
- | by twitter and probably suffer from both this authority | ||
- | |||
- | profiling and google' | ||
- | |||
- | to 100 thousand, might even have been included in the | ||
- | |||
- | 125 thousand deletion of radical accounts on twitter. | ||
- | |||
- | A BIG PROBLEM? - WELL... IT'S CONTROL! | ||
- | |||
- | The fact that just 2 suffer minor measures against 1 | ||
- | |||
- | who are deleted would indicate the harshness of such | ||
- | |||
- | a ' | ||
- | |||
- | only depends on a chosen degree of acceptable speech. | ||
- | |||
- | And speech /should/ be very free. Only direct threats to | ||
- | |||
- | safety should matter. The rest /is/ state control. | ||
- | |||
- | Govts in the west went from ... | ||

- | damages progress in society however. | ||
- | |||
- | 1) | ||
- | |||
- | Freedom of expression could be like online | ||
- | |||
- | privacy ... one should try to help the society | ||
- | |||
- | make workable and realistic compromise. | ||

- | If all the techies hide in absolutism, the tech | ||
- | |||
- | will be worse of, and society - Obama said | ||

- | Westcoast tries to thread together the developments | ||
- | |||
- | and paint a picture of it, to help transparancy, | ||
- | |||
- | early warning for authoritarianism and things | ||
- | |||
- | like cyberpunk' | ||
- | |||
- | corporatism. We'll try to put up here what seems | ||
- | |||
- | happening, almost happening and what position | ||
- | |||
- | that brings us in, plain english, politically. | ||
- | |||
- | (not: polite, not: safety focused) ... the internet | ||

- | Okay, that may be the military course that the West wants. | ||
- | |||
- | But overhere, knowing what that means, /online/: it means | ||
- | |||
- | sinking to the level of the most aggressive party on the West' | ||
- | |||
- | side: Turkey (violence upon different own parties and media) | ||
- | |||
- | A dutch politician, columnwriter and a publisher had their | ||
- | |||
- | pages removed. Our guess says, based on xp, that is world | ||
- | |||
- | news because these people have some kind of voice anyway | ||
- | |||
- | (also without a facebook page). | ||
- | |||
- | So we estimate: | ||
- | |||
- | [10]min to [100]max times 10 waves [during Turkey' | ||
- | |||
- | actions] times 40 countries | ||
- | |||
- | means 4000 to 40,000 have probably been affected, | ||
- | |||
- | without being involved in any kind of violence. | ||
- | |||
- | That's the dark part of this online victory 'on ISIS'. | ||
- | |||
- | The West's campaign is now based on war, violence | ||
- | |||
- | /and/ suppression, | ||
- | |||
- | to us, in /such measure/ (4000-40, | ||
- | |||
- | We're happy there' | ||
- | |||
- | But this is a dark month for freedom. | ||
- | |||
- | To be continued ... | ||
- | |||
- | 2016-05-16 | ||
- | |||
- | Luckily, the day after having this dark perspective | ||
- | |||
- | on the nature of the web and the role of the tech | ||
- | |||
- | firms, the New York Times international (news paper) | ||
- | |||
- | offered a more positive outlook: | ||
- | |||
- | You could say: the tech firms transformed and | ||
- | |||
- | are no longer a platform (my term) but | ||
- | |||
- | are curators for news and entertainment | ||
- | |||
- | Still means we lost neutrality and democracy though ;) | ||
- | |||
- | To be continued ... | ||
- | |||
- | 2015-05-19 | ||
- | |||
- | Facebook ... acting (deletion 01, deletion 02) | ||
- | |||
- | on behalf of aggressive ww3 effort partners or just | ||
- | |||
- | not neutral, and highly unpredictable ... does it | ||
- | |||
- | just /act/ like it's censoring a lot on behalf | ||
- | |||
- | of Turkey? ;-) | ||
- | |||
- | Here's more on the algorithms. | ||
- | |||
- | The Real Bias Built In at Facebook - read here (NYTi) | ||
- | |||
- | Algorithm that decides what goes in the feed ... | ||
- | |||
- | values comments and sharing. All this suits cont// | ||
- | |||
- | designed to generate either a sense of oversize delight | ||
- | |||
- | or righteous outrage and go viral, hoaxes and | ||
- | |||
- | conspiracies as well as baby pictures, happy | ||
- | |||
- | announcements (that can be liked) and | ||
- | |||
- | important news and discussions | ||
- | |||
- | I can only say New York Times international | ||
- | |||
- | (algorithms, | ||
- | |||
- | transformed from platform to ' | ||
- | |||
- | is a lot milder than us from time to time, or | ||
- | |||
- | the Guardian, which posted an opinion item | ||
- | |||
- | which said the gov already lost control to the tech | ||
- | |||
- | firms. | ||
- | |||
- | The state has lost control: tech firms now run | ||
- | |||
- | western politics - read here (Guardian) | ||
- | |||
- | Maybe safest to say is that the democracy | ||
- | |||
- | has been killed in ' | ||
- | |||
- | commerce, the illusion of security. | ||
- | |||
- | And that while the idea of ' | ||
- | |||
- | its citizens under the promise of Europe to use | ||
- | |||
- | 'soft power' to make the world better. | ||
- | |||
- | Now we're / | ||
- | |||
- | know who to blame. The gov, the firms or some | ||
- | |||
- | algorithm. Maybe 'the machines' | ||
- | |||
- | movies were just not transparant enough too? :) | ||
- | |||
- | To be continued ... | ||
- | |||
- | 2016-05-20 | ||
- | |||
- | Keeping the anti-police violence in France in mind, | ||
- | |||
- | westcoast is not asking for revolution. It's just | ||
- | |||
- | that the internet allows one to get up to speed | ||
- | |||
- | on media freedom. Again, we do believe media freedom, | ||
- | |||
- | new stages in communication is just as fundamental as | ||
- | |||
- | actual freedom of speech. But revolution is too much, | ||
- | |||
- | the internet has an intrinsic freedom, and the force | ||
- | |||
- | behind it is the force of speech. It will not stop. | ||
- | |||
- | The internet gives people an information advantage | ||
- | |||
- | because the line from war/ | ||
- | |||
- | defamation), | ||
- | |||
- | freedom of speech online is short. The line is | ||
- | |||
- | short and feedback on censorship is still doable | ||
- | |||
- | and trustworthy (can you print that 404 Page not | ||
- | |||
- | found for me?, and the likes). Although the matters | ||
- | |||
- | on social networks are more graded (profile, | ||
- | |||
- | algorithm, and provided audience). | ||
- | |||
- | On twitter and facebook, and the web, it is very | ||
- | |||
- | well possible to criticize in the form of quite | ||
- | |||
- | technical or philosophical messages. | ||
- | |||
- | Specific accusations or defamation can lead to | ||
- | |||
- | prosecution, | ||
- | |||
- | If your expression of discontent is about how you | ||
- | |||
- | were treated by a certain party, be it religious, | ||
- | |||
- | government, police, military, a relation or a | ||
- | |||
- | criminal? The balance you want to strike is | ||
- | |||
- | between a message that points to you, to resque | ||
- | |||
- | you, and towards them, which endangers you more | ||
- | |||
- | (again). | ||
- | |||
- | We can only say, if you want to be unerasable. | ||
- | |||
- | Don't seek for it on the internet, be that thing | ||
- | |||
- | yourself, alive. Be a living insult towards war | ||
- | |||
- | and force for example. But don't organize. | ||
- | |||
- | Yes. You want to retreat. The rich retreat, | ||
- | |||
- | the old retreat. Get both. Double retreat :). | ||
- | |||
- | Speak from wisdom when you're young, be wise | ||
- | |||
- | enough to sit back later and remember fondly. | ||
- | |||
- | To be continued ... | ||

- | === | ||
- | |||
- | Conclusion | ||
- | |||
- | We would want to, but we can't change the nature | ||
- | |||
- | of the Web as it is now: | ||
- | |||
- | o the majority hardly leaves the social web | ||
- | |||
- | o a large part of the rest of the web is | ||
- | |||
- | accessed through apps and/or is commercial | ||
- | |||
- | The westcoast ideals have faded: the 2013-2016 purge | ||
- | |||
- | Looking at our own stats.... many brazil webpage hits | ||
- | |||
- | indicates that google purged our sweet webpage. | ||
- | |||
- | It has been on the Web since 1995 | ||
- | |||
- | Everyone would do their own publishing. Now everyone | ||
- | |||
- | is on the pages of a few commercial social media sites. | ||
- | |||
- | International press freedom is in decline | ||
- | |||
- | since 2013, so is freedom on the social media. | ||
- | |||
- | Communication enters new stages of development. | ||
- | |||
- | The affected freedom is no less fundamental | ||
- | |||
- | than affecting actual speech. | ||
- | |||

- | Germany' | ||

- | censorship questions surrounding tech firms' algoritmes | ||
- | |||
- | (however, not the question of censorship by EU and | ||
- | |||
- | the question of corporate action resulting in limitation | ||
- | |||
- | of free speech and ... freedom of speech differences | ||
- | |||
- | linked to profiling of users by the firms.) | ||
- | |||
- | Merkel wants Facebook and Google' | ||
- | |||
- | Update 2016-10-29 B | ||
- | |||
- | Wired Magazine UK has a 6 page article on the problem | ||
- | |||
- | that social media, comment sections online, etc face. | ||
- | |||
- | It reports on studies into authoritarian regimes, the | ||
- | |||
- | people that get into trouble, trolling, 'troll farms' | ||
- | |||
- | And Google' | ||
- | |||
- | which have the intention to study and automate, resp. | ||
- | |||
- | The mentioned free speech activists and as we already | ||
- | |||
- | were aware even trolling victims often dont want | ||
- | |||
- | censorship, especially not automated. One feared the | ||
- | |||
- | ' | ||
- | |||
- | Wired coins the digital ' | ||
- | |||
- | coined ' | ||
- | |||
- | is an erosion of human rights (free speech), sense | ||
- | |||
- | of justice, etc. Also important to discuss is how | ||
- | |||
- | these devs affect sense of justice in people that | ||
- | |||
- | are growing up now and never knew justice classic. | ||

- | PS Haven' | ||

- | again can sense some EU censor-trouble there | ||
- | |||
- | the Usenet is an ancient ' | ||
- | |||
- | really not that relevant, but i feel locked up | ||

- | if there' | ||
