Cyberculture agenda: A #PokemonGo roundup…
Once upon a time there was a video games company called Nintendo which was cherished by gamers for over twenty years. Sadly, in the era of smartphones and tablets, Nintendo struggled to keep up with the changing times and many gamers worried about the company’s future as it seemed doomed to obscurity.
Nintendo’s mega-popular new game shows that augmented reality may yet trump virtual reality.
A privacy trainwreck: Pokemon Go, the hit augmented reality game that’s seeing kids and adults alike scouring the real world looking for monsters to nab, quietly gets access to players’ entire Google accounts.
Too many Pokémon, not enough waking hours to catch them all. That seems to be the crisis for many of the 7.5 million people (in the US alone!) who’vedownloaded Pokémon Go, the mobile game that has people exploring their cities, getting exercise and meeting strangers IRL.
While the whole world seems to be totally obsessed with Pokémon Go, at least six people aren’t going to have the chance to try out the augmented reality gaming sensation anytime soon.
A non-gamer’s best guesses as to what Pokémon Go actually is
I’m a 37-year-old man with a 17-month-old little boy, and I am increasingly out of touch with video games. But since I work at Mashable, where I am the science editor, I am surrounded by people who do play video games, and who are obsessing over something called “Pokémon Go” at the moment.
Rule the shopping cart, catch them all. The post Playing Pokemon Go?
Well, that escalated quickly.
Five days after the launch, Pokémon Go — an augmented reality game in which you hunt virtual Pokémon on your phone in real-life locations — is huge.
Pokemon Go wants access to your Google account (and thus your email and Google Docs) and its privacy policy is a Kafka-esque nightmare document that lets them collect every single imaginable piece of private information about your life and share it with pretty much anyone they want to, forever

Twitter announced that tweets related to Ramadan, which ended July 5, were viewed more than 10.7 billion times, up from 8.4 billion in 2015.
As my colleague Liliana Segura noted on Twitter this morning, the documented killing of black Americans by police officers has become so routine that it is hard for even the racists who seek to justify the slaughter in online comment threads to keep up.
Live-video-streaming services such as Twitter’s Periscope application andFacebook Live have played prominent roles in the fallout over police shootings of African Americans.
The July 6 fatal shooting of Philando Castile in Falcon Heights, Minn., wascaptured on Facebook Live (embedded below, but please be warned, the content is graphic) by Castile’s girlfriend, Diamond Williams.

Cyberculture agenda: RIP, Caspar Bowden… Hacking Team revelations… Reddit woes…
Zero-day exploits are like gold to hackers. Keep them all in one place and you’re asking to get robbed.
As a tribute to the intelligence, commitment and knowledge of this valiant defender of our digital liberties, we publish an inspiring address to the European Parliament in 2013, in grateful memory.
I met Caspar in 2001 while working for EFF; he was working for the Foundation for Internet Policy Research, which tirelessly lobbied the Lords and Parliament on the new surveillance powers that the Blair government wanted to bring in.
Like so many of his friends and colleagues across the world, we were shocked and saddened to hear of the death of Caspar Bowden, the British privacy activist and co-founder of the Foundation for Information Policy Research (FIPR).
Among a community filled with perceptive advocates for a better future, Caspar Bowden stood out as one of the most prescient and the most determined. With a far-reaching knowledge of both policy and technology, he was frequently years ahead of his contemporaries in identifying upcoming issues, and never hesitated to transform his own life and career to better meet those challenges.
The smoke may have cleared from the Reddit uprising, but the clock is now ticking for interim CEO Ellen Pao to prove she can lead the chaotic community while some analysts predict her ouster
Reddit interim CEO Ellen Pao resigned today after facing an all-out revolt on the site in the wake of the firing of a popular employee.
As news of Ellen Pao’s resignation as interim CEO of Reddit spread across the Twitter-sphere, many saw sexism in play.
Testifying before two Senate committees on Wednesday about the threat he says strong encryption presents to law enforcement, FBI Director James Comey didn’t so much propose a solution as wish for one.
The FBI and Department of Justice on Wednesday targeted a new set of threats to national security and law enforcement: not ISIS, or pedophiles, but Apple and Google.
Those companies and others that provide or will soon provide end-to-end encryption make it impossible to read intercepted digital messages — and without naming names, FBI Director James Comey and Deputy Attorney General Sally Quillian Yates said that they will “work with” those companies to ensure access to their customers’ communications.
Google AdSense has been tied to discriminatory practices, and the platform may be so big that Google has lost control of its machine.
After months of citing hypothetical crimes as a reason to give law enforcement a magical key to unlock encrypted digital messages, FBI Director James Comey has latched onto a new bogeyman: ISIS.
The FBI wants to ensure everyday people can’t use strong encryption. For over nine months FBI Director James Comey has been pushing the FBI’s twenty-year-old talking points about why he wants to reduce the security in your devices, rather than help you increase it. Director Comey will appear at two hearings about cryptography on July 8: The first in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee, followed by another in front of the Senate Intelligence Committee.
When you pick up the phone, who you’re calling is none of the government’s business. The NSA’s domestic surveillance of phone metadata was the first program to be disclosed based on documents from whistleblower Edward Snowden, and Americans have been furious about it ever since. The courts ruled it illegal, and Congress let the section of the Patriot Act that justified it expire(though the program lives on in a different form as part of the USA Freedom Act).
Digital technology and its modes of production, representation, distribution, and circulation remodel the conditions of possibility: the definition of Being, the structuring of the Social, the instrumentalization of the Political, the animation of the Cultural.
Brian Lynch and Courtnie Swearingen, two attorneys and Reddit moderators for the popular subreddit r/iAmA, released an op-ed today in the New York Times that catalogued the frustrations that led to the blackout on the subreddit — and later, much of the website — nearly a week ago, when the company abruptly fired talent director Victoria Taylor, also known as /u/chooter. “Ms. Taylor’s sudden termination is just the most recent example of management’s making changes without thinking through what those changes might mean for the people who use the site on a daily basis,” they wrote. According to the pair, which in turn…
Chill. Everyone chill.
The post Is Cyber-Armageddon Upon Us? 3 Glitches Today Have Some Saying Yesappeared first on WIRED.
Firefox has been around since 2002 and Mozilla is looking to rebuild fundamental parts of the browser for the first time. Mozilla’s Director of Engineering, Dave Camp, posted a message to the Mozilla mailing list saying that while Firefox is “built on Web technologies” the company could “do a much better job of capitalizing on it.” The browser’s interface as we know it today was built on top of Mozilla’s XML User Interface Language (XUL), which was invented to “fill the gaps” that HTML had at the time. According to Camp’s email, because XUL isn’t a Web technology it doesn’t get as much attention…
Reddit is defined by its users’ participation—including, crucially, the contributions of volunteer moderators. If Reddit doesn’t keep them happy, Reddit doesn’t exist.
After Europe, it might be America’s turn to enjoy the ‘right to be forgotten‘. A consumer advocacy group in the US is urging the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to investigate why Google hasn’t extended this option to users in the country. Consumer Watchdog’s privacy project director John Simpson wrote to the FTC yesterday, complaining that though Google claims to be dedicated to user privacy, its reluctance to allow Americans to remove ‘irrelevant’ search results is “unfair and deceptive.”
“What is cybersex, and how do I get some? If that’s what you’re asking yourself, you’ve come to the right place.” So begins the 1993 book The Joy of Cybersex, an early guide to the online world of sexual content, right as it was emerging into mainstream consciousness.
It’s no secret that digital marketing has replaced traditional marketing, but that’s become especially true in terms of local advertising. This post highlights three new frontiers of local advertising and marketing.

Alternatif Bilişim Derneği’nden (@altbilisim): Özgür Uçkan Hocamızı Kaybettik
Özgür Uçkan Hocamızı Kaybettik
Daha yazacak, konuşacak, müdahale edecek onca şey vardı ama O artık yok. Alternatif Bilişim Derneği olarak bugüne kadar yaptığımız çok sayıda açıklamada, çıkardığımız kitaplarda, aldığımız kararlarda hep onun izin oldu. Yazık ki bu ‘açıklama’nın ana konusu o.
Haberi aldığımızdan bu yana bir türlü inanamama, gerçekleştiğinde kabul edememe haliyle aradan geçen saatler üzerine ancak böyle bir ‘dağınık’ açıklama derlemek geldi elden.
Dernek kurucu üyemiz, İnternet hak ve özgürlüğü mücadelelerinde ön açanımız, taşını elin altına koyanımızın ardından ne yazsak az, ne söylesek zor. O yüzden ilk adımı cümle cümle atalım dedik. Gerisi mi o gelecek…
Özgür Uçkan’ı tariflemenin yolu çok, o tariflerden birini seçebilmek ise gerçekten zor. ‘İnternet ve hak özgürlükleri mücadelesi öncüsü’, ‘üstad’, ‘Hayatına dokunduğunu değiştiren’, ‘fikir emekçisi’, ‘akıl hocası’, ‘uzaktaki can dost’, ‘entellektüel’, ‘gittiğine inanılamayan insan’, ‘sevgili’, ‘baba’… Belki de İsmail Hakkı Polat’ın da yazdığı gibi, “Türkiye’nin çorak İnternet kültürünün nadide insanı”, güzel insanı…
“Etrafımızda birikimiyle, karakteriyle yetkinliğe ulaşmış o kadar az insan var ki.. Türkiye siber alemi ve felsefe/sanat çevreleri en değerli üyelerinden birini kaybetti..” Erkan Saka böyle duyurdu bloğundan kaybımızı. ‘Arkasından iyi bilirdik denmeyi en çok hak edenlerden…’ olduğunu not düşerek.
Yaşamını yitirdiğinin duyulmasıyla birlikte, farklı disiplinlerden çok sayıda insan kendince üzüntüsünü paylaştı, O’nu anlatmaya çalıştı. İsmail Hakkı Polat, Özgür hocayı ayıran yönü, “Özgür hocayı herkesten ayıran yönü de buydu; çok-disiplinli ve disiplinler arası bakışı. Geçmişten gelen tüm bu birikim ve deneyimini, İnternet gibi dinamikleri net olmayan ama dönüştürücü bir alanla harmanlayabilmek, içinde yaşadığımız bu çağın pek az insanında toplanan bir haslet. İşte bu nedenle hem eski hem de yeni kuşağı ve onların ruhunu çok iyi yakalayabilen nadir akademisyenlerdendi Özgür hoca. Akademik araştırmalar konusunda yönlendirdiğim pek çok öğrenciye (onca vakitsizliğine rağmen) beklediğinden fazlasını sunar ve karmaşık kavramları bile yalın anlatabilme yeteneği sayesinde zihinlerinde farklı ışıklar yakardı.” diye tarifledi bloğundaki yazısında.
Özgür Uçkan teoriyi pratiğiyle birleştiren, İnternet Özgürlüğü mücadelelerinde pankartın en önünde yer alan, eylemleri örgütleyen isimlerdendi. “Neden istemiyoruz?”la bitirmezdi itirazlarını “Nasıl olmalı”larla devam eder, on yılları birkaç ‘slayt’ sayfasıyla alabildiğine yalın anlatırdı.
Yine İsmail hocadan bir alıntı yapacağız, “İnternet, Özgür Uçkan için bir akademik çalışma alanının çok ötesinde bir yaşam alanıydı. “İnternet özgürlüğü” kavramı, benliği hatta kendi adı gibi, onun olmazsa olmazıydı. Bu konudaki tüm tartışma ve mücadelelerde ödün vermez ve sert bir yaklaşım sergilerdi. Herkesin tereddüt ettiği, sinikleştiği ve hatta geri adım attığı zamanlarda bile Özgür hoca, duruşunu bozmazdı.
Onun “kırmızı çizgileri” yoktu, yaşam ilkeleri vardı. Bunları hiç bir zaman pazarlık konusu etmez ve tartışmalarda kıyasıya savunurdu.”, tam da böyleydi işte.
Alternatif Bilişim Derneği üzerinde emeği çok olan üyelerinden biriydi…
Yazacak çok şey var ama bugünlük bizi, bu mini yazıyı derleyen ben İlden’i mazur görün..
İnanmak zor, acı ve çaresizlik büyük… İzleyen günlerde Özgür Uçkan’ı, biricik dostumuzu, hocamızı anmak, fikirlerini/ fikirlerimizi anlatmak için elimizden geleni yapacağız.
Bir de her zaman yaptığımızı yapıp, özgür bir İnternet için mücadele etmeye devam edeceğiz…

Meet Turkey’s new environmental rebel(s): Havva Ana #YesilYolaDurDe

According to bianet’s tally, men killed 21 women, raped 9 women and teenager girls and injured 25 women in June. 12% of women who exposed to violence were seriously injured with lethal weapons due to divorce claim or legal separation.
