* House Judiciary Committee Forced Into Difficult
Compromise on Surveillance Reform
The House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday approved the USA
Liberty Act, a surveillance reform package introduced last
month. The bill is seen by many as the best option for
reauthorizing and reforming Section 702 of the FISA
Amendments Act of 2008, which is set to expire in less than
two months.
Some committee members described feeling forced to choose
between supporting stronger surveillance reforms or
advancing the Liberty Act, and voiced their frustration
about provisions that only partly block the warrantless
search of Americans' communications when an amendment with
broader surveillance reforms was available. Complicating
their deliberations was the fact that the Senate Select
Committee on Intelligence has already reported out a bill
with far fewer surveillance protections.

EFF Updates
* TSA Plans to Use Face Recognition to Track Americans
Through Airports
The "PreCheck" program is billed as a convenient service to
allow U.S. travelers to "speed through security" at
airports. However, the latest proposal released by the
Transportation Security Administration (TSA) reveals the
Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) greater underlying
plan to collect face images and iris scans on a nationwide
scale. DHS's programs will become a massive violation of
privacy that could serve as a gateway to the collection of
biometric data to identify and track every traveler at
every airport and border crossing in the country.

* Here’s How Congress Should Respond to the Equifax
Breach
In the wake of Equifax's massive breach of 145.5-million
Americans' most sensitive information, EFF has some
suggestions for Congress to ensure that victims of data
breaches like these are compensated fairly when a company
is negligent with their sensitive data.
Congress needs to empower an expert agency like the FTC
with rule-making authority to set security standards and
enforce them. Congress should not preempt state data breach
laws, but should establish that credit bureaus have a
fiduciary duty to protect our data. People impacted by
breaches should have an unwaiveable right to sue companies
that are negligent with sensitive data.

* Verizon Asks the Federal Communications Commission to
Prohibit States from Protecting User Privacy
After lobbying Congress to repeal consumer privacy
protections over ISPs, Verizon wants the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) to do it a favor and
preempt states from restoring their privacy rights. After
Congress repealed the FCC's previous privacy rule, dozens
of state bills were introduced to restore broadband
privacy.
It would be unwise for the FCC to attempt to block consumer
privacy protections at Verizon's behest, and it would be on
shaky legal footing if it tried to do so.

* U.S. Federal Court Rejects Global Search Order
Does Google U.S. have to obey a Canadian court order
requiring Google to take down information around the world,
ignoring contrary rules in other jurisdictions? According
to the Northern District of California in Google v.
Equustek, the answer is no.
A court in one country has no business issuing a decision
affecting the rights of citizens around the world. The
Canadian order set a dangerous precedent that would be
followed by others, creating a race to the bottom as courts
in countries with far weaker speech protections would feel
empowered to effectively edit the Internet.

* Do Not Track Implementation Guide Launched
We recently released the implementation guide for EFF's Do
Not Track (DNT) policy. For years users have been able to
set a Do Not Track signal in their browser, but there has
been little guidance for websites as to how to honor that
request. EFF's DNT policy sets out a meaningful response
for servers to follow, and the guide provides details about
how to apply it in practice.
The guide exists as a Git repository and will evolve. We
want your contributions and invite you to use it as a space
to share advice on web privacy engineering. If you have
suggestions for other DNT-compliant service providers,
please submit them.
The guide: https://github.com/EFForg/dnt-guidehttps://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2017/10/do-not-track-implementation-guide-lau…
* DDoS Guide Relaunch: Keep Your Site Safe from Zombie
Attacks
Keeping Your Site Alive, our guide for keeping your site
online amidst a DoS (denial of service) or DDoS
(distributed denial of service) attack, now has a new look
and new advice. The guide, originally created and updated
in conjunction with the Tactical Technology Collective, is
aimed at human rights defenders, independent publications,
and other administrators of small websites.

* Epson is Using its eBay “Trusted Status” to Make
Competing Ink Sellers Vanish
Epson claims that generic ink cartridges that are
compatible with its printers violate a nonspecific patent
in nonspecific ways. Because Epson is part of eBay's VeRo
program, through which trusted vendors can have listings
removed without anyone checking the validity of the claim,
eBay removed many third-party ink sellers' products without
any further scrutiny.
The Open Rights Group--whose analysis shows that Epson is
acting to hurt the resale market, not to assert patents
against the manufacturers that are their competitors--have
asked the UK Intellectual Property Office to investigate
Epson's business practices.

Hallo zusammen,
Da wir uns nun langsam aber sicher der finalen Version der hood nähern,
hab ich angefangen ein erstes Netzkonzept für das höhere liegende Routing zu schreiben.
Diese Konzept soll ein Entwurf für einen ersten Vorschlag einer Dezentralen hood mit
lokalen DSL Exits und Routing für hood übergreifende Richtfunkverbindungen sein.
Es kann sein das noch ein Haufen Rechtschreibfehler enthalten sind, ich bitte davon abzusehen ;P
Allgemein habe ich versucht möglichst viel von der reinen WLAN Struktur bis hin zum Routingkonzept
zu erklären und verständlich zu bebildern. Falls denn noch was unklar ist würde ich mich sehr gerne
über eine Anmerkung freuen.
Ansonsten freue ich mich auf Feedback und evtl. andere Konzepte. :)

Dear Supporter of Digital Freedom,
Threats to civil liberties have changed shape with the growth of technology, but EFF members continue to rise to the occasion to fight for the users. In these extraordinary times, I am asking you to answer our call to protect the cornerstones of democracy: privacy and free expression. Please join today: https://eff.org/r.wki2
EFF has led the movement to protect digital freedom since before the spread of the Web as we know it today, and it's ordinary supporters who forged EFF into a bulwark against attempts at legal and policy overreach that threaten our fundamental freedoms. Together we're addressing serious issues including rampant warrantless device searches at the border, an opportunity to end U.S. domestic spying under Section 702, and the precarious state of the open Internet.
Member support has allowed EFF to fight back by suing the Department of Homeland Security to protect travelers’ privacy at the border, asking the Supreme Court to address unconstitutional surveillance under 702 in United States v. Mohamud, and shepherding hundreds of thousands of pro-net neutrality comments to the Federal Communications Commission. These are long battles that will change the way that we interact for years to come, and we need your help to succeed in setting things right.
EFF is built on support from people just like you who contribute what they can to create a better future. Please give today and help make a difference for technology users everywhere: https://eff.org/r.wki2
Yours in digital freedom,
Maggie Kazmierczak

Hi,
das Zertifikat für das Ticketsystem ist abgelaufen und das Ticketsystem
damit unbrauchbar.
Leider erwarten Menschen antworten, die erste spätestens jetzt.
Ich habe leider keine Ahnung wie das da eingerichtet ist.
Es wäre klasse, wenn jemand mit Ahnung sich kurz meldet und anschließend
a) das Zertifikat erneuert
b) den certbot so einrichtet, dass das nicht wieder vorkommt.

Viele Grüße,
Simon
