A device for producing a desired change. : . : . : . : . : . : . : . : . : . : . : . : . : . : . : In our 734th issue: * EFF Wins Final Victory Over Podcasting Patent The Supreme Court denied Personal Audio LLC's petition for review, putting an end to a years-long fight between EFF and the patent troll. Personal Audio had claimed that podcasters like Adam Corolla and other, smaller podcasters infringed its patent for a "system disseminating media content" in serialized episodes. EFF challenged the patent arguing, among other things, that people were podcasting before Personal Audio first applied for its patent. EFF first won in the Patent Office in 2015, and with the decision from the Supreme Court, this case is finally over and podcasters can cast without fear.

The final Senate vote was 52 to 47 in favor. That puts a bare majority of the Senate in step with the 86% of Americans [1] who oppose the FCC’s repeal of net neutrality protections. This is a great first step, but now the fight moves to the House of Representatives. Under the Congressional Review Act (CRA), a majority vote in Congress can overturn the FCC's rule. With the passage of the CRA measure in the Senate, we're partway to restoring net neutrality protections. However, a majority of the members of the House of Representatives have not committed to voting for it. We have to keep up the momentum that got us a win in the Senate by getting 218 representatives committing to voting in favor. Take a minute to check where your representative stands, and, if they haven't already, ask them to stand up for net neutrality.

This understandably has caused people to ask many questions. We've attempted to answer some of the most important ones for you, such as what attacks the researchers have found, who was affected by the vulnerabilities, and what to look out for going forward. We'll continue to update our pages as this situation evolves, so keep checking back on EFF.org. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/05/pgp-and-efail-frequently-asked-questi… * Privacy Badger Rolls Out New Ways to Fight Facebook Tracking EFF released a new version of Privacy Badger featuring a new, experimental way to protect your privacy on and, crucially, off Facebook. When you click a link on Facebook, the external link is wrapped in a URL that points back to Facebook.com. Facebook is not alone in this, as companies like Google and Twitter do the same. Facebook goes a step further by hiding that wrapped Facebook.com URL so it looks innocuous, but is still tracking where you go. To combat this, the latest version of Privacy Badger finds all those wraps as they’re added to the page, replaces them with their "unwrapped" equivalents, and blocks the tracking code that would run when you hover over or click on them. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/05/privacy-badger-rolls-out-new-ways-fig… * EFF Presents John Scalzi's Science Fiction Story About Our Right to Repair Petition to the Copyright Office Section 1201 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act makes it illegal to get around any sort of lock that controls access to copyrighted material. While it is possible to get exemptions to this provision, it's a long and arduous process that still results in burdens being placed on things like repair shops. Because there is copyrighted software in cars, mechanics can be violating the law when they try to get into the diagnostic systems of your car. That's a nightmare scenario, which author John Scalzi was kind enough to write us a science fiction story to illustrate. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/05/eff-presents-john-scalzi-science-fict… * The Secure Data Act Would Stop Backdoors A new bill introduced in Congress gets encryption right. The bipartisan Secure Data Act would protect companies that make encrypted mobile phones, tablets, desktop and laptop computers, as well as developers of popular software for sending end-to-end encrypted messages, including Signal and WhatsApp, from being forced to alter their products in a way that would weaken the encryption. The bill also forbids the government from seeking a court order that would mandate such alterations. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/05/secure-data-act-would-stop-backdoors * Fourth Circuit Rules That Suspicionless Forensic Searches of Electronic Devices at the Border Are Unconstitutional In a victory for privacy rights at the border, on May 9, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit ruled that forensic searches of electronic devices carried out by border agents without any suspicion that the traveler has committed a crime violate the U.S. Constitution. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/05/fourth-circuit-rules-suspicionless-fo… * Privacy Policy Update We’ve updated our privacy policy to provide more transparency about our privacy practices and more detailed information about how you can access, correct and remove personal data stored with EFF. https://www.eff.org/policy : . : . : . : . : . : . : . : . : . : . : . : . : . : . : Announcements * EFF at WIPO SCCR 36 EFF will be attending the 36th meeting of the Standing Committee on Copyright and Related Rights of WIPO, the World Intellectual Property Organization.

Keep the Momentum Going! Tell the House to Save Net Neutrality Protections
by Katharine Trendacosta | EFF Activism Team 17 May '18

17 May '18

Dear Supporter of Digital Freedom, We did it! The Senate has voted to overturn the FCC's decision to repeal net neutrality protections. But the battle doesn’t end there. We need to tell the House of Representatives to step up like the Senate did. The FCC has announced that its repeal of net neutrality will go into effect on June 11. Net neutrality—the principle that Internet service providers must treat all data on the Internet equally and not block, throttle, or charge extra or access to it—has been vital to the growth of the Internet. The vast majority of Americans support net neutrality as its death only benefits companies like Comcast and AT&T. In less than a month, it will no longer be the law. But, under the Congressional Review Act, Congress can overrule any regulation issued by a government agency with a simple majority. Congress has a limited period of time to act under these rules, which is why the Senate forced a vote and won with a majority of 52 to 47. With that clock still ticking, we need to tell the House of Representatives to vote to restore the Open Internet Order. Please contact your representative by going to this link https://act.eff.org/action/tell-congress-to-reinstate-the-open-internet-ord… and tell them to stand up for real net neutrality.

by Stefan 17 May '18

17 May '18

Hallo zusammen, ab dem 25. Mai 2018 gilt die neue DSGVO Richtline (mehr dazu: https://dsgvo-gesetz.de/) Wir sind heute bereits angefangen, erste notwendige Schritte einzubauen: - Die Website enthält nun unten einen Hinweis, dass wir Cookies speichern - der Nutzer hat die Möglichkeit, der Speicherung zu widersprechen, wodurch viele Funktionen der Website nicht mehr funktionieren. - Alle Formulare wurden mit einer Checkbox ausgestattet, mit der der Datenspeicherung zugestimmt wird - CDN Inhalte liegen direkt auf unserem Server, damit wir keine Seiten außerhalb der EU mehr ansprechen (Ausnahme Google, hier müssen wir das Ganze noch prüfen) - Wordpress, Plugins und alle sonstigen Dinge sind auf den aktuellen Stand gebracht worden. - Die MAP enthält keine Kontaktdaten mehr, da wir hier nicht auf dem Router explizit die Datenschutzrichtlinien abfragen können. Nach und nach werden wir diverese Änderungen noch vornehmen, damit wir auch hierfür gewappnet sind. Wenn von euch noch weitere Fragen sind, gerne direkt einmal mich oder bjo ansprechen, denn wir beiden haben diensticht schon an diversen Schulungen zu dem Thema teilgenommen. Viele Grüße, Stefan

Stop Another Expansion of Copyright: Tell the Senate to Vote No on S. 2823
by Katharine Trendacosta | EFF Activism Team 14 May '18

14 May '18

Dear Supporter of Digital Freedom, Copyright law is already too complicated and frustrating. We need to tell Congress not to make it even more so. The House of Representatives recently passed a bill that combined the Music Modernization Act with the CLASSICS Act. While the Music Modernization Act generally does a good job of helping songwriters get paid for online streaming, the CLASSICS Act simply creates new barriers for lovers of old music. You can learn more here: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/03/music-modernization-act-good-solution… The Senate's version of this combined bill, S. 2823, was recently introduced. S. 2823 would extend some cherry-picked parts of federal copyright to cover sound recordings made between 1923 and 1972, which are currently covered only by a patchwork of state laws. It would force streaming services to get licenses for those recordings, even though all that does is create a new subsidy for rightsholders (which are usually record labels and not artists) and make it harder for music fans to listen to old recordings. In the case of truly old recordings, finding the rightsholder could be so difficult that recordings that hold a mostly historical value would simply disappear from streaming services, unless one wishes to chance an heir showing up out of the woodwork, bringing a claim, and facing massive, unpredictable copyright penalties in court. There is no public benefit to this part of S. 2823, so tell your senators to vote no on it by going here: https://act.eff.org/action/stop-another-expansion-of-copyright-tell-the-sen… Thank you, Katharine Trendacosta Activism Team Electronic Frontier Foundation, 815 Eddy Street, San Francisco, CA 94109 USA EFF appreciates your support and respects your privacy: https://www.eff.org/policy Unsubscribe from all mailings: https://supporters.eff.org/civicrm/mailing/optout?reset=1&jid=59122&qid=841… Change your email preferences: https://supporters.eff.org/update-your-preferences?cid1=2061725&cs=22c4cc28…
