YouTube blocks access to controversial video | EFFector 25.26

In our 621st issue:

YouTube's Censorship of Anti-Islam Video Raises Numerous Questions Around Online Free Expression

In an unusual move, YouTube announced that it was blocking access in some countries to a video showing clips from "The Innocence of Muslims" after the anti-Islamic film sparked violent protests in the area. By the company's own admission, the video falls within its Terms of Service. YouTube appears to have made the decision to self-censor on their own.

It is easy to understand why YouTube might feel compelled to act in response to the rioting over this video, but once YouTube has made the decision to proactively censor its content, they start down a slippery slope that ends in YouTube Knows Best moral policing of every video on their site.

Speak Out Against TPP

Earlier this month, negotiators from the United States and eight other countries held backroom meetings about the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement at a golf resort outside Washington, D.C. Leaked language from the agreement's intellectual property chapter has been worrisome, and the public has no idea what is in the latest official draft. There has been zero transparency in a process that is being pushed to the finish.

What's worse is that the people who do have access to TPP's official language are the same content industry executives that tried pushing through harmful laws like SOPA, PIPA, and ACTA.

Join us in demanding an end to these backroom negotiations.

EFF Updates

Senator Leahy proposed detailed language to update the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA), the primary law governing privacy rights for stored email. ECPA is woefully outdated -- it was passed in 1986 before cloud computing and archived email even existed -- so this is great news. Unfortunately, the proposed language would also weaken privacy-protective measures in the Video Privacy and Protection Act.
Rather than face contempt charges, Twitter handed over data requested by the government about an Occupy Wall Street protester, under seal, to the New York Criminal Court. Twitter was faced with a terrible choice between giving ground on its fight for user privacy, or risk a potentially expensive contempt of court citation.
The House of Representatives voted to renew the dangerous FISA Amendment Act -- which hands the NSA broad, warrantless surveillance powers over Americans' international communications -- for another five years. Sadly, the House refused to add any new oversight powers or privacy protections, despite ample evidence the NSA has used it to unconstitutionally spy on Americans.
The secretive Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement (TPP) negotiations were held earlier this month in a golf resort outside D.C. TPP is yet another example of how the U.S. entertainment industries are pressuring lawmakers to push forward overprotective intellectual property laws that will also put the Internet and its users at risk. EFF attended the events to speak to delegates and demand transparency; however, the U.S. Trade Representative would have none of it.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit upheld the original jury verdict against Jammie Thomas-Rasset: a $222,000 penalty for sharing 24 songs on a peer-to-peer network. That's $9,250 per song, for songs that sell for about a dollar at retail.
The French anti-piracy law, Hadopi, has claimed its first victim. The individual was convicted of allowing his WiFi connection to be used to download songs without obtaining prior permission from the copyright owners. While we were heartened that the individual's Internet connection was not suspended, EFF condemns the ongoing application of Hadopi, which threatens our rights to access and publish content freely online. This ruling serves as further evidence that such three-strikes laws must be repealed.
In a case challenging California's warrentless DNA collection program, EFF asked the court to consider new research that confirms that over 80% of our DNA that was once thought to have no function actually plays a critical role in controlling how our cells, tissues, and organs behave.
EFF interviewed the Executive Director of OpenMedia, Steve Anderson, to discuss their international Stop The Trap coalition campaign.
EFF interviewed Professor Michael Geist to capture some of the main Canadian concerns specifically related to some of the most controversial intellectual property issues present in TPP.
In a submission to the U.K. Parliament's Communications Data Bill Joint Scrutiny Committee, the Global Network Initiative outlined serious concerns with the proposed Snoopers' Charter, which would expand governmental powers to access the online communications of all U.K. citizens.
In the Philippines, where the Internet is free from censorship, President Benigno Aquino III recently signed into law the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012, a troubling development for free expression.

Rand Paul: Ammo ban

Have you heard about the National Association for Gun Rights' FRONTLINE DEFENDERS program?

If you haven't signed up yet, I'm encouraging you to do so right now.

Below is Dudley Brown's letter explaining what FRONTLINE DEFENDERS is all about.

Quite simply, these fine folks are the Second Amendment's first line of defense.

I hope I can count on you to get on board!

For liberty,



The Hon. Rand Paul
U.S. Senator (R-KY)


I’m not willing to lose ANY fight over our gun rights to learn the lesson that Second Amendment supporters need to update our tactics.

But you and I must face facts.

In today’s political environment -- where bills assaulting our most basic liberties aren’t even read, let alone debated before they’re rammed into law with lightning speed -- you and I MUST be ready to fight back against the gun-grabbers’ schemes at a moment’s notice.

In fact, less than TWO DAYS after the recent tragedy in Colorado, gun-grabbers tried to “cash in” by ramming a sweeping ammo ban through the U.S. Senate!

And even with the November elections rapidly approaching, you and I can’t take anything for granted.

Right after the election comes the lame duck session where anything can happen!

That’s why I’m asking you to sign up for the National Association for Gun Rights’ FRONTLINE DEFENDER monthly-contributor program IMMEDIATELY.



With the statists’ schemes moving faster than ever, you and I may not have time to react. This is no accident.

Over the years, pro-freedom groups have proven the ability to mobilize the American people and defeat the statists’ pet bills -- when given time.

But mobilizing tens of millions of Americans across the country against the statists’ schemes using traditional methods can take weeks.

What happens when we don’t have weeks?

Well, we could lose and lose big. And the gun-grabbers know it.

That’s why I started the FRONTLINE DEFENDER program to ensure NAGR would never be caught flat-footed in a knock-down, drag-out fight with the gun-grabbers.

Today, I’m asking you -- if you sincerely value our God-given Right to Keep and Bear Arms -- to please take the extra step to help protect our Second Amendment rights by signing up as a FRONTLINE DEFENDER.



With your automatically-deducted monthly contribution, you can ensure Second Amendment supporters are ready for whatever the gun-grabbers may throw at us.

Even if it’s as little as $10 or $25 per month, your monthly support will mean NAGR can pay for the critical all-out nationwide mobilization efforts it takes to DEFEAT the anti-gun schemes.

Mail. Email. All-out media blitzes including hard-hitting radio, newspaper and TV ads. The whole nine yards.

Even if it’s all “last minute.”

With President Obama “occupying” the White House, this program has never been more important.

After all, not long ago, President Obama told Sarah Brady, “I just want you to know that we are working on [gun control]. We have to go through a few processes, but under the radar.”

So will you and I be ready when President Obama’s next anti-gun assault rears its ugly head?

By signing up as a FRONTLINE DEFENDER, you can ensure we’re ready for anything.



And I have some very nice gifts to rush you should you decide to sign up.

Of course, I haven’t ever offered gifts for any other NAGR program.

But I believe FRONTLINE DEFENDERS are so critical to the survival of our Second Amendment rights, I felt they were important.

To many FRONTLINE DEFENDERS, these gifts are badges of honor.

They should be. Every FRONTLINE DEFENDER is truly the Second Amendment’s first line of defense.

So please sign up with a contribution of just $10 or $25 per month.



Of course, if you can do more, it will be greatly appreciated.

But no matter what amount you can give, please sign up as a FRONTLINE DEFENDER.

There’s literally nothing you can do to make more of an impact for our gun rights than signing up as a FRONTLINE DEFENDER.

So please do so TODAY!

Sincerely,



Dudley Brown
Executive Vice President

P.S. Today’s political fights move with lightning speed -- and I’m afraid, unless you and I update our tactics, this could spell disaster for Second Amendment supporters.

I created the FRONTLINE DEFENDER program to ensure you and I will always be ready for whatever the gun-grabbers throw at us.

Today, I’m asking you to sign up as a FRONTLINE DEFENDER with an automatically-deducted monthly contribution -- even if it’s just $10 or $25 per month.

Please sign up right away. There’s literally nothing you can do to make more of an impact for our gun rights!

History Lesson Of The Month

The Traitorous Benedict Arnold

No one, particularly not Gen. George Washington, doubted Benedict Arnold's skill as a military commander. But Arnold had many faults, among them: he was hotheaded, a glory seeker, brash and haunted by the ever-swirling taint of corruption.

Following his victory at Ticonderoga in 1775, his life became one of humiliation and pain. He wanted to invade Canada, but he was rebuffed and the command was turned over to another officer. He sought reimbursement for the money he had spent on the Ticonderoga excursion, but the Massachusetts Committee of Public Safety passed his request to the Continental Congress. This caused his unpaid soldiers to mutiny. They arrested Arnold and negotiated for themselves with Massachusetts. More »
