Switzerland - Bundespolizei bekämpft Rassismus im Internet
(Neue Z[florin]rcher Zeitung 16.10.1998) Die Bundespolizei hat Schweizer Internet-Service-Anbieter aufgefordert, rassistische Internetseiten im Ausland dem Zugriff ihrer Kunden zu entziehen.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has secured a temporary restraining order and an asset freeze against WARPnet Holdings, which portrays itself as a provider of Internet technology. The SEC alleged that WARPnet defrauded investors by selling stakes in the company and falsely claiming it had business agreements with bodies such as the Rolling Stones and the Mormon Church.

Bezirksregierung Düsseldorf ordnet sofortige Sperrung von Nazi-Websites an. (Heise)
Die Düsseldorfer Bezirksregierung hat im juristischen Tauziehen um Website-Sperrungen nochmals nachgelegt. Erst Ende Juli hatte sie die Widersprüche von 38 Providern gegen ihre Sperrungsverfügung vom Februar zurückgewiesen. Daraufhin klagte rund ein Dutzend der betroffenen Unternehmen gegen die Verfügung. Nun hat die Behörde den sofortigen Vollzug der Sperrverfügung angeordnet und damit die aufschiebende Wirkung der laufenden Klagen ausgehebelt. Die Provider müssen die Sperrung nun umgehend umsetzen, sofern sie nicht vor Gericht einen Antrag auf Aussetzung des sofortigen Vollzugs stellen. [Quick Links]

Dabei wurde die Rechtm...§igkeit der Sperrungsverf[florin]gungen bestritten.
"Unser Ansatz war, der populistischen Argumentationsweise von Herrn B[florin]ssow eine der Komplexit...t entsprechende Argumentation entgegenzustellen", erl...uterte CCC-Sprecher Andy M[florin]ller-Maguhn. Die Bezirksregierung veranstaltet am Dienstag in D[florin]sseldorf einen eigenen Kongress zum Thema "Hass und Gewalt im Internet". Da der CCC dort seine eigene Position nicht ausreichend vertreten sah, setzten die Hacker kurzfristig eine eigene Veranstaltung an, an der zirka 50 G...ste teilnahmen.

(CNet News.com) What is it with state attorneys general trying to stamp out Internet vice around election time? This year, attorneys general for Pennsylvania and Michigan, gubernatorial hopefuls both, are testing the same underhanded tactic. In moves that are simultaneously constitutionally dubious and coldly calculating, they're betting they can win votes by spreading fear, uncertainty and doubt. The Pennsylvania Attorney General is behind in the polls by about 7 percent. He asked the judge to order that WorldCom block access to all of Terra.es, Spain's largest Internet portal. Requiring an Internet provider to block all of Terra.es makes as much sense as blocking all of Yahoo because of one illegal Geocities page--or, perhaps more to the point, torching a library to prevent patrons from reading one particular book.

Gov. Gray Davis signed bills that ban unwanted faxed advertisements and unsolicited text messages on cell phones. With his signature, Davis eliminated California's law against sending unsolicited faxes to allow a stronger federal law to take effect. The federal law requires that companies sending unsolicited faxes for advertising get permission before faxing those ads. The state law struck down required that unsolicited advertisements sent over fax machines have a toll-free number so fax owners could be removed from the phone lists. The other two bills signed prohibit businesses from sending advertisements through text messaging on cellular phones or pagers and make minor changes to the state's do-not-call list for telemarketers.

Norwegian-based Fast Search and Transfer, a relatively new talent among search engines, is under fire from privacy advocates who say it's violating its country's laws by collecting data on visitors and sharing the information with third parties. In a complaint filed this week with the Norwegian government, Public Information Research (PIR) charged the search provider's showcase site, AlltheWeb, with failing to notify visitors that it uses tiny electronic tags to monitor search queries in partnership with online portal Lycos and DoubleClick, an advertising technology company. The privacy watchdog said that the practice breaches Norwegian laws requiring companies to disclose if personal data about consumers is shared with third parties. [Quick Links]

Police have accused the Home Office of not providing enough resources to allow them to arrest hundreds of probable child abusers. The Observer has learnt that the email addresses and credit card details of more than 7,000 British-based users of illegal child porn have been uncovered by American investigators. But their British counterparts complain they are unable to act on the information because of a chronic lack of resources. More than one year after the information was received, there have been only 80 arrests in Britain. [Quick Links]

Remember last March when Scientology got Google to remove many pages from their search results? Of course you do (infoAnarchy: DMCA Used To Remove Scientology Critics From Google). Some of the pages were restored because of Scientology's overreaching ... and you are now notified if a result is removed because of a cease and desist order, which you can read for yourself on Chilling Effects (infoAnarchy: Google Does the Right Thing (Finally)). Well, Scientology is up to it again, this time going after the Internet Archive and I don't think the Archive is doing a good job defending itself.

The EU is very active in supporting Open Source development by providing financial aids to European projects of interest, like OpenEvidence that was approved to be realized by a consortium of technology providers and users from 4 countries: Belgium, France, Italy and Estonia. In this contest C&A is very proud to announce its OpenEvidence participation, integrating its Time Stamping technology, to this 'evidence creation and validation system' of electronic documents and activities. The technology developed by the project can be used as basic building blocks to support such services as non-repudiation of electronic business transactions, property right protection and notarisation. Implementations and demonstration services using the protocols defined in RFC 3029 (DVCS) and RFC 3161 (TSP) will be provided as initial activity. A version of time stamping service can be also be tested on the C&A web site. To learn more about OpenEvidence: http://www.com-and.com/openevidence.html [infoAnarchy]
