Topic 12 of 40: Privacy on the net

Tue, Nov 26, 1996 (12:08) | Paul Terry Walhus (terry)
from Walter Mossberg's Wall
Street Journal column carried an article "Threats to
Privacy On-Line Become More Worrisome." (10/24/96,
page B-1).

"...the Internet threatens to have such a profound
effect on privacy that this may be one of the rare
areas where new protective laws and regulations will
be appropriate.... They would have to carefully carve
out a middle ground between preserving exciting new
business opportunities and the legitimate needs of
research and investigators, on the one hand, and the
right to privacy on the other."

COMMERCE DEPARTMENT BEGINS PUBLIC MEETINGS ON INTERNET PRIVACY

The Department of Commerce (DOC) will hold a two day public meeting on
Internet Privacy today and Wednesday-- June 23 and 24. CDT will be
participating in the event along with other consumer and privacy advocates.
Your input is vital to this discussion. The agenda for the event can be
found at the DOC privacy page:
http://www.ntia.doc.gov/ntiahome/privacy/

The event will also be cybercast live.

You can let your voice be heard by sending comments on the Department of
Commerce's plans from CDT's comment page:
http://www.cdt.org/privacy/survey

Recent statements from the DOC indicate that the Administration does not
view the July 1, 1998 deadline, set by their Framework for Electronic
Commerce paper, as a cut-off for assessing the success of industry
self-regulatory activities to protect privacy. Yet, while self-regulation
should be a piece of privacy protections, the recent Federal Trade
Commission report to Congress (see CDT Policy Post 4.14 for more
information) demonstrates overwhelming evidence of the failure of private
sector action alone to provide even basic safeguards.

CDT believes that the conference this week should serve as the jumping-off
point for the White House's effort to develop a coherent national policy on
privacy. It is critical that the Administration work with Congress,
privacy and consumer advocates, and members of the business community
committed to providing privacy protections for their customers, to craft a
framework for privacy protection. Towards this end CDT urges the
Administration to work with Congress, the advocacy community, and all
relevant stake holders to:

* develop specific proposals to protect individual privacy through
self-regulation, legislation and public education;
* develop appropriate policy to protect children's privacy;
* explore the role of technology in protecting privacy and methods by which
the government can promote the development of privacy-enhancing
technologies; and,
* craft the outline of a privacy infrastructure including the creation of a
federal entity to develop privacy policy in both the public and private
sectors.

It is time to develop the proposals and the strategy to move a national
privacy policy forward.

(1) SENATE ATTACHES INTERNET CENSORSHIP LANGUAGE TO APPROPRIATIONS BILL

Yesterday, the Senate moved one step closer to passing legislation which
jeopardizes free speech and access to information on the Internet. Two
measures, which were attached to a spending bill for the Commerce, State,
and Justice departments after a voice vote, are based on two previously
introduced bills: The Communications Decency Act (CDA) II (introduced by
Senator Coats) and the Internet School Filtering Act (introduced by
Senator
McCain). Both are misguided efforts which will have a chilling effect on
constitutionally-protected speech. Not only are they likely to be found
unconstitutional, but they will certainly be ineffective at protecting
children. Nevertheless, Congress is using these bills to posture, once
again, on the issue of pornography on the Internet.

CDT believes that a far better, more effective and more constitutional
approach would be for Congress to lend its support to the effort to
encourage parents to take responsibility for their children's Internet
usage, and to encourage the development of tools which can help parents.
Such a step has already been taken in a letter written by Senator
Lieberman
and Representative White
.
The Lieberman/White letter calls on Internet industry leaders to redouble
their efforts to provide parents the tools and advice needed to guide
their
children's use of the Net. This letter was sent to the leaders of the
Internet community who attended the Kids Online Summit in December which
followed a July 1997 meeting with the White House.

America saw what happened to the original CDA after being past by the
last
Congress -- the Supreme Court unanimously overturned it and told Congress
in no uncertain terms that the Internet was entitled to "the highest
protection from governmental intrusion." But with this Congress nearing
its
end, legislators is poised to make the same mistake all over again.

_____________________________________________________________________________

(2) BACKGROUND ANALYSIS

CDT believes the language taken from McCain bill and the Coats bill are
unconstitutional because they both attempt to impose a single national
standard controlling what everyone online can see, think and say.

The McCain bill (Internet School Filtering Act - S. 1619) would force
schools and libraries with federally-subsidized Internet access to use
software filters. Such a federal mandate likely violates the First
Amendment because it places an unconstitutional condition upon receipt of
federal funds. Although the Supreme Court has permitted some limited
restrictions on federally funded speech (Rust v. Sullivan), the First
Amendment forbids government from fashioning broad speech prohibitions by
withholding federal funds.

The Coats bill (CDA II - S.1482) appears to cover a more narrow range of
speech than its predecessor, but still suffers from fundamental
constitutional infirmities which will surely lead to yet another round of
litigation. Moreover, both CDA I & II are ultimately ineffective at
addressing a very real problem: the availability of inappropriate
material
online to children.

In 1973 (in Miller v. California), the Supreme Court made 'contemporary
community standards' the law of the land on the regulation of obscenity
and
material that is harmful to minors. Indeed, in Ginsberg v. New York,
where
the Court upheld restrictions on the sale of material harmful to minors,
the Court explicitly noted that the definition of such material was based
on "prevailing standards in the adult community." But the McCain and
Coats
bills ignore--as the CDA ignored--the diversity of moral principles that
hold sway in communities across the nation--and among the thousands of
communities that exist on the Internet. Both bills also ignore the right
of
parents to teach their children responsibility and judgment as they see
fit.

It IS possible to find ways to protect children online without
sacrificing
the free speech values of the First Amendment. Nonprofit organizations
and
Internet industry members have been working for many months on solutions
that will help keep children safe on the Internet. For information on a
series of initiatives developed in the aftermath of a major summit
meeting
in early December for the entire Internet community -- including
Internet/online service providers, online publishers, software companies,
librarians, educators, children's advocates and civil libertarians -- see
http://www.kidsonline.org . Congress simply shouldn't make a rush to
legislative judgment until it has heard from all of these people.

Protecting Your Kids From Inappropriate On-Line Material

The Internet is an invaluable educational tool, but for parents, it can
also be a nightmare. Here are some tips for keeping your kids away from
sexually explicit websites and other questionable on-line content.

- Drape your computer in terrifying slaughterhouse entrails to make it
unappealing to youngsters.

- Go to the favorites file in your web browser. Retitle "Goat Porn" folder
"Financial."

- Young boys are understandably curious about Internet porn -- but not if
you patiently explain to them that women's vaginas have razor-sharp teeth
that can bite off a child's hand.

- Tape pages of The Bible securely over your child's eyes, ears and mouth,
then double their daily butterchurn chore-hours.

- Periodically check your family computer's log-on history for any
pornographic sites not visited by yourself.

- Make sure your child does not use the Internet after 9 p.m.

- Do not allow your kids to become desensitized to violence. Beat them
harder each day.

- Glue storybook pictures to your computer's monitor. Tell your child this
is the Internet.

- Ask yourself why, if you can't exercise even a moderate degree of control
over your children, you bothered to have kids in the first place.

- Write letter asking website "Cock-Craving Asian Nympho-Teen Cum Sluts" to
tone it down a bit.

- Replace your children with responsible adults.

- Provide your child with a detailed list of every website he or she is not
to visit.

- Force your child to look at pornography for many hours straight until
child begs, "No more!"

Welcome to another weekly edition of Nua Internet Surveys. This
newsletter provides information on surveys and reports on the Internet, and is
brought to you by Nua - one of Europe's leading Internet consultancies and
developers.

Last week I discussed the concepts of filtering and blocking software, and
in response to issues raised, I received considerable feedback. In light of
this, I feel I should clarify some of the points made. Firstly, I am not
advocating that children have unfettered access to all material online.
Neither am I endorsing the propagation of pornography online under the guise
of information freedom. I am not saying that parents should not bother to opt
for filters.

Avoiding words like mutton and lamb, I was pointing out that societies should
think twice about farming out what has traditionally been the domain of
individuals/family to governments.

I am not interested in "big brother" scaremongering, I am interested in
realising the right and more importantly the responsibility of the individual
to choose what is moral and what is immoral. Relinquishing decisions like,
"what is ok for my children to see" to governments who, in the interests of
representing all concerned parties, will have to draw up legislation which
accommodates *everyone's* concerns, will diminish the experience and destroy
the ethos of the Internet.

I am not interested in "big brother" scaremongering, I am interested in
realising the right and more importantly the responsibility of the individual
to choose what is moral and what is immoral. Relinquishing to the governments
such decisions as "what is ok for my children to see", could result in
the drafting of legislation which accommodates *everyone's* concerns, thus
diminishes the experience and destroys the ethos of the Internet.

An analogy can be drawn, albeit a frivolous one, to the Christmas Episode of
the controversial *South Park* show, when the South Park mayor passes an
ordinance to ban Christmas, because some residents of the community are
offended by the Nativity, christmas lights, mistletoe or the consumption of
turkeys.

Marcia Fairweather from the US wrote to say that, 'the suggestion that the
government has no business being involved is foolish. The following point is
patently asinine - "Who should monitor childrens' and public libraries'
[adults] Internet activities...?". First, these are PUBLIC institutions, they
are funded by taxpayer dollars and are therefore subject to government
oversight if not outright dictate. The taxpayers of THIS country have made a
compact with our elected officials, we provide financial support and then
elect individuals to promote and act for the public good.'

Yes, this is how it's supposed to work, ideally. However, the Internet was
created on the crest of a liberal wave and essentially belongs to the private
sector. Perhaps now that it is increasingly publicly accessible, people feel
the need to implement the rules of the wider society. However, I don't agree
that a medium which is championed for its abundance of information and its
accommodation of all opinions, including minority and dissident, should allow
itself become a puppet in the hands of mainstream politics.

Furthermore, I think it is patently clear that governments, and the U.S.
government in particular would rather avoid Internet regulation. They have
repeatedly pointed to the need for the private sector to agree on protocols
and implement them. This has been their stance on privacy, censorship and
domain registration.

In the case of the Internet School Filtering Act, I think there is a case for
double indemnity.

As I understand it the proposed Bill will make it mandatory for those schools
and public libraries applying for financial assistance to install filters on
their government sponsored computers. I am assuming that the majority of
schools and libraries applying for government grants are in need of financial
assistance and are thus located in economically challenged areas. I am
assuming that the people they service are relatively disadvantaged to begin
with and do not have the resources to buy their own PCs, not to mention
purchase the latest software for optimum Internet usage.

The use of blocking software is likely to deprive already disadvantaged
children, teenagers and adults of accessing information that under the US
constitution they have a right to access.

To what extent will a piece of software be able to distinguish the
reference to an image of the naked breast of a woman simulating masturbation
and the reference to an image of a woman demonstrating how to locate breast
cancer? Are filtering tools really that clever?

Meanwhile schools who can afford to buy their own technology and pay for their
own Internet access have the choice of whether they want to use filters or
not. Paradoxically, these are the schools whose pupils belong to communities
with a high percentage of household PC ownership in the US.

If we want to live in the information age, and if we want our kids to benefit
from a society where information is freely accessible, we will have to start
thinking about educating our children (as well as their parents) on how to
deal with opinions, peoples, cultures, attitudes, politics, religions and
philosophies that are different and possibly offensive to our own.

We will have to allow people time to learn how to manage information and that
means allowing them make personal choices based on their own needs. A culture
of denial will do little to foster understanding or tolerance in a global
economy nor will it stop people creating and consuming "harmful" material.

means allowing them make personal choices based on their own needs. A culture
of denial will do little to foster understanding or tolerance in a global
economy, nor will it stop people creating and consuming "harmful" material.

If parents are relying on filtering and blocking software to keep their kids
from seeking out information that is potentially harmful to them, then
fundamental parenting questions need to be addressed.

I'm not saying that a parent whose kid is addicted to hardcore pornography
is a bad parent. I'm saying that rather than putting blinkers on, the
parent/teacher might be better off asking why the child is attracted to this
kind of material and subsequently take the time to explain to the
child/teenager the social consequences of downloading such "unsavoury"
material.

Is mise le meas,
Sorcha Ni hEilidhe.

Javascript Security Gap Afflicts Netscape

According to Usenet posts, a Sunnyvale consultant has created a
30-line Javascript program that retrieves the content of the victim's
cache. This could include sites visited and data exchanged, though
probably not encrypted credit card numbers. All versions of Netscape's
browser up through the latest 4.5 release are vulnerable to the hack,
though Microsoft's IE is not. The script also works when read into
Netscape's E-mail client.

In a related article, the October Scientific American has a special
section on computer security. It includes brief articles on firewalls,
digital certificates, Internet cryptography, and the Java sandbox.
The Java article also describes the circumstance under which a Java
applet can run outside the sandbox based on a "trusted source" model
like ActiveX.

11. Top ten reactions to the Worm virus

It starts with a "Hi (recipient name)," as most things do.
Then it rips apart your files. Obviously the fine readers of
CNET don't blindly open suspicious email, but most others
can't stop doing that. Here's a taste of what that sorry lot
had to say about the Worm virus:

1 "Now a worm is a virus?! I'll never understand computers..."
2. "Hackers never say 'Hi.'"
3. "I immediately threw my computer into a vat of acid."
4. "Why didn't my doctor warn me about this?"
5. "I was trying to hit delete, but I double-clicked on the
document."
6. "I still can't believe dear Mollie Henderson is one of
those hackers."
7. "To whoever has my fish recipes: 'a handful of hair ripped
from your fat husband' does not really belong in pickled
herring."
8. "Bog Waller Bi-Monthy has a circulation of five. Lot of
trouble to destroy that..."
9. "Do I have to throw away my computer?"
10. "This sort of thing should be illegal."
