** "This class introduces students to the I2P and Tor Darknets. We cover setting up Tor & I2P, the basics of use, and how to make hidden services. We also go over case examples like Eldo Kim Harvard & the Harvard Bomb Threat, Hector Xavier Monsegur (Sabu)/Jeremy Hammond (sup_g) & LulzSec, Freedom Hosting & Eric Eoin Marques and finally Ross William Ulbricht/“Dread Pirate Roberts” of the SilkRoad, to explain how people have been caught and how it could have been avoided.

=Email Problems=
 +
 +
 +
(July 2023: https://nettime.org/Lists-Archives/nettime-l-2307/msg00049.html)
 +
 +
'''existence of "email" (as we know it) is in danger.
 +
'''
 +
 +
for me, email means ability to exchange messages in a decentralised /
 +
federated way, made possible because operators of email servers & email
 +
clients following open standards for protocols & software, that enabled
 +
interoperability. there was resilience through variety of
 +
implementations. plus, the spam-filtering and abuse-handling were done
 +
(more-less successfully) in a participatory, communal, (dare i say)
 +
"multistakolder" ways.
 +
 +
more on that:  https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/ripe-list/2023-May/002877.html
 +
 +
 +
nowadays, there are many adversaries to this (idyllic?) situation:
 +
 +
* "market forces" of centralisation & monopolisation have resulted in ~90% of all email being read (!) by (clients written by) 3 big players (GAM) , and for providers it's G&M that rule 66% of that market:
 +
 +
https://mailchimp.com/en/resources/most-used-email-service-providers/
 +
 +
https://blog.apnic.net/2023/04/05/who-reads-your-email/
 +
 +
* smaller hosters & email providers are struggling to maintain their servers...
 +
** ... because google is breaking the "open standards"  https://github.com/google/gmail-oauth2-tools/issues/18
 +
** ... and can get away with it, because of their monopoly position
 +
 +
and
 +
 +
* gMail can reject email being sent / received from small hosters, based  on "reputation" / rate limiting / whatever http://www.igregious.com/2023/03/gmail-is-breaking-email.html
 +
** ... thus making it even harder to compete with it!
 +
** UPDATE: https://blog.google/products/gmail/gmail-security-authentication-spam-protection/
 +
* M$ too: https://tuta.com/blog/outlook-falsely-marks-tutanota-emails-as-junk
 +
 +
 +
and
 +
 +
* there is lack of skills for hosting own mail servers, because "everyone" is outsourcing it to (GAM)...
 +
 +
and
 +
 +
* (much more)

==Centralisation==

Geoff Huston on Centralisation: https://labs.ripe.net/author/gih/on-internet-centrality-and-fragmentation/
 +
 +
* By relying on Google to run (part of) our email services, we are be moving away from "open, inclusive, collaborative Internet model", since Google is one of the monopolies that is threatening the original model – as described in these articles:

We also go over case examples like Eldo Kim Harvard & the Harvard Bomb Threat, Hector Xavier Monsegur (Sabu)/Jeremy Hammond (sup_g) & LulzSec, Freedom Hosting & Eric Eoin Marques and finally Ross William Ulbricht/“Dread Pirate Roberts” of the SilkRoad, to explain how people have been caught and how it could have been avoided.

Email Problems

(July 2023: https://nettime.org/Lists-Archives/nettime-l-2307/msg00049.html)

existence of "email" (as we know it) is in danger.

for me, email means ability to exchange messages in a decentralised / federated way, made possible because operators of email servers & email clients following open standards for protocols & software, that enabled interoperability. there was resilience through variety of implementations. plus, the spam-filtering and abuse-handling were done (more-less successfully) in a participatory, communal, (dare i say) "multistakolder" ways.

more on that: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/ripe-list/2023-May/002877.html


nowadays, there are many adversaries to this (idyllic?) situation:

  • "market forces" of centralisation & monopolisation have resulted in ~90% of all email being read (!) by (clients written by) 3 big players (GAM) , and for providers it's G&M that rule 66% of that market:

https://mailchimp.com/en/resources/most-used-email-service-providers/

https://blog.apnic.net/2023/04/05/who-reads-your-email/

and


and

  • there is lack of skills for hosting own mail servers, because "everyone" is outsourcing it to (GAM)...

and

  • (much more)


Solutions:


  • resist!
  • return to self-hosting

&

  • repair interoperability with new federated protocols (Activity Pub &

email should talk to each other)

Examples

Censorship

https://twitter.com/doctorow/status/1539266244259549185?s=20&t=bQpnWif7BbfrcgOeG30xIw

  • The internet is both the cause and effect of geopolitics (Douzet, 2014).
○ China’s “Great Bottleneck” (Zhu et al., 2020)
○ Iran’s selective international censorship (Salmation et al., 2021)
○ Eastern Ukraine’s dependency on Russia (Limonier et al., 2021)


Surveillance

  • Google email practices are: to not implement standards; to compromise privacy of users in order to sell ads; and they spy on their users & share information with governments (see: Snowden)

About privacy: here is a video from NLUUG in November 2021, a talk Sjoera Nas did (in Dutch) https://youtu.be/8GiK9xyrvWY  : "It's the metadata, $#u&!*! Privacy versus the big cloud providers"

Abstract: https://nluug.nl/activiteiten/events/nj21/abstracts/ab00.html
