U.S. ranks fourth in Internet freedom as surveillance grows worldwide
- 04 October, 2013 18:01
- Comments
Internet freedom has declined in the United States over the past year as a result of its surveillance policies, reflecting a trend that appears to have caught on worldwide, according to a recently released study.
The study [PDF], conducted by Freedom House, gauged Internet freedom in 60 countries by tracking obstacles to access information online, limits on content, and violations of user rights. Among the issues cited in the report are government agencies' outright blocking of specific Internet content, surveillance measures, and legal and violent repercussions taken against those who use the Internet to criticize governing or religious bodies.
Iceland was the top-ranking nation on the list, which may not come as a surprise considering its recent role as a safe-haven for controversial Internet whistleblowers. Edward Snowden, for example, has recently expressed a desire for refuge in the country.
Estonia was the second-ranked country on the list, followed by Germany and the U.S., both of which received a score of 17 on Freedom House's scale of 1-to-100, which assigned points for higher rates of violations of Internet freedom. Australia, France, Japan, Hungary, Italy and the UK round out the top 10.
Despite its relatively high ranking, the U.S. showed a significant decline in overall Internet freedom as a result of the revelations of its surveillance capabilities and their impact on the global Internet, Freedom House explained.
RELATED:The NSA quiz
"While there is no evidence that the NSA surveillance programs were abused to suppress political speech, they have drawn strong condemnations at home and abroad for their wide-reaching infringements on privacy," the report says. "Since many large technology companies -- with millions of users around the world -- are based in the United States, the NSA was able to collect information on foreigners without having to go through the legal channels of the countries in which the targeted users were located."
However prevalent this trend may be in the U.S., it is also a sign of a much broader movement among international governments of all kinds. In 35 out of the 60 countries examined, Freedom House marked increases in the sophistication of communications monitoring technology, the scope of the people monitored, and the enactment of laws enabling the government to spy on its citizens.
Russia, for example, has increased its surveillance capabilities significantly since the Arab Spring began in late 2010, going as far as legalizing the government's wiretapping of opposing political parties, the report says.
The report also included the caveat that the problem is likely more common than its research reflects.
"There is a strong suspicion that many of the remaining 25 countries' governments have also stepped up their surveillance activities, though some may be better than others at covering their tracks," the report says.
India showed the largest decline in Internet freedom since last year's report, as a result of "deliberate interruptions of mobile and Internet service to limit unrest, excessive blocks on content during rioting in northeastern states, and an uptick in the filing of criminal charges against ordinary users for posts on social-media sites," the report says. Brazil also showed a steep decline, largely due to issues involving its election and the suspicious deaths of several controversial political journalists and bloggers.
Overall, Iran, China and Cuba were deemed the most restrictive countries in the world when it comes to Internet access.
At the same time, the report also showed an increase in Internet freedom in 16 countries. Morocco and Burma both made strong efforts at dissolving their long-standing censorship policies, while Tunisia began embracing a more open Internet and media culture as it moves on from the now-defunct regime of its former president Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali.Concerns over the U.S. government's reach into the products of its private tech industry may compound the global surveillance issues as several major U.S. companies embark on far-reaching initiatives to expand Internet access worldwide. Internet.org, for example, has cited the Facebook for Every Phone mobile app among its outline for expanding Internet access.
Facebook is the driving force behind Internet.org, and has been accused of providing the NSA access to its users' personal information.

Civil Rights victim's father passes before 50th anniv. commemoration event
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WIAT) - As the nation prepares to commemorate the children killed in Birmingham on September 15th, 1963 one of the families touched by tragedy that day- is again in mourning.
The father of 13-year-old Virgil Ware will not get the chance to be part of the commemoration. James Ware Sr. died last week after an illness.
Virgil Ware was 13 when he was shot and killed while riding on the handlebars of a bicycle his brother James was peddling. It happened the same day that Addie Mae Collins, Carole Robertson, Denise McNair and Cynthia Wesley were killed in the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing, and the same day that 16-year-old Johnny Robinson was shot and killed
Melvin Ware says he and his younger brother Virgil shared everything, even a birthday.
"Coming up he, he was greatly missed," said Ware. "You know all the controversy and all the light is on the 4 little girls, but we're so glad that...that people are now considering Virgil because he was, he's the, he's the last one on that day to get killed, by the same way, by the same people, and for the same reason."
Even though their family suffered the ultimate loss, the loss of a child, and in such senseless manner- they say their father wasn't bitter or hate filled and told them not to be either.
"He wouldn't want us to throw stone for stone you know to be angry and he always told us to let the Lord take care of it," said Ware.
According to the family, 90-year-old James Ware Sr. succumbed to an illness on September 5th just shy of the 50th anniversary of September 15th, 1963.
Melvin Ware says it hurt their family that it took years before their sacrifice was recognized, but they can take comfort that his father lived to see the world take note.
"About three weeks ago at the art gallery downtown and they gave Virgil an award for outstanding citizen from 2009 to 2013 that was the highest award that you can get from the state," said Ware.
"From one standpoint it was a senseless, none make sense out of it murder and on the other part it's...we look at the outcome of it and you know it was a great outcome because it stood for something. Stand by, by freedom."
The family says the funeral for James Ware Sr. is planned for Wednesday at 11 a.m. at Saint Luke Missionary Baptist Church in Pratt City. He will be buried at Carver Cemetery.

Ryanair shares fall 15 per cent over rare profits warning, airline cites weak autumn demand
The Associated Press 0
DUBLIN – Shares in Ryanair have suffered their biggest drop in four years after the budget airline issued a rare profit warning over weaker-than-expected autumn ticket sales.
Ryanair chief executive Michael O'Leary says the airline, which typically exceeds its profit forecasts, now expects to fall short of its previous outlook.
The company's shares fell nearly 15 per cent to 5.78 euros ($7.62), a five-month low and their biggest drop since October 2009.
O'Leary told a conference call Wednesday that Ryanair now could struggle to reach its original lower-end sales target of 570 million euros ($751 million) for the fiscal year ending in March. He says sales are unexpectedly weak for the September-November period amid stronger competition in key British, Spanish and Scandinavian markets.
Ryanair last issued a profits warning in 2004.

Classy players deserve kudos
In a time when we see athletes acting disgracefully, I want to thank Javon Walker and Al Harris for their classy behavior.

In a time when we see professional athletes acting in a disgraceful manner, I want to thank and acknowledge two players for their classy behavior.
Too often, good guys don't get publicity, and WR Javon Walker and CB Al Harris of the Green Bay Packers deserve some.
We on ESPN's Sunday Night Football crew were scheduled for a production meeting late Friday night to prepare for Sunday's game between the Packers and Houston Texans (the Packers won 16-13).
We were supposed to sit down on Friday with Green Bay coach Mike Sherman and some players. Both Walker and Harris had other commitments, but both went out of their way to call me so I could complete an interview with them.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Mental health issues have surfaced with mass shooters in past years. Although none were diagnosed with a disorder, each received some sort of counseling for their behavior.
According to the National Institute of Mental Health, half of all lifetime cases of mental illness begin by age 14 and three quarters start by age 24.
Adam Lanza was 20 years old. James Holmes, the accused shooter in the Colorado Theatre Shootings, is 24. The Virginia Tech shooter was 23 and the two high school seniors responsible for the mass shootings at Columbine in 1999 were 17 and 18 years old.
Here are some of the top questions regarding mental illness on the First Coast:
Q: What are the symptoms or signs of mental illness?
A: According to Dr. Ellen Williams, Director of Behavioral Health at Baptist Medical Center, you can look for those who are withdrawn. "People who are disconnected from their peers or their family who don't know how to communicate with others who are not functioning in a way that's normal, like going to school or work on a regular basis those are some of the signs you want to look for." She says another sign is obsessing over strange things or exhibiting odd behavior.
Q: How do I tell a loved one to seek help? A: "Sometimes if you turn it around and say, 'You know, I'm having some trouble with something, or the family is having trouble,'" explains Williams. She says that method is especially effective with children or teens. "You can say, 'We're going to go as a family to get help.' Sometimes that takes the focus off the child so they don't feel like the identified person with the problem," she says.
Q: Where do I go for help? A: Williams says if you have insurance, you can go to any private provider that accepts your insurance. However, she says it can be a challenge to figure out where to go for help if you don't have insurance. "There are health centers set up for them to get access but they often have a waiting list," she says. "For instance, one caller said her son, who's 26 years old, did have an appointment and did have someone who prescribed medication, but then they couldn't get a follow up appointment so he ran out of his medication, ended up acting out and ended up in jail."
For children and families Williams suggests community mental health centers such as:
Child Guidance Center:
Southside Office: 5776 St. Augustine Road Jacksonville, FL 32207 (904) 448-4700
Westside Office: 4595 Lexington Avenue Jacksonville, FL 32210 (904) 448-4700

Trends in Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 2, 1 February 2001, Pages 49-52
Penny X Gilbert and Claire Walter
AbstractThe development and application of genomics is set to revolutionize the life sciences. Commercial exploitation of this research will allow the development of novel therapies and diagnostic assays. However, some argue that a 'gold rush' is underway and conflicts have already arisen over the question of filing patents and sharing data. In this article we consider some of the issues that relate to patenting genomic inventions.

Intellectual property protection of plant biotechnology inventions
Trends in Biotechnology, Volume 20, Issue 11, 1 November 2002, Pages 456-461
Konrad A. Sechley and Hans Schroeder
AbstractThe intellectual property protection of biotechnology-related subject matter is undergoing significant change and several countries have revised their legislation and/or patent practice as a result of challenges from industry and members of the public. Plant-related subject matter can be protected using plant variety protection, utility patents or, in the USA, by plant patent. Although easier to obtain than a utility patent, plant variety protection does not provide the same scope of protection. Protecting a plant using a utility patent is permitted only in countries that allow the patenting of higher life forms and requires a higher degree of experimental support than is required for plant variety protection, although the scope of protection is being steadily reduced.

Tony Maschio and Tom Kowalski
AbstractThe use of bioinformatics in the biological sciences has brought about a change in the way that biological inventions can be protected by patent laws. Using approaches developed in the fields of computer science and business, patent applicants now seek to protect certain aspects of their inventions, which include software, methods of doing business and uses of information as well as more traditional biotechnological products and processes. These approaches are useful in resolving some of the difficulties now faced in prosecuting patent applications directed to biological inventions that are claimed in more conventional terms.

With only ∼35 000 genes deduced from the draft sequence of the human genome, there are fears that a few companies have already gained monopoly on the potential benefits from this knowledge. Nevertheless, it is accepted that proteins determine gene function and function is not readily predicted from gene sequence. Furthermore, genes can encode multiple proteins and a single protein can have multiple functions. Here, we argue that unraveling the intrinsic complexity of proteins and their functions is the key towards determining the utility requirement for patenting protein inventions and consider the possible socioeconomic impact.
