Here's a good example of problems with gatekeepers that are too powerful, in this case Microsoft:

While Wireguard and Veracrypt developers will probably regain access soon, being dependent on an operating system created by a U.S.-based megacorporation carries with itself considerable risks, including geopolitical ones.

@digitaalinenitsenaisyys lisäksi näitä potentiaalisia kill switchejä on paitsi pilvissä, myös käyttöjärjestelmissä. Jos käytät esimerkiksi Googleen kytkettyä Androidia, Applen laitteita tai Microsoft Windowsia, laitteesi halvaannuttaminen tai peräti haltuunotto on yhden softapäivityksen päästä. Tämä voi ehkä kuulostaa utopialta, mutta jos itse olisin Trump, käyttäisin itse näitä menetelmiä esim. Tanskaa vastaan Grönlannin valtausoperaation yhteydessä.

🌎 Globally, democracy has regressed to the level it was at in 1978, during the Cold War. Just 7% of the world's population lives in liberal democracies. The US has been downgraded from a liberal democracy to an electoral democracy.

These are some of the findings of the annual V-DEM Democracy Report

New study shows global democracy hasn’t been this bad since 1978. Australia should be worried

A new report assessing democratic values across more than 200 countries has found 6 billion people live in autocracies. Here’s where Australia sits.

@harald @apz en ihmettelisi, jos kyseessä olisi sama järjestelmä kun matkahuollolla vähän eri brändäyksellä.

Tämä ulkomaisista (jenkkien) teknologiayrityksistä irtautuminen alkaa olla jokseenkin tärkeä tavoite Suomelle. Riippuvuutta on rakennettu pari vuosikymmentä eikä irtautuminen tule olemaan helppoa tai nopeaa. Siksi töihin pitää ryhtyä jo eilen ja keskittyä kriittisiin riippuvuuksiin valtio-, organisaatio- ja yksilötasolla.

For an European perspective the U.S. Cyber Strategy document just reinforces what we already knew: we need to decouple ourselves from U.S. technology, especially in critical areas. The Trump administration has already been using sanctions against foreign undesirables (like the ICC) as a way to abruptly cut them off from their U.S.-based Cloud services. The new document just outlines more direct ways for the U.S. to attack its new perceived enemies: democratic nations around the world.

The document also describes how kinetic military action will be a part of the toolkit for countering cyber threats. Based on past performance of the Trump administration they can conjure such cyber threats out of thin air if necessary. Additionally the U.S. will use offensive cyber attacks againsts its adversaries, whether real or imagined.
