[US] Anonymous #OpBigBrother 02/23/2013 #IDP13 International Day for Privacy Citizens of the world, we are Anonymous Since we invited you to show our fellow citizens that our privacy matters, you made several times #OpBigBrother's voice surround in many countries and paperstormed efficiently to inform people about the threats of surveillance systems on our fundamental Rights. We know all of you participating, found the good way to make information flow. Thanks to all for your hard work in the preparation of those days of action. You proved that most of the people didn't know anything about the future surveillance society that is being drawn with projects like INDECT or Trapwire because media stay silent on those matters. Most of the time, we know that information on all those projects are hidden, or, when they are publicly available, all is done to make the people unable to understand without deep investigation on documents related. All that shows only a will to prevent people from understanding the true consequences of such things on their lives. We, as Anonymous hacktivists, engaged #OpBigBrother because we want every citizen on the planet to know that the surveillance state is unecessary to our security as citizens. We would also like to make the people understand, that systematisation of technological surveillance and control on everything is dangerous for the safety of Human Rights. We continue to believe that technology has to serve humanity and we do hope many of you worldwide will agree. Privacy that #OpBigBrother defends, mainstream media, the developement of technology and entertainment made we forgot it since the last decay, maybe earlier. That Right, if it falls, makes all other Rights of a structure called Freedom to crumble. We invite every organization working for privacy and every citizen to continue to inform people on the threats that hang over privacy. Governments pretend to design those systems for security reasons, but every people able to access and understand information on those matters will stand up against a society of global control on the citizens that is being drawn. They plan to use technology to know everything about citizens including : who is who, who do what and with whom, as well in real life and the Internet. Some government and private companies prepared to control people with the a new Internet regulation treaty. USA and Europe rejected the text but will it be the same on the next meeting? Be ready to defend your privacy again in 2013 with #opWCIT. Be careful on how governments and private companies will try to share them the control of the Internet. It's time to act, it's time to show the governments of the World, who we are, it's time to show humanity stands as united, it is time to show what freedom means to us. We call on YOU to prepare for the next Day of Action against surveillance planned. Act NOW and spread the word in your mother tongue, enter your Countries and Cities, in the pad linked on the description of this video once you can organize things: https://pad.riseup.net/p/OpBigBrotherORGA It's our Freedom and our Privacy. Resist and build together, because we are the sons of the Resistance Let us unite the whole humanity as one. Let it be the largest protests of the world history. United We Stand, Divided We Fall.

#Anonymous - #OpBigBrother: Worldwide Protests - #INDECT - #OpTrapwire

~

Citizens of the world, we are Anonymous You chose on October the 20th to make #OpBigBrother voice surround worldwide to inform people about the threatens of surveillance systems on their Freedom. We are now in times when stakes about both individual and common liberties are critical. Smack in the middle of an economic and social crisis, we have adjourned our attention about those matters, we forgot such atmospheres often lead to threatens on our fundamental Rights. We call you once again to act against systems of the almighty Surveillance State. You noticed, how many efforts governments deploy to mark and spy people worldwide. They plan to use technology to know everything about citizens including : who is who, who do what and with whom, as well in real life and the Internet. Moreover, our governments are about to demolish Privacy with Systems like Trapwire and Indect. Those network surveillance technologies sniff the CCTV cameras, government databases and the Internet to identify people and make a profile of citizens, their families and their socializing. Governments also want to silence us with projects like cleanIT. They are planning to take control of the internet using Deep Packet Inspection engines like CAS system. They work with lobbies to install censorship with laws like ACTA, CETA, SOPA, PIPA or CISPA. Governments pretend to design those systems for security reasons, but every people able to access and understand information on those matters should stand up against a society of global control on the citizens that is being drawn. Included in the global action of Anonymous, #OpBigBrother is working to inform populations on systems designed to watch and control them ! It's time to act, it's time to show the governments of the World, who we are, it's time to show humanity stands as united, it is time to show what freedom means to us. We call you to prepare for the next Worldwide Day of Action against surveillance planned for December the 8th 2012. A way to make it successful is to follow a few advises to awake people, and make them join. Protips : ( rythmer la vidéo pour appuyer ces protips - rythm on video to accentuate protips) Organize locally and spread information everywhere you can, Make paperstorms to inform citizens about those matters, Publish informative posters everywhere you can on the Internet, Make Graffitis and chalking in order to display the operation in the streets Relay information on what's happening to your anon comrades Always focus on others' safety as well as yours Work on making the protest peaceful People unable to protest on that date are invited to make informative paperstorms. Try to find ways to awake the interest of ordinary people, using creative communication materials and actions. Act now and spread the word in your mother tongue, enter your Countries and Cities, in the pad linked on the description of this video once you can organise things. Governments are supposed to defend the interest of their peoples. They are not here to cheat the citizens. It's our Freedom and our privacy. Resist and build together, because we are the sons of the Resistance Let us unite the whole humanity as one. Let it be the largest protests of the world history. United We Stand, Divided We Fall. We are the people We are the only system, We are Anonymous, We are Legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. Expect us It's just the beginning...

Anonymous is planning a global protest tomorrow.

In a campaign called Operation Big Brother, the Worldwide Day Of Protest Against Surveillance appears to be plotting action from citizens in over a dozen countries in an organized effort against government use of surveillance systems such as Europe's INDECT and America's Trapwire.

Using a Google Map to pull in and track protesters by location, Operation Big Brother is supposed to visibly demonstrate what's going on during the protest. Yet little is known about how it will be implemented other than the suggestion, "IRL protest (...) unofficial information and defacing." News of the protest is being shared on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and Pastebin, while opt-in protest locations are being tracked with a Google Map. The protest was announced in August after a WikiLeaks leak of private intelligence firm Stratfor's documents revealed the global use and implementation of American surveillance system Trapwire. It was first tacked onto a pre-existing European anti-government-surveillance protest, Stop INDECT. But now on its Operation Big Brother Twitter feed and ancillary online outlets, Anonymous is hinting at bigger plans. Information about the protest is being shared by Operation Big Brother (@OpBigBrother) and there is a #OpBigBrother Worldwide call to protest against Surveillance SystemsFacebook Event Page. Both Trapwire and INDECT combine various intelligent surveillance technologies with tracking and location data, individual profile histories from various sources (data mining and social media), and image data analysis (such as facial recognition -- Trapwire's video component) to monitor people.

Anonymous has released a new video describing its intent behind the protest.

The video voiceover states:

Dear activists for the protection of privacy, dear people from all over the world. We are Anonymous. We call you to act now against overall Surveillance-Systems. Worldwide governments are about to demolish Privacy with Systems like Trapwire and Indect. Those network surveillance technologies sniff the CCTV cameras, government databases and the Internet to identify people and make a profile of citizens, their families and their socializing.

Trapwire is used by private entities, the U.S. government, "and its allies overseas." In mid-August when the Google Map and Operation Big Brother became public there was only a small cluster of pins indicating participants for the October 20 protest only in Europe. Now, people in dozens of cities in 15 countries around the globe have joined the protest against government use of the surveillance technologies on citizens. Countries include Germany, the U.K., the United States, Australia, Russia, Philippines, Venezuela, and Pakistan.

Trapwire and INDECT's opponents believe that the surveillance systems to be direct threats to privacy and certain civil freedoms and that their implementation could constitute human rights violations.

The ACLU this summer called Trapwire "deeply problematic" and elaborated on the term "the surveillance-industrial complex," saying:

It's always surprising when security agencies feel they can activate far-reaching surveillance tools without any public knowledge or debate. We're supposed to be living in a democracy; that's what these security agencies are supposed to be protecting--they shouldn't be helping themselves to dramatic new powers over citizens whenever the latest technology makes that possible.

Just this week, the ACLU commented on San Francisco law enforcement using a subpoena to get location information on a suspect via the city's public transit Clipper Card database. Chris Conley, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California said, "As with all location information, Clipper cards can tell quite a bit about a person -- it could show that a person got off BART at a rally." California Watch wrote:

Many cardholders might not realize that data tracking their every move on public transit is stored on computers and available to anyone with a search warrant or subpoena. Personal data can be stored for seven years after a Clipper account is closed, according to the commission's policy.

Regardless of the outcome of tomorrow's planned protest, the push by Anonymous shows a keen and persistent interest in pushing back the reach of surveillance technologies.

#opTrapWire – You might see US but, we sure as HELL see you too! Greetings Citizens of the United States of America – This weekend, it was disclosed by Wikileaks the details about a system known as “TrapWire” that uses facial recognition and other techniques including high-end artificial intelligence to track and monitor individuals using countless different closed-circuit cameras operated by cities and other institutions, including private businesses. This program also monitors all social media on the internet. The software is billed as a method by which to prevent terrorism, but can of course also be used to provide unprecedented surveillance and data-mining capabilities to governments and corporations – including many with a history of using new technologies to violate the rights of citizens. TrapWire is already used in New York, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Texas, DC, London, and other locales around the USA. The ex-CIA agents who help run the firm are old friends of Stratfor vice president Fred Burton, whom they’ve briefed on their own capabilities in e-mails obtained by Anonymous hackers and provided to WikiLeaks. Stratfor has engaged in several surveillance operations against activists, such as those advocating for victims of the Bhopal disaster – on behalf of large U.S. corporatons; Burton himelf was revealed to have advocated “bankrupting” and “ruining the life” of activists like Julian Assange in e-mails to other friends. TrapWire is extremely expensive to maintain, and is usually done so at taxpayer expense; Los Angeles county alone has spent over $1.4 million dollars on the software’s use in a single three-month period of 2007. Although most of the regions in which TrapWire operates don’t share information with each other, all of this is set to change; as Abraxas Applications president Dan Botsch told Burton via e-mail, “I think over time the different networks will begin to unite,” noting that several networks had already begun discussions on merging their information. Abraxas itself has always had the ability to “cross-network matches” from every region at their own office. By June 2011, Washington D.C. police were engaged in a pilot project under the Departent of Homeland Security that’s likely to lead to more cities using TrapWire on a more integrated basis. Abraxas, the firm whose spin-off Abraxas Applications developed TrapWire in 2007, has long been involved in a lesser-known practice known as persona management, which involves the use of fake online “people” to gather intelligence and/or disseminate disinformation. The firm Ntrepid, created by Abraxas owner Cubic Corporation, won a 2010 CENTCOM contract to provide such capabilities for use in foreign countries; several board members of Ntrepid also sit on Abraxas. The more we learn about TrapWire and similar systems, it becomes absolutely clear that we must at all costs shut this system down and render it useless. A giant AI electronic brain able to monitor us through a combination of access to all the CCTV cameras as well as all the online social media feeds is monstrous and Orwellian in it’s implications and possibilities. The Peoples Liberation Front and Anonymous will now put forth a call to arms, and initiate the doom of this evil and misbegotten program. We will use the following tactics to accomplish this goal: 1) The PLF and Anonymous will work closely with WikiLeaks and Project PM to gather, collate, disclose and disseminate as much information as possible about TrapWire and it’s related technologies and programs. This was begun this weekend, and already much has been learned. And they are scared of this, already many sites and repositories of data on TrapWire are disappearing – being taken down by those who do not want you to know the truth about what they are doing. And WikiLeaks is at this writing enduring a massive and historic DdoS attack in an attempt to conceal this information from the public. We will do this not only to educate the general public regarding TrapWire, but to move them to pressure their representatives to shut down funding for this and similar programs of massive surveillance, and to pass laws outlawing the creation of future projects of this type. 2) ACTION ALERT – “Smash A Cam Saturday”: TrapWire has access to virtually all CCTV’s that have IP/internet connectivity. We have prepared an initial map/database of these cameras across the USA, and we will continue to expand this knowledge base. http://bit.ly/PcByYJ While this database is a good guide to high priority camera targets, we encourage everyone to target any camera with IP/internet connectivity. We are asking everyone to sabotage at least one CCTV per week on what we are calling “Smash A Cam Saturday”. We have provided this excellent manual of different tactics and strategies for disabling or destroying these “eyes of the beast”. http://bit.ly/1Qjp 3) As stated above, this “monster” doesn’t just have eyes that need gouging out – it also has “ears”. TrapWire constantly monitors social media. In a strange twist of fate, the company that developed TrapWire also works on something called “sock-puppet” programs. These are projects designed to create thousands of fake personas on social media. We will turn this idea and software against them, creating thousands of phony accounts and use them to produce a deluge of false triggers for the TrapWire program – essentially drowning it in “white noise”. 4) Finally, the Peoples Liberation Front and Anonymous will do what we do best. We will find, hack – and destroy the servers where the AI “electronic brain” of this program is housed. Operation TrapWire is a direct action of the over-arching Anonymous Operation USA. TrapWire is but one instance of how the government of the USA has turned against it’s own citizens, designating them as suspects and enemies. Now those citizens rise, and take back their country and their freedom. Welcome to the Second American Revolution.
