sab123* EFF Launches Trollveillance Membership Campaign
EFF today launched its new troll and surveillance, or
"Trollveillance," (c)(tm) membership campaign. EFF, with
the help of online advertising firm DeepPacketWatch, (tm)
will track the identities of people as they look at online
pornography. EFF will then send shakedown messages to the
culprits, threatening to Photoshop their faces into the
very porn they had viewed and then post it to EFF's blog,
Facebook, status.net, diaspora, Twitter, identi.ca, and the
bathroom wall unless they join EFF at the $500 "Rare Earth"
level.
"If you look at Internet porn, you should already be an EFF
member," explained EFF Membership Coordinator Aaron Jue.
"Given all we've done to fight laws that would interfere
with sexual content online, that's always been true. Now
we're using the technologies of targeted advertising to
make sure."
"At first we were upset that Illinois troll attorney John
Steele was engaging in flagrant mendacity by claiming that
EFF was making money off the troll cases," added EFF Legal
Director Cindy Cohn. "But then we thought -- hey, we can go
him one better. Who needs legal process -- or even
copyrights. With Trollveillance, we skip straight to the
shakedown."

* FBI Demands Back Door Into Your House
First the FBI wanted Congress to force Internet companies
to build back doors into your private communications by
amending CALEA, the Communications Assistance for Law
Enforcement Act. Now the FBI is also demanding that
Congress pass HALEA -- the Housing Assistance for Law
Enforcement Act -- to require all providers of residential
housing to build new back doors and peepholes into every
home. Said the FBI's top lawyer Valerie Caproni, "When we
have a search warrant signed by a judge that lawfully
authorizes us to secretly search a house, we can't let
physical realities like opaque walls and locked doors get
in the way of that!" Asked about potential new security
vulnerabilities from adding back doors and peepholes to
everyone's homes, Caproni responded: "Don't worry, only the
government will have the keys."
