Belgian museums are uniting in protest against Facebook over artistic nudity ban

sudshr47 July 30, 2018

Belgian museums are banding together to take on Facebook over the social media giant’s rules on nudity, specifically of the artistic variety.

The Flemish Tourist Board is trying to convince Facebook to change its rules over how it treats artistic nudity from Flemish Masters such as Peter Paul Rubens. The tourist board, Visit Flanders, points out that its Facebook postings with images containing artistic nudity are often removed by the company when they try to promote them.

Basically, Facebook’s rules do allow for the paintings to be posted on its social network, but the issue arises once a Facebook page, such as the museum’s, wants to promote the post on Facebook advertising platform. Belgian museums are saying this is making it difficult for them to attract visitors to its locations. Read more…

Censorship China Facebook Innovation Tech

Facebook quietly sets up ‘innovation hub’ in China (where it is still blocked)

sudshr47 July 24, 2018

Facebook might not be digitally accessible in China, but that’s not stopping it from establishing a physical presence in the country.

The social media giant is setting up an “innovation hub” in Hangzhou — the country’s fourth largest city and Zhejiang province capital in East China — which will essentially function as an entrepreneur incubator, supporting Chinese developers, innovators, and startups.

If the enterprise is successful, it could serve to get the website unblocked in the world’s most populated country.

Google, another banned site, launched a similar campaign in December with the opening of an artificial intelligence lab in China. It has since released a selection of AI-based apps for the country, including a file management app. However, as of press time, the search engine and its related sites remain blocked. Read more…

Apple Censorship China iCloud Privacy

Apple iCloud data in China now stored by state-owned company

sudshr47 July 18, 2018

A state-owned telecommunications company in China now stores the iCloud data for Apple’s China-based users. This is really bad news for dissidents and critics of the government.

In February, Apple caused an uproar when it announced it would be moving Chinese users’ iCloud accounts — and their encryption keys — to a China-based server company Guizhou-Cloud Big Data. Human rights advocates warned this move would be dangerous, especially so for Chinese dissidents. Apple’s response was that it simply had no choice but to comply if it wanted to continue providing its iCloud service to Chinese customers. Read more…

Facebook labeled part of the Declaration of Independence as ‘hate speech’

sudshr47 July 5, 2018

When Facebook removed a piece of “hate speech” from its platform, it raised quite a few eyebrows. The reason? It was part of the Declaration of Independence.

A Texas newspaper, The Liberty County Vindicator, was sharing the historical document in “small bites” to make it a “little easier to digest” for readers leading up to July 4. Everything was going fine until the paper’s 10th post, which included this passage from Thomas Jefferson on King George III’s abuses against the colonies:

“He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.” Read more…

6 VPNs that can help you break through China’s ‘Great Firewall’

sudshr47 June 1, 2018

The Great Wall of China was originally built to keep barbarians out, and now the Great Firewall of China strives to do the same kind of thing in our digital era. Allowing the Chinese government to block access to foreign websites and slow down cross-border internet traffic, the Great Firewall is the largest system of censorship in the world. But if you’re traveling to the vast country, you can circumvent it using a virtual private network, or VPN. Take it from us: You don’t have to get blocked in China.

While using a VPN in China is technically legal, providers play a game of cat-and-mouse with the authorities, which periodically crack down and try to block servers and throttle bandwidth, much to the annoyance of internet users. For example, a VPN ban reportedly came into effect in March, but nothing seems to have happened on the face of it at least, with providers being kept in the dark about if and when the ban will be rolled out.
