Yesterday, Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey announced on the platform that he would be returning to the company as full-time CEO, a position from which he had been ousted back in 2008. In a series of tweets, Dorsey briefly outlined his strategy for the growing company, focusing on Twitter’s strengths and his desire to ensure the platform is “easy to understand” for its many global users. But one tweet in the series stood out to us:
Much has changed in the nearly ten years since we launched our first lawsuit challenging the NSA’s illegal surveillance of millions of Americans’ Internet communications. Over time, the defendants in the cases have changed; the legal “authority” the government has invoked to justify the program has changed; and the public’s knowledge and understanding of the programs has increased remarkably.
But, nearly a decade in, one thing has stayed remarkably constant: the relevant facts. The NSA, with the help of the nation’s largest telecommunications firms, like AT&T, has tapped the nation’s Internet backbone, searching and sifting through vast amounts of innocent Americans’ Internet communications.
Liberen a Bassel Khartabil, detenido injustamente desde 2012.
(7 de octubre , 2015) – 31 organizaciones han exigido hoy que las autoridades sirias revelen de inmediato el paradero de Bassel Khartabil, un desarrollador de software y defensor de la libertad de expresión. Las autoridades sirias transfirieron a Khartabil, detenido en 2012, de la prisión central de Adra a un lugar no revelado, a día 3 de octubre de 2015.
El 3 de octubre, Khartabil logró informar a su familia de que los agentes de seguridad le habían ordenado hacer las maletas, pero no revelaron su destino. La familia no ha recibido ninguna notificación oficial, pero según las informaciones no confirmadas que han recibido, creen que podría haber sido transferido al tribunal de militar de campaña la base de la policía militar en Qaboun.
إطلاق سراح باسل خرطبيل المعتقل جزافاً منذ 2015 إلى مكان سرّي
(7 تشرين الأول 2015) ناشدت31 منظمة اليوم، السلطات السورية مطالبة بالكشف فوراً عن مكان باسل خرطبيل، أحد أبرز النشطاء في سبيل حرية التعبير في. تشرين الأول / أوكتوبر، عملت الأجهزة إلى نقل خرطبيل المعتقل منذ 2012 وذلك من سجن عدرا المركزي إلى مكان مجهول.
مع ذلك، تمكن خرطبيل في اليوم ذاته، أي في 3 تشرين الأول / أوكتوبر 2015، من إبلاغ عائلته أن ضباطاً قد أمروه بحزم أمتعته ولكنهم امتنعوا عن كشف الموقع الذي سيساق إليه. هذا ولم تتلق عائلته أي معلومات أو إشعار رسمي ولكن على الأغلب وبحسب مصادر غير رسمية، فقد جرى إحالة باسل إلى محكمة ميدانية عسكرية في قاعدة الشرطة العسكرية في القابون.
هذا وأعرب متحدث باسم المجموعة عن قلق المنظمات الشديد وعن "مخاوف حقيقية إزاء الاحتمال الكبير أن يكون خرطبيل قد نقل الى سجون تنتهج التعذيب تابعة لقوى الأمن السورية". وقد نددت المجموعات "يجب إخلاء سبيل خرطبيل وإعادة الحرية إليه، عوضاً عن إخفائه قسراً مجدداً".
Libérez Bassel Khartabil, détenu injustement depuis 2012, transféré à un endroit tenu secret.
EFF has joined with organizations around the world in calling for Syria to reveal the whereabouts of detained technologist Bassel Khartabil. Khartabil's arbitrary detention and treatment by the Syrian authorities have been cause for concern since his initial arrest three and a half years ago. Fears have grown for his safety after he was taken from civil prison to an unknown destination on Saturday. He is one of the five current cases that EFF tracks in our Offline campaign to protect unjustly imprisoned technologists and bloggers.
Here is the joint press release from our coalition:
Release Bassel Khartabil, held unfairly since 2012
Two weeks ago, I wrote of exchanging letters with Bassel Khartabil, the creator of Syria's first hackerspace, a Creative Commons contributor and Wikipedian. Bassel has been detained for three and a half years by the Syrian authorities.

Los funcionarios cercanos a las negociaciones anunciaron ayer que alcanzaron un entendimiento final sobre el Acuerdo Transpacífico de Cooperación Económica (TPP, por sus siglas en inglés). Ese anuncio se produjo después de una prolongada ronda de negociación en Atlanta, Georgia, que giró principalmente alrededor de desacuerdos sobre normas relativas a patentes farmacéuticas y aranceles sobre vehículos y productos lácteos.
