 「民間軍事会社」と聞いて思い浮かべるのは、ロシア・ウクライナ戦争さなかに起きた、「ワグネル」「プリゴジンの乱」だろう。この事件、現代戦の暗部が資本主義国アメリカだけでなく、旧ソ連=ロシアにも存在する事実を照射してくれた。 もちろん本書にも詳述されている。「ロシア国家によるワグネル乗っ取り」「プリゴジン暗殺」の章は、読みどころの一つだ。 だが本書は、もっと広範に、アメリカ「戦争請負会社」の活動からアフリカの地域紛争や湾岸戦争、イラク戦争にもおよび、「民間軍事会社」が 現代の戦..

EFFECTOR 36.9 - Decoding The Courts' Digital Decisions

Since 1990 EFF has published EFFector to help keep readers on the bleeding edge of their digital rights. We know that the intersection of technology, civil liberties, human rights, and the law can be complicated, so EFFector is a great way to stay on top of things. The newsletter is chock full of links to updates, announcements, blog posts, and other stories to help keep readers—and listeners—up to date on the movement to protect online privacy and free expression. 

Thank you to the supporters around the world who make our work possible! If you're not a member yet, join EFF today to help us fight for a brighter digital future.

【リレー時評】「戦死手当」まで検討〓 経済的徴兵だ=中村 梧郎(JCJ代表委員)<br />

2 months 2 weeks ago
 北富士演習場で、手榴弾訓練中の陸自隊員が5月末に被弾死した。岐阜の日野射撃場では昨年、3人を殺傷する兵が出た。演習は〝戦争ごっこ〟ではない、敵を殺す能力を新兵に叩き込む場であり、危険と紙一重である。自衛隊のポスターはカッコ良さを演出し、若者らのあこがれを煽る。でも戦場は甘くはない。敵と遭遇したら殺すか殺されるかの世界である。 銃弾も爆弾も大量殺害の手段である。だから軍はそれを扱う殺人のプロを育てる。戦艦も戦車も殺人装置。その最上位にある戦闘攻撃機の輸出を岸田内閣は決めた。明..

34 Years Supporting the Wild and Weird World Online

2 months 2 weeks ago

Oh the stories I could tell you about EFF's adventures anchoring the digital rights movement. Clandestine whistleblowers. Secret rooms. Encryption cracking. Airships over mass spying facilities. Even appearances from a badger, a purple dinosaur, and an adorable toddler dancing to Prince. EFF emerged as a proud friend to creators and users alike in this wild and weird world online—and we’re still at it.

Thank you for supporting EFF in our mission to ensure that technology supports freedom, justice, and innovation for all people of the world.

Today the Electronic Frontier Foundation commemorates its 34th anniversary of battling for your digital freedom. It’s important to glean wisdom from where we have been, but at EFF we're also strong believers that this storied past helps us build a positive future. Central to our work is supporting the unbounded creativity on the internet and the people who are, even today, imagining what a better world looks like.

That’s why EFF’s lawyers, activists, policy analysts, and technologists have been on your side since 1990. I’ve seen magical things happen when you—not the companies or governments around you—can determine how you engage with technology. When those stars align, social movements can thrive, communities can flourish, and the internet’s creativity blossoms.

The web plays a crucial role in lifting up the causes you believe in, whatever they may be. These transformative moments are only possible when there is ample space for your privacy, your creativity, and your ability to express yourself freely. No matter where threats may arise, know that EFF is by your side armed with unparalleled expertise and the will to defend the public interest.

I am deeply thankful for people like you who support internet freedom and who value EFF’s role in the movement. It’s a team effort.

One More Day for Summer Treats

Leading up to EFF’s anniversary today, we’ve been having some fun with campfire tales from The Encryptids. We reimagined folktales about cryptids, like Bigfoot and the jackalope, from the perspective of creatures who just want what we all want: a privacy-protective, creative web that lifts users up with technology that respects critical rights and freedoms!

As EFF’s 34th birthday gift to you, I invite you to join EFF for just $20 today and you’ll get two limited-time gifts featuring The Encryptids. On top of that, Craig Newmark Philanthropies will match up to $30,000 for your first year as a monthly or annual Sustaining Donor! Many thanks to Craig—founder of Craigslist and a persistent supporter of digital freedom—for making this possible.

But we never lose sight of the critical job ahead. Thank you for supporting EFF in our mission to ensure that technology supports freedom, justice, and innovation for all people of the world.
