This week we look at two articles dealing with privacy in the
computer world.
One regards a privacy tool developed by CloudFare which will
probably speed up your internet and aims to limit how much data
your internet service provider can collect about you.
The second article is by Richard Stallman. Stallman says, "To
restore privacy, we must stop surveillance before it even asks
for consent."
Stallman is president of the Free Software Foundation,
which launched the development of a free/libre operating
system GNU.

Privacy Tool, Released on April Fool's Day
By Laura Hautala/CNET:
This new privacy tool would speed up your internet, too
It's no joke how much data your internet service provider can
collect about you. A new service from Cloudflare aims to change
that.
These days, you may wish you had a magic switch you could flip
to keep your data more secure.
The misuse of Facebook user data by Cambridge Analytica is only
the latest consumer privacy flap to create outrage. Remember
the Equifax hack? That affected more than 230 million people.
And in 2017, US lawmakers reversed Obama-era rules that forbade
your internet service provider from making money off your
web-browsing history.
Suddenly internet users are realizing that their internet
service providers have been amassing huge troves of data on all
the websites they visit. People aren't happy about that, and it
seems there's nothing we can do about it.
So a magic switch would be nice. And that's essentially what
website performance and security giant Cloudflare set out to
create with its new tool called 1.1.1.1. Announced Sunday,
1.1.1.1 aims to speed up your internet connection and make it
impossible for your ISP to collect your browsing history.
That's big news at a time when consumers are demanding more
control of their data.
"If you switch [your DNS (jk)] to 1.1.1.1, then that ledger of
where you're going online is not being kept by your ISP,"
Matthew Prince, CEO of Cloudflare, said in an interview.
With 1.1.1.1, internet users can let Cloudflare take over the
process of resolving requests to the Domain Name System, also
known as DNS. That's the crucial process of matching up a URL
-- like facebook.com -- with a website's true location on the
internet, called an IP address (for Facebook, that's
157.240.18.35).
Usually your internet service provider takes care of DNS for
you. This also happens to be a great way to log every website
you visit. Taking that out of your ISP's hands, then, makes it
harder for the company to collect your browsing history.
That's what Cloudflare's pitching with its new service, which is
free and can be used by changing the settings in your web
browsers or operating systems. You can use it on computers,
routers and phones. If you type 1.1.1.1 into your web browser,
you'll find a website that gives you instructions. Swearing off
data collection animated gif shows how to point your iPhone
toward 1.1.1.1 on a specific Wi-Fi network.

would-speed-your-internet-too/ (wraps)]
But wait, if Cloudflare is directing your website queries, then
can't it collect your browsing history for itself? Actually,
they're not going to keep that data at all, Prince said.
"At no time will we record the list of where everyone is going
online," Prince said. "That's creepy."
Cloudflare is working with third-party auditors at KPMG to
examine their systems and guarantee they're not actually
collecting your data. That privacy commitment, Prince said, is
what separates Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 from other DNS services that
are free and open to the public.
Other services include OpenDNS (owned by Cisco) and open-source
project TentaDNS. Google also provides a DNS resolver, called
Google Public DNS. Google does limit the kinds of information
it saves when you use its DNS service, but it keeps anonymized
lists of all the web addresses users search for in permanent
logs, along with other information. The company says it doesn't
correlate web browsing activity with Google accounts.
Cloudflare's promise to keep your data private is impressive,
said Heidi Shey, a privacy and security expert at business
analyst firm Forrester. "It's a great thing that they're coming
out of the gate and being up front about that," Shey said.
Still, she added, "You're kind of taking what they're saying at
face value."
The company will need to continue to be transparent, showing
what the auditors find in their logs, for consumers to continue
to trust the service, Shey said.
That might be especially important because of a coding flaw,
dubbed Cloudbleed, that in 2017 afflicted websites using
Cloudflare's products. That led to the potential exposure of
usernames, passwords, messages and other important information.
Cloudflare fixed the problem, and there aren't any indications
that hackers used the flaw to steal anyone's information.
Taking it one step further
Prince acknowledges that 1.1.1.1 is no silver bullet. Internet
service providers still have other tools for sniffing out which
websites you visit. That's because some key information about
your web-browsing habits is encoded into the bits and bytes that
travel over the internet, and ISPs can intercept that
information and read it.
Cloudflare is hoping to help solve that problem, too. It's
promoting the implementation of a system called DNS over HTTPS,
which encrypts that data about your web browsing as it flows
online.
It'll be up to the makers of web browsers, operating systems and
devices to build in support for DNS over HTTPS. If that becomes
standard practice, using a DNS service like 1.1.1.1 will cut off
your internet service provider from your browsing history for
good.
Mozilla is looking into making DNS over HTTPS a feature of its
Firefox browser.
"Firefox is the most privacy-centric browser, and we are always
looking for new technologies like DNS over HTTPS to ensure we're
at the cutting edge of speed, privacy and making life online
better," Selena Deckelmann, a senior director of engineering at
Mozilla who focuses on Firefox, said in a statement. What's the
catch?
Lest you think this is an April Fools' joke too good to be true,
Prince said there's something in it for Cloudflare, too. The
company's main business is making its customers' websites run
fast. While Cloudflare has an array of services to make this
happen, Prince said, he realized that creating a free DNS
service could speed things up on the user's end.
So if you use 1.1.1.1, there should be a combined effect when
you visit the websites of Cloudflare customers. "It's going to
be even faster," Prince said.
Oh, and why announce it on April Fools' Day? It's a bit of
programming humor, Prince said. April 1 can also be written as
4/1. That's an awful lot like four ones, or... 1.1.1.1.
===
Additional Information
Before making any changes, write down your current settings for
DNS just to be safe. Keep these incase you need to revert to
them at in the future.
Instructions for Ubuntu:
These steps are for Ubuntu. Most Linux distributions configure
DNS settings through the Network Manager. As you probably
remember, your DNS settings can be specified in /etc/resolv.conf
using an editor like VI.
Click the Applications icon on the left menu bar.
Click Settings, then Network.
Find your internet connection on the right pane, then click
the gear icon.
Click the IPv4 or IPv6 tab to view your DNS settings.
Set the “Automatic” toggle on the DNS entry to Off.
Provide the 1.1.1.1 DNS addresses in the DNS entries field:
1.0.0.1
For IPv6: 2606:4700:4700::1111,2606:4700:4700::1001
Click Apply, then restart your browser.
That does it, you are now set for faster more private DNS
servers.

A Radical Proposal
================================================================
A Radical Proposal to Keep your Personal Data Safe
By Richard Stallman
The surveillance imposed on us today is worse than in the Soviet
Union. We need laws to stop this data being collected in the
first place
Journalists have been asking me whether the revulsion against
the abuse of Facebook data could be a turning point for the
campaign to recover privacy. That could happen, if the public
makes its campaign broader and deeper.
Broader, meaning extending to all surveillance systems, not just
Facebook. Deeper, meaning to advance from regulating the use of
data to regulating the accumulation of data. Because
surveillance is so pervasive, restoring privacy is necessarily a
big change, and requires powerful measures. After the Facebook
scandal it's time to base the digital economy on public v
private ownership of data.
The surveillance imposed on us today far exceeds that of the
Soviet Union. For freedom and democracy's sake, we need to
eliminate most of it. There are so many ways to use data to
hurt people that the only safe database is the one that was
never collected. Thus, instead of the EU's approach of mainly
regulating how personal data may be used (in its General Data
Protection Regulation or GDPR), I propose a law to stop systems
from collecting personal data.
The robust way to do that, the way that can't be set aside at
the whim of a government, is to require systems to be built so
as not to collect data about a person. The basic principle is
that a system must be designed not to collect certain data, if
its basic function can be carried out without that data.
Data about who travels where is particularly sensitive, because
it is an ideal basis for repressing any chosen target. We can
take the London trains and buses as a case for study.
The Transport for London digital payment card system centrally
records the trips any given Oyster or bank card has paid for.
When a passenger feeds the card digitally, the system associates
the card with the passenger's identity. This adds up to
complete surveillance.
I expect the transport system can justify this practice under
the GDPR's rules. My proposal, by contrast, would require the
system to stop tracking who goes where. The card's basic
function is to pay for transport. That can be done without
centralising that data, so the transport system would have to
stop doing so. When it accepts digital payments, it should do
so through an anonymous payment system.
Frills on the system, such as the feature of letting a passenger
review the list of past journeys, are not part of the basic
function, so they can't justify incorporating any additional
surveillance.
These additional services could be offered separately to users
who request them. Even better, users could use their own
personal systems to privately track their own journeys.
Black cabs demonstrate that a system for hiring cars with
drivers does not need to identify passengers. Therefore such
systems should not be allowed to identify passengers; they
should be required to accept privacy-respecting cash from
passengers without ever trying to identify them.
However, convenient digital payment systems can also protect
passengers' anonymity and privacy. We have already developed
one: GNU Taler. It is designed to be anonymous for the payer,
but payees are always identified. We designed it that way so as
not to facilitate tax dodging. All digital payment systems
should be required to defend anonymity using this or a similar
method.
What about security? Such systems in areas where the public are
admitted must be designed so they cannot track people. Video
cameras should make a local recording that can be checked for
the next few weeks if a crime occurs, but should not allow
remote viewing without physical collection of the recording.
Biometric systems should be designed so they only recognise
people on a court-ordered list of suspects, to respect the
privacy of the rest of us. An unjust state is more dangerous
than terrorism, and too much security encourages an unjust
state.
The EU's GDPR regulations are well-meaning, but do not go very
far. It will not deliver much privacy, because its rules are
too lax. They permit collecting any data if it is somehow
useful to the system, and it is easy to come up with a way to
make any particular data useful for something.
The GDPR makes much of requiring users (in some cases) to give
consent for the collection of their data, but that doesn't do
much good. System designers have become expert at manufacturing
consent (to repurpose Noam Chomsky's phrase). Most users
consent to a site's terms without reading them; a company that
required users to trade their first-born child got consent from
plenty of users. Then again, when a system is crucial for
modern life, like buses and trains, users ignore the terms
because refusal of consent is too painful to consider.
To restore privacy, we must stop surveillance before it even
asks for consent.
Finally, don't forget the software in your own computer. If it
is the non-free software of Apple, Google or Microsoft, it spies
on you regularly. That's because it is controlled by a company
that won't hesitate to spy on you. Companies tend to lose their
scruples when that is profitable. By contrast, free (libre)
software is controlled by its users. That user community keeps
the software honest.

More Information about the FidoGazette:
Fidogazette is published by Janis Kracht, Editor.
If you have an idea for a column or a series of articles, please
contact me :)
Subscriptions: Mailing-List subscriptions via
http://www.filegate.net/sub.html
Or you can always link into your uplink and use Tick or a tick
compatible program.
Where to Send Your Articles
Unlike most editors, I surely do not mind running my mouth when
there is a sparsity of articles for the 'zine. I'd MUCH rather
you sent in material... lacking that, I will fill these issues
with my meanderings and thoughts and hopefully we will grow into
something of consequence here :) Write an article!
If you WOULD like to submit an article, feel free to drop your
article off at:
Email attach to address: janis @ filegate.net
Fidonet attach:
Janis Kracht at 1:261/38
Modem: 607-200-4076
Binkp: 1:261/100 filegate.net port 24555
telnet mailer: filegate.net
If you are using routed Fidonet mail, don't send articles as
routed attaches. They may fail somewhere along the path before
getting here. Send them instead in the body of your routed
netmail to janis@filegate.net
Give it a title, sign your name and network address if you have
one or your email address and send it along!
Don't worry about the format, I can take anything you send me
and mutilate it further as you can see above. Linux is nice
that way (g). Spell checking your own work will help though
(something I'm typically guilty of (g)).
