CNET’s Declan McCullagh breaks this staggering news:
CNET has learned that the FBI has formed a Domestic Communications Assistance Center (DCAC), which is tasked with developing new electronic surveillance technologies, including Internet, wireless, and VoIP communications.
…
DCAC’s mandate is broad, covering everything from trying to intercept and decode Skype conversations to building custom wiretap hardware or analyzing the gigabytes of data that a wireless provider or social network might turn over in response to a court order. It’s also designed to serve as a kind of surveillance help desk for state, local, and other federal police.
The Celebrated Peace Laureate is watching.
So if I quit posting for more than a few days, you guys know what happened.

Fun fact: Over the last five years, Shell Oil has dealt with an average of 172 spills a year. 63 of them last year were “operational,” or over 100kg. Shell has announced that it paid $1.1 million in reparations to affected communities last year.
Bonus: Read this report on environmental and human rights abuses in Nigeria.

I’m going to print this out and carry it with me, just in case if I ever go shopping for some makeup products. And it doesn’t end with makeup, it’s also shampoo, perfume, nail polish, deodorant, etc. There are some brands that do not test on animals that aren’t listed here, which I’ve added to my post.
