"The latest notes from the Debian anti-harassment team on Wednesday caught my attention when reading, "We were requested to advice on the appropriateness of a certain package in the Debian archive. Our decision resulted in the package pending removal from the archive." Curiosity got the best of me... What package was deemed too inappropriate for the Debian archive? "

Submission + - Swedish ISP Bahnhof Fights SciHub Blocking Order (torrentfreak.com)

Submitted by thomst on Monday December 17, 2018 @12:57PM

thomst writes: TorrentHub posted a report that, "After being ordered to block a number of piracy-related domains following a complaint from academic publisher Elsevier, Swedish ISP Bahnhof retaliated by semi-blocking Elsevier's own website and barring the court from visiting Bahnhof.se. Those actions have now prompted Sweden's telecoms watchdog to initiate an inquiry to determine whether the ISP breached net neutrality rules."

Bahnhof is under investigation for diverting its users who attempt to click on links to Elsevier — the complainant in the case — to a page that explains the giant journal publisher forced the ISP to block access to a number of SciHub domains, via a court order it doesn't have the resources to fight. That page includes a link to Elsevier that Bahnhof doesn't intercept.

So, is it reasonable for Bahnhof to divert its users to a "fuck you" page, rather than allowing them to freely access Elsevier?

Submission + - New AACS crack. This one is undefeatable.

Tuoqui writes: With all the focus on the infamous hexadecimal number people may be ignoring the biggest weakness in the AACS armor. Apparently some hackers have figured out how tocrack AACS in an undefeatable way that revoking all the keys would not protect against.
