What is Your Password?



President Obama just unveiled a number of proposals to crack down on hackers. It's great that the government is working on this but we need to do a better job of protecting ourselves. So we sent a camera out onto Hollywood Boulevard to help people by asking them to tell us their password.

Animation: "Bradley Manning verdict: not guilty and guilty



A military judge on Tuesday found Private First Class Bradley Manning not guilty of the most serious charge aiding the enemy, but convicted him of espionage, theft and nearly every other count for giving secrets to WikiLeaks

It is likely that Manning could spend the rest of his life behind bars. Manning is looking at up to 136 years behind bars if given maximum penalties in his sentencing hearing which begins on Wednesday. The sentencing hearing could take up most of August. The outcome of the sentencing is crucial for Manning and, on a wider scale, other future whistleblowers.




Judge army Col. Denise Lind deliberated over three days before reaching a decision that denied the government a precedent that media advocates had warned could have bigger implications for leak cases and investigative journalism dealing with national security issues. Media organizations and investigative journalists are breathing a sigh of relief at the acquittal as American democracy may have dodged a bullet.




Manning is one of a very short list of people that have ever been charged under the Espionage Act for leaking information to the media. Obama's administration is sending a clear message to media outlets and future leakers, beware because the government will go after you. 

Manning's conviction can't be good for Edward Snowden and somewhere Julian Assange is still trying to make this story about him, but hopefully the air won't be knocked out of future whistleblowers.

Richard Stallman: CISPA nearly abolishes people's right not to be unreasonably searched

Soon, Americans may find every private email they write could be opened, copied and inspected by government snoopers. The latest cyber security bill - called CISPA - has passed the House of Representatives, coming a step closer to becoming law. President Barack Obama has threatened to veto the act, if it goes through in the Senate. He cited civil liberty concerns as the reason for his threat. CISPA has raised a massive outcry with internet users and freedom activists, who say it's a hard hit on people's privacy. Reaction now from Dr Richard Stallman, who's President of the Free Software Foundation. He's in Tunis.
