PHILLY D.A. is a multi-part series that details the dramatic work inside the office of Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner as he and his team work to end mass incarceration and transform the criminal justice system from the inside. In 2017, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania had one of the highest incarceration rates of any major city in the United States. And it's become the epicenter of a historic experiment that could shape the future of prosecution in America for decades to come. When civil rights attorney Larry Krasner mounted a long-shot campaign to become District Attorney, he ran on a bold pledge: to end mass incarceration by changing the culture of the criminal justice system from within. He shocked the establishment by winning in a landslide. Now, the bureaucrats he spent his campaign denigrating are his co-workers; the police he alienated are his rank-and-file law enforcers. Pressure comes from all sides of a system resistant to reform. Krasner's unapologetic promise to use the power of the D.A.'s office for sweeping change is what got him elected; now that he's in office, that same stubbornness threatens to alienate those he needs to work with the most. From the eye of this political storm, filmmakers Ted Passon, Yoni Brook, and Nicole Salazar gained unprecedented access into Krasner's office and behind the scenes of the criminal justice system. Over the course of eight episodes, PHILLY D.A.  explores the most pressing social issues of our time—police brutality, the opioid crisis, gun violence, and mass incarceration—through the lens of an idealistic team attempting fundamental overhaul from within the system. The series debuted at the Sundance Film Festival in January, with its broadcast premiere in April of 2021 on ITVS's flagship, Emmy award-winning documentary anthology series Independent Lens on PBS, followed by First Look Media's streaming service Topic.

"We have a sane business model... you don't spend more than you have coming in." Matt Bors is editor and founder of The Nib, the magazine that uses comics to tell stories about some of the big, serious issues facing the world. The magazine launched online first, as one of the sites that were part of Medium in its early days, and in this conversation he explains how that relationship came to an end, and how he ended up working with First Look Media, another company with lots of money to spend, and how that also came to an end as their priorities shifted. These days Matt is running the whole thing entirely independently on what he calls a “sane business model”, funded by his readers, and I was really interested to hear his thoughts on the experience of working with those big, wealthy partners, compared to the business he runs today.

Matthew Barnett, Founder of Bonjoro Matt launched Bonjoro as a sales hack for his first agency, where he would send every new lead a personal video to delight and surprise them whilst taking a boat to work. What started as fun over a few beers quickly snowballed into a high growth, funded company, and the team are now spread across 6 countries, headquartered out of Sydney Australia. As a design-led founder, Matts love of building great products is only surpassed by his total commitment to building great business culture. Bonjoros goal is to be the next Zappos, to be the most loved brand in the world. Shripriya Mahesh, Partner at Spero Ventures When we founded Spero Ventures in 2018, we thought about what people might want in the future. We kept coming back to the idea that no matter what happens, people will always care about the basics: health and wellness; work and a sense of purpose; and human connection. So that's what we decided to invest in. Before starting Spero, I ran Emerging Tech investing at Omidyar Network. I loved the sense of purpose of bringing more opportunity to more people. We decided to spin out of Omidyar Network in order to invest in for-profit companies that shared the same purpose. Prior to Omidyar Network, I worked with Pierre Omidyar to launch First Look Media. Before that, I worked at eBay, which Pierre founded in 1995. eBay's mission — to enable economic opportunity around the world — felt like the ultimate purpose for the internet. I led the global product team and later I led US product marketing. Before eBay, I led product at a startup called NextCard. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Journalists and human right’s activists on daily basis deal with difficult situations affecting themselves directly or the people they’re helping, they work under stressful conditions, always chasing a deadline and oftentimes while trying to make the world better they mend up encountering the darker side of it. All those things make them prone to experiencing compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma. Learn more about what these are, how they manifest themselves (whether it comes to you or members of your team) and why paying attention to symptoms is crucial not you for you but also people you work with from a great conversation with Andy Carvin in our first episode of the third season of MEGAPHONE podcast series. This one is especially dedicated to those of us who shake their heads when they hear the term “mindfulness” as Andy explains how it actually means looking out for yourself and each other.

This week, Roqayah and Kumars are joined once again by the show's resident artist Matt Lubchansky. Matt is a cartoonist and illustrator with a long running webcomic Please Listen To Me. You can find their work in VICE, Eater, The Intercept, Mad Magazine, Gothamist, and Brooklyn Magazine, among others. We learn about what Matt has been up to since their previous appearance, especially in light of The Nib losing its primary source of funding from its parent company First Look Media after three and a half years. Matt shares how they've been coping, and why The Nib decided to go independent so they can keep pumping out high quality left-wing comic content.  We also get into the weeds and examine the role of satire in political cartooning, and how Matt provides social commentary in their comics without punching down. We talk about Matt's artistic portrayal of a dystopian future, and "hell world" that features sci-fi and horror tropes. And this, of course, means we get to talk about aliens and how we would react to a potential alien invasion. You can follow Matt on Twitter at @Lubchansky and support The Nib by becoming a member of the Inkwell.

President Donald Trump threatened to close the US' southern border this week if Mexico does not "immediately stop" what he calls the surge of illegal immigrants coming into the United States. "We have right now two big caravans coming up from Guatemala, massive caravans, walking right through Mexico," Also, The United States is halting humanitarian funding to Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, the State Department confirmed on Saturday. What does this really mean, and are these really solutions looking for problems? Back in March, First Look Media announced that it was shutting down access to Edward Snowden's massive trove of leaked National Security Agency documents. The Intercept, which is owned by First Look Media, has maintained a research team to handle the large number of documents provided by Snowden to Intercept journalists Laura Poitras and Glenn Greenwald. First Look CEO Michael Bloom said, “It is our hope that Glenn and Laura are able to find a new partner — such as an academic institution or research facility — that will continue to report on and publish the documents in the archive consistent with the public interest.” With that, I wanted to take a moment and discuss the need for and power of independent journalists and more importantly, investigative journalists, because an informed electorate is the cornerstone of a democracy. Juan Guaidó, the self-proclaimed interim president of Venezuela who is supported by the United States government, recently announced coming “tactical actions” that will be taken by his supporters starting April 6 as part of “Operation Freedom,” an alleged grassroots effort to overthrow Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. That operation, according to Guaidó, will be led by “Freedom and Aid Committees” that in turn create “freedom cells” throughout the country — “cells” that will spring to action when Guaidó gives the signal on April 6 and launch large-scale community protests. Guaidó's stated plan involves the Venezuelan military then taking his side, but his insistence that “all options are still on the table” (read: including foreign military intervention) reveals his impatience with the military, which has continued to stay loyal to Maduro throughout Guaidó's “interim presidency.” However, a document released by the US Agency for International Development (USAID) in February and highlighted last month in a report by Devex details the creation of networks of small teams, or cells, that would operate in a way very similar to what Guaidó describes in his plan for “Operation Freedom.” GUESTS:Carlos Castaneda — Attorney at Garcia & Garcia. Greg Palast — Award-winning investigative reporter featured in The Guardian, Nation Magazine, Rolling Stone Magazine, BBC and other high profile media outlets. He covered Venezuela for The Guardian and BBC Television's "Newsnight."

Bundesregierung geht jetzt doch von Upload-Filtern aus Teile der Bundesregierung ändern ihren Tonfall im Streit um Artikel 13 der geplanten EU-Urheberrechtsnovelle. So hat der parlamentarische Justizstaatssekretär Christian Lange in einer heise online vorliegenden Antwort auf eine Anfrage des FDP-Innenexperten, Konstantin Kuhle, eingeräumt, dass viele Plattformen mit nutzergenerierten Inhalten angesichts des schärferen Haftungsregimes um den Einsatz von Upload-Filtern nicht herumkämen. Für Kuhle ist damit klar: Der vermeintliche Kompromiss in Artikel 13 ist keiner und die Bundesregierung zeige erneut, dass ihr in Bürgerrechtsfragen nicht zu trauen ist. Google sperrt 2,3 Milliarden Anzeigen Von Phishing-Websites bis zum Kautionsvermittler – 2018 gingen Googles Abuse-Abteilung insgesamt 2,3 Milliarden Anzeigen ins Netz, die gegen die Geschäftsbedingungen des Konzerns verstoßen. Google überprüft darüber hinaus priorisiert die zugehörigen Accounts in seinem Werbenetzwerk. Insgesamt wurden im vergangenen Jahr 734.000 Publisher-Accounts und App-Developer aus dem Netzwerk entfernt. Mit einer Mischung aus manueller Prüfung und künstlicher Intelligenz will der Konzern den Verursachern betrügerischer oder missbräuchlicher Werbung in Zukunft noch schneller auf die Spur kommen. Strafrechtliche Ermittlungen gegen Facebook wegen Datenschachers Bundesstaatsanwälte in New York ermitteln strafrechtlich gegen Facebook. Hintergrund dürfte die mehr als zehn Jahre währende Weitergabe privater Daten seitens Facebook an zahlreiche Endgeräte-Hersteller sein. Facebook hatte das nicht offengelegt. Erst im vergangenen Juni war bekannt geworden, dass Facebook seit 2007 Handy-Herstellern tiefen Einblick in Nutzer-Daten gewährt hatte. The Intercept schließt Snowden-Archiv The Intercept wurde Anfang 2014 gegründet, um die NSA-Dokumente, die Edward Snowden an sich gebracht hatte, aufzubereiten. Dann erweiterte das Magazin seinen Fokus. Das US-Medienunternehmen First Look Media schließt nun sein Snowden-Archiv und entlässt Mitarbeiter, um sich auf "andere redaktionelle Prioritäten" zu konzentrieren. First Look Media hofft, dass ein neuer Partner für die Aufarbeitung der Dokumente gefunden werden kann, etwa an einer Universität.

F*ck the attribution, show us your .idb! Morgan Marquis-Boire Senior Researcher, Citizen Lab Marion Marschalek Malware reverse engineer, Cyphort Inc Claudio Guarnieri Creator and lead developer, Cuckoo Sandbox Over the past few years state-sponsored hacking has received attention that would make a rockstar jealous. Discussion of malware has shifted in focus from ‘cyber crime’ to ‘cyber weapons’, there have been intense public debates on attribution of various high profile attacks, and heated policy discussion surrounding regulation of offensive tools. We’ve also seen the sale of ‘lawful intercept’ malware become a global trade. While a substantial focus has revolved around the activities of China, Russia, and Iran, recent discoveries have revealed the capabilities of Western nations such as WARRIORPRIDE aka. Regin (FVEY) and SNOWGLOBE aka. Babar (France). Many have argued that digital operations are a logical, even desirable part of modern statecraft. The step from digital espionage to political persecution is, however, a small one. Commercially written, offensive software from companies like FinFisher and Hacking Team has been sold to repressive regimes under the guise of ‘governmental intrusion’ software. Nation state hacking operations are frequently well-funded, difficult to attribute, and rarely prosecuted even if substantive evidence can be discovered. While efforts have been made to counter this problem, proof is hard to find and even more difficult to correctly interpret. This creates a perfect storm of conditions for lies, vendor lies, and flimsy attribution. In this talk we will unveil the mess happening backstage when uncovering nation state malware, lead the audience on the track of actor attribution, and cover what happens when you find other players on the hunt. We will present a novel approach to binary stylometry, which helps matching binaries of equal authorship and allows credible linking of binaries into the bigger picture of an attack. After this session the audience will have a better understanding of what happened behind the scenes when the next big APT report surfaces.
