1
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:14,000
Merci. Félicitations aux étudiants
[de l'association Libertés Numériques -- NdR]

2
00:00:14,100 --> 00:00:16,000
d’avoir organisé cette réunion.

3
00:00:16,100 --> 00:00:19,900
Ils ont eu raison, non seulement
à cause de la célébrité de Richard

4
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,200
mais aussi parce que les sujets
nous intéressent beaucoup.

5
00:00:22,300 --> 00:00:25,000
Ils nous intéressent particulièrement
ici à Sciences Po

6
00:00:25,100 --> 00:00:29,200
puisque nous essayons d’abord
d’étudier les controverses;

7
00:00:29,300 --> 00:00:31,200
certains d’entre vous ici
étudient les controverses

8
00:00:31,300 --> 00:00:34,100
et Richard est lui-même
un personnage controversé.

9
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,000
Je n’ai rien trouvé sur le Web
qui permette de donner un accord

10
00:00:37,100 --> 00:00:45,100
ni sur ce qu’il fait, ni sur ce qu’il dit, ni sur
les mots qu’il utilise, donc il est un cas d’école

11
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,700
pour nous qui étudions les cartographies
de controverse dans cette maison.

12
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,700
On a en quelque sorte la présentation
d’un personnage controversé

13
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:53,700
sur des sujets qui nous importent.

14
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,800
Le deuxième point évidemment,
c’est que le sujet lui-même

15
00:00:56,900 --> 00:01:01,000
et la question des degrés
de liberté et de contrôle

16
00:01:01,100 --> 00:01:08,200
qui sont au cœur de toutes
ces innovations autour du numérique

17
00:01:08,300 --> 00:01:11,000
nous intéressent directement,
pour des raisons de sciences politiques

18
00:01:11,100 --> 00:01:14,300
pour des raisons de sociologie,
pour des raisons également de droit

19
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:18,000
toutes questions qui
nous intéressent dans cette maison.

20
00:01:18,100 --> 00:01:21,800
C’est d’ailleurs assez intéressant
que Richard vienne chez nous

21
00:01:21,900 --> 00:01:28,100
quelques jours après la mort de Steve Jobs,
mort qu’il a célébrée à sa façon si j’ose dire

22
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:32,200
en expliquant que la disparition
de Steve Jobs n’était pas un énorme malheur

23
00:01:32,300 --> 00:01:36,100
pour l’ensemble des questions
de liberté numérique

24
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:40,000
à cause du fait que — même
si on pouvait estimer Steve Jobs

25
00:01:40,100 --> 00:01:42,800
le contrôle qu’il exerçait sur les logiciels

26
00:01:42,900 --> 00:01:47,000
et la domination qui nous rend
en quelque sorte libres

27
00:01:47,100 --> 00:01:51,000
mais sous la forme, comme il le dit
dans plusieurs de ses propos

28
00:01:51,100 --> 00:01:54,200
d’une espèce de prison dorée —
prison dorée que j’adore

29
00:01:54,300 --> 00:01:56,600
puisque je suis moi-même
un adepte du Macintosh

30
00:01:56,700 --> 00:01:59,000
mais ce n’est pas évidemment
le genre de personnage

31
00:01:59,100 --> 00:02:01,600
le genre de liberté auxquels pense Richard.

32
00:02:01,700 --> 00:02:04,000
La troisième raison, c’est évidemment que

33
00:02:04,100 --> 00:02:06,700
pour des tas de questions
qui nous intéressent directement

34
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,000
dans cette maison autour
des humanités scientifiques

35
00:02:09,100 --> 00:02:11,700
la liaison entre les innovations techniques

36
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,700
et les dipositifs politiques
nous intéresse directement.

37
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,700
Donc nous avons au moins,
en tout cas moi à la direction scientifique

38
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:23,000
trois raisons de nous réjouir
de l’initiative du groupe d’élèves

39
00:02:23,100 --> 00:02:25,000
qui a organisé cette réunion

40
00:02:25,100 --> 00:02:28,000
et je suis heureux de laisser
la parole à Richard Stallman

41
00:02:28,100 --> 00:02:31,100
et je vous prie de l’applaudir avant qu’il ne parle.

42
00:02:37,700 --> 00:02:43,100
Aidez-nous à continuer les sous titres SVP !

43
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
il y a de multiples façons par lesquelles notre liberté est attaquée par les technologies numériques

44
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
les technologies numériques peuvent rendre les choses pires et elles le feront tant que nous ne nous batterons pas pour le prévenir

45
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So, projects with the goal of digital inclusion are making a big aassumption:

46
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
They are assuming that participating in a digital society is good.

47
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But that's not necessarily true!

48
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Being in a digital society can be good or bad depending on wether that digiatl society is just or unjust.

49
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And there are many ways in which our freedom is being attacked by digital technology.

50
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Digital technology can make things worse and it will unless we fight to prevent it.

51
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Therefor, if we have an unjust digital society we should cancel these projects for digital inclusion and launch projects for digital extraction.

52
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
We have to be - We have to extract people from digital society if it does not respect their freedom.

53
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Or we have to make it respect their freedom.

54
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So, what are the threats?

55
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
First: Surveillance.

56
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Computers are Stalin's dreams. They are ideal tools for surveillance because everything we do with computers, the computer can record.

57
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
They can record the information in a perfectly indexed and searchable form in a central database.

58
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Ideal for any tyran who want to crush opposition.

59
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Surveillance is sometimes done with our own computers.

60
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
For instance, if you have a computer that's running Microsoft Windows, that system is doing surveillance.

61
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
There are features in Windows that send data to some server.

62
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Data about the use of the computer.

63
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
A surveillance feature was discovered in the iPhone a few month ago and

64
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
people started to call it the SpyPhone.

65
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
FlashPlayer has a surveillance feature too and so does the Amazon "Swindle".

66
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
They call it the Kindle but I call it swindle ????? because it's meant to swindle users out of their freedom.

67
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It makes people identify themselves whenever they buy a book.

68
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And that means Amazon has a giant list of all the books each user has read ...

69
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And such a list must not exist anywhere.

70
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Most portable phone will transmit their location using - computed using GPS on remote command

71
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and the phone's company is accumulating a giant list of places that the user has been.

72
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
A German MP in a green party asked the phone company to give him the data it had about where he was.

73
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
He had to sue, to go to court, to get this information.

74
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
When he got it, he received 44000 location points for a period of 6 months.

75
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
That's more than 200 per day.

76
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So what that means is someone could form a very good picture of his activities just by looking at that data.

77
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Surveillance is also done - well

78
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
We can stop our own's computers from doing surveillance on us if we have control of the software that they run.

79
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But the software these people are running, they don't have control over it.

80
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Non free software ... and that's why it has malicious features such as the surveillance.

81
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
However, the surveillance is not always done with our own computers.

82
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It's also done at one remove (???).

83
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
For instance, ISPs in Europe are required to keep data about the user's internet communication for a long time

84
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
in case the state decides to investigate that person later for whatever immaginable reason.

85
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And with a portable phone, even if you can stop the phone from transmitting your GPS location,

86
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the system can determine the phone's location approximately by comparing when the signals arrive

87
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
at tdifferent towers. So the phone's system can do surveillance even without special cooperation from the phone itself.
