https://www.wired.com/story/zello-app-turned-blind-eye-to-jihadis-for-years/

quote:

IN THE EARLY morning of September 9, 2016, Bill Moore, CEO of the Austin-based walkie-talkie app company Zello, contacted the Middle East Media Research Institute. He was seeking a copy of a report MEMRI had recently published describing how ISIS members and supporters were using Zello, which allows people to send voice messages to each other in private and also public channels. Moore had learned about the findings through a Google Alert.

“Can you share a copy of the report explaining ISIS uses Zello? I'm the CEO of Zello,” the message read, according to emails reviewed by WIRED and confirmed by Moore and MEMRI.

Hours later, MEMRI deputy director Elliot Zweig sent him the report. While MEMRI hadn't collected actual messages, its findings included screenshots of Zello users whose avatars featured photos of ISIS’s iconic black flags, and public channels with names like “Islamic State Channel.” One channel called simply “Jihad.” described itself this way: “For the Brothers who desire to be with Mujahideen & to talk about Jihad and Islam.” Some of the channels had been advertised by ISIS sympathizers on another encrypted app, Telegram. The list wasn't comprehensive, and didn't reference any specifically troubling conversations; it was just a snapshot of accounts and channels MEMRI found easily at the time.

In his response, Zweig offered to connect Moore with the executive director of MEMRI, Steven Stalinsky. When he heard nothing back, Zweig extended the offer again. This time, Moore replied: “Confirming receipt, thank you very much. No need from our side to discuss now.”

A few weeks later, Zweig tried one more time. “We note that the ISIS and other jihadi accounts mentioned in our report are still active on your service, and would like to again offer the opportunity for a briefing/conversation with our executive director,” he wrote.

Moore never got back in touch—that is, until just last week, when MEMRI published yet another report showing that nearly all of the channels it flagged in 2016 were still live.

i assume google’s legal team will respond with “please actually put more than 15s of thought into what is included in this warrant”

there’s been articles about these sort of ridiculous requests and usually there’s a follow up a few days later about how they are narrowing the warrant

The truth is that the aging are currently an afterthought in technology design. As FaceTime has supplanted Skype as a way to video-chat with family, desktop users have lost out. As mobile banking has replaced the branch, customers who rely on brick-and-mortar banks face new burdens to safeguard their money. As companies have moved to automated “chatbots” instead of live human phone support, the aging can find it frustrating to access automated services from phone installation to travel planning. Apple’s app store offers guidance and features to support accessible apps, but it doesn’t enforce these guidelines on app-makers.

The example of Uber and Lyft is particularly illustrative. For aging Americans on fixed incomes and unable to drive, the arrival of a low-cost competitor to taxi services should have been a big win. Yet the new ride-sharing services also rolled back accessibility features historically offered by taxi companies – for example, the ability to hail a ride by calling from a landline phone, the availability of cars and vans fitted for wheelchairs, and (at least initially) the ability to arrange a ride in advance. As Uber and Lyft reduced the number of traditional taxis, many seniors have faced longer wait times and less predictability – a trend that will likely continue.

Yet under pressure from activists and regulators, both companies have taken positive steps to bring the aging and disabled into their customer base. Under the threat of a ban in London, Uber made wheelchair-accessible vehicles available at the same price as ordinary Uber rides. Yet in other cities, Uber has offered only half-measures – the wheelchair-accessible option in Washington, D.C., for instance, simply calls an accessible D.C. taxi and tacks on a $2 fee. In San Francisco, the accessible option is available in the app but often supported by zero cars on the road. And in most cities, there’s no accessible option at all.
