That could block #public #access to more than 700 million White House emails, among countless other records, in Archives possession since the #law went into effect in 1978, Baron said.

…The impact of the #DOJ opinion could be felt quickly by #historians, #scholars & #journalists who regularly access presidential records & make requests for their release.

Recommended #documentary film.

Between 1952 and 1960, Britain fought a vicious war in Kenya against the anticolonial Mau Mau movement. It was an exceptionally bloody conflict, with atrocities committed on both sides. For decades, many of the worst abuses by British colonial forces were kept hidden. Piecing together survivor testimonies and expert analysis from British and Kenyan historians, this film tells a complete and detailed story for the first time of how Britain was involved in systemic torture – including accounts of murders, rapes and forced castrations.

A Very British Way of Torture is a film by Ed McGown and produced by Rob Newman.

#historians of #science and #computing, lately I've been seeing today's critics of AI suggesting the #intelligence in #artificialIntelligence can be more usefully understood as belonging in the framework of nation-state intelligence gathering.

Is there any indication that the founders of the field intended such an interpretation, or blurring of the definition of intelligence? The field was founded at the height of the #ColdWar after all.

#Sbeïtla, l’antique #Sufetula
Les origines de Sbeïtla sont encore obscures et aucun texte, aucune inscription n’éclaire sa fondation. On peut seulement tirer parti de son nom, puisque #Sufetula est un diminutif de #Sufes, qui désigne une cité voisine, distante d’une trentaine de kilomètres au Nord-Ouestde la #tunisie
