Topics on Internet Censorship and Surveillance (TICS) #2: Call for Papers
by Vasilis July 6, 2019

July 6, 2019

* Topics on Internet Censorship and Surveillance (TICS) #2: Call for Papers * Online version: https://tics.site/cfp/ The 2nd TICS will focus on AI-assisted information controls. Collocated with the 18th IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on Web Intelligence (https://webintelligence2019.com) October 14, 2019, Thessaloniki, Greece. Abstract The ever-increasing demand for online content moderation and user profiling sees the adaptation of web intelligence concepts that were developed in good faith, into a censorship and surveillance apparatus owned by corporations and national agencies. Consequently, users are bound to an Orwellian Internet where mainstream platforms such as search engines, social media, and content providers place the blame for filter bubbles and extensive user behavioral analysis on artificial intelligence. This is alarming, since it is particularly difficult to distinguish between AI bias and deliberate human intervention. TICS aims to explore the technological, socio-economic, and legal means and driving forces behind these issues, and to propose alternative directions for building a semantic and human-centric web that promotes empowerment of individuals to decide on how their identities are or are not constructed and aggregated online. Topics The goal of TICS is to raise awareness around the implications of network interference, by inviting researchers from complementary disciplines to consider the effect of their own domain on online censorship and surveillance. Along those lines, we invite submissions that address the following topics: - Research on technologies and policies that build upon advancements on the field of web intelligence to imply blocking, limitation or distortion of the availability of network services and online content - The application of web intelligence concepts such as behavioral modeling, data mining, and social network analytics to target groups and individuals by law enforcement agencies and private corporations - The implications of algorithmic and AI-assisted user content classification (such as for identification of hatespeech, copyright, or disinformation) - Novel techniques that leverage web intelligence to defend netizens against censorship and surveillance, or privacy enhancements to the existing AI infrastructure to mitigate these threats - Measurement methodologies that detect network interference or content moderation based on crowd knowledge or web analytics - The socio-economic consequences and implementation limitations and fallacies of upload filters and recommendation systems - Business models and amendments to legal frameworks which promote the use of web intelligence in ways that build a pluralistic, private, and human-centric experience without violating user freedoms * Important dates * Paper Submission due: July 19th, 2019 July 10th, 2019 Notification to authors: Aug 15th, 2019 Final, camera ready papers, due: Aug 25th, 2019 Workshop date: Oct 14th, 2019 * Paper Submission * Paper Submission Page: https://wi-lab.com/cyberchair/2019/wi19/scripts/submit.php?subarea=S04&undi… Submitted papers should be limited to a maximum of 8 pages in the standard ACM 2-column format.

Call for Papers CPDP2020
by CPDP July 1, 2019

July 1, 2019

<http://2dsf1.r.ca.d.sendibm2.com/mk/cl/f/JChGAK9SkM28OGTjnkA3E4yOl_AlUnzeU3 1meHyQEYILE4ZBWomf-iuKX_N7a-_Mma5P6nv7-9YFff2lDMZcGgjJOBFspzGyRSYPV-TpTzIqPR sbcRKrl5xJPvH4uKGtTUzSs-mKGaGaw1w8q_I6OO5XFIVK8KBbZejWJZtUig> Call for Papers CPDP2020 - Data Protection and Artificial Intelligence CPDP is an annual three-day conference devoted to privacy and data protection. The 13th edition of CPDP will be held on 22-24 January 2020 in Brussels. Whilst a number of speakers are specifically invited by the conference, several slots remain open to application through an annual call for papers. The CPDP2020 Call for Papers is addressed to all researchers who wish to present their papers at the next Computers, Privacy and Data Protection conference. The call is split into two different tracks. The first is dedicated to experienced researchers (i.e. postdoctoral researchers, professors etc.), while the second welcomes PhD students and other junior researchers. Contributions are welcome from all disciplines with perspectives on the themes of the conference. The dual-track structure of the CPDP2020 Call for Papers aims to meet the increasing interest of researchers - from all levels and from multiple disciplines - in CPDP and their expectations in terms of academic feedback and exchange. Please submit your contribution through the EasyChair conference system through <http://2dsf1.r.ca.d.sendibm2.com/mk/cl/f/FzkbU5uQzCEbOwA0cZJt48B0PU27FhEsxn OvRbcauok35EhlyI0jBs9GkcnoS6kW3B7fQ_K-1Mw20AU_FShc6hEeRXFiSaLaJOPiF-RN649nPt 9jOum2zmCH_Bzmidj8WuGM20Ve2qjprccIP7FiwBO7FV0BUWYPYNOiemaL1t135fY0rcdWcAD9G8 kJUO-lCNn9yzWKO0aE> the following link <http://2dsf1.r.ca.d.sendibm2.com/mk/cl/f/b073flJPgVeweYxcI7wRdHRP261o5LmftT 5-Svd3N_rVefy8CdyBiBns737-6JJ7RQU5Evy1mGASA6dZV_VlW3lZg615_9ZG9pxTDTFF8bnZ2P -Ba7QXMS9dUkEWjgyeA8q7tmzK-GJMmKzQwxAWj5a8iYEr-gjek3e72uhDKXJXdCNsGiyEpBNfxQ pVaMthCKZQmHh6ixxmfmXJnHFy5GJiFzCzXg> . The overarching theme of the 2020 edition is "Data Protection and Artificial Intelligence". CPDP thus takes as its focus one of the most powerful technologies of the century. Investment and work on AI are accelerating at an unprecedented rate. In parallel, governments are moving to introduce regulation. What complications does AI add to the already fraught terrain of digital rights? Is the GDPR the panacea for all the legal issues arising in the age of AI? How meaningful is the concept of personal data in the face of systems which use hidden logic in identifying trends and behaviors? Are we ready for the application of AI in crime prevention? How can we best address the issues of social justice implicated by AI? Is AI the right framework to discuss the challenges of data-driven technologies? CPDP2020 will serve as a platform to discuss, and seek answers, to these questions and many more. We welcome cutting edge papers in all areas related to technology, privacy, and data protection, but particularly invite submissions that fit the general conference theme. RELEVANT FIELDS AND TOPICS The <http://2dsf1.r.ca.d.sendibm2.com/mk/cl/f/4WHZ2oDCsUb7IF_gTsZWPrGiuujDunhhAJ 3CNrbrp4k6Lw1yCTR17ve2sbceIIzQb6OoB6UUyVLFUF_J25m6FFL0m7PR1W8AdS6oZUjhBxRigW llfdmqusFBThzOVef-qGFmbNBVFMs3jkyYP8akRYIEJKP2gEF5zTG8zPAmkfH1jvsLutkaNSQ7Ib OrG1kQwaXyp91V0k8zy_t_GlUN7w> CPDP Scientific Committee invites papers in the fields of law, social sciences, philosophy and computer sciences (as well as other relevant fields). Multidisciplinary papers are especially welcome. In particular, this call aims to reach researchers whose works relate to new technologies, privacy and data protection. Selected researchers will have the valuable opportunity to present their papers in the conference academic sessions. The main theme highlighted this year is "Data Protection and Artificial Intelligence", but we welcome any original topics related to the general themes of the conference.

Re: Mozilla Tech Policy Fellowship Project on Net Neutrality and Data Protection in Nigeria
by Chukwuyere Izuogu June 10, 2019

June 10, 2019

Dear All, I trust you are all doing wellthis new year. For those of you who do not know(of) me, I am Chukwuyere Izuogu, a Solicitor and telecoms legal researcher. I presentlyhead the Abuja office of the law office of Streamsowers & Kóhn, and I am alsoa research fellow at the African Academic Network on Internet Policy (ANNoIP),where my practice and research is in all areas of competition, telecommunications,information technology and intellectual property law. In September of 2018, I commenceda Tech Policy Fellowship with the Mozilla Foundation where I will be conductingpolicy/academic research and engaging stakeholders on issues related to netneutrality and data protection in Nigeria. As these are topical publicpolicy issues which are consistent with the work you and your organizations areinvolved in, I deem it important to inform you at this time of my fellowshipwork and keep you updated on the progress. Upon completion of my fellowshipresearch a Mozilla sponsored workshop will be held probably in Abuja where theoutcome of my researches would be made available to an enlarged stakeholdergroup and community members, as my intention is to see how these researches canalso be incorporated into each of your advocacy work in this space. As time goes on, I am likely torequire your input in clarifying several issues concerning my policy researches.In addition, I would be happy to respond to any question any of you may haveabout my fellowship work and the status so far. All the best in 2019! I remain, Chuks.

Call for Panels – Computers, Privacy and Data Protection (CPDP) 2020
by Imge Ozcan June 3, 2019

June 3, 2019

This might be of interest to some on the list. Best, Imge *Call for Panels: CPDP2020 – Data Protection and Artificial Intelligence https://www.cpdpconferences.org/call-for-panels <https://www.cpdpconferences.org/call-for-panels>* This call for panels is aimed at academic consortia, research projects, think tanks and other research organisations. (Another call, to individuals for academic research papers, will go out towards the end of June 2019). For the 2020 edition, CPDP <https://www.cpdpconferences.org/> takes as its focus one of the most powerful technologies of this century: Artificial Intelligence. Investment and work in AI are accelerating at an unprecedented rate while governments in several countries are swinging into action to regulate AI. What complications does AI add to the already fraught terrain of digital rights? Is the GDPR the panacea for all the legal issues arising in the age of AI? How meaningful is the concept of personal data in the face of systems which work with the logic of identifying hidden trends and behaviour and affect large groups? How can we best address the issues of social justice implicated by AI? Is AI the right framework to discuss the challenges of data-driven technologies? CPDP2020 will serve as a platform to discuss and seek answers to such questions and more. We welcome cutting edge panels in all areas related to technology, privacy and data protection, but particularly invite proposals that fit the general conference theme. We particularly seek panel proposals addressing the following topics: - Regulating AI - AI in law enforcement and/or national security - AI in the public sector - Facial recognition and other AI driven video surveillance systems - AI and sentiment analysis - Deepfakes, news generators and AI-manipulated media - AI and gender - AI bias and discrimination - AI and social justice - AI and healthcare - AI and children’s privacy - AI personhood and posthuman rights - Voice-based agents, robots, and social bots We encourage panels that are well-balanced, multidisciplinary, geographically and gender diverse. We also welcome different types of sessions such as debates, roundtables, workshops and other non-conventional formats. More information about rules for panel composition and submission can be found here <https://www.cpdpconferences.org/call-for-panels>. Please note: chosen institutions, organisations or EU research projects will become CPDP2020 event partners. This implies that the event partner is able to finance all costs of the panel speakers (travel and lodging) in addition to paying a conference contribution of €1200. In return, the event partner will be granted a number of benefits such as logo recognition, conference bag insert and full conference registration for the panelists. Organizations such as nonprofits for whom the panel fee would cause financial hardship can get in touch after submitting their panel proposal. ‍ Panel proposals should be submitted through the online form here <https://www.cpdpconferences.org/call-for-panels#form>. Please fill in the form as completely as possible. *Key Dates* - *Final panel submission/suggestion: *Sunday, 16th June 2019 - *Notification sent to panel convenors: *Monday, 8th July 2019 - *Panel organisation finalised: *Friday, October 18th, 2019 - *Dates of CPDP 2020:* 22nd to 24th January, 2020 *Contact * If you have an innovative idea for the set up of a panel or workshop or have any questions regarding potential panel topics, please contact the organisers at info(a)cpdpconferences.org.

CfP: Money talks? The impact of corporate funding on academic research in information law and policy
by Bodó, Balázs May 16, 2019

May 16, 2019

Dear colleagues, NoC Nodes, hubs and centers! In October 23, 2019 the Institute of Information Law will host the next meeting for the European Hub of the Global Network of Centers for Internet and Society (NoC). We dedicate the event to explore the impact of corporate funding on information society related research. The call is below, and here: https://www.ivir.nl/call-for-papers-money-talks-the-impact-of-corporate-fun… I kindly invite all of you to submit proposals for presentations, panels and other forms of interventions! Please also feel free to forward the CfP to your networks. See you in Amsterdam! b.- Call for papers, workshops, roundtables, action on - Money talks? The impact of corporate funding on academic research in information law and policy An event by the European Hub of the Global Network of Centers for Internet and Society (NoC), organized by the Institute for Information Law, University of Amsterdam October 23, Wednesday 2019, Amsterdam Introduction Concerns about the corporate funding of scientific research, and about the presence of corporate sponsors in scientific events are not an exceptional issue in the academic field. For decades, scientific domains like medicine, climate<https://www.pnas.org/content/early/2015/11/18/1509433112.short> research, health<https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0175643> and nutrition<https://www.bmj.com/content/353/bmj.i2161> science have been struggling with controversies<https://www.ucsusa.org/disguising-corporate-influence-science-about-sugar-a…> and dilemmas around the direct and indirect impact of corporate funding<https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/0162243912456271> on the quality of their scholarship, integrity, independence, both actual, and as perceived by others. Research in the domain of the information society is not immune to these controversies. For example, the emerging giants of the information society are active research funders, and promote academic research as a way to influence public policy, or at least are perceived to do so. The information industry is also increasingly in exclusive control of fundamental research resources, such as data, or technology design. The 2017 Campaign for Accountability<https://campaignforaccountability.org/new-report-reveals-googles-extensive-…> (CA) controversy perfectly captures the complexity of the situation this creates around science. CA was apparently set out to identify Google’s influence on information policy research and (controversially) identified 329 research papers on public policy matters that were directly or indirectly funded by the search company. Only later it turned out that one of the funders of CA was Oracle<http://fortune.com/2016/08/19/google-transparency-project-2/>, which at the same time was fighting Google in Court, and perceived CA as part of that effort. In September 2018 a wide group of academics raised concerns<https://fundingmatters.tech/> about the role of surveillance technology company Palantir as sponsor of academic events on data privacy. The subsequent debate raised important questions about the dimensions in which different corporations active in the online world should be critically assessed, and the terms on which science can engage with them. The growing concerns about the influence of corporate funding of academic research in all disciplines can be attributed to the effects of several connected factors. For a number of financial, political and social reasons there is a significant pressure on academics to be entrepreneurial, and attract and pursue funding from private sources<https://doi.org/10.1177/0162243915576004>. Large corporations have been responding to this situation with often substantial amounts of funding, and various forms of collaborations. On the other hand, access to private funders and corporate sponsors may carry benefits: corporate participation is a prerequisite of a substantive and inclusive dialogue on contentious issues and policy developments. It can also foster collaborations, and provide scientists access to information, data, people, which would otherwise remain beyond reach. However, the intentions of corporations to invest in academic research are not always transparent. Some consider it to be relatively harmless when corporate sponsorship is motivated by the desire to associate their brand with academia, or to contribute to society to boost the public company image. Others claim that corporations may decide to fund research with malevolent intentions in order to influence the public debate, or pursue some hidden agenda. It often remains unclear for the public what motivates a company to fund academic research. Corporate sponsorship may be seen as suspicious, and detrimental to the results of the scientific outcomes, even if it was done with the right motivation, an ultimately it may also have an impact on the public trust in science. In order to prevent a conflict of interest and to ensure objectivity and transparency in research, institutions<https://ec.europa.eu/info/research-and-innovation/strategy/support-policy-m…> and governments have been developing<https://www.vsnu.nl/en_GB/news-items/nieuwsbericht/471-new-netherlands-code…> policies<http://archives.esf.org/media-centre/ext-single-news/article/the-european-c…> and guidelines<https://www.knaw.nl/nl/thematisch/ethiek/wetenschappelijke-integriteit> to foster integrity. The resulting codes of conducts are based on several widely supported fundamental principles which are translated into more specific standards for good research practices. The European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity<http://goo.gl/WRuVz>, for instance, is built around four principles: reliability, honesty, respect and accountability. Yet, it remains to be seen how effectively such international<https://www.knaw.nl/shared/resources/thematisch/bestanden/MontrealStatement…>, European, national, and domain specific codes of conducts can be monitored, and enforced, and how effective they can be in safeguarding both the integrity of research, and it’s public perception. Recent events and the call for an action-oriented discussion on corporate sponsorship therefore warrant the impact of corporate funding on academic research as the theme for the next meeting for the European Hub of the Global Network of Centers for Internet and Society (NoC). The conference strives to bring together scholars within the information law discipline, as well as related fields to discuss questions such as: Understanding the problem: the scope, structure, amount, topics and beneficiaries of corporate funding in research ● How big corporate influence is in the first place? How much money are we talking about? ● What are the forms of (corporate) research funding, such as financial support, funded positions, data access, etc.? ● What drives corporate funding decisions? Internal safeguards of research independence and integrity ● What are the best ways to safeguard research independence and integrity? ● Are the current principles and safeguards that guide engagement with corporate sponsors and funders adequate? ● What are the limitations of current integrity safeguards? Is there room for improvement? ● Are there specific/additional principles that should to inform such engagement in the area of information law and policy? ● Does it make sense to differentiate between different forms of sponsoring (institutional/project, in-kind/access/money)? Interfaces and firewalls between academia and industry ● What kind of integrity-infrastructure does academia need for the future where more and more essential resources are going to be in the exclusive control of corporations? ● What legal and policy innovations are needed to ensure due access to privately held or controller data sources? ● How could standards be set for the acceptance of corporate funding? What are the existing methods of standard setting? ● What is a proper way to signal the company support without creating the impression of industry research? The impact of corporate funding ● How to manage public trust in academia which is increasingly funded by private parties? ● What are the effects of increased acceptance of private funding of academic research on government spending on science? ● Are some geographies, institutions, and initiatives more dependent on, or more exposed to corporate funding? How to address these differences? ● Are there neglected research topics because they do not attract corporate funding? ● How to deal with public funding from authoritarian regimes? We welcome individual paper proposals and panel and workshop proposals, and other forms of interventions and actions. Please submit paper abstracts, and panel proposals of no more than a 1000 words to the following email address: money.talks(a)ivir.nl<mailto:money.talks@ivir.nl> by July 1st, 2019. Acceptance decisions will be communicated in about a month. ---------------------------------------- Balázs Bodó, PhD research scientist Institute for Information Law, University of Amsterdam http://www.ivir.nl/ Blockchain & Society Policy Research Lab https://blockchain-society.science/
