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.

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/

Dear Internet users, researchers, and activists, dear friends and colleagues, The Internet never forgets ... and on the Internet, nobody knows you are a dog ... Is the Internet a dangerous place ruled by bots? Are states the enemies of a free Internet? Do human rights apply online? Is there a future for the Global South on the Internet? Are data monopolies unstoppable? And is the Internet full of fake news? Or is all the talk about fake news actually fake news? We have been commissioned to edit a book busting these and other common Internet myths ("Busted! The Truth About the 50 Most Common Internet Myths <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JqnwcB56ae7N0jc7CrvscGZKaRDWq_mZEZXO9LI…>"). It will be published in English and German this fall in the run-up to the Internet Governance Forum in Berlin 2019, both online and in print and will be widely distributed, including to all IGF participants on-site. At this stage we ask you to help us identify the most common Internet myths, that is misconceptions (accidental or on purpose) about the impact and reality of the internet and internet-based communication in the wider sense. We are looking for the most popular (or unpopular) Internet myths. After collecting 100 of them we will get back to you and vote on which 50 myths should make it into the book. Please enter your suggestions using this form <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScm0b9LOjSO-PrJzu4eNDMSLhJrSOeLvrn…> by Tuesday, 21 May 2019. Do you feel like you could write the debunking story (around 450 words, by 15 July 2019), too? Then please add this as well in the form. Do you know of someone who could be an Internet mythbuster? Then feel free to forward them this invitation. In the age of uncertainty, we invite you to participate in an exciting book that seeks to make Internet myths a thing of the past.

new book: The Psychology of Social Media
by Ciarán Mc Mahon April 15, 2019

April 15, 2019

Dear Netsociety, I have a book on the way which I hope will be of interest to this list’s subscribers. The Psychology of Social Media <https://www.routledge.com/9781138047754> is available for pre-order and will be published on April 16 - a short, accessible read for the interested undergrad/general public readership, as part of Routledge's 'The Psychology of Everything <https://www.routledgetextbooks.com/textbooks/thepsychologyofeverything/> ' series. What’s my book about? I’ve attached a flyer (with discount code!) but here’s the blurb: Are we really being ourselves on social media? Can we benefit from connecting with people we barely know online? Why do some people overshare on social networking sites?　 The Psychology of Social Media explores how so much of our everyday lives is played out online, and how this can impact our identity, wellbeing, and relationships. It looks at how our online profiles, connections, status updates, and sharing of photographs can be a way to express ourselves and form connections, but also highlights the pitfalls of social media including privacy issues. >From FOMO to fraping, and from subtweeting to selfies, The Psychology of Social Media shows how social media has developed a whole new world of communication, and for better or worse is likely to continue to be an essential part of how we understand our selves. Furthermore, you can request an inspection copy here for use in teaching https://www.routledge.com/resources/compcopy/9781138047754 Thank you for your time, and apologies for cross-posting. Ciarán Mc Mahon PS anyone in Dublin on May 8th, do join us for a glass of wine at the launch! thepsychologyofsocialmedia.eventbrite.com <http://thepsychologyofsocialmedia.eventbrite.com/> Preorder the book: <http://bit.ly/psychologyofsocialmedia> bit.ly/psychologyofsocialmedia <http://www.twitter.com/cjamcmahon> twitter.com/cjamcmahon <https://ie.linkedin.com/in/cjamcmahon> linkedin.com/cjamcmahon <https://tinyletter.com/cjamcmahon> tinyletter.com/cjamcmahon <http://www.ciaranmcmahon.ie/> www.ciaranmcmahon.com

Research collaboration
by Contato IRIS April 15, 2019

April 15, 2019

Dear all, Our research team at the Institute for Research on Internet & Society (IRIS <http://irisbh.com.br>) is developing an inquiry about regulatory anti-money laundering measures concerning cryptocurrency services which will integrate a research paper to be launched in 2019. Our goal is to get to know the status of regulation on the subject and countries’ compliance with international standards. We also have an interest in knowing the approach towards cryptocurrencies in countries where there is not a regulation yet. Because of the language barrier, we are counting on the international research network to aid us with information from each nation. Thus, attached is a link to a form with 4-9 questions on cryptocurrencies and AML regulation, which takes up to 5 minutes to answer, in case the info is previously gathered. Your contribution is very welcome and we will credit you in our paper. If you have any doubts, please, fell free to contact us. Best regards, https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSch9HrhA58w-SH6I9I1qFJ3EqhAc2KpRQN…
