CALL FOR PAPERS Conference for E-Democracy and Open Government http://www.donau-uni.ac.at/cedem DEADLINE for Submission: 1 December 2010 CeDEM11 presents the following Tracks: E-PARTICPATION with co-chairs: Julia Glidden (21C Consulting, UK) and Jeremy Millard (Danish Technological Institute, DK) OPEN GOVERNMENT with co-chairs: Philipp Müller (University of Salzburg, Business School, AT) and Axel Bruns (Queensland University of Technology, AUS) E-VOTING with co-chairs: Melanie Volkamer (Technical University Darmstadt, GER) and Thad Hall (University of Utah, USA) OPEN DATA and OPEN ACCESS with co-chair: Andy Williamson (Hansard Society, UK) During the last 10 years, the world has focused on social media and the new forms of societal behaviour, including content generation, collaboration and sharing as well as network organisation. These behaviours and expectations, in particular transparency and access to data, new ways of interacting with government and democratic institutions will continue to develop, and profound changes in society are to be expected. Society has been confronted with Open Government, Open Data and Open Access. What have the experiences been so far? How do these impact society, democratic structures and organisations? What changes occur at citizen level? What are the implications for democracy, society, science and business? DEADLINE for Submissions: 1 December 2010 We would like to invite individuals from academic, applied and practitioner backgrounds as well as public authorities, NGO/NPOs, education institutions and independent organisations to submit their research and project papers as well as workshop proposals related to the CeDEM11 Tracks.

Re: [nexa] Facebook strikes again

Caro David, dici bene con l'esempio del profiling. Dal punto di vista giuridico, la questione ruota attorno all'art. 14 della direttiva sull'e-commerce, e come l'automatismo della tecnica impatti sulla "neutralità" dell'ISP. Come riferito il 23 marzo 2010 dalla Corte di giustizia nel caso Google vs. Louis Vuitton, in order to establish whether the liability of a referencing service provider may be limited under Article 14 of Directive 2000/31, it is necessary to examine whether the role played by that service provider is neutral, in the sense that its conduct is merely technical, automatic and passive, pointing to a lack of knowledge or control of the data which it stores (§ 114 della sentenza). Di qui, almeno secondo la Corte, bisogna partire per capire se "profilare" qualcuno (con il suo consenso) sia lecito. Sulla pervicacia di Facebook, ricordo solo le sue 170 differenti opzioni per 50 settings per la privacy degli utenti (prima dell'annuncio ufficiale di maggio)...

Tech Review: "Censorship Circumvention Tools Aren't Widely Used"

by J.C. DE MARTIN

Monday, October 18, 2010 *Censorship Circumvention Tools Aren't Widely Used* *Users in authoritarian regimes either don't know about them or aren't interested.* By Erica Naone Tech humanitarians have put a lot of effort into producing tools like Tor and Freegate that can be used to access the Internet freely from anywhere, fighting the restrictions placed by the governments of such countries as China and Iran. But according to a new study from the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University, not many people are using the tools. What's more, the researchers found that the most popular circumvention tools aren't the ones designed to protect dissidents. Instead, most of the people who are avoiding censorship restrictions are using simple proxies to do so, which connect users to blocked content but don't typically take steps to conceal the identity of the person accessing the information. The researchers are now working to figure out how to encourage adoption of the tools that better protect people. The researchers found that in countries that filter the Internet heavily, no more than 3 percent of the Internet-using population turns to censorship circumvention tools to get around restrictions. And even this estimate is high, they say. It's hard to measure usage under these circumstances, and the figures may include people who aren't in countries where Internet traffic is filtered. The numbers might also count people multiple times if they use multiple tools. "It's a worrying finding," says Ethan Zuckerman <http://ethanzuckerman.com/>, one of the lead authors of the report and cofounder of the blogging advocacy group Global Voices. "I think those of us in countries where Internet access is virtually unfettered tend to assume that there would be massive, pent-up demand to access blocked content. But it's easy to forget--it's hard to want what you don't know about and have never had. [...] Continua qui: http://www.technologyreview.com/web/26574/?nlid=3655

Re: [nexa] Facebook strikes again

by David Orban

L'analisi di Wall Street Journal dal punto di vista tecnico, secondo me, non è sconvolgente: i referer esistono da sempre, così come la possibilità di mettere o meno parametri in chiaro negli url. Educare gli utenti va bene, alzare un polverone, che mi sembra più l'obiettivo di WSJ, meno. Anche perché, possedendo News Corp oltre a WSJ anche MySpace, sicuramente deve mirare a dare un'immagine di imparzialità. (Rapleaf in particolare, che seguo da tempo, è stata secondo me sfortunata nell'essere presa di mira nell'articolo: il suo lavoro *è* la profilazione degli utenti. Come potrebbe farla senza profilarli?)
