R: Uno stato hacker di polizia

by avv. Monica Alessia Senor

Allo stato abbiamo decisamente troppe poche notizie per esprimere giudizi sul modus operandi della Procura nel caso Bisignani. In termini generali, però, possiamo dire che se loperazione Querela è stata autorizzata da un G.I.P. con le modalità previste dal codice di procedura penale a garanzia dellindagato in tema di intercettazioni di contenuti telematici, nulla quaestio. Diverso se, come accade - ahimè - di frequente negli ultimi tempi, loperazione è stata condotta solamente sulla base di un decreto del P.M. In tal caso, infatti, loperazione sarebbe inquadrabile nelle cd. perquisizioni on-line, le quali presentano palesi profili di violazione della libertà di comunicazione di cui allart.15 Cost., protetta con la doppia riserva di legge e di giurisdizione. Largomento, comunque, è assai articolato ed tanto più studiato in dottrina, quanto poco approfondito dalla giurisprudenza. Buona serata a tutti.

Si dirà che é solo l'evoluzione tecnologica delle intercettazioni, ma voi che ne pensate? http://www.repubblica.it/politica/2011/06/22/news/mail_spia_hacker-18041273/ ?ref=HRER1-1 ********************** The Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it.

But were all the stakeholders there? * *Crowdsourcing a new constitution <http://techpresident.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=8b4022bd4853e5600d5f…>* In the past few years Iceland, a small island closer to Greenland than to Europe, has been known mostly for the collapse of its economic system and for the eruption of its volcanoes. But despite the very difficult situation, the country firmly believes in public participation and in the power of social media to be *the* medium to better shape it. * *mySociety.org evaluation reports <http://techpresident.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=8b4022bd4853e5600d5f…>* After years of successful projects aimed at raising civic awareness, mySociety.org commissioned a detailed analysis of two of its most successful projects, TheyWorkForYou and WriteToThem.

The future of democracy
