Geek Feminism Wiki: "Who is harmed by a "Real Names" policy?"
by J.C. DE MARTIN April 18, 2012

April 18, 2012

Who is harmed by a "Real Names" policy? This page lists groups of people who are disadvantaged by any policy which bans Pseudonymity <http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Pseudonymity> and requires so-called "Real names" (more properly, legal names). This is an attempt to create a comprehensive list of groups of people who are affected by such policies. The cost to these people can be vast, including: * harassment, both online and offline * discrimination in employment, provision of services, etc. * actual physical danger of bullying, hate crime, etc. * arrest, imprisonment, or execution in some jurisdictions * economic harm such as job loss, loss of professional reputation, reduction of job opportunity, etc. * social costs of not being able to interact with friends and colleagues * possible (temporary) loss of access to their data if their account is suspended or terminated The groups of people who use pseudonyms, or want to use pseudonyms, are not a small minority (some of the classes of people who can benefit from pseudonyms constitute up to 50% of the total population, and many of the others are classes of people that almost everyone knows). However, their needs are often ignored by the relatively privileged <http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Privilege> designers and policy-makers who want people to use their real/legal names.

Wired: "Going With The Flow: Google’s Secret Switch To The Next Wave Of Networking"
by J.C. DE MARTIN April 17, 2012

Going With The Flow: Google’s Secret Switch To The Next Wave Of Networking * By Steven Levy <http://www.wired.com/wiredenterprise/author/steven-levy/> * April 17, 2012 | * 11:45 am In early 1999, an associate computer science professor at UC Santa Barbara climbed the steps to the second floor headquarters of a small startup in Palo Alto, and wound up surprising himself by accepting a job offer. Even so, Urs Hölzle <http://research.google.com/pubs/author79.html> hedged his bet by not resigning from his university post, but taking a year-long leave. He would never return. Hölzle became a fixture in the company — called Google. As its czar of infrastructure, Hölzle oversaw the growth of its network operations from a few cages in a San Jose co-location center to a massive internet power; a 2010 study by Arbor Networks concluded that if Google was an ISP it would be the second largest in the world (the largest is Tier 3 <http://www.level3.com/en/about-us/company-information/company-history/>, which services over 2,700 major corporations in 450 markets over 100,000 fiber miles.)

cassazione civile (5525/2012) e diritto all'oblio
by Marina Caporale April 17, 2012

April 17, 2012

Salve, mi sembra non sia venuta fuori negli ultimi messaggi e quindi segnalo (e non allego in quanto facilmente reperibile online) la sentenza Cass. 5525/2012 sul diritto all'oblio, che (con qualche simpatico refuso nella versione originale: "Garante dei beni personali"? ma non solo, e qualche lirismo "il mare di internet") stabilisce che gli editori che rendano disponibili online i loro archivi storici devono predisporre un sistema che consenta "il rapido ed agevole accesso da parte degli utenti" alle notizie relative agli eventuali sviluppi della vicenda (se la notizia originaria è: "arrestato", rendere disponibile ed evidente il link alle notizie riferite, ad es., alla effettiva condanna o meno...), con varie implicazioni, Marina Caporale

NYT: "The Cybercrime Wave That Wasn’t"
by J.C. DE MARTIN April 17, 2012

April 17, 2012

Con la speranza che prima o poi i giornalisti italiani la smettano di sbattere in prima pagina le veline apocalittiche (pour cause) delle aziende di security. juan carlos April 14, 2012 The Cybercrime Wave That Wasn’t By DINEI FLORÊNCIO and CORMAC HERLEY IN less than 15 years, cybercrime has moved from obscurity to the spotlight of consumer, corporate and national security concerns. Popular accounts suggest that cybercrime is large, rapidly growing, profitable and highly evolved; annual loss estimates range from billions to nearly $1 trillion. While other industries stagger under the weight of recession, in cybercrime, business is apparently booming. Yet in terms of economics, there’s something very wrong with this picture. Generally the demand for easy money outstrips supply. Is cybercrime an exception? If getting rich were as simple as downloading and running software, wouldn’t more people do it, and thus drive down returns? We have examined cybercrime from an economics standpoint and found a story at odds with the conventional wisdom. A few criminals do well, but cybercrime is a relentless, low-profit struggle for the majority. Spamming, stealing passwords or pillaging bank accounts might appear a perfect business. Cybercriminals can be thousands of miles from the scene of the crime, they can download everything they need online, and there’s little training or capital outlay required. Almost anyone can do it. Well, not really [...] Continua qui: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/15/opinion/sunday/the-cybercrime-wave-that-w…
