Internet Science, ricerca e Big Data

Nov. 6, 2013

Romantic Partnerships and the Dispersion of Social Ties: A Network Analysis of Relationship Status on Facebook http://arxiv.org/pdf/1310.6753v1.pdf A parte l'interesse al profilo sociologico, è significativo vedere come chi ha accesso ai Big Data può fare ricerche che altri non hanno l'opportunità di realizzare. Non a caso uno degli autori non appartiene ad un'università, ma è un dipendente di Facebook. In questo scenario dominato da (pochi) detentori di grandi masse di dati e relativi sistemi di analisi, emerge la criticità di continuare a condurre ricerche libere ed indipendenti, non solo per la carenza di fondi, ma anche per l'accesso ai dati. Non ho una risposta, ma vedo un problema in termini di indagine e competizione nella ricerca. AM

http://participedia.net/ Participedia is an open global knowledge community for researchers and practitioners in the field of democratic innovation and public engagement. About Participedia Also available in: Deutsch <http://participedia.net/de/ueber-participedia> /Participedia/ harnesses the power of collaboration to respond to a recent global phenomenon: the rapid development of experiments in new forms of participatory politics and governance around the world. We live in a world in which citizens of most countries are asking for greater involvement in collective decisions. Many governments, non-governmental organizations, and even some corporations are responding by experimenting with ways to increase public participation. Hundreds of thousands of participatory processes occur each year in almost every country in the world. They are occurring in a wide variety of political and policy problems. And they often supplement and sometimes compete with more traditional forms of politics, such as representative democracy. Participedia responds to these developments by providing a low-cost, easy way for hundreds of researchers and practitioners from across the globe to catalogue and compare the performance of participatory political processes. *Practitioners, activists, government officials, and journalists* will benefit from Participedia's searchable database of cases, methods, and organizations, including knowledge about how well processes have worked for similar problems, under similar conditions. *Social scientists, policy analysts, democratic theorists, and other scholars* will benefit from access to a dynamic, diverse, and growing source of comparable qualitative and quantitative data. We encourage you to contribute information on case studies, methods and organizations. The more you participate, the more you will appreciate what this site has to offer. The Participedia Team >> <http://participedia.net/content/team> The initial vision for Participedia was developed by Archon Fung (Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University) and Mark E. Warren (Department of Political Science, University of British Columbia), and is guided by an Executive Committee. This site was created by Drupal developers Affinity Bridge <http://affinitybridge.com> in partnership with the SIM Centre at Emily Carr <http://simcentre.ca>, with contributions from a wide range of collaborators. Find the full list of Executive Committee, web team and project collaborators here. >> <http://participedia.net/content/team> Partners >> <http://participedia.net/content/partners> Participedia reflects partnerships with people and organizations across the globe who share an interest in participatory politics and governance. Please contact us if you would like to discuss developing a partnership to support Participedia's global mission. View the full list of our current partners here <http://participedia.net/content/partners>. >> Generous support from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) made possible the development of this beta version of Participedia. This funding was provided in the form of a Partnership Development Grant, for two years beginning April 2011. In 2012, The Bertelsmann Foundation <http://www.bertelsmann-stiftung.de/cps/rde/xchg/SID-B507EC83-B34BA45D/bst_e…> provided generous support for development of multi-language functionality. Bertelsmann's investment in creating a German-language interface that is fully integrated in the main website platform will allow us to create an infrastructure that makes it possible to add many more languages.

Walzer: "La talpa Snowden è un eroe. Negli Usa la democrazia è a rischio"
by J.C. DE MARTIN Nov. 5, 2013

Walzer: "La talpa Snowden è un eroe. Negli Usa la democrazia è a rischio" /Il filosofo: "Anche il Congresso si sta svegliando e chiede un'inchiesta. Ci vogliono limiti precisi al programma di sorveglianza"/ /di ALIX VAN BUREN / 04 novembre 2013 "IN ogni governo, da sempre, esistono tendenze autoritarie: l'inclinazione ad accumulare potere, a usarlo nel segreto, in particolare negli Stati moderni. Il sistema di sorveglianza della Nsa ne è un esempio perfetto. Un refrain americano recita così: "L'eterna vigilanza è il prezzo della libertà". Ecco, quell'adagio è più valido che mai". Esaurito il preambolo, Michael Walzer, filosofo e saggista di etica politica, sbotta in una sonora risata: "C'è un lato comico in tutto questo. Al pensiero che l'America ascolti le conversazioni private dei leader europei, o 50 milioni di telefonate in Italia e Spagna, io mi chiedo cosa frulli per la testa dei responsabili. Se fanno tanto in Europa, figuriamoci in Cina? E quanti alla Nsa parlano il cinese? È una storia inverosimile, davvero". *Professore Walzer, la Nsa sostiene che il programma serva a salvare vite umane, a proteggere l'America. Controllare il telefonino di Angela Merkel, la cancelliera tedesca, o del francese Sarkozy fa parte della missione? * [...] Continua qui: http://www.repubblica.it/esteri/2013/11/04/news/datagate_michael_walzer_sno… *

Eben Moglen's series of talks "Snowden and the Future" at the Columbia Law School
by David Orban Nov. 5, 2013

Nov. 5, 2013

Esposizione estremamente chiara e appassionata Eben Moglen's series of talks "Snowden and the Future" at the Columbia Law School is a must see for those interested in decoding our societies' interaction with technology, and freedoms. http://snowdenandthefuture.info/ "What has Edward Snowden done to change the course of human history? How does the evolution of surveillance since World War II threaten democracy? What does it mean that information can be both so powerful and so easily spread? In a network embracing all of humanity, how does democracy survive our desire for security? Eben Moglen is the Founder of the Software Freedom Law Center, Columbia law professor and historian. He received the 2003 EFF pioneer award for his role in legalizing software encryption and defending free software. He was clerk to Justice Thurgood Marshall of the US Supreme Court during 1986–87." Two talks are already available as video, audio and text: http://snowdenandthefuture.info/PartI.html http://snowdenandthefuture.info/PartII.html Part 3 is going to be held on Nov 13, and Part 4 on Dec 4.

The Data Surveillance State in the US and Europe
by Alessandro Mantelero Nov. 5, 2013

Nov. 5, 2013

per chi fosse interessato The Data Surveillance State in the US and Europe Joel Reidenberg Princeton University - Center for Information Technology Policy; Fordham University School of Law November 2, 2013 Wake Forest Law Review, Forthcoming Abstract: The democracies on both sides of the Atlantic are trying to balance the legitimate needs of the law enforcement and intelligence communities to access online transactional data with the basic rights of citizens to be free from state intrusions on their privacy. From the recent revelations of massive collection of telecommunications data by the US government to the disclosures of the UK tapping transatlantic telecommunications cables, and of the Swedish government’s warrantless wiretap rules, national data surveillance seems to have few boundaries that the law has effectively protected. American law has generally focused on access restraints for government to obtain privately held information, ignored the collection and storage of data, and granted special privileges to national security actors. By contrast, Europe emphasizes rules related to the collection and retention of data and focuses less on due process obstacles for government access, while also giving government easier access for national security. In each system, the elusive linkage between retention and access, the privatization of state surveillance activity, and flawed oversight for national security create extensive transparency of citizen’s data and undermine values of democracy including the presumption of innocence, the state’s monopoly on law enforcement, and the zone of individual freedom. In effect, government data surveillance law in both Europe and the United States has reached a turning point for the future of information privacy online. Three proposals can help to secure privacy that is necessary to preserve democratic values: stricter retention limits must be combined with stronger access controls; government access to personal information must be logged and transparent to citizens; and government officials must be personally liable for over-reaching behavior.

WPost: "How we know the NSA had access to internal Google and Yahoo cloud data"
by J.C. DE MARTIN Nov. 4, 2013

Nov. 4, 2013

*How we know the NSA had access to internal Google and Yahoo cloud data** * BY BARTON GELLMAN, ASHKAN SOLTANI, AND ANDREA PETERSON November 4 at 3:03 pm The Washington Post reported last Wednesday that the National Security Agency has been tapping into the private links that connect Google and Yahoo data centers around the world. Today we offer additional background, with new evidence from the source documents and interviews with confidential sources, demonstrating that the NSA accessed data traveling between those centers. The background also helps explain the response of U.S. officials following the publication of the story. The U.S. government declined repeated requests to discuss the story beginning eight days before it was published. Since publication it has made four responses.
