Here is a summary of what was said, not said, and how it reveals that these criticisms are absolutely right: https://www.laquadrature.net/en/why-the-eu-commissions-true-intent-is-to-ki… *** Ciao, Paolo

Many thanks and kind regards, Luca Luca Belli Doctorant en Droit PublicCERSA,Université Panthéon-AssasSorbonne University Background“Network neutrality” is an appealing and multifaceted expression which encompassesseveral areas and may give rise to misinterpretations. At its core, the notion of networkneutrality determines the extent to which Internet traffic management practices may beregarded as legitimate, insofar as they do not qualify as discriminatory practices and theyare consistent with the full enjoyment of human rights. Yet, throughout the last decade,this polysemous formula has acquired different meanings, invading the province oftelecommunications, content and security regulation.The network neutrality debate is gaining great political momentum. Indeed, manylegislators are currently scrutinizing the opportunity of elaborating and adoptinglegislation on network neutrality. While everyone agrees that end-users’ fundamentalrights have to be safeguarded, the question remains as to how this end could be achieved,and what are the consequences (if any) of network-management practices on such rights. CallThe Dynamic Coalition on Network Neutrality, created under the auspices of the UnitedNations Internet Governance Forum, invites researchers and practitioners to submit aposition paper on the issue of net neutrality and human rights. Position papers shouldprovide relevant background information together with one or more propositions on howto preserve fundamental human rights (such as the right to privacy or freedom ofexpression) on the Internet of tomorrow.Suggested topics include, inter alia:Implementation of the network neutrality principle:• How to approach network neutrality? Regulation or co-regulation?• Is fair competition a sufficient safeguard for fundamental rights?• Can current examples of network-neutrality legislation be deemed as efficient?• Is there a difference between “open Internet” and “neutral Internet”?Impact of network neutrality on human rights:• Analysis of network neutrality case-law: Current violations of the network neutralityprinciple and their impact on human rights• How to reconcile anti-network neutrality arguments with the protection of humanrights?• From gateways to gatekeepers: assessing the role of ISPs with regard to access toinformation.• Network neutrality and global access to the Internet: a “digital divide” issue• Digital democracy: the impact of network neutrality regulation on civic participation• Benefits and risks of Deep Packet Inspection as an Internet traffic managementtechniques NeutralityInternational trends and policy recommendations for the Internet of tomorrow Submission Guidelines:Submissions are due on September 15th, 2013.

TNW: "With 8PB synced already, BitTorrent launches Sync beta with versioning, one-way syncing, and an Android app"
by J.C. DE MARTIN July 17, 2013

July 17, 2013

*With 8PB synced already, BitTorrent launches Sync beta with versioning, one-way syncing, and an Android app* by Emil Protalinski <http://thenextweb.com/author/emilprotalinski/> BitTorrent today announced the open beta release of its file synchronization tool Sync, and the debut of an Android app. You can download the latest version now for Windows, Mac, and Linux over at labs.bittorrent.com as well as for Android from Google Play. The biggest addition in the beta is an archive capability for retrieving previous versions of synced files. Called SyncArchive, the feature is basic versioning brought to the BitTorrent world: the tool now includes a folder where you can see (and search for) all previous versions of your files. BitTorrent says this was one of two most requested features from its alpha users. The other was mobile apps. In fact, we were expecting both when we wrote about the last alpha release, so neither is a big surprise.

The internet of things

[...] The result is Cara, a system that's already under test in various retail stores and malls. Fashioned by a team of eight engineers at Sosa's New York-based startup, IMRSV <https://imrsv.com/>, this new-age creation uses simple cameras, including web cams, to detect faces and other discerning personal features, and the hope is that businesses can use this information to hone their operations, including, perhaps, tailoring digital advertisements to suit particular types of people.

il valore probatorio di una pagina web
by Simone Aliprandi July 15, 2013

July 15, 2013

Sollevo una questione a mio avviso centrale per il diritto di internet e che invece è lasciata troppo in secondo piano e quindi risulta poco nota anche a chi è tenuto a conoscerla per operare correttamente nella sua professione (avvocati, notai, giudici...): il valore probatorio di una pagina web. Quanti sono convinti che sia sufficiente fare una stampata o uno screenshot di una pagina per averne una prova solida? Alcune riflessioni sul tema in questo mio articolo: http://www.mysolutionpost.it/blogs/it-law/piana/pagina-web-prova.aspx Un cordiale saluto. -- Simone Aliprandi - http://www.aliprandi.org

Competitive value of data protection
by Alessandro Mantelero July 15, 2013

July 15, 2013

... per quanti interessati al tema. Competitive value of data protection: the impact of data protection regulation on online behaviour (International Data Privacy Law, 2013) Abstract The increasing demand from individuals to have their privacy respected or to take decisions about the management of their information assumes a significant role in business activities and it becomes an important element for building public trust in service providers. In this scenario, keeping the focus of data protection only on the individual and his or her decisions is no longer adequate. If legislators consider data protection as a fundamental right, it is necessary to reinforce its protection in order to make it effective and not conditioned by the asymmetries which characterize the relationship between data subject and data controllers. This aim is implemented by the EU proposal by means of three different instruments: data protection impact assessment, privacy by design/by default solutions, and the data minimization principle. The competitive value of data protection can be assured and enhanced only if the user’s self-determination over personal data is guaranteed. From this point of view, countering the phenomena of data lock-in and ‘social’ lock-in is fundamental in order to offer privacy-oriented and trustworthy services, which increase user propensity to share data and stimulate the digital economy and fair competition. qui il testo completo dell'articolo: https://mail.polito.it/Redirect/idpl.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/full/ip… -- Avv.
