The applications of ICTs could support the city’s governing body in enabling new models of sustainable development. Moreover the ICTs are instrumental for the city’s governing body to engage with their citizens and listen to their needs when developing the city. In other words, the Internet paradigm is compelling the local governments to consider the use of ICTs to make the governance of a city more inclusive, collaborative, efficient and effective. Indeed this is a right path toward the development of Smart Cities. Objective In this Special Issue on ICTs, Citizens and Governance of Smart Cities, we aim to explore the role of ICTs to foster the citizens engagement and to improve the governance of Smart Cities, by calling for theoretical and empirical research studies on developed and developing countries worldwide. Recommended Topics Topics to be discussed in this special issue include (but are not limited to) the following: ICT to Improve government accountability, transparency and responsiveness in the Smart City ICT to Enable the democratic control in the Smart City ICT to Promote citizens self-empowerment, social participation and engagement ICT to Build the next generation of empowered civil servants of the Smart City ICT to Fostering innovation, efficiency and effectiveness in government of the Smart City ICT as game changer of public policy design and implementation ICT to Create value for the economy and businesses of the Smart City ICT as catalyst of new form of impact driven entrepreneurship in Smart City ICT as purveyor of bottom-up funding schemes in Smart Cities Open Government Data to precipitate the smart evolution of Cities Citizens’ acceptance and adoption of e-government initiatives Policy and regulation for ICT in the governance of Smart Cities Submission Procedure Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit papers for this special theme issue on or before December 15, 2015 to http://bit.ly/1NrqJ1r (third CFP from the top).

Re: [nexa] U.S. Judge Rules Microsoft Must Produce Emails Held Abroad

by Alberto Cammozzo

Ancora sulla questione che definirà la "territorialità " dei dati in rete, almeno per gli US. Un interessante commento sulle attuali posizioni: <https://www.justsecurity.org/25901/microsoft-warrant-case-policy-issues/> [] If Microsoft wins, governments will be incentivized to require that their citizens and residents store their data locally, so as to ensure jurisdiction over—and thus access to—the data. If successful, this will have significant costs to the efficiency and effectiveness of the Internet as a whole. Conversely, the government’s position is also flawed, arguably creating more problems than it solves. It marks the beginning to the end of sovereign control over privacy within its borders. The United States is not the only government asserting broad authority to compel data, wherever located. The United Kingdom says that it can compel companies to produce data, wherever located, so long as the company is operating in its jurisdiction. Brazil has considered similar legislation, and other nations are following suit. While United States’ law currently prohibits U.S.-based companies from complying with such foreign government requests when content, such as the substance of one’s emails, is involved, it contains no similar restrictions on foreign government access to non-content information—such as subscriber information, time and duration of sessions, to/from lines on emails, and IP addresses. Transparency reporting indicates the governments receive, and respond to, tens of thousands of requests for such non-content information from foreign governments every year. As our lives become increasingly digitalized, the volume of such requests will only increase over time. As will the scope of information that can be learned from such data.[] Pressione sul legislatore anche da parte dei magistrati: <http://thehill.com/policy/technology/253197-appeals-judge-goads-congress-du…> E una proposta di legge US in discussione: The Law Enforcement Access to Data Stored Abroad Act <https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/114/s512/text> []This Act authorizes the use of search warrants extraterritorially only where the Government seeks to obtain the contents of electronic communications belonging to a United States person.[] ciao, Alberto On 11/09/2015 09:14, Alberto Cammozzo wrote: > La questione prende spessore: > > Microsoft case: DoJ says it can demand every email from any US-based > provider > > <http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/sep/09/microsoft-court-case-hotm…> > > > The United States government has the right to demand the emails of > anyone in the world from any email provider headquartered within US > borders, Department of Justice (DoJ) lawyers told a federal appeals > court on Wednesday. > The case being heard in the second circuit court of appeals is between > the US and Microsoft and concerns a search warrant that the government > argues should compel Microsoft to retrieve emails held on a Hotmail > server in Ireland. > Microsoft contends that the DoJ has exceeded its authority with > potentially dangerous consequences.

Re: [nexa] Links

Gentile Signora, come moderatore di questa lista da numerosi anni ho a che fare coi suoi tentativi di postare in lista link o riflessioni che esulano dall'argomento della lista stessa (Internet & società). Dopo molti inviti ad attenersi al tema, avevo quindi messo il suo indirizzo email in moderazione, operazione che ora sono costretto a ripetere per questo suo nuovo indirizzo email.

Il blocco dei siti per ragioni di copyright vìola la direttiva 31/2000 sul Commercio Elettronico.

by Fulvio Sarzana

l blocco dei siti per ragioni di copyright, attraverso gli ISP, anche se adottato in sede giudiziale, vìola la <http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CELEX:32000L0031:IT:H TML> Direttiva 2000/31, sul Commercio Elettronico. , e si deve ritenere non conforme alla Costituzione Ellenica ( Art 5° della Costituzione). E quanto ha stabilito la Corte distrettuale di Atene nella sentenza 13478/2015. Alcune Associazioni di tutela del diritto dautore, che gestiscono i diritti dautore greci ed i diritti connessi, hanno presentato uningiunzione preliminare contro gli Internet Service Provider Provider (ISP) nel 2014 davanti allAlta Corte di Atene. I provider sono stati chiamati a bloccare attraverso i DNS laccesso ai siti che violerebbero il copyright. La Corte, nella sentenza 13478/2015, ha dichiarato illegittimi questi ordini di blocco, basandosi principalmente sulla Direttiva 31/2000 sul Commercio Elettronico ( che in Italia è stata recepita con <http://www.camera.it/parlam/leggi/deleghe/03070dl.htm> il decreto Legislativo 70 del 2003) . I punti principali del ragionamento sono i seguenti: la Corte ha ritenuto che vi fosse una violazione dei principi proporzionalità, che impongono ai Giudici di valutare a prevalenza i diritti costituzionalmente tutelati relativi alla libertà di informazione, la partecipazione alla società dellinformazione, nonché il diritto alla protezione della raccolta, lelaborazione e lutilizzo dei dati personali e la riservatezza della libertà di comunicazione, rispetto al diritto dautore.

Chissà se la profilazione di FB e Google funziona meglio.

by la_zanna

Sò che sono strano... ma non classificabile? :-) "...Sorry, we are unable to generate a prediction. An insufficient number of your Likes match with those in our database, and we don’t believe in guesswork. Please take our take more psychometric tests if you would still like to receive scientific feedback on your traits. Thanks!..." http://www.repubblica.it/tecnologia/social-network/2015/09/10/news/facebook… Diversi quotidiani, vedasi, ex multis, questo link, hanno segnalato un servizo per comprendere quanto un social sa di noi. Io risulto avere 26 anni (49, ma su FB ho messo la data di nascita reale), essere impulsivo e poco organizzato (eppure mi dicono che la mia scrivania sembra una banca svizzera), essere contemporaneamente competitivo e rilassato, essere ateo al 33% o protestante al 33% (i "like" su Medjugorje e sul Santuario della Consolata non suggeriscono nulla?). Ma quello che mi secca di più è che risulto uomo al 49% e donna al 51%. Eppure sul profilo ho la barba, si vede che mi hanno preso per una Drag Queen. Insomma, se non vi avessi dato io spontaneamente le informazioni reali, dal mio profilo FB - analizzato secondo quel sito - cavereste poco. Ma credo che i big dei big abbiano sistemi più precisi. Anche se quando Amazon mi ha offerto 100piedi di cordino per paracadute deve avere avuto un attimo di smarrimento... Buon WE a tutti Diego
