by Alberto Cammozzo July 5, 2016

July 5, 2016

<http://www.biometricupdate.com/201606/ntia-finalizes-commercial-facial-reco…> The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) <https://www.ntia.doc.gov/> finalized its privacy guidelines for the commercial use of facial recognition last week [] The stakeholders, according to the National Law Review <http://www.natlawreview.com/article/ntia-multistakeholder-group-reaches-con…>, recommended in the final code of conduct that commercial entities do the following: • Disclose their practices regarding collection, storage, and use of facial template data to consumers, including any sharing, retention, and de-identification policies; • Provide notice to consumers where facial recognition is used on a physical premises; • Consider privacy concerns when developing data management programs; • Protect facial recognition data by implementing a program that contains administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the entity’s size, complexity, the nature of its activities, and the sensitivity of the data; • Take reasonable steps to maintain the integrity of the data collected; and, • Provide a means for consumers to contact the entity regarding its use of the data.

GDPR: Flexibilities in the General Data Protection Regulation
by Alessandro Mantelero July 5, 2016

July 5, 2016

EDRI On 14 April 2016, the European Parliament adopted two legal instruments that will regulate the fundamental right to data protection of individuals: the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Law Enforcement Data Protection Directive (LEDP). Despite the overall positive outcome of the GDPR, we regret that many of the initial high expectations for the Regulation were not realised. Once the final text was passed, and ahead of the preparation of guidelines for its implementation, we have published two documents where we analyse the numerous national flexibilities contained in the text of the Regulation. The results can be found here (the full analysis of all the flexibilities) and here (short document with the most dangerous flexibilities). https://edri.org/analysis-flexibilities-gdpr/ -- Prof. Avv.

Free Basics By Facebook – An Interview With Nishant Shah | Spheres
by J.C. DE MARTIN July 5, 2016

July 5, 2016

Following up the internet’s early democratic dreams, the Facebook-led initiative Free Basics, formerly known as internet.org, seeks to create a connected world by establishing internet access in areas, which, often due to financial reasons, have been disconnected so far. Despite the seemingly sensible purpose, the initiative has been highly scrutinised. Particularly in India, internet.org faced many complaints, ultimately resulting in the project being abandoned in the country. In the following interview, Nishant Shah, former director for research at the Center for Internet and Society in Bangalore and currently teaching at the Leuphana University of Lüneburg, will illuminate several aspects of internet.org and its critique, addressing issues such as net neutrality, the importance of a universal internet access strategy and the conditions for its global implementation. http://spheres-journal.org/interview-on-internet-org/ (Sent from my wireless device; please excuse brevity and typos (if any))

Bell'esempio del potere dei blog (e anche bel video): http://www.theatlantic.com/video/index/488948/the-obscure-blogger-who-rever… E' anche un inno al lavoro accademico di lungo termine, apparentemente oscuro, ma che alla fine manifesta la sua importanza. juan carlos *The Obscure Blogger Who Reversed the Recession* Jun 30, 2016 | 432 videos Video by Ian Reid Scott Sumner is a monetary economist who studies the Great Depression and runs the blog The Money Illusion. He also used his knowledge 20th century economics to help fix the 2007-2009 recession. “Most of the discussion was missing the point,” Sumner says in this film by Ian Reid. “Other economists were looking at interest rates. They assumed money was easy. But commodity prices, stock prices, real estate prices, every other asset market was signaling money was too tight.” This film was produced by Distant Moon and the Mercatus Center at George Mason University.

[image: Online le linee guida di design per i siti web di Regioni e Comuni] Prosegue il percorso intrapreso dall’Agenzia per l’Italia Digitale verso la definizione di servizi online più semplici e orientati alle esigenze dei cittadini. Sono online le linee guida di design per Regioni e Comuni (link is external) <http://design.italia.it/>, che hanno l’obiettivo di definire standard web di usabilità e design condivisi da tutta la pubblica amministrazione. Dopo le amministrazioni centrali, anche quelle locali saranno guidate nella creazione di portali istituzionali più chiari e di più semplice fruizione. Da oggi sono online come progetti pilota i siti web del Comune di Biella, (link is external) <http://www.comune.biella.it/> del Comune di Matera (link is external) <http://www.comune.matera.it/> e della Regione Sardegna (link is external) <http://alpha.regione.sardegna.it>, cui farà seguito la progressiva integrazione dei contenuti. Anche il Comune di Venezia (link is external) <http://www.comune.venezia.it/> ha rinnovato il proprio portale istituzionale nel rispetto delle linee guida. Le linee guida nascono per semplificare l’accesso ai servizi e alle informazioni di carattere istituzionale. Rappresentano uno strumento volto a favorire il dialogo via web tra pubbliche amministrazioni e cittadini, colmando il divario che ci separa dai principali paesi europei. L’obiettivo finale è quello di fornire un’esperienza web più utile, semplice e intuitiva e che consenta un risparmio di tempo e risorse per cittadini e PA. Nei prossimi mesi, AgID ha previsto la definizione di specifiche indicazioni rivolte al mondo della scuola e delle università, nonchè l'ampliamento delle linee guida dai siti web ai servizi digitali.

A l’ère numérique, le capitalisme compatissant
by Alberto Cammozzo July 2, 2016

July 2, 2016

Bel pezzo di Morozov <http://blog.mondediplo.net/2016-07-02-A-l-ere-numerique-le-capitalisme-comp…> Conclude: Pour être tout à fait libre dans un avenir proche qui, curieusement, ressemble de plus en plus à notre passé féodal (lire « Féodalisme 2.0 »), nous devrons d’abord prêter allégeance à un géant de la technologie. Le jour où notre entreprise suzeraine se tournera vers un autre modèle commercial, ou décidera simplement que notre liberté n’est plus justifiée par les calculs de rentabilité, il nous faudra alors trouver un autre garant privé de notre liberté.
