Farrell: "Facebook and Falsehood"
by J.C. DE MARTIN Jan. 19, 2017

Jan. 19, 2017

*Facebook and Falsehood* By Henry Farrell January 15, 2017 After the election, many people blamed Facebook for spreading partisan — and largely pro-Trump — "fake news," like Pope Francis’s endorsement of Trump, or Hillary Clinton’s secret life-threatening illness. The company was assailed for prioritizing user "engagement," meaning that its algorithms probably favored juicy fake news over other kinds of stories. Those algorithms had taken on greater prominence since August, when Facebook fired its small team of human beings who curated its "trending" news section, following conservative complaints that it was biased against the right. Initially, Facebook denied that fake news could have seriously affected the election. But recently it announced that it was taking action. The social-media giant said it would work with fact-checking organizations such as Snopes and Polifact to identify problematic news stories and flag them as disputed, so that people know that they are questionable. It will also penalize suspect stories so that they are less likely to appear in people’s news feeds. In each instance — the decision to remove human editors in August and the recent decision to use independent fact-checkers — Facebook has said that it cannot be an arbiter of truth. It wants to portray itself as a simple service that allows people and businesses to network and communicate, imposing only minimal controls over what they actually say to one another. This means that it has to outsource its judgments on truth — either by relying on "machine learning" or other technical approaches that might identify false information, or by turning to users and outside authorities.

Progetto "Copyright for Education" (Communia) e lettera al Parlamento Europeo
by fabio.nascimbeni Jan. 19, 2017

Jan. 19, 2017

Segnalo il Progetto "Copyright for Education<http://www.communia-association.org/c4ed/>” portato avanti da Communia. Dal sito: The aim of COMMUNIA’s project Copyright for Education is twofold. First, we will continue legal research on educational exceptions and limitations, based on the research done by Teresa Nobre. With the aim of providing reliable evidence to COMMUNIA and other stakeholders that wish to engage in discussions concerning the European Commission plans to make legislative proposals on the EU exception for “illustration for teaching”. This legal research will map the fragmented landscape of copyright rules in Europe. This enables us to see how copyright restricts teachers in doing what they do best. Secondly, we will conduct research on modern educational practices with relation to copyright. The digital era has created many opportunities for teachers to teach their students in new and engaging ways. We will interview teachers in different members states of the European Union that use digital technology in their classes to understand which outdated legal rules limit modern, innovative education. The outcomes of this research will help us understand what an education exception should encompass. Come parte di questi progetto, Communia ha organizzato una riunione con vari stakeholders, dove: we discussed concrete examples of copyright problems with the present stakeholders, we shared a number of ideas on copyright that would benefit education and solve these problems: • It would be better if there was an education exception that is in every country and the same to enable collaboration between teachers and the sharing of knowledge. • We prefer exceptions over licenses. This creates a unified copyright landscape. • We prefer an education exception ‘for educational purposes’ so that the exceptions is not limited to educational establishments. • We think that using materials for educational purposes under this exception should be non-remunerated E come risultato della riunione: We have prepared a joint letter that we can send to MEPs, informing them of our worries surrounding the draft directive on copyright in the Digital Single Market. La lettera (che verrà inviata nella prima settimana di Febbraio a tutti i membri del Parlamento Europeo) è qui: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1J4HkgqPjM5x0qsf89uwDs28SGCVxbKFQZYijNAN…. Per i permessi chiedere a Judith Blijden <jb(a)kl.nl<mailto:jb@kl.nl>>. E’ ancora possibile firmare la lettera fino al 1mo di Febbraio, sia come persone che come istituzioni. Se Nexa è interessato credo sarebbe bene firmare e partecipare. Saluti Fabio

Condivisione aperta dei dati derivanti dai test di guida autonoma
by Antonio Vetrò Jan. 18, 2017

Jan. 18, 2017

Segnalo un breve articolo sui veicoli autonomi, in cui ho trovato un interessante concetto: la condivisione aperta dei dati derivanti dai test di guida autonoma. Permetterebbe alla comunità scientifica di comparare i comportamenti della guida autonoma con quella manuale, e aiutare policy makers, enti normativi e sviluppatori nella definizione di "guida sicura". https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/when-it-comes-to-safety-autonomo… <https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/when-it-comes-to-safety-autonomo…> -- Antonio Vetrò, Ph.D. Director of Research Nexa Center for Internet and Society DAUIN, Politecnico di Torino https://nexa.polito.it/people/avetro
