"US cross-border data deal could open surveillance floodgates"

by J.C. DE MARTIN

* US cross-border data deal could open surveillance floodgates* Cynthia Wong 18 September 2017 /Internet users should assess whether their domestic system would adequately prevent their government from abusing the arrangement, and whether local law enforcement can be held accountable./ In July 2016, the United States Department of Justice released a legislative proposal <https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/2994379-2016-7-15-US-UK-Biden-With-…> that could vastly increase surveillance by other governments with the direct assistance of Silicon Valley. The unprecedented proposal would allow certain governments to demand the contents of Internet communications such as e-mails and chats directly from US companies, rather than going through cross-border law enforcement treaties that have long been in place to protect rights. The US has already negotiated the outlines of such a deal with the United Kingdom and the Justice Department proposal would extend it to other governments.

In the context of two European projects, namely 3cixty <https://www.3cixty.com> and PasTime <http://www.pas-time.org>, both supported by the European Institute of Innovation & Technology (EIT), we have envisioned and experimented with a forward looking approach towards *the automated personalization of travel offerings*. Leveraging a data deluge of crowdsourced travelers’ data city whereabouts, dedicated city data catalogues of points of interest and events, travelers’ past bookings and travel choices, we have streamlined a fully automated pipeline of data collection and integration, semantic graph materialization, and travel recommendations, bridging the gap between data automation and final customer consumption. The aim of this lunch seminar is to *illustrate the basic principles of our technology solution based on semantic technologies and recommender algorithms*, we will illustrate how we put back the traveler at the center of our technology implementation, and will share some insights about the impact of this solution. /Ingresso libero - Saranno disponibili panini e bibite per coloro che si saranno registrati su http://lunch54.eventbrite.com entro il 25 settembre./ BIOGRAFIE - e informazioni supplementari [RIZZO] Dr. *GIUSEPPE RIZZO <http://giusepperizzo.github.io>* is Senior Data Scientist in Istituto Superiore Mario Boella, a research center located in Turin and focused on ICT research and innovation. Giuseppe is currently PI of ISMB in PasTime (EIT Digital, no. 17164) and has participated in successful International projects such as 3cixty (PI of ISMB), FREME, LinkedTV, Apps4EU, EventMedia and OpenSem.

BBC: "Will Germany's new law kill free speech online?"

by J.C. DE MARTIN

*Will Germany's new law kill free speech online?* By Patrick Evans BBC News /in October a new law comes into force in Germany that will impose huge fines on social networks if they don't delete illegal content including hate speech. It's touched off a huge debate over freedom of expression and has attracted an unusual collection of opponents.// / The law is called Netzwerkdurchsetzungsgesetz - NetzDG for short. It obliges the biggest social networks - those with more than two million German users - to take down "blatantly illegal" hate speech within 24 hours of it being reported. For material that's less obviously violating the law, networks such as Facebook and Instagram will have seven days to consider and, if appropriate, delete posts. Failure to meet these deadlines could lead to fines of up to €50m. Critics argue the short timeframes coupled with the potentially large fines will lead social networks to be overly cautious and delete huge amounts of content - even things that are perfectly legal. But the law's supporters, and the German government, argue that it will force social media companies to proactively deal with online incitement and hate speech.
