by Alberto Cammozzo Oct. 4, 2018

Oct. 4, 2018

Ciao, ho cercato il servizio di data potability automatizzato previsto dal GDPR art.20/1.b nel sito d Amazon ma non ho trovato nulla. Per caso qualcuno ha già provato a ottenere i propri dati da Amazon e sa come si fa? Se in effetti il servizio non fosse attivo, qualcuno è interessato a richiederlo formalmente assieme a me?

Ford Foundation: "On the Future of Work(ers)"
by J.C. DE MARTIN Oct. 3, 2018

Oct. 3, 2018

V. anche il video di 5' di Michelle Miller: https://twitter.com/FordFoundation/status/1047157190807699458/video/1 * *jc* "On the Future of Work(ers)"* Darren Walker, President 1 October 2018 At the beginning of this year, I shared my concern about the grave threat inequality poses to democratic values and institutions. Indeed, when individuals no longer feel they have equal access to opportunities, or the power to control their own future, hopelessness begins to set in. This hopelessness breeds discouragement and despair, disillusionment with government, and disconnection from the institutions that bring order and meaning to our lives. Worst of all, hopelessness can undercut individual potential and collective possibility. And nowhere does it loom larger than in the so-called fourth industrial revolution, which threatens to rob many people of their livelihoods, their dignity, their security, and their ambitions. But we do not need to be driven by hopelessness or fear. Yes, there are some daunting challenges on the horizon: Unprecedented technological change—including automation, artificial intelligence, and algorithmic decision-making—will impact workers around the world, and transform labor markets with a speed we can scarcely imagine now. We know that different places and demographic groups will not all be affected in the same ways. Technology is not the only factor, but the seemingly uncontrollable quality of it leaves us in a quandary, with a myriad of questions.

Huge Facebook breach leaves thousands of other apps vulnerable
by Alberto Cammozzo Oct. 3, 2018

Oct. 3, 2018

<https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/oct/02/facebook-hack-compromise…> Bugs in certain Facebook features resulted in user tokens being exposed to attackers. Remember the Facebook hack last week that compromised at least 50m accounts? It’s worse than you think. Last Friday, the social media company revealed a vulnerability that allowed attackers to steal automated log-in credentials (or “tokens”). The tokens make it easier for people to log into popular apps and services like Spotify, Pinterest, or Yelp. The flaw, which has been present since July 2017, was discovered last month after Facebook engineers noticed unusual login activity. While the scope of that attack is still being discovered, independent researchers say the damage could extend far beyond Facebook’s borders. [...]

Re: [nexa] Proposta di Legge per nazionalizzare gli internet, exchange?

Nel 2001, proposi un'idea simile, che chiamai rete di GigaPort: http://medialab.di.unipi.it/Project/GigaPort/GigaPoP.html La soluzione proposta era di una partnership pubblico/privato in cui il pubblico aveva il ruolo di garantire la neutralità. -- On 10/2/2018 11:56, nexa-request(a)server-nexa.polito.it wrote: > Date: Tue, 2 Oct 2018 11:56:24 +0200 From: "armeo(a)mail.nexacenter.org" > <meo(a)polito.it> To: nexa(a)server-nexa.polito.it Subject: Re: [nexa] > Proposta di Legge per nazionalizzare gli internet exchange? > Message-ID: <bc875be0-97ca-2362-72db-0325d2c34343(a)polito.it> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"; Format="flowed" caro > Giorgio, dopo quell'autentica follia > collettiva, su cui erano tutti concordi, da Fini a D'Alema, che è > stata la privatizzazione della Telecom, vedo difficile il tuo sogno > sulla Rete.
