L'Europa, come altre regioni del mondo, si trova ad affrontare la sfida di guidare questi cambiamenti per sostenere lo sviluppo economico e al tempo stesso assicurare condizioni di lavoro e di protezione sociale avanzate. I cambiamenti tecnologici possono potenzialmente creare nuovi posti di lavoro, aumentarne la produttività, e stimolare investimenti e innovazione. Ma *questi benefici non sono automatici, né equamente distribuiti*. La tentazione di rallentare o persino fermare questi cambiamenti è forte – ma che ciò sia possibile è del tutto opinabile, specie in un contesto globalizzato in cui la competizione con altri paesi è fortissima. Si tratta dunque di gestire questi cambiamenti e orientarli in direzioni socialmente e politicamente accettabili. Andrea Glorioso discuterà *l'approccio della Commissione Europea per gestire questi cambiamenti epocali*, un approccio basato sul "pilastro europeo dei diritti sociali", su investimenti mirati in ricerca e sviluppo, e sulla cooperazione con le autorità degli Stati Membri e di tutti gli attori sociali. /Si segnala che il dott. Glorioso, il giorno successivo, giovedì *13/09* alle ore *11*, terrà un altro talk, sempre al Politecnico, dal titolo: "Il digitale è politico: le tecnologie della comunicazione e dell'informazione tra Obama e Trump. Quale ruolo per l'Europa? <https://nexa.polito.it/2018/05/aglorioso>"/. BIOGRAFIE - e informazioni supplementari [GLORIOSO] *Andrea GLORIOSO* lavora per la Commissione Europea (DG CONNECT) dal 2007, inizialmente sulle politiche di sicurezza informatica, privacy e protezione dei dati personali, e Internet Governance; più recentemente, sul tema del "futuro del lavoro". Da giugno 2014 a gennaio 2018 è stato consigliere diplomatico per "l'economia digitale" presso la Delegazione dell'Unione Europea negli U.S.A. È laureato in Scienze Politiche presso l'Università di Padova e ha un master in Diritti di Proprietà Intellettuale dell'Università di Torino/WIPO Worldwide Academy. Nel 2016 e nel 2017 è stato un "fellow" dell'Institute for Tele-Information della Columbia University". *Letture consigliate e link utili:* * Il pilastro europeo dei diritti sociali <https://ec.europa.eu/commission/priorities/deeper-and-fairer-economic-and-m…>. * Gruppo di esperti sull'impatto delle trasformazioni digitali sui mercati del lavoro UE, https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/news/call-expression-interest…. * European Political Strategy Centre, Strategic Note #13, Strategic Note #13: The Future of Work <https://ec.europa.eu/epsc/file/strategic-note-13-future-work_en>. * EUROFOUND, Automation, digitalisation and platforms: Implications for work and employment <https://www.eurofound.europa.eu/publications/report/2018/automation-digital…>. * Commissione Europea, Rapporto 2017, Employment and Social Developments in Europe 2017 <http://ec.europa.eu/social/main.jsp?catId=738&langId=en&pubId=8030&furtherP…>.

TEDtalk on “From Net Neutrality to Network Self-determination”
by Luca Belli July 31, 2018

July 31, 2018

Buongiorno a tutti, Spero che possa essere di vostro interesse https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-xlBqbNzGU Buona visione e buone vacanze Un caro saluto Luca [https://www.bing.com/th?id=OVP.BmWnywCseATFFrZrdQhAQQHgFo&pid=Api]<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-xlBqbNzGU> >From Network Neutrality to Network Self-determination | Luca Belli | TEDxRoma<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-xlBqbNzGU> www.youtube.com Network neutrality was the pillar of Internet but Luca Belli shows the turn the Internet has taken since people have realized that our data could be exploited. Some ... Dear colleagues, At the end of May, TEDxRoma invited me to give a TEDtalk on “From Net Neutrality to Network Self-determination”. The video recording of the talk has just been released and is now available here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-xlBqbNzGU<https://eur04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtu…> I would like to thank those on this list with whom, over the past years, I had the pleasure to discuss net neutrality, community networks, prosumer law, data sovereignty and all the issues that I tried to connect and condensate in the talk. As you may know, the TED format prescribes a (roughly) 13 minute long “story-telling” talk and, of course, such format does not allow for an in-depth analysis. For those of you who might be interested in knowing more about the issues analysed in the talk, I am pasting below the short descriptions (with a brief list of references) of two lectures I will give in two weeks at CeTyS, Universidad de San Andrés, to analyse in further detail Net Neutrality evolutions and the concept of Network Self-determination. As usual, if you have any comments or questions, feel free to write me a private message. All the best Luca Net Neutrality Policies, Zero Rating and the Minitelisation of the Internet The Internet was designed as a general-purpose network grounded on openness, decentralisation and interoperability. Such features have allowed innovation to flourish, lowering barriers to communication, participation and cooperation, thus empowering end users. ‘General purpose’ means that the purpose for which the Internet is used is not predefined by the operator but can be autonomously decided by the end user. In this sense, the network neutrality (NN) principle mandates non-discriminatory treatment of Internet traffic to preserve an open environment, fostering the general-purpose nature of the Internet, unleashing end users’ creativity. This lecture will explore the evolution of the NN debate, stressing that the rationale of NN policies is to preserve an open and decentralised Internet architecture, empowering end users, fostering innovation and protecting users’ rights. The analysis of the different stages of NN policymaking will lead to one of the latest chapter of the NN saga: the emergence of zero rating (ZR) schemes and their compatibility with NN. The lecture will analyse how discriminatory practices with regard to both Internet traffic management and price differentiation may lead to a phenomenon defined as “Minitelisation” (Belli 2017) of the Internet, consisting of the shift from a user-centric, general-purpose network to one with a predefined purpose, thereby creating passive consumers of predetermined services (as in the old-fashioned Minitel), rather than active Internet users.

This lecture will start by analysing the current state of play of Internet connectivity in the region while considering some local examples to identify the reasons why almost half of the world population is still offline. Subsequently, the lecture will focus on Community Networks, exploring the wide range of positive externalities triggered by such initiatives. Community Networks are better characterised by the fact that they are organised and deployed in a bottom-up fashion, in order to be utilised and managed by the local community as a commons. Lastly, the lecture will focus on the emergence of a “right to Network self-determination” (Belli 2017) that should be seen as the right to freely associate in order to define, in a democratic fashion, the design, development and management of network infrastructure as a common good, so that all individuals can freely seek, impart and receive information and innovation. The legal as well as empirical basis of the right to Network Self-determination will be explored. References • Network self-determination: When building the Internet becomes a right.

Irish Supreme Court to hear unprecedented Facebook appeal over data transfers referral
by Alberto Cammozzo July 31, 2018

July 31, 2018

<https://www.irishtimes.com/business/technology/supreme-court-to-hear-unprec…> The Supreme Court has agreed to hear an unprecedented appeal by Facebook over a High Court judge’s decision to refer to the European Court of Justice (CJEU) key issues concerning the validity of EU-US data transfer channels. The five judge Supreme Court, in a significant decision on Tuesday, said it would hear the appeal as a matter of urgency before the end of this year and would notify the High Court, which has already forwarded the reference to the CJEU, of its decision. Last May, the High Court’s Ms Justice Caroline Costello directed a referral “immediately” to the CJEU of 11 issues concerning the validity of European Commission decisions approving data transfer channels known as Standard Contractual Clauses. The questions raise significant issues of EU law with huge implications, including whether the High Court was correct in finding there is “mass indiscriminate processing” of data by US government agencies under the PRISM and Upstream programmes authorised there. If Facebook persuades the Supreme Court to make certain orders in its appeal, those could only be of value if the Supreme Court judgment is delivered well in advance of the likely hearing before the CJEU, the chief justice, Mr Justice Frank Clarke <https://www.irishtimes.com/topics/topics-7.1213540?article=true&tag_person=…> stressed on Tuesday. The grounds of appeal include whether or not there is any entitlement in the first place to appeal a reference decision made by the High Court. [...]
