Quale spiritualità nelle tecnologie?
by don Luca Peyron Oct. 10, 2020

Oct. 10, 2020

*Un rapporto fra «fede e tecnologia»*, in questo caso quella delle nuove tecnologie, non può consistere solo nel denunciare i pericoli, nel mettere in guardia. Mi pare più importante, o per lo meno altrettanto importante, il tentare di capire come la tecnologia può essere strumento di avvicinamento alla fede, strumento di maggior umanizzazione della società. Ecco un primo fondamentale dato della spiritualità per le nuove tecnologie: spiritualità di servizio e, soprattutto, di servizio ai più deboli. Un pezzo di Giorgio Ceragioli, scritto decine di anni fa ed ancora attualissimo, come solo i grandi sanno fare.

But if in the process we learn how to achieve it by love rather than by fear, by kindness rather than compulsion; if in the process we learn how to combine the essential with the enjoyable, the expedient with the benevolent, the practical with the beautiful, this will be an extra incentive to embark on this great task. Above all, remember your humanity. -- Sir Joseph Rotblat Links: ------ [1] http://panix.com [2] http://www.isti.cnr.it

Chrome is deploying HTTP/3 and IETF QUIC
by Giacomo Tesio Oct. 8, 2020

Oct. 8, 2020

QUIC was initially developed by Google and first announced in 2013. Since then, the protocol has matured, and is now responsible for carrying over a third of Google traffic. In 2015, Google brought QUIC to the IETF (the standards organization responsible for maintaining the Internet's protocols) and the IETF has been improving QUIC by making many changes to it. At this point, there are now two similar but different protocols: Google QUIC and IETF QUIC. The QUIC team at Google has been involved in the IETF process from the start, but we've been using Google QUIC in Chrome while working on implementing IETF QUIC. We've put tremendous effort into evolving Google QUIC over the last five years to track changes at IETF, and the current latest Google QUIC version (Q050) has many similarities with IETF QUIC. But up until now, the majority of Chrome users didn't communicate with IETF QUIC servers without enabling some command-line options.Today this changes. We've found that IETF QUIC significantly outperforms HTTP over TLS 1.3 over TCP. In particular, Google search latency decreases by over 2%. YouTube rebuffer time decreased by over 9%, while client throughput increased by over 3% on desktop and over 7% on mobile. We're happy to announce that Chrome is rolling out support for IETF QUIC (specifically, draft version h3-29). Today 25% of Chrome Stable users are using h3-29, and we plan on increasing that number over the coming weeks as we continue to monitor performance data. Chrome will actively support both IETF QUIC h3-29 and Google QUIC Q050 to provide servers that support Q050 with time to update to IETF QUIC.

Twitter API e GDPR
by Giuseppe Attardi Oct. 8, 2020

Oct. 8, 2020

Qualche esperto di GDPR può risolvere questo mio dubbio. Twitter sostiene di rispettare la GDPR (https://gdpr.twitter.com) Twitter does not disclose personally-identifying information to third parties except in accordance with our Privacy Policy <https://twitter.com/privacy>. Twitter spiega nella sua Privacy Policy (https://twitter.com/en/privacy) che usa dati di localizzazione, per "operate or personalize our services including with more relevant content like local trends, stories, ads, and suggestions for people to follow” (1) Chi usa il servizio accetta queste condizioni. La geolocalizzazione dei tweet è tuttavia opzionale (https://help.twitter.com/en/safety-and-security/tweet-location-settings) Tweet location is off by default, and you will need to opt in to the service. Comunque chi utilizza le Twitter API riceve anche la posizione: Tweet location - Available when user shares location at time of Tweet. Quindi chiunque può ricevere dati di tipo personale che includono la posizione di un soggetto in una certa ora. Twitter sostiene di rispettare la GDPR sulla base della notifica di cui al punto (1). Ma la GDPR richiede anche che se un “controller” fornisce dei dati personali ad un “processor”, deve garantire facendo sottoscrivere un contratto ai terzi, che essi stessi rispettano la GDPR. ‘processor’ means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller. If a processor acts without the controller’s instructions in such a way that it determines the purpose and means of processing, including to comply with a statutory obligation, it will be a controller in respect of that processing and will have the same liability as a controller. Processor contracts: you must enter into a binding contract or other legal act with your processors, which must contain a number of compulsory provisions as specified in Article 28(3). E indica un certo numero di partner con cui collabora: https://privacy.twitter.com/en/subprocessors Ma chiunque può accedere alla Twitter API senza dover dare nessuna garanzia. Come si spiega? — Beppe

"Facebook Just Forced Its Most Powerful Critics Offline"
by J.C. DE MARTIN Oct. 8, 2020

Oct. 8, 2020

*Facebook Just Forced Its Most Powerful Critics Offline** * /"Nothing says 'free speech' quite as much as a multi-billion dollar corporation with a global monopoly getting its critics shut down."/ by David Gilbert October 8, 2020, 2:46pm Facebook is using its vast legal muscle to silence one of its most prominent critics. The Real Facebook Oversight Board, a group established last month in response to the tech giant’s failure to get its actual Oversight Board up and running before the presidential election, was forced offline on Wednesday night after Facebook wrote to the internet service provider demanding the group’s website — realfacebookoversight.org — be taken offline.

"The FBI Team Sent to ‘Exploit’ Protesters’ Phones in Portland"
by J.C. DE MARTIN Oct. 8, 2020

Oct. 8, 2020

*The FBI Team Sent to ‘Exploit’ Protesters’ Phones in Portland* /Mattathias Schwartz / The FBI’s Washington, D.C., headquarters sent agents from its “Fly Team,” an elite counterterrorism unit, to Portland this summer during the second weekend in July. Their task was to interview arrested protesters and carry out the “initial exploitation of phones, or other communication devices,” according to FBI emails obtained through a public records request. It is unclear whether the Fly Team operation extended either past that weekend or beyond Portland, but the emails suggest that the FBI has been using counterterrorism tools and powers to map left-wing protest networks just months before an election whose result is likely to be delayed, if not challenged.
