uno scontento della Dichiarazione
by Gaetano Stucchi Oct. 15, 2014

Oct. 15, 2014

Caro Juan Carlos, non so se labbiate già intercettato ( è probabile ), ma ecco per la tua bibliografia il parere piuttosto acido di Stefano Mannoni, professore di Diritto delle Comunicazioni presso l'Università di Firenze, pubblicato su Key4biz del 13 ottobre scorso http://www.key4biz.it/causeries-carta-dei-diritti-web-unaltra-occasione-pers a-per-litalia/ ( per quello che vale . . . . . ). Io non ho ancora analizzato con attenzione la Dichiarazione, ma mi accingo a farlo, stimolato anche dai primi commenti ( in particolare da quelli dellottimo Casilli ). Poi mi farò vivo in lista. Ma il merito di aver finalmente sbloccato la questione dell Internet Bill of Rights, di cui discutiamo da anni ( ricordo una tua replica durante un mercoledì di NEXA di almeno 2, se non 3 anni fa ), quello ve lo riconosco fin dora. E non è poca cosa. Cerchiamo di andare fino in fondo, smentendo una delle nostre patologie nazionali più diffuse. E lunga vita a NEXA !

Greenwald: "UN Report Finds Mass Surveillance Violates International Treaties and Privacy Rights"
by J.C. DE MARTIN Oct. 15, 2014

Oct. 15, 2014

*UN Report Finds Mass Surveillance Violates International Treaties and Privacy Rights** * by Glenn Greenwald The United Nations’ top official for counter-terrorism and human rights (known as the “Special Rapporteur”)issued a formal report to the U.N. General Assembly today that condemns mass electronic surveillance as a clear violation of core privacy rights guaranteed by multiple treaties and conventions. “The hard truth is that the use of mass surveillance technology effectively does away with the right to privacy of communications on the Internet altogether,” the report concluded. Central to the Rapporteur’s findings is the distinction between “targeted surveillance” – which depend[s] upon the existence of prior suspicion of the targeted individual or organization” – and “mass surveillance,” whereby “states with high levels of Internet penetration can [] gain access to the telephone and e-mail content of an effectively unlimited number of users and maintain an overview of Internet activity associated with particular websites.” In a system of “mass surveillance,” the report explained, “all of this is possible without any prior suspicion related to a specific individual or organization. The communications of literally every Internet user are potentially open for inspection by intelligence and law enforcement agencies in the States concerned.” […] Continua qui: https://firstlook.org/theintercept/2014/10/15/un-investigator-report-condem…

Facebook si fa le regole e le applica come vuole
by Simone Aliprandi Oct. 15, 2014

Oct. 15, 2014

Nel post di questa settimana per Apogeonline racconto un episodio di "censura web" accaduto su Facebook ad un mio amico (il blogger Francesco Lanza). L'episodio, pur non essendo in sé particolarmente eclatante, ha innescato in me alcune riflessioni sui meccanismi della regolamentazione di internet che vorrei condividere e che potrebbero generare ulteriore dibattito. http://www.apogeonline.com/webzine/2014/10/15/la-comunita-che-non-ce Un caro saluto. -- Simone Aliprandi - http://www.aliprandi.org | http://www.array.eu

Fwd: [liberationtech] CfP: The Materiality of the Immaterial: ICTs and the Digital Commons (tripleC Special Issue)
by J.C. DE MARTIN Oct. 15, 2014

Oct. 15, 2014

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [liberationtech] CfP: The Materiality of the Immaterial: ICTs and the Digital Commons (tripleC Special Issue) Resent-Date: Wed, 15 Oct 2014 09:01:27 +0200 Resent-From: d004620(a)polito.it Date: Wed, 15 Oct 2014 10:00:38 +0300 From: Vasilis Kostakis <kostakis.b(a)gmail.com> Reply-To: liberationtech <liberationtech(a)lists.stanford.edu> To: liberationtech(a)lists.stanford.edu Dear all, I think that the following call might be of interest to some members of the list: Call for Papers: The Materiality of the Immaterial: ICTs and the Digital Commons http://www.triple-c.at/index.php/tripleC/announcement/view/23 Special issue of tripleC: Communication, Capitalism & Critique (http://www.triple-c.at) Abstract submission deadline: January 15, 2015 Guest editors: Vasilis Kostakis, Ragnar Nurkse School of Innovation and Governance, Tallinn University of Technology (Estonia), P2P Lab (Greece); Andreas Roos, Human Ecology Division, Lund University (Sweden) With an escalating environmental crisis and an unprecedented increase of ICT diversity and use, it is more crucial than ever to understand the underlying material aspects of the ICT infrastructure. This special issue therefore asks the question: What are the true material and socio-environmental costs of the global ICT infrastructure? In a recent paper (Fuchs 2013) as well as in the book Digital Labour and Karl Marx (Fuchs 2014), Christian Fuchs examined the complex web of production relations and the new division of digital labour that makes possible the vast and cheap ICT infrastructure as we know it. The analysis partly revealed that ICT products and infrastructure can be said to embody slave-like and other extremely harsh conditions that perpetually force mine and assembly workers into conditions of dependency. Expanding this argument, the WWF reported (Reed and Miranda 2007) that mining in the Congo basin poses considerable threats to the local environment in the form of pollution, the loss of biodiversity, and an increased presence of business-as-usual made possible by roads and railways. Thus ICTs can be said to be not at all immaterial because the ICT infrastructure under the given economic conditions can be said to embody as its material foundations slave-like working conditions, various class relations and undesirable environmental consequences. At the same time, the emerging digital commons provide a new and promising platform for social developments, arguably enabled by the progressive dynamics of ICT development. These are predominantly manifested as commons-based peer production, i.e., a new mode of collaborative, social production (Benkler 2006); and grassroots digital fabrication or community-driven makerspaces, i.e., forms of bottom-up, distributed manufacturing. The most well known examples of commons-based peer production are the free/open source software projects and the free encyclopaedia Wikipedia. While these new forms of social organisation are immanent in capitalism, they also have the features to challenge these conditions in a way that might in turn transcend the dominant system (Kostakis and Bauwens 2014). Following this dialectical framing, we would like to call for papers for a special issue of tripleC that will investigate how we can understand and balance the perils and promises of ICTs in order to make way for a just and sustainable paradigm. We seek scholarly articles and commentaries that address any of the following themes and beyond. We also welcome experimental formats, especially photo essays, which address the special issue's theme. Suggested themes Papers that track, measure and/or theorise the scope of the socio-environmental impact of the ICT infrastructure. Papers that track, measure and/or theorise surplus value as both ecological (land), social (labour) and intellectual (patent) in the context of ICTs. Understanding the human organisation of nature in commons-based peer production. Studies of the environmental dimensions of desktop manufacturing technologies (for example, 3D printing or CNC machines) in non-industrial modes of subsistence, e.g. eco-villages or traditional agriculture, as well as in modern towns and mega-cities. Suggestions for and insights into bridging understandings of the socio-economic organisation of the natural commons with the socio-economic organisation of the digital commons drawing on types of organisations in the past and the present that are grounded in theories of the commons. Elaboration of which theoretical approaches can be used for overcoming the conceptual separation of the categories immaterial/material in the digital commons. References Benkler, Yochai. 2006.

About the journal tripleC: Communication, Capitalism & Critique is an academic open access online journal using a non-commercial Creative Commons license. It is a journal that focuses on information society studies and studies of media, digital media, information and communication in society with a special interest in critical studies in these thematic areas. The journal has a special interest in disseminating articles that focus on the role of information in contemporary capitalist societies. For this task, articles should employ critical theories and/or empirical research inspired by critical theories and/or philosophy and ethics guided by critical thinking as well as relate the analysis to power structures and inequalities of capitalism, especially forms of stratification such as class, racist and other ideologies and capitalist patriarchy. Papers should reflect on how the presented findings contribute to the illumination of conditions that foster or hinder the advancement of a global sustainable and participatory information society. TripleC was founded in 2003 and is edited by Christian Fuchs and Marisol Sandoval.
