Microsoft's PhotoDNA against child exploitation

by Corrado Druetta

Per tutti gli studiosi di sicurezza e cybercrime (e per gli interessati a tecnologie image matching): lo spunto viene da un articolo di repubblica: http://www.repubblica.it/tecnologia/2011/07/01/news/microsoft_pedofili-1848… Per il funzionamento, vedi: http://www.techtree.com/India/News/Facebook_Uses_PhotoDNA_To_Detect_Child_P… Questo progetto sta raccogliendo l'interesse di diversi soggetti, pubblici e privati: viene da chiedersi in particolare se questa tecnologia di matching&tracking possa servire ad altri scopi, molto meno nobili. Saluti, Corrado Druetta

(Re-inoltro perché non mi risulta correttamente pervenuto il precedente messaggio, scusate eventuale duplicazione) credo che il libro a cui ci si riferisce sia questo: http://www.thefilterbubble.com/ qui c'è una presentazione dell'autore: http://blog.ted.com/2011/05/02/beware-online-filter-bubbles-eli-pariser-on-… Bisogna poi vedere l'impatto che le prossime regolamentazioni in tema di riduzione della tracciabilità on-line (al di qua ed al di là dell'Atlantico) avranno sulle considerazioni espresse.

J. Lichtenstein - Why Open Data Alone Is Not Enough

by invisigot

vi segnalo questo articolo apparso sul numero di luglio di Wired USA http://www.wired.com/magazine/2011/06/st_essay_datafireworks/ [...]The concern that open data may simply empower the empowered is not an argument against open data; it’s an argument against looking at open data as an end in itself. Massive data dumps and even friendly online government portals are insufficient. Ordinary people need to know what information is available, and they need the training to be conversant in it. And if people are to have anything more than theoretical access to the information, it needs to be easy and cheap to use. That means investing in the kinds of organizations doing outreach, advocacy, and education in the communities least familiar with the benefits of data transparency[...] -- Fabio Malagnino Blog&SenzaRete: http://www.fabiomalagnino.it Torino Digitale: http://www.torinodigitale.it follow me at http://twitter.com/invisigot Email me at fabio.malagnino(a)gmail.com G-Talk me on invisigot(a)gmail.com Skype me at invisigot74 Call me at +39.340.3642979

Fwd: [IRP] CSISAC Press Release on OECD Communique on Internet Policy-Making Principles

by J.C. DE MARTIN

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [IRP] CSISAC Press Release on OECD Communique on Internet Policy-Making Principles Date: Thu, 30 Jun 2011 02:08:49 +0200 From: Meryem Marzouki <meryem(a)marzouki.info> To: IRP <Irp(a)lists.internetrightsandprinciples.org> Hi all, The OECD High-Level Meeting on the Internet Economy ended today, and released the OECD Communiqué on Principles for Internet Policy-Making: <http://www.oecd.org/dataoecd/40/21/48289796.pdf> This communiqué was endorsed by OECD members + Egypt, as well as by BIAC (Business and Industry Advisory Commitee) and ITAC (Internet Technical Community Advisory Committee). It was NOT endorsed by CSISAC (the Civil Society Information Society Advisory Committee). CSISAC published a press release on this OECD communiqué today 29 June: <http://csisac.org/CSISAC_PR_06292011.pdf> together with a longer statement detailing its substantive reasons: <http://csisac.org/CSISAC_Statement_on_OECD_Communique_06292011_FINAL_COMMEN…> This decision was not easy to make. CSISAC has been fully involved in the multistakeholder discussions ahead of the meeting, to agree by consensus on a common communiqué. Unfortunately, CSISAC had to decline endorsing the last draft version of the communiqué before the high-level meeting: while many advances were achieved in the drafting, there were some important remaining issues related to CSISAC core values, first and foremost the respect for fundamental human rights and freedoms and the rule of law, the promotion of access to knowledge, promotion of open standards, Net Neutrality and balanced intellectual property policies and regimes. I know that these are also core values for our IRP coalition. For those who don't know CSISAC (http://csisac.org) CSISAC is a coalition of more than 80 civil society groups from across the globe that provide input into the development of OECD policies relating to the Internet. Since 2009, CSISAC has formally represented the civil society perspective at certain OECD meetings and defended the rights of Internet users worldwide. CSISAC documents related to the OECD Communiqué, together with some CSISAC members statements (more to be added as they're released) are available on CSISAC website: <http://csisac.org/2011/06/csisac_declines_to_support_oec.php> Best regards, Meryem Marzouki - EDRI - CSISAC Steering Committee Member -- Meryem Marzouki - Paris, France Email: meryem(a)marzouki.info Lab.

The Power of Open (nuovo libro CC)

by bernardo parrella

http://thepowerofopen.org/ Creative Commons began providing licenses for the open sharing of content only a decade ago. Now more than 400 million CC-licensed works are available on the Internet, from music and photos, to research findings and entire college courses. Creative Commons created the legal and technical infrastructure that allows effective sharing of knowledge, art and data by individuals, organizations and governments. More importantly, millions of creators took advantage of that infrastructure to share work that enriches the global commons for all humanity./ The Power of Open/ collects the stories of those creators. Some are like ProPublica, a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative news organization that uses CC while partnering with the world's largest media companies. Others like nomadic filmmaker Vincent Moon use CC licensing as an essential element of a lifestyle of openness in pursuit of creativity. The breadth of uses is as great as the creativity of the individuals and organizations choosing to open their content, art and ideas to the rest of the world.
