April 28, 2025

Dear All, The Preliminary Programme of the 63rd ISODARCO Course is now available at https://www.isodarco.it/63rd-isodarco-course/preliminary-detailed-program/ *Applications for participation should be made by Monday, June 9^th , 2025.* More information, including the electronic application form, is available at https://www.isodarco.it/63rd-isodarco-course The course will focus on **Peace and Stability in the Age of Militarized AI and Cyber-conflicts: New Challenges and Risks** Military powers actively incorporate advanced computing technologies into their defense systems, from artificial intelligence (AI) warfare applications to increasingly automated cyber defenses. The 2025 ISODARCO Summer Course focuses on new risks for peace and stability and related challenges for international governance that arise from the expanding militarization of advanced computing technologies. Within the vast landscape of computing technologies and their military applications, special attention will be devoted to AI decision-support systems for command and control, autonomous weapons systems and their technological precursors, nuclear command and control with its cyber vulnerabilities, the escalation of cyber hostilities and the related risk of spillover to other warfare domains, the accelerated pace of AI-powered warfare and the related challenge of preserving human control over battlefield operations. Internationally recognized scholars will address geopolitical, diplomatic, legal, and ethical implications of risks and challenges posed by militarized AI and cyber warfare in connection with nuclear stability and non-proliferation, regional conflicts, the laws of armed conflict, and international cooperation on arms control and disarmament. Introductory lectures will provide non-specialists with scientific, technological, and socioeconomic background information, making this summer course self-contained and accessible to participants from various educational experiences and academic qualifications.

Extended Deadline for INDL-8 “Contesting Digital Labor”
by Antonio Casilli April 26, 2025

April 26, 2025

Dear all, We have extended the abstract submission deadline to * May 5, 2025 * for the 8th annual International Network on Digital Labor conference to accommodate the diverse academic calendars of our international participants. See here: https://www.indl.network/indl-8/ We look forward to receiving your proposals! === Call for Papers INDL-8 "Contesting Digital Labor: Resistance, counter-uses, and new directions for research" Bologna, Italy, 10-12 September, 2025 [ Submission deadline extended until May 5, 2025 ] The International Digital Labor Network (INDL) is pleased to announce its eighth annual conference, which will be held at the University of Bologna, Italy, on September 10-12, 2025. INDL conferences provide a unique opportunity to share knowledge and new perspectives in research and practice related to digital labor. Broadly understood, the scope of this concept encompasses unpaid work on social media, paid work mediated by digital platforms (both location-based and online), formal employment in technology industries, and even traditional occupations that have undergone processes of digitization, platformization, and intensive use of big data and artificial intelligence. Each year, the organizers of the conference propose an overarching theme on which to particularly encourage submissions, as a way to reflect the rich diversity of views on this multifaceted object, to consolidate existing knowledge, and to highlight new ways forward. The theme of this year, “Contesting digital labor,” builds on the observation that the recent rise of digital labor parallels an unprecedented surge of forms of individual and collective resistance in multiple geographies and settings. The strikes of delivery riders in Latin America, the unionization of content moderators in Africa, the organization of data workers and social media influencers in Europe, accompany emerging and more informal initiatives of mutualism and solidarity as well as everyday acts of individual resistance. Digital labor is becoming a key site of contestation for the future of work and of technological development. The conference aims to explore a fundamental contradiction of digital labor. On the one hand, algorithms and digital technologies shape a new labor regime characterized by data extraction, widespread surveillance, and strict control on workers, which result in the fragmentation, individualization and casualization of jobs. On the other hand, digital labor also brings about an unexpected resurgence of labor conflicts. Most protests have been worker-led or initiated by grassroots organizations, while traditional trade unions have taken a leading role in some cases. Informal, sometimes individual actions of resistance have become increasingly common, in addition to formal, collective mobilizations. Some interventions have involved counter-uses of digital means in the workplace, for example through the creation of apps, tools, and software with the explicit aim of enabling workers to understand and reformulate their working conditions. In this perspective, digital affordances are open to interpretations, uses and practices that not only escape platforms’ surveillance but also establish social relationships other than those of labor exploitation, thereby undermining the efficacy of platforms’ power. This evidence suggests that digital platforms may not have an exclusive power to shape the digital age, and that workers, individually and collectively, can radically transform the trajectories of technological development. Uncovering the richness of collective and individual contestation practices that are emerging at the core of platform capitalism is essential to grasp the recent transformations of labor and the broader tendencies that are reshaping the digital age. This means looking at workers’ struggles not only as an object of research, but also as a crucial moment in which new knowledge is produced. Contestations reveal the reasons of workers’ grievances, grounded in their daily experiences, identities, skills, and aspirations. They bring to light aspects of labor organization and power asymmetries that would otherwise remain invisible, thereby potentially challenging the narratives of platforms. They allow comparing and contrasting the viewpoints of workers to those of intermediaries and clients, bringing more voices into the debate. Valuing this knowledge is a key goal of INDL-8 and an essential step to understand the current challenges and future perspectives of digital labor. This conference seeks to examine how platform workers navigate, challenge, and reshape algorithmic management systems while forging innovative forms of solidarity and collective action. It also aims to reflect on the perspectives that technological developments open for workers in order to escape everyday surveillance, to resist top-down control and to organize to defend their rights. For this purpose, this year’s INDL-8 conference invites submissions along four “Current topics” that explore these issues: Emerging forms of individual and collective action in digitally mediated work Workers’ resistance to algorithms Technology as a tool for worker organizing and collective action Legal frameworks, regulatory initiatives, and institutional responses Four more “Legacy topics” have been introduced, focusing on subjects that previously garnered substantial interest from conference presenters: Algorithmic management and labor control Platform cooperativism and alternative business models Platformisation and precariousness Gender and digital labor We also welcome submissions for a “Starting Topics” series, focusing on three emerging and currently under-researched areas that have the potential to drive meaningful progress in the field: the psycho-social and health-related risks of platform work the environmental challenges appertaining to digital labor the experiences, identities, purposes and viewpoints of the other “side” of the platforms, composed by clients and employers. We invite contributions from both confirmed and more junior academic researchers (also including PhD students), and from all professionals involved in the study of these themes, also including labor organizers and other practitioners. All disciplines involved in the study of labor and/or technology are welcome, for example economics, management, political science, law, sociology, psychology, history, geography, science & technology (STS) studies, media studies, design, and computer science. Submit your proposal Submission Guidelines: To submit, please click on the button above or visit: https://indl-8.sciencesconf.org/ Abstracts should: Have a maximum length of 400 words Be written in English Be submitted through the conference management system SciencesConf Please remember to specify: Your name and affiliation Title Abstract (including research objective, methodology, main findings and/or theoretical development, and where relevant, contribution to understanding worker organizing and resistance in digital labor) Through a drop-down menu, you will be asked to choose from among one of the 11 topics mentioned above (the four Current, the four Legacy, and the three Starting). You have the option to add a comment or a supporting file if needed. Abstract submission deadline: April 27, 2025. Submissions extended until May 5, 2025 Notification of acceptance: June 4, 2025 This edition of the INDL-8 conference is organized through a collaborative partnership between the University of Bologna, Fondazione Di Vittorio, DiPLab, and the International Labor Organization (ILO). -- Antonio A.

Il Prof. Meo scrive al Prof. Valditara, Ministro dell'Istruzione e del Merito
by Marco Ciurcina April 22, 2025

April 22, 2025

Il Presidente dell'Associazione per il Software Libero, Prof. Angelo Raffaele Meo, ha inviato una lettera al Ministro dell'Istruzione e del Merito, prof. Giuseppe Valditara, suggerendogli di considerare il software libero per evitare i danni che i prodotti proprietari stanno causando al sistema scolastico. Il Ministro, in reazione alla notizia che un’applicazione di registro elettronico utilizzata nelle scuole ha esposto gli utenti a pubblicità, ha annunciato l’avvio di un’analisi del problema. Il Prof. Meo, ricordando le norme del Codice dell'Amministrazione Digitale che impongono alle scuole che acquisiscono software di preferire software libero, propone al Ministro di tenerne conto nello svolgimento dell'analisi. Suggerisce anche di estendere il lavoro d'analisi all'uso da parte delle scuole di software di videoconferenza e di produttività personale. https://www.softwarelibero.it/il-prof-meo-scrive-al-prof-valditara-ministro… -- Avv.

urgente: pareri e consigli su richiesta copytrack
by Marco Fioretti April 22, 2025

April 22, 2025

Salve a tutti, ho appena ricevuto la richiesta parzialmente copiata qui sotto, di pagare 350 euro per una immagine che avrei inserito illegalmente in un post del mio blog 5 anni fa. Dico "avrei" perche' ovviamente non ricordo assolutamente i dettagli della cosa, ma 99,999... volte su 100 le immagini su quel blog sono screenshot a bassa risoluzione di PARTI di immagini. L'unica cosa di cui sono assolutamente sicuro e' che comunque stiano le cose aver usato quell'immagine non mi ha fruttato piu' di 1 Euro in totale, a essere proprio generosi. Inoltre, vedo online diversi "avvisi" che la compagnia in questione adotta pratiche quantomeno discutibili: https://brutallyhonestmicrostock.com/2024/10/11/from-interview-series-to-le… https://kanzlei-franz.com/copytrack-scam-or-legitimate/ ma non mi e' chiaro quanto quelle considerazioni valgano per sito gestito dall'Italia su hosting tedesco. A parte questo, che fare? Sul principio della cosa non ho nulla da obiettare, ma modi e importo mi lasciano basito. Quanto spazio ho per rispondergli "sul principio sono d'accordo, se davvero risulta che ho sbagliato, ma quella somma scordatevela, facciamo 10 Euro e pace"? E come? Grazie in anticipo per qualsiasi aiuto. Marco L'email che ho ricevuto: Sent via email to XXXXXXXXXXXX on April 22, 2025 Authorization request / Unauthorized image use - Case no: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXx Dear XXXXXXXXXXXXXXx We, COPYTRACK, are writing to you on behalf of our client XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX, who has assigned us the monitoring and protection of their licenses and image rights. On April 17, 2025 we have been informed that XXXXXXXXXXXx is likely using an image without permission and the client has exclusively commissioned us with the clarification, administration of the image rights for the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany and, if necessary, the enforcement of any copyright infringement through our partner lawyers. Images are protected by copyright law almost worldwide and infringements are actionable under the respective national law. Please see the attachment below for details. On behalf of our client, we must first determine if you have a valid license to use the images in question in the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany. If you have a valid license or any other legal justification to use these images, please reply to this email and include proof of license purchase and/or any other necessary information to validate the usage. Please note that you are obliged to provide the necessary information about the usage of the image to allow our client and us to verify the lawfulness of such usage. Please respond to this letter no later than May 2, 2025. If this is not the case, your use of the image material most likely constitutes a copyright infringement within the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany. If no settlement can be reached, we as Copytrack are directly instructed to enforce these rights for the territory in the Federal Republic of Germany through our German partner lawyers and, in addition, to instruct our respective partner lawyers in other countries to examine and, if necessary, enforce the infringement of the rights in the respective countries. You could then be legally obligated to compensate our client for the damage caused by this copyright infringement. Rights XXXXXXXXXXXXx holder Image found on: URL OF POST Online 2020 Since 3 steps to solving your case In order to resolve this case amicably with you, we request your cooperation. Please complete the following steps to close this case: 1. Check Review the evidence on this case by going to https://portal.copytrack.com https://portal.copytrack.com/ and entering CASE ID XXXXXXXXXXXX 2. Proof Show us proof of your license by uploading it or providing any other legal justification to use these images and if it is valid, we will close your case immediately; If you do not have a valid license or any other valid justification: 3. Compensation / License You now have the following 2 options: Option 1: Purchase of a subsequent image license (includes past and future use for one year after purchase). Option 2: Compensation (includes the previous use and requires the immediate deletion of the image). Image license (valid for 1 year from date of purchase) 389.59 € Compensation costs (past usage) 350.00 € Payment is due by May 21, 2025 Payments for both options can be made securely online at https:// portal.copytrack.com by entering CASE ID XXXXXXXXXXXXXX We accept PayPal, credit card and bank transfer. We calculate these fees based on our client's license history, as well as the duration of use and type of rights infringement. Failure to provide a proof or pay for a valid license may result in your case being referred to our partner attorney and significantly higher additional fees. To avoid further action, including legal action, provide proof of a valid license or any other relevant information by May 2, 2025, or acquire it by making payment in our online portal.
