I vigili scandagliano i post sul Web per capire cosa pensano i cittadini
by don Luca Peyron Feb. 6, 2020

Feb. 6, 2020

L’applicativo in uso alla municipale per capire il “sentiment” su alcuni temi. Al di là dei profili più pratici - compiti dei vigili urbani - è interessante il profilo sociale di queste scelte, una su tutte il peso di questi risultati per il decisore politico. Alcuni, i poveri soprattutto, relegati sempre più nell'irrilevanza a motivo dell'inconsistenza social, per tacere naturalmente di bot e similia.

NSPCC urges Facebook to stop encryption plans - BBC News
by Alberto Cammozzo Feb. 6, 2020

Feb. 6, 2020

<https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-51391301> Child-protection organisations say Facebook's decision to strongly encrypt messages will give offenders a place to hide. The company is moving ahead with plans to implement the measure on Facebook Messenger and Instagram Direct. But more than 100 organisations, led by the NSPCC, have signed an open letter warning the plans will undermine efforts to catch abusers. They say Facebook has failed to address concerns about child safety. End-to-end encryption, already used on Facebook-owned WhatsApp, means no-one, including the company that owns the platform, can see the content of sent messages. And the letter urges the company to stop the rollout of its plans until "sufficient safeguards" are in place. "At a time when we could be looking to build upon years of sophisticated initiatives, Facebook instead seems inclined to blindfold itself," the letter says. "We urge you to recognise and accept that an increased risk of child abuse being facilitated on or by Facebook is not a reasonable trade-off to make. "Children should not be put in harm's way either as a result of commercial decisions or design choices." Among the other signatories were Barnardo's, 5Rights, the International Centre For Missing and Exploited Children, and Child USA. 'Safety first' A spokesman for Facebook said protecting the wellbeing of children on its platform was "critically important" to it. "We have led the industry in safeguarding children from exploitation and we are bringing this same commitment and leadership to our work on encryption," he said. "We are working closely with child-safety experts, including NCMEC [the US National Center for Missing and Exploited Children], law enforcement, governments and other technology companies, to help keep children safe online." In 2018, Facebook made 16.8 million reports of child sexual exploitation and abuse content to the NCMEC. The National Crime Agency said this had led to more than 2,500 arrests and 3,000 children made safe. But, the NCMEC estimates, if Facebook implements end-to-end encryption, it could mean 70% of these vital reports are lost. In October, Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg said the increased risk of child abuse "weighed heavily" on him when considering the company's end-to-end encryption plan. And Thursday's letter echoes concerns related to terrorism, child abuse and other series criminal activity raised by Home Secretary Priti Patel and her counterparts in the US and Australia last year. A BBC News investigation last year found encrypted apps were taking over from the dark web as a place to host criminals. But WhatsApp boss Will Cathcart has previously posted on Hacker News: "End-to-end encryption protects that right for over a billion people every day." And Jo O'Reilly, digital privacy advocate at ProPrivacy, said many users would probably welcome Facebook's plans. "It will make it significantly less likely that hackers will be able to intercept messages, going a long way to protect users from phishing and cyber-stalking," she said. "It is the kind of of decisive action users will be looking for to reassure them that their private conversations really are private in the wake of privacy scandals." [...]

Sono da qualche anno il presidente del LUG di Trento e Provincia, LinuxTrent: https://www.linuxtrent.it Vi propongo questa recente intervista a Bruce Schneier, con trascrizione automatica in inglese generata dalla piattaforma listennotes (attenzione, non sincronizzata a causa della pubblicità iniziale).
