Assistenti sessisti?
by don Luca Peyron May 23, 2019

May 23, 2019

Una ricerca dell'agenzia dell'Onu sostiene che le risposte spesso remissive e civettuole offerte dagli assistenti virtuali persino alle molestie verbali degli utenti rafforzano l'idea che le donne abbiano un ruolo subordinato. Buona lettura e buona giornata Dl www.corriere.it/tecnologia/19_maggio_22/assistenti-vocali-voci-femminili-de…

E se Facebook fosse una no profit?
by Niccolò Caranti May 23, 2019

May 23, 2019

Partendo dall'idea che il problema di fondo dietro alla disinformazione sia il modello di business di internet ho provato a immaginare Facebook come una no profit (un po' come Wikipedia): https://www.balcanicaucaso.org/Progetti/ESVEI/Notizie-Esvei/E-se-Facebook-f… Sono gradite ovviamente anche le critiche :) --- Niccolò Caranti OBC Transeuropa *Centro per la Cooperazione Internazionale* vicolo San Marco 1 <https://maps.google.com/?q=vicolo+San+Marco+1+38122+Trento+(TN)+-+Italia&en…> 38122 Trento (TN) - Italia <https://maps.google.com/?q=vicolo+San+Marco+1+38122+Trento+(TN)+-+Italia&en…> www.balcanicaucaso.org www.balcanicaucaso.org/eng Tel: +39 0461 1828617

[Creis_Terminal] Pour l’interopérabilité des grandes plateformes en ligne
by Mariella Berra May 22, 2019

May 22, 2019

*Pour l’interopérabilité des grandes plateformes en ligne* Lettre commune de 45 organisations de défense des libertés, organisations professionnelles, hébergeurs et FAI associatifs Le 21 mai 2019 Nous, défenseurs d’un Internet neutre, libre et ouvert, appelons le législateur à agir pour que les grandes plateformes deviennent interopérables avec les autres services Internet. *L’interopérabilité garantit à tout le monde de ne pas se trouver captif d’une plateforme* : de pouvoir librement la quitter, sans perdre ses liens sociaux, et de continuer à communiquer avec ses contacts. L’interopérabilité permet à quiconque de lire depuis un service A les contenus diffusés par ses contacts sur un service B, et d’y répondre comme s’il y était. L’interopérabilité est garantie lorsqu’elle repose sur des standards ouverts. Des services comme Facebook, Twitter et Youtube tiennent leur pouvoir du nombre élevé d’utilisateurs et d’utilisatrices qu’ils ont rendu captives : ce grand nombre incite d’autres personnes à rejoindre leur service, et leur captivité permet de leur imposer une surveillance constante à des fins publicitaires. Aujourd’hui, nombreux sont celles et ceux qui souhaiteraient y échapper mais sont contraints d’y rester sous peine de perdre le contact avec leurs relations. Pourtant, en dehors de ces plateformes, des services interopérables réunissent déjà des millions de personnes (Mastodon, Diaspora, PeerTube…), notamment via le protocole d’interopérabilité ActivityPub publié par le W3C en 2018. Ces réseaux décentralisés, basés sur des logiciels libres, sont co-hébergés par une multitude d’acteurs distribuant largement les coûts entre eux, ce qui contribue à l’émergence de modèles économiques bien plus respectueux des libertés que celui de la publicité ciblée. Migrer vers ces services permettrait aussi d’échapper à l’environnement toxique entretenu sur Facebook, Youtube ou Twitter. Ces géants favorisent la diffusion des contenus qui maintiennent au mieux notre attention, souvent les plus anxiogènes ou caricaturaux. À l’opposé de la voie prise par les récentes lois de censure, il ne faut pas espérer que ces plateformes freinent la diffusion de propos haineux, trompeurs ou dangereux, car leur modèle économique, au contraire, renforce cette diffusion. *Il est urgent de permettre à toute personne d’échapper à la surveillance et à la toxicité de ces grandes plateformes en rejoignant des services libres, décentralisés et à taille humaine sans conséquences nocives sur ses liens sociaux. La loi doit imposer cette interopérabilité.* 45 premiers signataires : 42l, AFUL ,Alsace Réseau Neutre, April, Aquilenet, Assodev-Marsnet, Bee Home, CECIL,*Creis–Terminal*, Devloprog, Domaine public, FACil, FDN, Framasoft, Franciliens.net, Globenet, Hadoly, Hoga, Iloth, Illyse, La Quadrature du Net, La mère Zaclys, Labomedia, Landinux, Ligue des Droits de l’Homme, LinuQ, Lorraine Data Network, Midway’s Network, MiNET, Mycélium, Nubo scrl-fs, Observatoire des Libertés et du Numérique, Parinux, PauLLA, Picasoft, Projet Internet et Citoyenneté, Revlibre, Ritimo, Rhizome, Sud-Ouest.org, Stolon, Syndicat ASSO – Solidaires, Syndicat des Avocats de France, T.A.C.T.I.C. asbl, Tetaneutral, Yunohost http://www.lecreis.org/?p=2725

Saluti, Eleonora ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: <cristina.pronello(a)polito.it> Date: Wed, May 22, 2019 at 4:09 PM Subject: INDAGINE SUI VEICOLI AUTONOMI – SURVEY ON AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES To: Care colleghe e Cari colleghi, Vi sarei grata se poteste rispondere alla nostra indagine sulla percezione dei veicoli autonomi e – possibilmente – diffonderla ai vostri contatti, sia quelli più prossimi che in giro per il mondo. Siamo infatti interessati al confronto interculturale in merito alla previsione del comportamento grazie all’utilizzo di teorie psicologiche, pertanto la diffusione *“world-wide”* del questionario è auspicabile e perseguibile anche grazie al vostro aiuto. A tale proposito il questionario è stato già tradotto in diverse lingue ed è disponibile in italiano, francese, inglese, spagnolo, cinese e polacco (*coming soon*). Si può compilare cliccando sui link riportati sotto e, comunque, da ogni link è possibile scegliere la lingua (in alto nella schermata).

The Most Expensive Lesson Of My Life: Details of SIM port hack
by Alberto Cammozzo May 22, 2019

May 22, 2019

Questo attacco mette in evidenza quello che dico da anni: una 2-factor authentication che si appoggia a un singolo device dipende dalla sicurezza del device. Cioè è insicura. Non riguarda solo i wallet bitcoin: dovrebbero prenderne atto soprattutto le banche, che spingono app mobile e 2FA *sullo stesso device mobile*. Chi ha il controllo del device fa quello che vuole... <https://medium.com/coinmonks/the-most-expensive-lesson-of-my-life-details-o…> I lost north of $100,000 last Wednesday. It evaporated over a 24-hour time span in a “SIM port attack” that drained my Coinbase account. It has been four days since the incident and I’m gutted. I have zero appetite; my sleep is restless; I am awash in feelings of anxiety, remorse, and embarrassment. This was the single most expensive lesson of my life and I want to share my experience + lessons learned with as many people as possible. My goal is to increase awareness about these types of attacks and to motivate you to increase the security of your online identity. This is still very raw (I haven’t even told my family yet); please reserve judgement with regards to the naive security practices laid out in this post. Details Of The Attack You might be asking yourself, what exactly is a “SIM port attack”? In order to describe the attack, let’s examine a typical online identity. The diagram below should look familiar to most people. [...]

Far-right Facebook groups 'spreading hate to millions in Europe' | World news | The Guardian
by Alberto Cammozzo May 22, 2019

May 22, 2019

<https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/may/22/far-right-facebook-groups-spr…> A web of far-right Facebook accounts spreading fake news and hate speech to millions of people across Europe has been uncovered by the campaign group Avaaz. Facebook, which is struggling to clean up the platform and salvage its reputation, has already taken down accounts with about 6 million followers before voting in the European elections begins on Thursday. It was still investigating hundreds of other accounts with an additional 26 million followers, Avaaz said. In total, the group reported more than 500 suspect groups and Facebook pages operating across France, Germany, Italy, the UK, Poland and Spain. Most were either spreading fake news or using false pages and profiles to artificially boost the content of parties or sites they supported, in violation of Facebook’s rules. The networks were far more popular than the official pages of far-right and anti-EU populist groups in those countries. The pages taken down by Facebook so far had been viewed half a billion times, Avaaz estimated[...]

High-tech Estonia votes online for European Parliament
by Enrico Nardelli May 21, 2019

May 21, 2019

Estonia was crippled by cyberattacks on government networks during a dispute with Russia in 2007. Today the tiny tech-savvy nation is so certain of its cyber defenses that it is the only country in the world to allow internet voting for the entire electorate, in every election, and thousands have already done so in the European Parliament elections. Internet voting — or i-voting —has been available since 2005 in the nation that gave the world Skype, and the percentage of voters using the internet to cast ballots has increased with each election, reaching 44% of voters in national election in March.
