"The ‘internet of things’ is sending us back to the Middle Ages"
by J.C. DE MARTIN Sept. 29, 2017

Sept. 29, 2017

*The ‘internet of things’ is sending us back to the Middle Ages* September 6, 2017 1.39am BST /Joshua A.T. Fairfield// //Professor of Law, Washington and Lee University // / Internet-enabled devices are so common, and so vulnerable, that hackers recently broke into a casino through its fish tank <https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/innovations/wp/2017/07/21/how-a-fish-ta…>. The tank had internet-connected sensors measuring its temperature and cleanliness. The hackers got into the fish tank’s sensors and then to the computer used to control them, and from there to other parts of the casino’s network. The intruders were able to copy 10 gigabytes of data to somewhere in Finland. By gazing into this fish tank, we can see the problem with “internet of things” devices: We don’t really control them. And it’s not always clear who does – though often software designers and advertisers are involved. In my recent book, “Owned: Property, Privacy and the New Digital Serfdom <http://www.cambridge.org/gb/academic/subjects/law/property-law/owned-proper…>,” I discuss what it means that our environment is seeded with more sensors than ever before.

G7 ICT Industry Draft Declaration - sezione Internet
by gabriele elia Sept. 28, 2017

Sept. 28, 2017

interessante il documento pubblicato , segnalo alcuni punti , p.es. l'accesso ai sorgenti di prodotti mass market per motivi di sicurezza (pratica evidentemente comune in alcuni? tutti? i paesi tanto dacitarla nel doc) http://www.g7italy.it/sites/default/files/documents/G7%20ICT_Industry_draft… 12. In this pursuit, we reiterate the following principles, which we believe support the global, unfragmented, open, free, interoperable, reliable and secure Internet, foster investments and trust in the .... 12b. The promotion and protection of the free flow of information across borders. 12c. Respecting privacy as a fundamental value and respecting applicable frameworks for privacy and data protection. 12d. The recognition that the same human rights and fundamental freedoms, that people have offline apply and must also be protected online, including freedom of expression and of peaceful assembly and association. .... 12k. The opposition to the generally applicable policies that require access to or transfer of source code of mass market software as a condition of market access while recognising the legitimate interest of Governments in assessing the security of these products. _ e una curiosità: la parola più importante è "digital" [cid:21eaa1f8-121c-4eaf-b28a-83fbba6ad116]

GDRP e giornalismo d'inchiesta / leaks
by Claudio Agosti Sept. 28, 2017

Sept. 28, 2017

Buongiorno! come il titolo cerca di sintetizzare: immaginate un gruppo di giornalismo investigativo che riceve leaks, che collezione informazioni su un *data subject* con i medesimi accorgimenti che userebbe uno stalker, e che ogni tanto pubblica risultati delle loro indagini. con la GDPR, i soggetti sotto indagine avranno nuovi diritti? Stanno nascendo vari gruppo investigativi che si sono affiancati al giornalismo tradizionale, in italia IRPI, nei balcani la pluripremiata OCCRP... ma non ho ancora letto delle analisi sull'impatto che ci sarà. Idee? grazie! Claudio -- Claudio Agosti, https://facebook.tracking.exposed - https://twitter.com/_vecna PGP mail: claudio﹫tracking・exposed - key here https://keybase.io/vecna

Don’t let the rich get even richer on the assets we all share | George Monbiot
by Alberto Cammozzo Sept. 27, 2017

Sept. 27, 2017

Bel pezzo di Monbiot sulla net neutrality con bei riferimenti. <https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/sep/27/rich-assets-resources…> Are you a statist or a free marketeer? Do you believe that intervention should be minimised or that state ownership and regulation should be expanded? This is our central political debate. But it is based on a mistaken premise. Both sides seem to agree that state and market are the only sectors worth discussing: politics should move one way or the other along this linear scale. In fact, there are four major economic sectors: the market, the state, the household and the commons. The neglect of the last two by both neoliberals and social democrats has created many of the monstrosities of our times. [...]

"I asked Tinder for my data. It sent me 800 pages of my deepest, darkest secrets" -
by gabriele elia Sept. 27, 2017

Sept. 27, 2017

cosa nota e ci sono altri che hanno scritto della loro esperienza (ricordo uno studente austriaco nel 2012) ma è una lettura interessante per gli aspetti "psicologici" della condivisione gabriele https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/sep/26/tinder-personal-data-dat… [https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/77ba5bfb6e31d1441c7e7cb94aa3e147dc31b538/114…]<https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/sep/26/tinder-personal-data-dat…> I asked Tinder for my data. It sent me 800 pages of my deepest, darkest secrets<https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/sep/26/tinder-personal-data-dat…> The dating app knows me better than I do, but these reams of intimate information are just the tip of the iceberg. What if my data is hacked – or sold? www.theguardian.com A July 2017 study revealed that Tinder users are excessively willing to disclose information without realising it. ,,,,, “You are lured into giving away all this information,” says Luke Stark, a digital technology sociologist at Dartmouth University. “Apps such as Tinder are taking advantage of a simple emotional phenomenon; we can’t feel data. This is why seeing everything printed strikes you. We are physical creatures. We need materiality.” Reading through the 1,700 Tinder messages I’ve sent since 2013, I took a trip into my hopes, fears, sexual preferences and deepest secrets. Tinder knows me so well. It knows the real, inglorious version of me who copy-pasted the same joke to match 567, 568, and 569; who exchanged compulsively with 16 different people simultaneously one New Year’s Day, and then ghosted<https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2017/may/08/cushioning-breadcrumbi…> 16 of them. “What you are describing is called secondary implicit disclosed information,” explains Alessandro Acquisti, professor of information technology at Carnegie Mellon University. “Tinder knows much more about you when studying your behaviour on the app. It knows how often you connect and at which times; the percentage of white men, black men, Asian men you have matched; which kinds of people are interested in you; which words you use the most; how much time people spend on your picture before swiping you, and so on. Personal data is the fuel of the economy. Consumers’ data is being traded and transacted for the purpose of advertising.”

Nexa Center for Internet and Society Newsletter Se non visualizzi correttamente questo messaggio clicca qui <http://nexa.polito.it/lunch-54> NEXA 54° Nexa Lunch Seminar Mercoledi 27 settembre 2017, ore 13.00 - 14.00 Politecnico di Torino http://nexa.polito.it/lunch-54 Beyond data automation, towards data personalization Speaker Giuseppe Rizzo (ISMB) This event will be webcast live: http://nexa.polito.it/upcoming-events Nowadays, all industry sectors are witnessing a severe transformation of the internal processes driven by a *massive adoption of data* to foster automation where the human role is primarily meant to envision and design, train, and instantiate once the automated process that will ultimately regulate the value generation. In the context of two European projects, namely 3cixty <https://www.3cixty.com> and PasTime <http://www.pas-time.org>, both supported by the European Institute of Innovation & Technology (EIT), we have envisioned and experimented with a forward looking approach towards *the automated personalization of travel offerings*. Leveraging a data deluge of crowdsourced travelers’ data city whereabouts, dedicated city data catalogues of points of interest and events, travelers’ past bookings and travel choices, we have streamlined a fully automated pipeline of data collection and integration, semantic graph materialization, and travel recommendations, bridging the gap between data automation and final customer consumption. The aim of this lunch seminar is to *illustrate the basic principles of our technology solution based on semantic technologies and recommender algorithms*, we will illustrate how we put back the traveler at the center of our technology implementation, and will share some insights about the impact of this solution. /Ingresso libero - Saranno disponibili panini e bibite per coloro che si saranno registrati su http://lunch54.eventbrite.com entro il 25 settembre./ BIOGRAFIE - e informazioni supplementari [RIZZO] Dr. *GIUSEPPE RIZZO <http://giusepperizzo.github.io>* is Senior Data Scientist in Istituto Superiore Mario Boella, a research center located in Turin and focused on ICT research and innovation. Giuseppe is currently PI of ISMB in PasTime (EIT Digital, no. 17164) and has participated in successful International projects such as 3cixty (PI of ISMB), FREME, LinkedTV, Apps4EU, EventMedia and OpenSem. He does research at the intersection of semantics and natural language understanding with a focus on machine learning and a particular interest in automation as whole. He is the main architect and co-investigator of the NERD framework.
