Perez de Acha Expires: September 13, 2017 Derechos Digitales March 12, 2017 Freedom of Association on the Internet draft-tenoever-hrpc-association-00 Abstract This documents aims to document the relation between Internet protocols and the right to freedom of assembly and association. The Internet increasingly mediates our lives and thus the ability to excercise human rights. Since Internet protocols play a central role in the management, development and use of the Internet the relation between the two should be documented and adverse impacts on this human right should be mitigated. On the other hand there have also been methods of protest, a form of freedom of assembly, on the Internet that have been harmful to Internet connectivity and the Internet infrastructure, such as DDoS attacks. This document aims to document forms of protest, association and assembly that do not have a negative impact on the Internet infrastructure.

*Beijing to release national artificial intelligence development plan* PUBLISHED : Sunday, 12 March, 2017, 6:17pm UPDATED : Sunday, 12 March, 2017, 10:20pm /Meng Jing// / Beijing is drafting a national development plan on artificial intelligence and setting up a special fund as part of an effort to push the technology’s application in the economy and national security, said China’s top technology official. Wan Gang, the minister of science and technology, said that the plan, which aims to facilitate the adoption of the technology in a wide range of areas, including “economy, social welfare, environmental protection and national security”, is expected to be released soon after the National People’s Congress and Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, the annual meeting of China’s parliament, which will end on Wednesday. “In the meantime, the central government will set up a special fund for the fundamental research and core technologies [of artificial intelligence],” Wan said at a press conference on the sidelines of the ongoing Two Sessions on Saturday, without disclosing the size of the fund. Wan’s comments on AI comes amid calls by some of China’s most influential business and technology leaders to make the technology a priority on the government’s agenda.

*Why We Can’t Look Away From Our Screens* Claudia Dreifus A CONVERSATION WITH MARCH 6, 2017 In a new book, “Irresistible: The Rise of Addictive Technology and the Business of Keeping Us Hooked,” the social psychologist Adam Alter warns that many of us — youngsters, teenagers, adults — are addicted to modern digital products. Not figuratively, but literally addicted. Dr. Alter, 36, is an associate professor at the Stern School of Business at New York University who researches psychology and marketing. We spoke for two hours last week at the offices of The New York Times. Our conversation has been edited and condensed for clarity and brevity. *Q. What makes you think that people have become addicted to digital devices and social media?* […] Continua qui: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/06/science/technology-addiction-irresistibl…

Paper: "The influence of access to eReaders, computers and mobile phones on children's book reading frequency"
by J.C. DE MARTIN March 12, 2017

*The influence of access to eReaders, computers and mobile phones on children's book reading frequency* Margaret K. Merga, Saiyidi Mat Roni http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.compedu.2017.02.016 Highlights • Children underutilised devices for recreational book reading, even when daily book readers. • Reading frequency was less when children had access to mobile phones. • Reading in general was less when children were given access to more digital devices. Abstract Regular recreational book reading is a practice that confers substantial educative benefit. However, not all book types may be equally beneficial, with paper book reading more strongly associated with literacy benefit than screen-based reading at this stage, and a paucity of research in this area. While children in developed countries are gaining ever-increasing levels of access to devices at home, relatively little is known about the influence of access to devices with eReading capability, such as Kindles, iPads, computers and mobile phones, on young children's reading behaviours, and the extent to which these devices are used for reading purposes when access is available. Young people are gaining increasing access to devices through school-promoted programs; parents face aggressive marketing to stay abreast of educational technologies at home; and schools and libraries are increasingly their eBook collections, often at the expense of paper book collections. Data from the 997 children who participated in the 2016 Western Australian Study in Children's Book Reading were analysed to determine children's level of access to devices with eReading capability, and their frequency of use of these devices in relation to their recreational book reading frequency. Respondents were found to generally underutilise devices for reading purposes, even when they were daily book readers. In addition, access to mobile phones was associated with reading infrequency. It was also found that reading frequency was less when children had access to a greater range of these devices. URL: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0360131517300489

IFRI Report: "Japan: The Reluctant Cyberpower"
by J.C. DE MARTIN March 10, 2017

March 10, 2017

IFRI - Institut français des relations internationales Franz-Stefan GADY *Japan: The Reluctant Cyberpower* https://www.ifri.org/en/publications/notes-de-lifri/asie-visions/japan-relu… Japan’s cyberdefenses remain underdeveloped compared to the country’s great reliance on information and communications technology. Despite Japan’s initial slow response to the security challenges emerging from cyberspace, this paper posits that cybersecurity under the administration of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has moved to the core of the country’s national security policy. The 2020 Olympics Games are a major catalyst for this. cv_av91.jpg Over the last two years the Japanese government has indeed laid the structural and legal foundations for becoming a serious player in cyberspace. That effort, however, remains underfunded and is slowed by overly complicated intergovernmental coordination processes and stovepiping within the government. While Japan remains a reluctant cyberpower with a decidedly defensive outlook and a particularly change-resistant bureaucracy, plagued by vertical compartmentalization, recent initiatives and policies have made it clear that the country is moving in the direction of potentially becoming one of Asia’s more advanced cyberpowers in the not-too-distant future. This paper first outlines an analytical framework used to evaluate Japan’s current standing and progress as a cyberpower: from whole of government (WoG) to whole of nation (WoN) and whole of system (WoS). The following three sections discuss in detail the evolutionary stages in the development of Japan’s national cybersecurity strategy. The last section deals with the Japan Self-Defense Forces’ changing role in cyberspace and how it is slowly embracing a more militarized response to state-sponsored cyberthreats. The administration of Prime Minister Abe has been careful not to abandon the Japan Self-Defense Forces’ defensive posture in cyberspace and has not indicated that it will develop offensive cyberwar capabilities. This, however, may change should the new US administration abandon the United States’ historic solid defense commitment to Japan. In that respect, Japan’s deepening of engagement with like-minded countries will assume even greater importance over the next four years.
