by Antonio Vetrò Feb. 13, 2017

Feb. 13, 2017

Carissimi, faccio eco qui ad una richiesta del team Open Government Partnership per l'Italia. Sul sito open.gov.it è stata pubblicata la sezione dedicata alla Settimana per l'Amministrazione Aperta, che si terrà dal 4 marzo all’11 marzo, hashtag #SAA2017. Alla pagina open.gov.it/saa <http://open.gov.it/saa> trovate la mappa con tutte le iniziative già inserite in programma, di cui una si terrà proprio al Centro Nexa (con la collaborazione di una start-up di Torino, trovate maggiori info su: https://nexa.polito.it/iodd2017 <https://nexa.polito.it/iodd2017> ) Nella stessa pagina si trova anche il modulo per inserire ulteriori iniziative: qualora siate promotori di altre iniziative, vi invito a auto-censirvi direttamente lì. Nel caso siate a conoscenza di iniziative non ancora censite, l’invito allora è quello di darne notizia agli organizzatori. Inoltre la richiesta del team OGP Italia è quella di dare diffusione alla pagina: "Come sapete, la Settimana dell’Amministrazione aperta è un’azione inserita nell’action plan OGP proprio su richiesta di alcune delle organizzazioni della società civile. Ci aspettiamo quindi il vostro decisivo contributo per la migliore organizzazione della prima edizione. L'agenda rimarrà aperta per l'inserimento fino all'inizio della SAA, ma è opportuno che i vostri contributi giungano al più presto per avere una più ampia diffusione e partecipare alle campagne di comunicazione per la SAA che saranno attivate nelle prossime settimane. " Cordialmente Antonio -- Antonio Vetrò, Ph.D. Director of Research Nexa Center for Internet and Society DAUIN, Politecnico di Torino https://nexa.polito.it/people/avetro

Report: “Value in the Commons Economy”
by J.C. DE MARTIN Feb. 13, 2017

Feb. 13, 2017

“What is at the heart of the problems erupting worldwide? Is anything good emerging from these multiple crises? Can a new system grow from within the old one? Is it already here, visible and thriving? *These questions are addressed by Michel Bauwens and Vasilis Niaros in the report, “Value in the Commons Economy”, co-published by Heinrich Böll Foundation and the P2PFoundation. *The authors’ main thesis describes the ‘value crisis’ affecting our current world as a sign of an underlying transformation in our ‘value system’. Society is shifting from a system based on value created in a market system (through labor and capital) to one which recognizes broader value streams. These streams are experienced as ‘contributions’ to structures based on the co-construction of shared resources, also known as ‘commons’. While this new system of value creation and distribution still operates within the mainstream value orthodoxy today, the Value in the Commons Economy report emphasizes how pioneering communities are working on expanding the new system from within, and building the potential to eventually break free of those confines.” The complete report is available here: http://commonstransition.org/value-commons-economy/

Ireland challenges Facebook in threat to cross-border data pact
by Alberto Cammozzo Feb. 13, 2017

Feb. 13, 2017

Nuova puntata nel "serial" US-EU data-transfer. <http://www.reuters.com/article/us-eu-privacy-facebook-idUSKBN15M1K8> Ireland's privacy watchdog has launched a bid to refer Facebook's data transfer mechanism to the European Union's top court in a landmark case that could put the shifting of data across the Atlantic under renewed legal threat. The move is the latest challenge to the various methods by which large tech firms such as Google and Apple move personal data of EU citizens back to the United States. [...] Ireland's data protection commissioner, who has jurisdiction over Facebook as its European headquarters are in Dublin, wants The Court of Justice of the European Union to determine the validity of Facebook's "model contracts" - common legal arrangements used by thousands of firms to transfer personal data outside the 28-nation bloc.

Analisi su un tema che alla fine deciderà il futuro dell’impero americano Saluti Gabriele http://irishtechnews.ie/sorry-europe-but-trump-wants-your-data/ Home<http://irishtechnews.ie/> Big Data<http://irishtechnews.ie/category/big-data/> [http://irishtechnews.ie/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/donald-trump-1757562_128…] Sorry, Europe, but Trump wants your data Simon Cocking<http://irishtechnews.ie/author/sarah-paddle-swim/>January 31, 2017 Interesting guest post by Marc R Gagné MAPP<https://twitter.com/OttLegalRebels> Senior Privacy and Data Advocate, Cyber Intelligence and Director @ Gagne Legal. See more about Marc here<http://irishtechnews.net/ITN3/cyber-and-data-security-insights-with-marc-r-…>. Image from pixabay here<https://pixabay.com/en/donald-trump-politics-presidential-1757562/>. In the struggle between national security and individual privacy, President Trump has made it clear that he chooses security. What does this mean for the rest of the world? Just as it seemed the EU was finally managing to hoist U.S. companies up into higher standards for data protection, along comes a new administration to change everything. During his first week in office, President Trump signed an executive order that essentially unravels years’ worth of government and business negotiation toward better protection for data collected in Europe. The reason? It’s no less than national security. To quote the executive order itself, “Many aliens who illegally enter the United States and those who overstay or otherwise violate the terms of their visas present a significant threat to national security and public safety.” And how will the new order address that threat? Partly by altering the privacy rights of non-U.S. citizens, even though they may never set foot on U.S. soil. Sec. 14, entitled “Privacy Act”, states, “Agencies shall, to the extent consistent with applicable law, ensure that their privacy policies exclude persons who are not United States citizens or lawful permanent residents from the protections of the Privacy Act regarding personally identifiable information.” What’s at Stake: the EU-US Privacy Shield There’s a lot at stake here. Data transfer frameworks are a key policy issue these days and for many in the U.S., the topic suddenly came alive after Trump was inaugurated. The way companies like Facebook collect, handle, and store personal data on millions of users has been a hot topic of discussion and regulation for years now but only recently has it permeated the consciousness of the general public in the U.S. But here comes President Trump to put a spotlight on the heart of the matter for everyone to see: security vs. privacy. It may as well be “security or privacy”. Framed this way in no uncertain terms as a dichotomy – an “either-or” proposition, the whole issue of data transfer and privacy rights is now cast in an “us against the terrorists” framework. It’s a sentiment it seems Trump supporters can clearly understand and get behind. Others, including major blue-chip businesses, see the issue in a different light. This new development directly threatens an important agreement between the U.S and the EU, called Privacy Shield. Privacy Shield essentially holds U.S. companies to data privacy standards that rival the ultra-tight protection that’s already in place for EU citizens’ data. Essentially, raising the bar on privacy makes EU companies more willing to do business with U.S. companies. Privacy Shield governs the sharing of data between the EU and the U.S but with Trump’s rollback on privacy policy, the agreement may fall apart, hence business could suffer as U.S. companies find themselves in violation of EU data transfer and privacy protection laws. Big Companies Were On Board, Too Google, Apple, Amazon, IBM, and almost 1500 other companies were all set to uphold their end of Privacy Shield. They had signed an agreement under the guise of Digital Europe, a collective of tech companies who support the notion of stringent data protection policies like they have in the EU. By signing, companies essentially promised to uphold EU-level protection of data they collect there. That means, no matter where collected data eventually winds up, EU citizens can feel confident their personal information is protected. So, why doesn’t the United States have progressive data protection and privacy laws on the books yet? “Mom, It’s Not Fair- All My Friends are Doing it!” The problem here is governance. In the U.S., the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) has jurisdiction over Internet Service Providers (ISPs) but companies like Facebook and Google are regulated by a different agency, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). When either one of these agencies tries to toughen up regulations, those affected cry “unfair!” and point out how the other agency isn’t imposing such strict rules. That’s exactly what happened when the new Broadband Consumer Privacy Rules were passed by the FCC. Imposed only last November, they require ISPs to ask for permission from users before they may share browsing data and other types of personal information with third-party organizations like advertising agencies. In protest, ISPs point out that Google and Facebook don’t have to abide by strict privacy standards so why should they? But the FCC maintains there’s a clear answer to ISP’s protests of unfairness. Since consumers often face limited choices when it comes to who they hire to deliver their data, it’s only logical that ISPs should be held to tougher privacy standards. The ISP industry isn’t exactly teeming with a multitude of competitors. It’s a case of two governing bodies setting different rules with different levels of stringency. Compare it to different sets of parents who set varying degrees of limitations on their children. Once the kids get wind of how “lenient” their friends’ parents are, all bets are off and you’ve got a mess on your hands. It’s going to be that much tougher to enforce your rules. This is the type of bickering that takes place when there’s no central authority, no over-arching regulatory body in place for settling matters on a national scale. The EU has it. Canada has it. But so far the United States has made no move toward forming a single, central authority on data protection and privacy matters. The Rest of the World For the rest of the world, it’s an uncertain future if you’re at all concerned with what happens to your personal information after you do business with a company in the United States. For the U.S., there could be negative repercussions for businesses who curry favor with customers in the EU. That may well be true for companies who want to take part in any type of international trade. For the rest of the world, it’s perhaps a larger message, that for now at least, U.S. domestic security and immigration matters take precedence over the privacy rights of the rest of the world.

Atlantic: "'Give Us Your Passwords'"
by J.C. DE MARTIN Feb. 11, 2017

Feb. 11, 2017

*'Give Us Your Passwords'* / //What happens if border agents are allowed to demand access to your phone and online accounts—and turn you away if you don’t comply?/ Kaveh Waddell Feb 10, 2017 “What sites do you visit? And give us your passwords.” That’s what U.S. Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly wants foreign visitors to hear before they’re allowed to enter the United States. “If they don’t want to give us that information, then they don’t come,” he said, while testifying in front of the House Homeland Security Committee on Tuesday. The suggestion was met with horror among privacy advocates. “With that kind of access, they can not only see what you’ve publicly posted, but things you haven't posted yet, private messages, private lists, they can impersonate you, and even do these things on accident,” wrote Joseph Lorenzo Hall, the chief technologist at the Center for Democracy and Technology, on his website. “This kind of access is profoundly invasive.” Kelly’s proposal goes beyond most interpretations of the law—but that doesn’t mean it’s not already followed, occasionally and informally, by American border agents. And the U.S. isn’t the only country with unclear standards for border searches. […] Continua qui: https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2017/02/give-us-your-passwor…

Data commissioner tells court US law fails to protect privacy
by Alessandro Mantelero Feb. 11, 2017

Feb. 11, 2017

http://www.irishtimes.com/business/technology/data-commissioner-tells-court… Nel mirino le standard contractual clauses (SCCs), su cui personalmente nutro dubbi da tempo. Trascendendo dallo specifico caso dei flussi EU-US, va infatti osservato in via generale come criticità sussistano sia con riguardo al rispetto delle SCCs da parte degli operatori, sia in merito all'obbligo per il data importer di verificare se le norme vigenti nel Paese di destinazione comportino un "substantial adverse effect on the guarantees provided for under these clauses". Il tema, per chi volesse, è stato trattato nel volume curato da Resta e Zeno-Zencovich (La protezione transnazionale dei dati personali: dai 'Safe Harbour Principles' al 'Privacy Shield', Roma, 2016), nei seguenti contributi: - Mantelero, A.
