EDPS Opinion on the Privacy Shield draft
by Guido Gorgoni May 31, 2016

May 31, 2016

Non mi pare sia già passato in lista (sennò vi prego di scusarmi), ieri l'EDPS ha emanato un parere sul draft del Privacy Shield, in cui tra l'altro si osserva "The draft Privacy Shield may be a step in the right direction but as currently formulated it does not adequately include, in our view, all appropriate safeguards to protect the EU rights of the individual to privacy and data protection also with regard to judicial redress. Significant improvements are needed should the European Commission wish to adopt an adequacy decision. In particular, the EU should get additional reassurances in terms of necessity and proportionality, instead of legitimising routine access to transferred data by U.S. authorities on the basis of criteria having a legal basis in the recipient country, but not as such in the EU, as affirmed by the Treaties, EU rulings and constitutional traditions common to the Member States."

" Facebook, Twitter, Google, and Microsoft agree to EU hate speech rules"
by J.C. DE MARTIN May 31, 2016

May 31, 2016

*Facebook, Twitter, Google, and Microsoft agree to EU hate speech rules** * /New "code of conduct" aims to combat illegal hate speech and terrorist propaganda/ By Amar Toor on May 31, 2016 05:56 Facebook, Twitter, Microsoft, and YouTube today agreed to European regulations that require them to review "the majority of" hateful online content within 24 hours of being notified — and to remove it, if necessary — as part of a new "code of conduct" aimed at combating hate speech and terrorist propaganda across the EU. The new rules, announced Tuesday by the European Commission, also oblige the tech companies to identify and promote "independent counter-narratives" to hate speech and propaganda published online.

FBI Chooses Secrecy Over Locking Up Criminals
by Alberto Cammozzo May 31, 2016

May 31, 2016

La compromissione del computer tramite malware potrebbe scagionare l'accusato. Perciò la difesa vuole valutare il trojan. Se ho capito bene, si riduce al dubbio se posso essere considerato responsabile di azioni compiute con un computer compromesso da un trojan, seppure di iniettato da una agenzia governativa. [...] In the most recent example, the FBI may be forced to drop its case against a Washington State school administrator charged with possessing child porn because it doesn’t want to tell the court or the defense how it got its evidence—even in the judge’s chambers. The FBI reportedly used a bug in an older version of the free anonymity software Tor to insert malware on the computers of people who accessed a child-porn website it had seized. The malware gave agents the ability to see visitors’ real Internet addresses and track them down. Defense lawyers for Jay Michaud of Vancouver, Wash., argued they had the right to review the malware in order to pursue their argument that the government compromised the security of Michaud’s computer, leading to the illicit material ending up there unintentionally. U.S. District Court Judge Robert Bryan in Tacoma agreed. “The consequences are straightforward: the prosecution must now choose between complying with the Court’s discovery order and dismissing the case,” Michaud’s defense attorneys wrote in a brief filed last week.

Safety Shield bocciato da Parlamento UE e EDPS (mentre US pensa di espandere la sorveglianza)
by Alberto Cammozzo May 31, 2016

May 31, 2016

*EU-US privacy shield: Back to the drawing board for the final stretch!* Today, the European Parliament adopted its resolution about the proposed EU-US Privacy Shield, adding its voice to the opinion of the Working Party 29 from last April and preceding the vote of national representatives in the Article 31 Committee next month. Following the 2013 Snowden revelation, Viviane Reding, then Vice-President of the Commission, launched the reform of Safe Harbour to ensure that data flows across the Atlantic in full compliance with data privacy. Two years and a half later, substantial progress has been made. Not enough for Viviane Reding, now Member of the European Parliament, who still considers the draft decision by the Commission incomplete: "I welcome the numerous and wide-reaching improvements in terms of transparency, oversight and monitoring of the companies' practices. Nevertheless, I regret that few guarantees have been obtained concerning the activities of the US intelligence services. The problem is, has always been, and remains the use of national security as a blanket exemption. Together with our American counterparts, further work is needed to turn written assurances into legal obligations, and words into the reality of our citizens. The final decision by the Commission needs to be rock-solid, if we want to provide SMEs with the legal certainty they deserve. <http://www.eppgroup.eu/press-release/EP-resolution-on-EU-US-Privacy-Shield--> *Il Garante Ue boccia lo «scudo per la privacy»: “Bisogna assicurare la protezione dei dati”* Respinto il pacchetto di riforme sul trasferimento delle informazioni personali dei cittadini europei negli Stati Uniti «Apprezzo gli sforzi che sono stati fatti per sostituire il Safe Harbour, ma il Privacy Shield in questa forma non è abbastanza solido per superare la valutazione della Corte». Secco e deciso, il Garante europeo per la privacy, Giovanni Buttarelli, respinge al mittente il pacchetto di riforme per lo scambio di dati tra Stati Uniti e Unione europea. «Sono necessari miglioramenti significativi - afferma l’alto funzionario Italiano - se la Commissione intende adottare una decisione soddisfacente che rispetti l’essenza dei principi chiave della protezione dei dati, con particolare riguardo ai criteri di necessità, proporzionalità e ai meccanismi di ricorso». Inoltre, è «il caso di sviluppare una soluzione di più lungo termine nel dialogo transatlantico». <http://www.lastampa.it/2016/05/30/economia/il-garante-ue-boccia-lo-scudo-pe…> *Executive Summary of the Preliminary Opinion of the of the European Data Protection Supervisor on the agreement [...]* The EDPS has identified three essential improvements which he recommends for the text to ensure compliance with the Charter and Article 16 of the Treaty: - clarification that all the safeguards apply to all individuals, not only to EU nationals; - ensuring judicial redress provisions are effective within the meaning of the Charter; - clarification that transfers of sensitive data in bulk are not authorised. <http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?qid=1464689752317&uri=CELEX:…> Tuttavia dall'altra pare dell'Atlantico la musica è ben diversa: *Secret Text in Senate Bill Would Give FBI Warrantless Access to Email Records* _A provision snuck into_ the still-secret text of the Senate’s annual intelligence authorization would give the FBI the ability to demand individuals’ email data and possibly web-surfing history from their service providers without a warrant and in complete secrecy. If passed, the change would expand the reach of the FBI’s already highly controversial national security letters. The FBI is currently allowed to get certain types of information with NSLs — most commonly, information about the name, address, and call data associated with a phone number or details about a bank account. Since a 2008 Justice Department legal opinion, the FBI has not been allowed to use NSLs to demand “electronic communication transactional records,” such as email subject lines and other metadata, or URLs visited. The spy bill passed the Senate Intelligence Committee on Tuesday, with the provision in it. The lone no vote came from Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., who wrote in a statement that one of the bill’s provisions “would allow any FBI field office to demand email records without a court order, a major expansion of federal surveillance powers.” <https://theintercept.com/2016/05/26/secret-text-in-senate-bill-would-give-f…>

Berkman Center Webcast live oggi ore 18 - Exploring Corporate Structures and Governance Models for the Open-Source Community

Exploring Corporate Structures and Governance Models for the Open-Source Community https://cyber.law.harvard.edu/events/luncheons/2016/05/Ritvo_Hessekiel <http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/events/luncheon/2014/06/sigal> *featuring Dalia Topelson Ritvo and Kira Hessekiel* Today, 6.00 pm Webcast live: http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/interactive/webcast http://nexa.polito.it/berkman-webcast-live Organizations that develop open source software are often inherently fragmented and loosely-networked, which can make governance and decision-making a challenge. In addition, as the open source community grows and becomes more global, so too has the need to establish strong governance models and corporate structures that allow an organization to achieve its mission, and foster a sustainable community both creatively and financially. In order to do this, it is helpful for open source organizations to understand the corporate structures and governance models available to them so they may evaluate the pros and cons of different approaches to institutional management and financial structure. In this session, we plan to discuss the various corporate structures and governance models available to open source organizations, including a discussion on when it is appropriate for an open source organization to seek tax exempt status.

Brussels urges more caring for sharing economy
by Guido Noto La Diega May 30, 2016

May 30, 2016

http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/4c19a666-267f-11e6-8ba3-cdd781d02d89.html#axzz4AA… Brussels is to call on EU governments not to ban or limit services such as Uber and Airbnb, in a bid to head off a regulatory onslaught from national authorities on the “sharing economy” <http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/30d06228-20da-11e6-9d4d-c11776a5124d.html#ax…> in Europe. The European Commission will this week set out guidelines to harmonise the often wildly different treatment faced by businesses trying to shake up sectors ranging from accommodation to transport across the 28-country bloc. While businesses such as ride hailing company Uber have been welcomed by countries including the UK, their executives have been threatened with stiff fines or even jail <http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/3887ad88-1c29-11e6-b286-cddde55ca122.html#ax…> in places such as France. Coherent regulation on an EU-wide basis would provide a huge boost to these businesses, negating the need for companies to have fights with 28 different regulators. Bans on services should be a “measure of last resort” for governments, according to draft guidelines seen by the Financial Times to be published on Thursday. The move to help new entrants will ease some of the tension over technology regulation between Brussels and Washington, where Europe’s efforts to rein in the market power of the likes of Google and Apple <http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/ac95bc48-2358-11e6-9d4d-c11776a5124d.html#ax…>have caused friction. Last year, US President Barack Obama accused the EU <http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/41d968d6-b5d2-11e4-b58d-00144feab7de.html#ax…> of regulation that was “designed to carve out some of their commercial interests”. But while the bulk of the new guidelines will be welcomed by the predominantly US groups that dominate the so-called sharing economy sector, some will cause concern in Silicon Valley. The commission suggests that companies that do not allow their operators to set their own prices or that force them to take customers could be considered an “employment relationship”. The commission move comes after services such as Uber faced partial prohibition in countries across the EU, including Belgium, the Netherlands, France and Germany.Any such definition would be resisted by Uber, which has vociferously argued that its drivers are not employees, meaning that the company does not have to do things such as contribute to social insurance schemes on their behalf. Brussels also criticised moves such as Berlin’s attempt to crack down on Airbnb hosts by introducing fines of up to €100,000 for people who rent out their entire apartments on the home-letting website. The commission said such rules were “generally difficult to justify”. Instead, countries should consider measures such as introducing limits on the number of days someone can rent out an apartment on websites such as Airbnb. The commission also came out in defence of rating systems used by the likes of Uber, arguing that being able to rate a driver can lead to safer services. Critics of this system have argued that relying on reviews to judge drivers was potentially unsafe. The guidelines are intended to encourage EU countries to look again at their regulation of sharing-economy businesses. Companies such as Uber have already complained to Brussels — which has the task of ensuring EU treaties are enforced — about their treatment in various countries. Results of these investigations are expected in a few months. In general, the commission has given sharing economy businesses a more sympathetic hearing. Elzbieta Bienkowska, the commissioner for industry and the internal market, last year compared critics of Uber with those who had railed against the introduction of printing presses in medieval times <http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/65fb6b8c-8314-11e5-8095-ed1a37d1e096.html#ax…> . Both Paris and Berlin have been keen on keeping a far stricter eye on new entrants, arguing that national regulations should not be diluted for their sake. -- *Guido* Dr. Guido Noto La Diega Buckinghamshire New University <https://it.linkedin.com/pub/guido-noto-la-diega-ph-d/6/614/669> - Ital-IoT <http://italiot.altervista.org/about-us/> - University of Palermo <http://www.unipa.it/persone/docenti/n/guido.notoladiega> Department of Law Queen Alexandra Road High Wycombe Buckinghamshire HP11 2JZ n <g.notoladiega(a)qmul.ac.uk>oto.la.diega(a)gmail.com +44(0)2078823386 @guidonld This e-mail and any attachment hereto are strictly confidential and are exclusively intended for the person above identified.

Guardian: "Why teenagers are so resistant to e-readers"
by J.C. DE MARTIN May 30, 2016

May 30, 2016

*Why teenagers are so resistant to e-readers* /In many areas of life teenagers are moving online – so why do so many surveys show they still prefer print books over e-readers? Sometimes, argues teen site member confessionsofabooklover, innovation just can’t beat tradition/ confessionsofabooklover Guardian children's books site teen writer Monday 30 May 2016 08.49 BST There seems to be an idea spouted by many working in the media at the moment, that young people are giving up on traditional media. The BBC took BBC Three off our TV screens recently as it moves online to further target that lucrative 16-24 demographic. The BBC Trust claimed that there was “clear public value in moving BBC Three online, as independent evidence shows younger audiences are watching more online and watching less linear TV”. As made evident by their Twitter feed, many in the country have been left slightly confused by this move. Maybe they’re right to do this, or maybe it’s a mistake. Only time will tell. But the idea is part of a broader sense that young people live the vast majority of their lives on the internet. We don’t care about the BBC, we care about Netflix. Stuff ITV, let’s talk about YouTube. And again, maybe they’re right. I don’t have Netflix, but while I was initially a little upset about BBC Three moving online I quickly realised that I don’t often consume content on a “linear basis” from the BBC: I watch/listen/read it on-demand. The last time I remember sitting down and watching something in the slot it was actually scheduled was back in 2012, when the Olympics were in London. Anything else and it’s on demand.
