Post Safe Harbor: CNIL vs FB
by Alberto Cammozzo Feb. 9, 2016

Feb. 9, 2016

Pressione verso la Commissione? Ballon d'essai di azione delle DP nazionali dopo SH? <http://www.cnil.fr/english/news-and-events/news/article/the-french-data-pro…> The French data protection authority publicly issues formal notice to FACEBOOK to comply with the French Data Protection Act within three months 08 February 2016 The Chair of the Commission Nationale de l’Informatique et des Libertés (CNIL) issued formal notice to FACEBOOK to fairly collect data concerning the browsing activity of Internet users who do not have a FACEBOOK account. FACEBOOK must also provide account holders with the means to object to the compiling of their data for advertising purposes. Following FACEBOOK statement regarding the amendment of its privacy policy, a working group, composed of the five data protection authorities that decided to investigate the matter (France, Belgium, The Netherlands, Spain and Hamburg), was set up in March 2015 among the Article 29 Working Party. In this context, the CNIL performed on site and online inspections, as well as a documentary audit, in order to verify that FACEBOOK was acting in compliance with the French Data Protection Act. This has revealed several failures: [...] FACEBOOK transfers personal data to the United States on the basis of Safe Harbor, although the Court of Justice of the European Union declared invalid such transfers in its ruling of October 6, 2015. [...] This notice is not a sanction and the procedure will be publicly closed if the companies comply with the French data protection Act within the time limit. On the contrary, if FACEBOOK Inc. and FACEBOOK Ireland Limited have not complied with the formal notice within the time limit, the Chair shall appoint a “rapporteur” who might refer the matter to the CNIL’s Select Committee with a view to deciding a sanction. The investigations conducted by the Belgian, German (Land of Hamburg), Spanish and Dutch data protection authorities are ongoing at the national level and within an international administrative cooperation framework.

Una class action storica per il riconoscimento del digital labor
by Antonio Casilli Feb. 9, 2016

Feb. 9, 2016

Una class action storica è stata intentata negli Stati Uniti contro il "lavoro dissimulato" rappresentato dai reCAPTCHA di Google (che come utilizzate per l'apprendimento degli algoritmi di riconoscimento di testi e immagini di Google Books et Street View). Per quanto non autorizzata da un giudice federale, questa class action rappresenta un importantissimo passo in avanti nella presa di coscienza delle forme attuali del digital labor, lavoro implicito degli utilizzatori di piattaforme digitali. Le motivazioni del giudice federale sono essenzialmente due: il ricorso era mal fatto; les Terms of service di Google autorizzano la piattaforma a richiedere questo tipo di contribuzione ai suoi utilizzatori. Il ricorso arriva dopo che simili vertenze erano state proposte da utilizzatori di Yelp e Huffinghton Post per il riconoscimento, rispettivamente, dei commenti e dei post come attività lavorative. Analoghe azioni legali avevano riguardato gli utilizzatori di AOL nel 1999, che avevano ottenuto la creazione dello statuto di community manager (e una compensazione di 15 milioni di dollari). Ecco il testo della class action Rojas-Lozano v. Google : http://digitalcommons.law.scu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1904&context=… http://digitalcommons.law.scu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1904&context=… "In essence, Google operates a highly profitable transcription business built upon free labor, which it deceptively and unfairly obtains from unwitting website users, unjustly enriching itself at the expense of website users responding to reCAPTCHA prompts." Ecco un resoconto (parziale) di Arstechnica "Google stole a small amount of time and attention from a large number of people." http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2016/02/judge-tosses-proposed-class-acti… -- Antonio A.

Ed insegnare a usare i pdf?
by Diego Giorio Feb. 8, 2016

Feb. 8, 2016

http://servizidemografici.interno.it/sites/default/files/news-files/Circola… Vi sembra normale che il Ministero dell'Interno non sia in grado di pubblicare una circolare in un formato decente? Se vogliamo fare l'agenda digitale, magari non generando il pdf direttamente dal testo, che forse è troppo difficile, magari non la firma digitale, che è troppo sofisticata, ma almeno uno scanner che tenga i fogli dritti! Saluti a tutti Diego

83° Mercoledì di Nexa - 10 febbraio 2016

The 2000 E-Commerce Directive chose not to establish a safe harbour for links, or more generally for information location tools. This lack of protection prompted the discussion of whether providers of links could nonetheless be shielded from liability under other provisions of the Directive. In any event, the current safe harbour scheme might prove elusive to deal with linking, particularly in the fields of copyright and data protection, where linking may be considered an illicit activity in itself if it lacks authorization. In the field of data protection, the CJEU has considered search engines controllers of, and thus fully responsible for, the processing of personal data contained in the webpages they link to. In the field of copyright, the CJEU holds that providing a link amounts to a ‘communication’ of the linked content. In the cases decided so far, the court found that such a communication was not made to a ‘new public’ and thus it did not need authorization. Nonetheless, other cases are pending before the court, and it may end up holding that linking to unauthorized content constitutes a communication to a new public, and therefore a direct infringement. This presentation will examine the status of the linking activities in those fields, particularly in view of the new General Data Protection Regulation and of the ongoing reform of EU copyright law. It will also consider the interplay of those legal frameworks and case law with the intermediary liability provisions in the E-Commerce Directive.
