Privacy Shield, the transatlantic data transfer agreement now used by
more than 2,000 companies, comes up for its first annual review in
September. This week, data protection authorities are already emitting
warning growls.

The 2016 agreement is the replacement for the weak and muddled EU/US
Safe Harbour principles that were declared inadequate by the European
Court of Justice (ECJ) in October 2015.

[...]

On Tuesday, the EU?s Article 29 Working Party (WP 29) ? Europe?s data
protection working group made up of national data protection supervisors
and others ? issued a statement outlining a letter it has sent to the
commission.

The WP 29 has an invited role in the review process and, as its letter
makes clear, it intends to spend several days in the US soon on a
fact-finding mission, talking to companies, US government
representatives and civil society groups.

Often shrugged off in the past for having more bark than bite, the WP 29
is now a far more influential group in the wake of those past ECJ
rulings in which the justices essentially confirmed concerns the working
group had stated for years. Now a weightier ethical watchdog, its
contributory role in assessing Privacy Shield will make it a bellwether
for indicating any serious problems.

Spoiler alert: serious problems are expected. Not least as the group
pointedly states that it reserves the right to issue its own independent
report, in effect if it is not happy with the commission?s report or
decisions.

The WP 29 states several critical (and long-standing) areas of alarm in
its letter to the commission, some already voiced in an opinion on the
newly-minted Privacy Shield way back in pre-Trump era April 2016
(http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/article-29/press-material/press-release/art29_press_material/2016/press_release_shield_en.pdf).
Post-Trump, some ill winds are blowing.

In the Tuesday statement, the group flags an intention to examine both
commercial and law enforcement/security access to, and management of, EU
data.

By AZAM AHMED and NICOLE PERLROTH

MEXICO CITY ? Mexico?s most prominent human rights lawyers, journalists

Ne ho letti due, e sono davvero affascinanti e ben fatti. Si trovano qui: http://comprop.oii.ox.ac.uk/2017/06/19/computational-propaganda-worldwide-executive-summary/. 
Per chi non volesse leggersi tutto il malloppo, presto in arrivo un mio riassunto.
Buona serataf.
