Open Letter to Google From 80 Internet Scholars: Release RTBF Compliance Data — Medium

  • “What We Seek

    • Aggregate data about how Google is responding to the >250,000 requests to delist links thought to contravene data protection from name search results. We should know if the anecdotal evidence of Google’s process is representative: What sort of information typically gets delisted (e.g., personal health) and what sort typically does not (e.g., about a public figure), in what proportions and in what countries?”

POW: The Internet’s Original Sin – The Atlantic

    • Pick Of the Week:
      “I have come to believe that advertising is the original sin of the web. The fallen state of our Internet is a direct, if unintentional, consequence of choosing advertising as the default model to support online content and services. Through successive rounds of innovation and investor storytime, we’ve trained Internet users to expect that everything they say and do online will be aggregated into profiles (which they cannot review, challenge, or change) that shape both what ads and what content they see.” (by )

German court rules against Facebook’s “Friend Finder” – Lexology

Il Parlamento Europeo vota in favore della proposta della Commissione per un nuovo Regolamento Privacy

Il Parlamento dell’Unione Europea, prima di salutarci, approva (con poche modifiche) la proposta della Commissione per un nuovo Regolamento sulla protezione dei dati personali.

Ecco un assaggio dell’art. 1 del Regolamento, quello in cui si fissano gli obiettivi… :

  • 1. This Regulation lays down rules relating to the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and rules relating to the free movement of personal data.
  • (…)
  • 3. The free movement of personal data within the Union shall neither be restricted nor prohibited for reasons connected with the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data.

Chiaro no?

Ora la parola passa al Consiglio dell’UE, non se ne parla prima dell’estate.
