Adoption of three texts on personal data: teach yourself how to be safe! | La Quadrature du Net

Adoption of three texts on personal data: teach yourself how to be safe! | La Quadrature du Net | Peer2Politics | Scoop.it

Paris, 14 April 2016 — Today, the European Parliament adopted three texts on personal data: the regulation framework for personal data processing by private companies, the Directive on judicial and police processing of personal data, and the PNR (Passenger Name Record) that aims at the creation of national records gathering large amounts of data of persons travelling from or to the European Union, including internal flights. These texts feature numerous loopholes that threaten the right to privacy. Given the inability of the institutions to come up with regulations that actually protect Internet users, it is up to each and every one of us to learn how to protect themselves, their personal data and their privacy on the Internet.

Ubiquitous Commons: The Struggle to Control Our Data | David Bollier | Peer2Politics | Scoop.it

Over the past twenty years, there has been such a proliferation of computers, smartphones, digital devices, surveillance cameras, maps, mobile applications, sensors and much else – all of it networked through the Internet, wireless and telephone connections – that an unimaginably vast new body of personal data is being generated about us, individually and collectively.

Security, Privacy & The Democratization Of Data - InformationWeek | Peer2Politics | Scoop.it

Fifty-one years ago President Kennedy shocked the world when he revealed reconnaissance photos of Soviet missile launch sites in Cuba. Today, I can browse satellite images of the same locations from the comfort of my sofa on Google Earth. This once top secret capability has become democratized and available to all. At some point, today's top secret technology will also be accessible from your sofa.

Cautiously disagreeing with Yochai Benkler on NSA data collection

Experience tells me you disagree with legal scholar Yochai Benkler cautiously and with great risk knowing that you, not he, will probably end up being wrong. I once wrote an MA thesis on intellectual property rights and democratic theory, and of everyone I read and wrote about, Benkler’s analysis of how the intellectual properties of the internet were providing a space to turn “consumers” into “users” proved most correct, much more correct than, say, Lawrence Lessig’s comparatively pessimistic view of intellectual property. At the time, I sided with Lessig. Benkler proved more right.
