Informacijska hladna vojna - 0 views

  • ZDA so trdile, da hočejo internet obraniti pred birokratskim nadzorom OZN, cenzuro in nedemokratičnimi režimi. Nasprotniki so zahtevali več možnosti soodločanja pri upravljanju interneta, opozarjali na ameriško internetno prevlado in se sklicevali na načela nacionalne suverenosti.
  • Za varuhe internetne svobode so se poleg ZDA razglasile še EU, Velika Britanija, Kanada, Indija in nekatere južnoameriške glasovalke, na nasprotni strani so ostale Rusija, Kitajska ter številne arabske in afriške države.
  • Najpomembnejša lastnost interneta je njegova mrežna zasnova, ki nima središčne točke in ne upošteva delitve sveta na nacionalne države.

  • Ameriške delegacije niso sestavljali samo predstavniki zunanjega ministrstva, ki zastopajo uradne zaveze ZDA, da si bodo povsod po svetu prizadevale za »odprt in svoboden« internet, brez katerega si težko predstavljamo sodobne demokratične družbe. Pridružili so se jim tudi predstavniki internetnih podjetij (Googla, Facebooka …), ki so življenjsko odvisni od sedanjega odprtega interneta in po različnih ocenah v ameriško gospodarstvo letno prispevajo tudi do dvesto milijard dolarjev.
  • Letošnji poskusi netransparentnega sprejemanja protipiratske zakonodaje (Acta, Sopa, Pipa) in vse močnejši posegi v državljanske pravice niso omejeni samo na nedemokratične države »tretjega sveta«, ampak so vse pogostejši tudi na zahodu (nadzor uporabnikov, profiliranje, blokada povezav in konkurenčnih storitev …).

The European Union Closes in on Data Privacy Legislation - SPIEGEL ONLINE - 0 views

  • The European Union is seeking to increase the private sphere of its citizens by strengthening data protection laws for the web. Large Internet firms and lobbyists are fighting the plans.
  • Gmail and Facebook may be forced to abandon their ad-supported models and start charging their customers in Europe or stop providing them with these popular services altogether.
  • Take Facebook, for example, which has its European headquarters in Ireland. The Irish government's data protection commissioner would then be responsible for the concerns of all EU citizens relating to the company's privacy policies.

  • Under exi
  • sting privacy regulations, data protection supervision in EU countries must be conducted entirely independently of public authorities, and data protection controllers are not under the supervision of the European Commission. But the EU wants to weaken this policy and install itself as the data protection agencies' supervisory authority.

  • The outrage over Instagram's announcement that it is changing its terms and conditions has turned the spotlight on the relationship between websites and users who upload content, whether it is photos, video, blogs or even games.
  • A survey of UK consumers suggested just 7% read online terms and conditions before they signed up for products and services, and other research has put it even lower.
  • Twitter: You retain your rights to any content you post on Twitter, but you grant the website a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence (with the right to sublicense) "to use, copy, reproduce, process, adapt, modify, publish, transmit, display and distribute" your content.

  • However, when you use Facebook you give it the right to use information "in connection with the services and features we provide to you and other users like your friends, our partners, the advertisers that purchase ads on the site, and the developers that build the games, applications, and websites you use".
