  • If you want people to buy media, you have to offer it for sale. If it's not for sale, they won't buy it, but many of them will still want to watch or hear or play it, and will turn to the darknet to get – for free – the media that no one will sell to them.
  • Today it's hard to find any knowledgeable person who thinks that making more money by delaying a release to an optimal date is possible, except to the extent that the knowledgeable person is selling something.

  • Child safety measures to protect against internet threats
  • In a poll of over 19,000 parents and children conducted by security firm Norton, 7% of UK parents said they had absolutely no idea what their kids were up to on their computers and phones.
  • Even more worryingly, 30% (39% worldwide) said they had suffered a "serious" negative experience. This included, among other things, invitations to meet online "friends" in real life and exposure to indecent pictures of someone they did not know.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • The ever-growing adoption of social networks, instant messages and mobile communication leaves the door open to more subtle attacks - both of a technological and psychological nature.
  • "Parents must realise that technology alone can't keep children safe online," Deborah Preston, the company's internet security advocate.
  • "To be truly safe it requires not only technology, but also a combination of open and ongoing dialogue and education between parents and children."
  • On social networks, account hijacking - where a child's account is accessed for a practical joke or more sinister purposes - can cause considerable distress.
  • A poll by Virgin Media suggests that 38% of parents whose children have suffered from cyberbullying feel unable to protect them due to a lack of knowledge and understanding of how the online world works.
  • This, Mr Abdul argued, could only be solved through greater education and a more honest understanding from parents about how real and damaging the effects of online bullying could be.
  • Mr Abdul added, the correct software, education and parental supervision means children can also be protected both at home and away.

  • Google Glass is the most hotly anticipated new arrival in "wearable computing" – which experts predict will become pervasive.
  • The next stage is computers that fit on to your body, and Google's idea is that you need only speak to operate it.
  • (To activate Glass you need to tilt your head, or touch the side, and then say, "OK Glass, record a video" or "OK Glass take a picture".)

  • Google has become the company which knows where you are and what you're looking for. Now it's going to be able to compute what it is you're looking at."
  • For Google, "privacy" means "what you've agreed to", and that is slightly different from the privacy we've become used to over time. So how comfortable – or uneasy – should we feel about the possibility that what we're doing in a public or semi-public place (or even somewhere private) might get slurped up and assimilated by Google?
  • The first, and most obvious, is the question of privacy. The second is: how will we behave in groups when the distraction of the internet is only an eye movement away?
  • we already live in a world where the boundaries of what's private and what's public are melting.
  • Google doesn't want to discuss these issues. "We are not making any comment," says a company spokesperson. But other sources suggest that Google's chiefs know that this is a live issue, and they're watching it develop.

  • Every time you read a newspaper on your computer or buy an ebook, you can leave an electronic trail behind you. That trail is potentially lucrative for business, and is a new source of surveillance for government and law enforcement.
  • Retailers and search engines, most notably Amazon and Google, can now gather an astonishingly detailed portrait of our book-reading habits: what we buy, what we browse, the amount of time we spend on a page and even the annotations we make in an ebook.
  • Amazon also reserves the right to disclose information when it "believes release is appropriate to comply with the law". A stronger protection for our privacy should require a warrant before personal data is released.

  • Awareness of the problem is growing, from Google's catastrophic launch of its social network Buzz in 2010, which shared users' contacts without their permission, to the revelation last year that Facebook was still tracking users' browsing information after they had logged out.

Online privacy: Difference Engine: Nobbling the internet | The Economist - 0 views

www.economist.com/...online-privacy privacy networking internet social social networking
shared by Anja Pirc on 03 Mar 13 - No Cached
  • TWO measures affecting the privacy internet users can expect in years ahead are currently under discussion on opposite sides of the globe. The first hails from a Senate committee’s determination to make America’s online privacy laws even more robust. The second concerns efforts by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), an intergovernmental body under the auspices of the United Nations, to rewrite its treaty for regulating telecommunications around the world, which dates from 1988, so as to bring the internet into its fief.
  • The congressional measure, approved overwhelmingly by the Senate Judiciary Committee on November 29th, would require criminal investigators to obtain a search warrant from a judge before being able to coerce internet service providers (ISPs) to hand over a person’s e-mail. The measure would also extend this protection to the rest of a person’s online content, including videos, photographs and documents stored in the "cloud"—ie, on servers operated by ISPs, social-network sites and other online provider
  • a warrant is needed only for unread e-mail less than six months old. If it has already been opened, or is more than six months old, all that law-enforcement officials need is a subpoena. In America, a subpoena does not need court approval and can be issued by a prosecutor. Similarly, a subpoena is sufficient to force ISPs to hand over their routing data, which can then be used to identify a sender’s various e-mails and to whom they were sent. That is how the FBI stumbled on a sex scandal involving David Petraeus, the now-ex director of the CIA, and his biographer.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • No-one imagined that ISPs would one day offer gigabytes of online storage free—as Google, Yahoo!, Hotmail and other e-mail providers do today. The assumption back then was that if someone had not bothered to download and delete online messages within six months, such messages could reasonably be considered to be abandoned—and therefore not in need of strict protection.
  • wholesale access to the internet, powerful mobile phones and ubiquitous social networking have dramatically increased the amount of private data kept online. In the process, traditional thinking about online security has been rendered obsolete. For instance, more and more people nowadays keep their e-mail messages on third-party servers elsewhere, rather than on their own hard-drives or mobile phones. Many put their personal details, contacts, photographs, locations, likes, dislikes and inner thoughts on Google, Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Dropbox and a host of other destinations. Bringing online privacy requirements into an age of cloud computing is only fit and proper, and long overdue.
  • the international telecoms treaty that emerged focused on how telephone traffic flows across borders, the rules governing the quality of service and the means operators could adopt to bill one another for facilitating international calls. As such, the regulations applied strictly to telecoms providers, the majority of which were state owned.
  • he goal of certain factions is to grant governments the authority to charge content providers like Amazon, Google, Facebook and Twitter for allowing their data to flow over national borders. If enacted, such proposals would most certainly deter investment in network infrastructure, raise costs for consumers, and hinder online access for precisely those people the ITU claims it wants to help.
  • a proposal sponsored by the United States and Canada to restrict the debate in Dubai strictly t
  • o conventional telecoms has met with a modicum of success, despite stiff opposition from Russia plus some African and Middle-Eastern countries. Behind closed doors, the conference has agreed not to alter the ITU’s current definition of “telecommunications” and to leave the introductory text concerning the existing treaty’s scope intact.
  • The sticking point has been what kind of organisations the treaty should apply to. Here, one word can make a huge difference. In ITU jargon, the current treaty relates only to “recognised operating agencies”—in other words, conventional telecoms operators. The ITU wants to change that to simply “operating agencies”. Were that to happen, not only would Google, Facebook and other website operators fall under the ITU’s jurisdiction, but so too would all government and business networks. It seems the stakes really are as high as the ITU’s critics have long maintained

  • Internet pomembnejši od mehanika
  • Da, kupci postajajo vedno bolj »pismeni« tudi na tem področju, zato tudi zanje velja: če nimaš urejenih, enostavnih, preglednih in tako ali drugačne informativnih in privlačnih internetnih strani, je skorajda tako, kot da te ni.
  • Slovenci smo »internetni« narod, ki spada v evropsko povprečje, čeravno so trendi v zadnjem času vse manj spodbudni. Na Fakulteti za družbene vede so v okviru raziskave RIS (Raba interneta v Sloveniji) zaznali, da je bila Slovenija v začetnem obdobju interneta, sredi devetdesetih let, na tem področju pravzaprav še med vodilnimi državami v Evropi, v preteklem desetletju je skorajda v vseh pogledih zdrknila v povprečje, v tem desetletju pa drsi že v podpovprečje, in je nad povprečjem Evropske unije le še v redkih indikatorjih (predvsem v bolj splošnih vidikih informacijske pismenosti in infrastrukture).

  • Tako je po njihovem mnenju internet pri avtomobilih postal najpomembnejši medij v informativno-nakupnem procesu in je že takrat prehitel vse druge medije
  • Če nam danes torej svet leži na dlani, je povsem logično, da brez njega ne morejo živeti in preživeti niti avtomobilske tovarne ter prodajalci in zastopniki, ki se vsak dan borijo za naklonjenost kupcev.
  • 34 odstotkov voznikov, ki uporabljajo internet, želi, da jih prodajalec v procesu nakupa usmerja na informacije prek interneta, 33 odstotkov pa je načeloma že pripravljenih tudi na administrativni del nakupa prek interneta. 2,4 milijarde ljudi je sredi leta 2012 v svetovnem merilu uporabljalo internet, še konec leta 2000 pa jih je bilo po podatkih Internet World Stats le 361 milijonov. 518 milijonov je uporabnikov interneta v Evropi od skupno 821 milijonov prebivalcev, kar pomeni, da ga uporablja 63 odstotkov prebivalstva.

www.delo.si/...iral-internetno-vohljanje.html ITU nadzorovanje internetni promet internetne vsebine dpi pregledovanje
shared by Katja Saje on 06 Mar 13 - No Cached
  • Mednarodna zveza za telekomunikacije (ITU) potrdila standard za podrobno pregledovanje internetnega prometa (deep packet inspection, dpi).
  • Internetni promet je sestavljen iz t. i. paketov. V vsakem je del vsebine (spletne strani, datoteke ali česa drugega), paket pa je opremljen še s kopico drugih podatkov, od glave (header) do opisa protokolov, storitev in še marsičesa. Glava je nekakšna kuverta, v njej so zapisani glavni podatki, da lahko brskalnik ali drug program iz več paketkov, ki lahko potujejo povsem neodvisno drug od drugega, sestavi pravo vsebino.
  • Z dpi pa vidijo tako vrsto internetnega prometa kot njegovo vsebino. Zakaj je to pomembno? Operaterji lahko tako »upravljajo« promet. Kar v praksi pomeni, da upočasnjujejo ali celo blokirajo posamezne vrste prometa, denimo torrente ali telefonijo IP (skype). Lahko pa bi tudi ponujali naročnino na hitrejši youtube, morda posebej prodajali dostop do facebooka.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • pojasnilo ITU, zakaj so sprejeli standard, gre v tej smeri. Češ, operaterji so doslej namenjali »preveliko« pasovno širino posameznim uporabnikom ali storitvam. Zdaj, ko vsebine postajajo vse bolj potratne glede količine podatkov, pa dpi po besedah ITU omogoča »natančno in vzdržno upravljanje prometa, ki raste eksponentno«.
  • Telekom, T-2 in Simobil zanikali uporabo dpi, medtem ko Amis ni odgovoril. Na Simobilu so dejali, da o tem »trenutno ne razmišljajo«, na T-2 pa, da »do zdaj niso delali tovrstnih pregledov«.
