Energy + Commerece

Energy + CommerceOn Tuesday June 14 2015, the U.S. House of Representatives Energy & Commerce Committee’s Subcommittee on Communications and Technology held a hearing FCC Overreach: Examining the Proposed Privacy Rules. The hearing follows up on a letter sent to FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler regarding the agency’s proposed privacy and data breach notification requirements for broadband ISPs. The FTC had its jurisdiction removed when the FCC reclassified broadband as a common carrier. The letter suggests the FCC’s making a separate set of rules governing only ISPs, and not other parts of the Internet ecosystem, would “create confusion and harm competition”. Witnessess were Doug Brake, Telecommunications Policy Analyst, Information Technology and Innovation Foundation; Jon Leibowitz Co-Chair, 21st Century Privacy Coalition (and former FTC Chair); and Paul Ohm, Professor, Center on Privacy and Technology, Georgetown University Law Center.

On February 17 2016, Public Knowledge and the Open Technology Institute at New America hosted a discussion panel Preserving Broadband Network Privacy in Washington DC. For decades, consumers have been protected by privacy rules at the FCC that protected them from the one company with access to all of their communications: their phone company. When the FCC reclassified broadband as a Title II common carrier service, it gave forbearance to these phone network privacy rules when it came to broadband. And yet, FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler has expressed interest in beginning work on creating appropriate privacy rules for broadband, the essential communications network of this century. Are such rules needed and what would the look like? What is special about broadband networks that the FCC needs to take action to ensure privacy over them? How does network privacy fit into the broader landscape of privacy policy? Panelists: Harold Feld, Public Knowledge; Sarah Morris, Open Technology Institute at New America; Erik Stallman, Center for Democracy & Technology; Mary Sisak, Alarm Industry Communications Committee. Moderator: Chris Lewis, Public Knowledge. Video is below.

In the talk she lays out a near term future where communications and software platforms will deliver us smart cities, smart homes, and ubiquitous clean low cost shared transport. On the one hand we have an environmental imperative to get co2 emissions under control, use assets efficiently, deliver thriving sustainable cities. On the other hand, at what cost to privacy?

TA3M

TA3MOn Monday June 15 2015 the OpenITP Techno-Activism Third Monday presented Libraries, Digital Privacy, & Data Literacy – a conversation about the impact of surveillance and data collection on citizens, specifically on disadvantaged communities. Learn more about the privacy and data issues that librarians face in their work and new efforts to empower them to address these issues. Libraries are among the most trusted institutions in their communities, making librarians uniquely positioned to prepare patrons for the privacy challenges brought about by the pervasiveness of data sharing, profiling, DRM, third-party platforms, and surveillance technologies. Individuals with the greatest digital literacy needs are also the most vulnerable to abuses of personal data, creating an even more urgent need for libraries to address these issues. Librarians are prepared to meet this need. Join us for an informal conversation highlighting new efforts afoot to train librarians in digital privacy and data literacy. We are bringing together librarians, policy advocates, technologists, and the communities they all serve to further bridge not just the digital divide but the privacy digital divide. Panel: Melissa Morrone, public librarian, Brooklyn; Seeta Peña Gangadharan, senior research fellow,Open Technology Institute; Bonnie Tijerina, Data & Society Fellow; Alycia Sellie, Associate Librarian for Collections, Graduate Center Library. Moderator: Audrey Evans, Head of Research, Dollar a Day, Inc. Video is below.

Fordham Privacy

Fordham Privacy On Wednesday May 13 2015 Fordham Law Center on Law and Information Policy (CLIP) presents its Ninth Law and Information Society Symposium – Solving Privacy Around the World. Trends in the global processing of data, developments in new technologies, privacy enforcement actions and government surveillance put international privacy at the center of the global law and policy agenda. Government regulators, policymakers, legal experts, and industry players need to find solutions to cross-border conflicts and to the issues presented by innovative technologies. This conference seeks to create a robust, but informal dialog that will explore possible solutions to current questions arising from the international legal framework, infrastructure architecture and commercial practices. The conference will use a unique format. Each panel will start with a short presentation on the technological and business context to set the stage. The panel will be an informal, moderated roundtable discussion with a select group of experts followed by a question and answer session from the audience. The conference will webcast live via the Internet Society Livestream Channel.

VIDEO: The Great Firewall Inverts – @n8fr8 @berkmancenter #privacy #security

by
Berkman Center

Berkman CenterOn January 13, 2014 the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University presented a talk – The Great Firewall Inverts – saying:

The world is witnessing a massive expansion of Chinese telecommunications reach and influence, powered entirely by users choosing to participate in it. In Usage of the mobile messaging app WeChat (微信 Weixin), for example, has skyrocketed not only inside China, but outside, as well. Due to these systems being built upon proprietary protocols and software, their inner workings are largely opaque and mostly insecure. (WeChat has full permission to activate microphones and cameras, track GPS, access user contacts and photos, and copy all of this data at any time to their servers.)

In this talk, Nathan Freitas — Berkman Fellow, director of technology strategy and training at the Tibet Action Institute. and leader of the Guardian Project — questions the risks to privacy and security foreign users engage in when adopting apps from Chinese companies. Do the Chinese companies behind these services have any market incentive or legal obligation to protect the privacy of their non-Chinese global userbase? Do they willingly or automatically turn over all data to the Ministry of Public Security or State Internet Information Office? Will we soon see foreign users targeted or prosecuted due to “private” data shared on WeChat? And is there any fundamental difference in the impact on privacy freedom for an American citizen using WeChat versus a Chinese citizen using WhatsApp or Google?
