“After months of pursuing the case, Schneiderman and his team finally got access to documents that allowed them to come to the conclusion that the perpetrators stole as many as 2 million American identities. « The first three words in our Constitution are, ‘We the People.’ The federal rulemaking process is an essential part of our democracy and allows Americans the opportunity to express their opinions on how government agencies decide important regulatory issues. As such, we are concerned about the aforementioned fraudulent activity. We need to prevent the deliberate misuse of Americans’ personal information and ensure that the FCC is working to protect against current and future vulnerabilities in its system. »”

“Le renforcement des règles relatives à la protection des données à compter du 25 mai 2018 se traduira par un renforcement du contrôle par les citoyens de leurs données ainsi que par l’accroissement des avantages que pourront tirer les entreprises de conditions de concurrence équitables. Un seul ensemble de règles pour toutes les entreprises exerçant des activités dans l’UE, indépendamment du lieu où elles sont établies”.

“Dans la Silicon Valley comme ailleurs, les stupidités, les escroqueries ou les erreurs stratégiques sont les contreparties du manque de discernement. On aurait tort de croire qu’elles sont dues à l’immaturité de flamboyants entrepreneurs. Les conseils d’administration des start-up californiennes sont largement composés d’experts en technologies de pointe et la moyenne d’âge dépasse 50 ans – 55 ans pour Facebook et même 75 ans chez Theranos !Mais la gouvernance de ces entreprises reste floue du fait que les dirigeants-fondateurs cumulent les fonctions de président et de directeur général et donc les pouvoirs de direction et de contrôle. De plus, les administrateurs sont souvent eux-mêmes des entrepreneurs de la Silicon Valley ou des fonds d’investissement qui les financent. Ce petit univers s’enthousiasme collectivement et s’autocélèbre collégialement. Il n’est pas étonnant que, dans une atmosphère aussi confinée où les montants des financements circulent sans entraves pour doper n’importe quel projet, on aboutisse parfois à des histoires hallucinantes”.

«We live in an era fundamentally skeptical about self-government. Our age is obsessed with leaving things alone. Let the Internet develop as the coders would develop it, the common view has it. Keep government out.This is an understandable view, given the character of our government’s regulation. Given its flaws, it no doubt seems best simply to keep government away. But this is an indulgence that is dangerous at any time. It is particularly dangerous now» – Lawrence Lessig.

«Epstein’s group asked 661 Americans to pick one of two candidates in an Australian election. Since it was presumed they did not know much about Antipodean politics, the participants were instructed to research them with a Google-type search engine that offered the usual autocomplete suggestions when words were typed in. However, the researchers also varied the search suggestions shown beneath a candidate’s name, including a range of positive and negative words. The results were stark. When participants were later questioned about their voting preferences, changing the ratio of positive to negative suggestions in the autocomplete was shown to be capable of shifting the preferences of undecided voters by nearly 80 per cent — even though participants seemed free to search for any material they wanted».
«As in other countries, the citizens of Rohy will have to work to earn money. This currency will be in the form of cryptocurrency, called RohyCoin. Each payment will be made via the smartphone of the consumer. The trades offered at Rohy are varied. Some are essential to the good life of the country, for example: the police, the doctors, the restorers, the salesmen, or even the water managers.

«Aleksandr Kogan, the Cambridge University academic who orchestrated the harvesting of Facebook data, had previously unreported ties to a Russian university, including a teaching position and grants for research into the social media network, the Observer has discovered.

«The European Commission is drafting a new regulation specifically targeting online platforms such as e-commerce sites, app stores and search engines that will require the companies to be more transparent about how they rank search results and why they delist some services. The proposal seeks to address potentially harmful trading practices by online platforms and a lack of effective redress mechanisms for smaller businesses that use them to reach consumers».
