Fwd: [opennetcoalition] Data Retention: EU Court of Justice Denounces Mandatory Data Retention
by Michel Bauwens 08 Apr '14

08 Apr '14

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: La Quadrature du Net <contact(a)laquadrature.net> Date: Tue, Apr 8, 2014 at 10:52 AM Subject: [opennetcoalition] Data Retention: EU Court of Justice Denounces Mandatory Data Retention To: opennetcoalition(a)laquadrature.net Themes: COURT OF JUSTICE OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, DATA RETENTION, PRIVACY, SURVEILLANCE La Quadrature du Net - For immediate release Permanent link: https://www.laquadrature.net/en/data-retention-eu-court-of-justice-denounce… Data Retention: EU Court of Justice Denounces Mandatory Data Retention *** Paris, 8 April 2014 -- In a judgement [1] issued this morning, the Court of Justice of the European Union opposed itself to the bulk data retention of our online communications by ruling the 2006 European Data Retention Directive [2] invalid. In the midst of the ongoing debate on mass surveillance, this legal decision represents an important step towards regaining our fundamental right to respect for private life and to the protection of personal data. *** Since its adoption in 2006, the Data Retention Directive was heavily criticised by civil society organisations, Members of the European Parliament [3], European institutions [4] and the constitutional courts of several member states [5]. One of the most controversial sections in the Directive is the obligation on telcom operators and Internet access providers to ensure that their subscribers' data "are retained for periods of not less than six months and not more than two years from the date of the communication" in order "to ensure that those data are available for the purpose of the investigation, detection and prosecution of serious crime". These measures were so heavily criticised not least because effective alternative measures of data preservation, that are targeted and thus much more proportional, were already in place in dozens of countries. These measures call on technical intermediaries to preserve specific data and communicate technical data in their possession to authorities within the framework of an investigation [6]. The decision came in response to cases brought by the High Court of Ireland and the Austrian Verfassungsgerichtshof (constitutional court) requesting the Court of the European Union to examine the validity of the Data Retention Directive. In a press release [7], the Court stated today that in its opinion, "the directive interferes in a particularly serious manner with the fundamental rights to respect for private life and to the protection of personal data". This ruling has an erga omnes effect which means that the decision does not just rule on the cases of Ireland and Austria, but extends to all European countries thus obliging some member states to reform their national legislation in order to ensure that it complies with today's ruling. In France, this decision will directly affect the measures of data retention imposed on telecom operators [8] (specifically those measures contained in the "loi de programmation militaire") and those on hosting services [9]. "This landmark decision is a victory for all defenders of privacy who have been fighting mandatory data retention across Europe since 2006 against the bulk retention of communications. Following a year of intense debate on mass surveillance, the EU Court of Justice makes clear that laws adopted in the name of the war on terror have led to unacceptable violations of privacy. This ruling is an invitation for everyone to continue the fight against surveillance by all appropriate means, be they technical, political or legal. One legislative step at a time, our governments had drifted away from the rule of law and now is the time to remind them that fundamental rights are the cornerstones of our democracies and non-negotiable" concluded Félix Tréguer, co-founder of La Quadrature du Net. * References * 1. https://laquadrature.net/files/20140408_CJUE_Data%20retention_EN.pdf 2. http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/ALL/;jsessionid=2SfnTDLRf8JCyGn6Y… 3.

The constitutional courts of Romania (2009), Germany (2010), Bulgaria (2010), Cyprus (2011) and the Czech Republic (2011) ruled the national transpositions of the Directive unconstitutional finding that the invasion of citizens' private life was unproportional.

The third edition of the World Forum for Democracy, to take place on 3‐5 November 2014, will address the challenge of re‐building young people's trust in democracy and re‐shaping institutions to give youth real influence on decision‐making in all social arenas. The Strasbourg World Forum for Democracy is an annual gathering of leaders, opinion-makers, civil society activists, representatives of business, academia, media and professional groups to debate key challenges for democracies worldwide. The Forum is organised by the Council of Europe in partnership with the French government, the Alsace Region and the City of Strasbourg and a range of international organisations, think tanks, foundations, and other partners from the public and private sectors. Organisations and movements worldwide are invited to express their interest in presenting an example/initiative enabling youth participation by answering the attached questionnaire and sending it to forum_democracy(a)coe.int<mailto:[email protected]> by 30 April 2014. Successful initiatives will be identified in May-June 2014. Further information on the World Forum for Democracy 2014 can be found below as well as on our website: www.world-forum-democracy.org<http://www.world-forum-democracy.org>. You are also kindly invited to follow us on Facebook<https://www.facebook.com/WFDemocracy> and Twitter<https://twitter.com/WFDemocracy>. Thank you for your attention. With kind regards, Rabea Willers On behalf of the World Forum for Democracy Secretariat [ http://info.council-of-europe.org/img/55562/2629/10204392/3311/163/edcccabe/ ]< http://info.council-of-europe.org/trk/55561/2629/10204392/3311/163/edcccabe/ > World Forum for Democracy 2014 "From participation to influence: can youth revitalise democracy?" Strasbourg, Council of Europe, 3-5 November 2014 Democracy is played out in the political institutions of society, but also in the multiple arenas where people come together: formal and informal education, the work place, sport, culture, civil society and increasingly, in social media via the Internet. Democracy requires firm and unshakeable foundations, but must be transmitted and renewed from generation to generation. Today, we witness among young people a rising abstention from electoral participation and party politics, distrust in mainstream media, and sometimes violent rejection of traditional embodiments of political power. In transition democracies, young people are at the forefront of movements of popular rejection of corruption and electoral fraud, but are conversely marginalised in the process of democratic consolidation. In times of economic crisis, young people are increasingly faced with exclusionary barriers in the “everyday arenas”. How to increase any democratic participation of youth through the labour market when employment opportunities decrease? Is education a real promise for prosperity and security, and is it a good vehicle for inclusion that extremely qualified generations now have less guarantee of access to the labour market, leading some to speak of a “lost generation”? There is a disparity between young people’s aspirations on the one hand and forms of engagement and the limited opportunities for influence on the other hand. There is also a disparity between the ideals of young people – such as social justice and equality – and the priorities of democratic decision-making. There is a mismatch between the long perspective youth desires to influence in order to shape their future and a pressure to focus on short-term obligations. Nonetheless, potential for youth influence and participation in democracy exists. Many young people are engaged at community and grassroots levels and express strong civic ideals and commitment. A wide range of formal participation opportunities for youth exists – elected student representatives, local youth councils, youth parliaments, youth branches of political parties etc, but their impact is relatively weak. It is crucial to enhance youth democratic involvement, not only in terms of participation (quantity) but also in terms of influence (quality). It would be important to identify cases where such structures are genuine vectors of democratic participation rather than an alibi, and to explore the conditions which make them successful. New ways of socialising and organising are being forged and pioneered by the young via on-line media and social networks, from a perspective which may challenge established models of democratic governance. Moreover, there are a number of successful political figures deeply engaged in the existing structures of representative democracy who try to improve the system “from within”. All these perspectives should be explored in order for societies to mobilise the potential of youth as actors of positive change. The SWFD 2014< http://info.council-of-europe.org/trk/55563/2629/10204392/3311/163/edcccabe/ > will engage with young people and with decision-makers and opinion-formers in a reflection on these patterns of exclusion and involvement and will explore new ways of engaging young people in re-visioning the democratic arenas of today. Call for Lab submissions Deadline: 30 April 2014. Interested organisations worldwide are invited to express their interest in presenting an example/initiative enabling youth participation. < http://info.council-of-europe.org/trk/55564/2629/10204392/3311/163/edcccabe/ >Lab submission form< http://info.council-of-europe.org/trk/55566/2629/10204392/3311/163/edcccabe/ > The Strasbourg World Forum for Democracy is an annual gathering of leaders, opinion-makers, civil society activists, representatives of business, academia, media and professional groups to debate key challenges for democracies worldwide.

Thomas Greco has called for a credit commons, comprised of a network of local clearing systems and for five years now I've been working on tools for constructing that network. Last September a handful of us met in Berlin and hammered out this semi-official protocol on the social and technical levels. http://blog.p2pfoundation.net/wp-content/uploads/CXP_protocol_intertrading_… But work has paused since then because it seems money is needed for software development, and also my attention is taken up with upgrading CES, the largest existing network. CES supports intertrading between its member communities, which I call internal intertrading. I think an Intertrading API, implemented across the networks such as are represented here, would be *as interesting as Bitcoin*, oh yes. Imagine: A global payments network, with a stable unit of value, issued by member communities on the basis of trust and agreed limits, promoted towards transition groups, communities, intentional communities, LETS, time banks or informal barter groups. Unlike Bitcoin, participation involves trust. Unlike Bitcoin, credit issuance would be done by member communities according to their own policies. Unlike Bitcoin, governance and responsibility would be required. As interesting as Bitcoin certainly, but perhaps not such a lottery, a white knuckle ride, polarising issue, and not so divisive or attractive to fraudsters, sharks and speculators. The reason I'm reaching out to everyone here (the To: recipients) is 1. if we could connect our work together we have much more chance of reaching critical mass, 2. there may be opportunities to share resources 3. for most of you, this initiative should add value and global reach to your main projects. So I would like to introduce you to one another. First myself - *Matthew Slater*, cofounder of Community Forge which provides hosting for around 80 LETS and time banks. I produce software for many more, and recently I was made an ambassador for the Global Ecovillage Network in hope that I'll say something insightful about their economy. Then, in approximate descending order of current constituency size... - *Tim Jenkin* is the builder of CES, the largest nonprofit network of mutual credit exchanges in the world - already intertrading and currently collaborating with government in Australia, myself and Jnana consulting. - *Michel Bauwens* (P2P Foundation) wishes to see 'A currency for the commons', meaning the whole sharing economy, including permaculture, carsharing, enterprise investment and I suppose land ownership. - *Jordi Griera* is working with the Catalan Integral Cooperative - a radical coop of coops involving many currency projects which seek to be more interoperable. - *Stephen Beckett* maintains hOurworld which provides hosted software for a great many time banks, with internal intertrading. - New Zealand time banks (*Miles Thompson*) are looking together for the next software platform which will allow them the right degree of interoperability and configurability - *Arie ben David* is building a community money network aimed at villages, activists and also working on politicians and the public in Israel. - *Xavier Hawk* is working with bitcoiners to build a Permacredits cryptocurrency for ecovillages, to encourage investment and help incubate businesses. - *Daniel Neis* is building a new kind of business exchange system in Germany in which the credit issuance is tied directly to the promise of goods and services. - *Neil Peters* is building crowdbucks, a crowdfunding platform and wide modular infrastructure which intends to issue credit on the basis of invested money. - *Marco Sachy & Jaromil* have European money with the D-CENT project which has a broad remit to support communities with democratic tools and monetary tools. Freecoin is envisaged as a toolkit and there is an idea of 'social mining' to issue currency (which I'll blog<http://matslats.net/complementary_currencies>about when I get a minute). These are just the few projects with one foot in the English speaking world who are looking outward... Between us ten projectswe have a constituency of many tens of thousands of users moreorless ready to participate. We have a very high overlap in values, and intentions about building alternatives to money in order to redeem humanity rather than to get rich. Yet between us we are able to generate very little popular excitement about our work. Few of us are blogging, making videos or speaking at conferences. Few of us are under 30. Almost none of us are attracting volunteers. This mail was prompted by a conversation with Neil, who is offering to put a programmer to work on intertrading this month, project managed by me. But we have yet to decide a technical approach for intertrading. If we build it will you implement it? Don't forget the first half of the protocol we published was social, not technical. regardless of the technics, we could start now building the governance if we want to. I don't want to be pushing people where they say they want to go and I don't want to be the only engine on the plane, after all my sabbatical year is 2 years overdue! So I'm calling for a reality check, especially from the named people above. 1. Given the marginal use of internal intertrading in existing systems, am I barking up the wrong tree, or would intertrading at scale have much more potential? 2. Could we accomplish more by working more closely together? 3. If we developed a consistent PR approach, would that help with adoption and volunteering and funding? 4. Should we think of a sexier name for intertrading, and a message such as 'This [sexier name] is the social, local, ecological and grown-up alternative to Bitcoin' and should we then talk about it in public in a coordinated way to educate the people (and Bitcoiners). 5. With a Commons Intertrading infrastructure in place, can we envisage business opportunities e.g. B2B barter networks, crowdfunding that would use it? 6. We are all working hard to make the world better, so who should be contributing to this initiative, if anyone? Please reply to 'all' (50 people) and try to be brief. I hope I haven't been long winded.

Lost & Found” on April 18-19, 2014 to honor the legacy of artist and educator Antoni Muntadas. This symposium and corresponding exhibition will investigate the manifold definitions of public space across disciplines and the tools, tactics and consequences of reclaiming public space through art and architecture. We will use the concept of ‘spatial cultural identity’ to address and negotiate the complexities of ideas, situations, objects and materials that are inherent to any public space in relation to its context. Furthermore, the project aims to emphasize the possibilities of interdisciplinary collaboration, particularly between art, science and technology, and explore the relationship between theory and practice. Over the course of the two days, five thematic panels will interrogate a specific question or problem as it relates to public space. Speakers will be grouped to represent overlapping research areas and modes of practice. The panels will follow themes including: Private Public Spaces, Reclaiming Public Space, Alternatives for Contemporary Public Space, Speculations on the Future of Public Space and Pedagogy of Public Space. Speakers have been invited based on their impressive work on relevant topics across privatization of public space, urban gentrification, corporate public space typology, infrastructural public spaces and leftover urban space, surveillance and security, violence, appropriation of public space, public art, activities and revolution in public space, non-places and commercial spaces, and the school as public space. for registration and further reference: http://act.mit.edu/projects-and-events/events/public-programs/public-space-… If any questions do not hesitate to be in touch with Lucas Spivey < spivey(a)MIT.EDU> , the interim event producer at ACT.
