Behind the scenes, the Net freedom may be threatened

It is a story cascading and extremely complex. One story that could have serious implications for all Internet users worldwide. One such story where nothing is all black or all white, but everything is cause for concern, because it is our freedoms and a tools that allows our expression referred.

A warning

the American Commissioner to explain that the ITU, International Telecommunication Union to, attached to the UN since 1947, will review in December, at the request of some of its 193 member states, the treaty 1988 to mark the WCIT, the World Conference on International Telecommunications . And it is not nothing: the Treaty of 1988, also called the Treaty of International Telecommunications Regulation, enabled the emergence and development both structurally and economically of the Net as we know it today.

The risk of revision

Review the treaty is not inherently evil. According to Robert McDowell, the most worrying is further proposed amendments to the Treaty and to those who submitted them. In his column last February, and it points the finger at China, Russia and their allies.

economic and political heavy

The first group consists, broadly, many countries are developing or growing now, who would like the United States dropped a bit of ballast less tightly controlled and some institutions, such as ICANN, at the heart of how the Internet works.

Just like the Non-Aligned Movement of the 60/70, these countries would like to weigh in the balance of the Net and its economy.

EFF and a host of associations come into play

150 years of democracy

Applications that do not seem exuberant and are well on the straight of this love very American to direct democracy. However, is it possible to set up such sites? The debate, highly technical, is it affordable for all? Many questions for colossal stakes.

ITU, last February contacted by us and we would have liked eloquent, could not answer questions that had aroused in the editorial reading of the chronicle of Robert McDowell. It was however noted that within the ITU decisions are made democratically, each member having one vote. Similarly, we were reminded that for nearly 150 years of existence of the ITU, the common interest had always been defended and carried forward, even if this required sometimes heated debates …

Candor? Sense of reality? Need to change and division of powers? Critical need to avoid certain countries are undemocratic strong hand at the heart of the Internet? The show that emerges from this little crisis is worrying. Behind the scenes of Net ensures the future of what is now a media. Whatever the ultimate direction taken, there is concern essentially beyond economic issues: our freedoms.

Social Networks: addiction to addition, lost identity (4/5)

Towards a unique identity

For years, many politicians, joined by an increasing proportion of actors from the private sector, we explain a unique identity (biometrically ) securely over the Internet, is not only desirable but also inevitable. And again, the private sector could be much more effective than government to make the public accept this kind of measure, as it has managed to digest the biometric profiling, no government could have achieved without causing an outcry history.

but not for all

Time and again, the spread of social networks is presented as progress, as a transition towards a more virtuous “transparent”. Mark Zuckerberg’s dream would be, according to his family, to promote “transparent society”, as described by the utopian American David Brin. Such analysis, however, completely ignores the nature of the panoptic unambiguous: a “transparent” ever more total users is requested. The intermediary – the machine, the black box from Facebook, Google and others – remains for its share of total opacity.
