> Press release:
>
> +++ Top German Court on Internet tracking: IP addresses are personal
> data +++
>
> This week the German Federal Supreme Court (Bundesgerichtshof) looked
> into whether website operators such as Google or Facebook may record
> which information Internet users read, post or searched on the web ? or
> whether citizens have a right to use the Internet anonymously. The
> ruling concerns the case of German pirate party politician and privacy
> activist Patrick Breyer who is suing the German government over logging
> all visits to government websites (Case VI ZR 135/13).
>
> According to the court?s ruling, users? IP addresses qualify as personal
> data and may be collected only where allowed by data protection law.
>
> Contrary to some reports, the Court did not decide[2] on whether website
> operators may retain IP addresses in bulk to guard against online
> attacks. Instead the court referred the case back to the Court of Appeal
> (Landgericht) of Berlin in order to establish a sufficient factual basis
> concerning the necessity and proportionality of such metadata retention.
> The court?s press release[3] translates as follows:
>
> ?In the present case the Court of Appeal?s findings were insufficient to
> balance the interests at stake. The Court of Appeal did not sufficiently
> establish whether retaining the applicant?s IP addresses is necessary in
> order to ensure the (general) operability of the services used. The
> defendent concedes that it does not retain IP addresses regarding many
> of its websites due to the low risk of an attack. There are no findings
> as to the risk of attack suffered by other federal websites the
> applicant wishes to use. After establishing these facts the Court of
> Appeal will need to balance, as required by the European Court of
> Justice, the defendent?s interest in ensuring the operability of its
> online media services against the applicant?s interest or fundamental
> rights and freedoms. In this context due regard shall be given to the
> issues of general prevention and law enforcement.?
>
> Breyer calls on the Commission to act on the lack of specific EU rules
> protecting on-line privacy: ?The Commission should amend EU legislation
> to specifically prohibit any blanket recording of our Internet use by
> website operators. Europe should reject the ruthless NSA method of
> ?collecting it all? and enforce our right to freedom of information and
> expression in the digital age.?
>
> Breyer argues that websites can be safe without tracking every user
> across every page: ?This Internet stalking is about as useful as
> mounting a CCTV camera next to an open warehouse door. We need secure IT
> systems, not a general suspicion against Europe?s 400 million Internet
> users?.
>
> Website operators often record and track their users online behaviour
> for commercial purposes, but also to disclose records to law enforcement
> agencies and owners of copyright-protected content upon request. Breyer
> is challenging this practise and demands that operators anonymize users?
> IP addresses:
>
> ?Banning governments and Internet giants from identifiably recording our
> browsing habits is the only way to effectively shield our private life
> and interests, to prevent erroneous infringement notices and false
> suspicions. IP addresses have turned out to be extremely prone to error
> und unreliable when used to identify users. For as long as browsing the
> Internet can result in prosecution, there is no real freedom of
> information and expression on-line.
>
> Nobody has a right to record everything we do and say on-line.
> Generation Internet has a right to access information on-line just as
> unmonitored and without inhibition as our parents read the paper,
> listened to the radio or browsed books.?

> We do training and workshops focusing on data and privacy but also on

> All the info and link for applications is below.
> ************
> Tactical Tech has opened the call for applications for its first ever
> "Data Investigation Camp", for experienced evidence explorers, data
> critics and data storytellers working on social/political issues such as
> *corruption*, accountability and transparency, environmental and social
> justice, human rights, and abuses of power.
>
> Especially useful to organisations or people using data for evidence
> based campaigning.
>
> The event will take place from 19-24 July 2017 in an old port town in
> Montenegro.
>
> Applicants from all over the world are accepted -the deadline is May 29.
> Those selected will be eligible for funding of their costs.
>
> The Data Investigation Camp will bring 50 people together to focus on

> of power within a human rights, investigative journalism and
> anti-corruption framework.
>
> This event is specifically designed for participants who already have
> existing experience using data to tell stories and change narratives
> through proven and successful projects.
>
> We plan to share practical knowledge, techniques, methodologies, tools
> and skills on data investigations. From collecting to analysing to
> visualising data, we will look at working with closed and open, small
> and big, personal and public data. We will work together to explore new
> techniques, share skills, push boundaries and build on the existing
> knowledge, skill, and experience of our community while including new
> voices.
>
> Come with a project, get inspired by others and learn new skills and
> techniques. We will push the boundaries of data led evidence gathering,
> share practical techniques, spark friction, explore difficult dilemmas
> and build networks.

> In this seminar, Dr. Sebastian Sevignani reflects on what needs are, how

> contradictions that these movements face under capitalism. The overall
> goal for this discussion is to work toward a critical theory of needs
> under informational capitalism.

> Benjamin J Birkinbine is Assistant Professor of Media Studies at
> University of Nevada, Reno. Whilst based at WIAS as international
> research fellow, he works towards a critical theory of the digital commons.

>
>
> CPDP2018 Call for Papers
> Call for Papers CPDP2018 ? The Internet of Bodies. This call is
> addressed to all researchers who wish to present their papers at the
> next Computers, Privacy and Data Protection conference.
>
> CPDP Conferences 10th anniversary
>
> *CALL FOR PAPERS 2018 ? The Internet of Bodies*
>
>
> CPDP is an annual three-day conference devoted to privacy and data
> protection. The 11th edition of CPDP will be held on 24-26 January 2018
> in Brussels. Whilst a number of speakers are specifically invited by the
> conference, several slots remain open to application through an annual
> call for papers. The CPDP2018 Call for Papers is addressed to all
> researchers who wish to present their papers at the next Computers,
> Privacy and Data Protection conference.
>
> The call is split into two different tracks. The first is dedicated to
> experienced researchers (i.e. from postdoctoral researchers on), while
> the second welcomes PhD students and other junior researchers.
> Contributions are welcome from all disciplines with perspectives on the
> themes of the conference. The dual-track structure of the CPDP2018 Call
> for Papers aims to meet the increasing interest of researchers ? from
> all levels and from multiple disciplines ? in CPDP and their
> expectations in terms of academic feedback and exchange. Please submit
> your contribution through the EasyChair conference system through the
> following link:
> https://easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?key=54227266.Ef8HraNpV6VsWoCE
>
> The overarching theme of the 2018 edition is the ?Internet of Bodies?.
> Data collection increasingly focuses on the physical body. Bodies are
> increasingly connected, digitized and informatized. In turn, the data
> extracted is reassembled in ways that give rise to significant questions
> ? challenging fundamental assumptions about where the corporeal ends and
> the informational begins. Biometrics, genetic data processing and the
> quantified self are only some of the trends and technologies reaching
> into the depths of our bodies. Emerging technologies such as human
> enhancement, neural implants and brain wave technology look likely to
> soon become a daily reality.
>
>
> *RELEVANT FIELDS AND TOPICS*
> The CPDP Scientific Committee invites papers in the fields of law,
> social sciences, philosophy and computer sciences (as well as other
> relevant fields). Multidisciplinary papers are particularly welcome. In
> particular, this call aims to reach researchers whose works relate to
> new technologies, privacy and data protection. Selected researchers will
> have the valuable opportunity to present their papers in the conference
> academic sessions. The main theme highlighted this year is ?The Internet
> of Bodies?, but we welcome any original topics related to the general
> themes of the conference and especially encourage technology-focused and
> interdisciplinary submissions.
>
> Follow this link
> information about the topics presented at previous editions of CPDP.
>
> In case of doubt regarding the suitability of a contribution for the
> conference, please contact Lorenzo Dalla Corte
> <mailto:lorenzo.dallacorte at cpdpconferences.org
> ?subject=Call%20for%20Papers>.

> (ideally) start Sept. 1, 2017 and last for up to 5 years. The post-doc
> would initially join a multinational team of researchers on a large
> grant-funded comparative law project led by Prof. Bert-Jaap Koops. We are
> looking for someone with expertise in privacy, criminal law, criminal
> procedure, and/or cybercrime in UK and other common law jurisdictions
> (e.g., the USA and Canada). *Applications will be accepted through June 9,
> 2017.*
>
> Please forward this opening to any of your students or colleagues who may
> be interested.

> Post-doctorate position in criminal law, privacy at TILT: "Privacy in the
> 21st century: finding new boundary markers through comparative legal
> research".
>
>
>
> TILT is looking for a post-doctorate researcher with a background in law,
> specialized in criminal law and having affinity with cybercrime and
> privacy. The position is, for the first two years, part of the VICI project
> of prof. Bert-Jaap Koops, 'Privacy in the 21st century: finding a new
> paradigm to protect citizens in the age of ubiquitous data'.
>
>
>
> The project seeks to find ways to reinvent legal protection of privacy,
> which is currently based on a distinction between private and public
> places, which is outdated because people carry their private life around
> using mobile devices and cloud computing, and the default condition in
> public space is changing from being anonymous to being identifiable,
> through pervasive surveillance and tracking technologies. In view of these
> socio-technical trends, the law should find alternative concepts or
> distinctions to determine what comes closest to people's personal life in
> our technology-pervaded society: a metaphorical 'home 2.0'.
>
>
>
> The project addresses these questions through integrating comparative law
> and Science and Technology Studies. The postdoc will be responsible for
> comparative legal analysis of common-law jurisdictions, primarily the
> United Kingdom, and secondarily Canada and the United States. The research
> will focus on how new privacy concepts, such as ?home 2.0?, fit in the
> legal system and whether they can be used to address topical legal
> challenges, such as cloud investigations, smartphone searches incident to
> arrest, and police hacking. The postdoc will closely collaborate with prof.
> Koops and a PhD student who research the same for civil-law jurisdictions.
>
>
>
> Besides the project, the postdoc will supervise Master theses and possibly
> conduct other minor teaching tasks, as well as actively participating in
> everyday TILT activities. Collaboration may also be requested in other,
> shorter-term projects related to privacy or cybersecurity.
>
>
>
> After two years, the postdoc will work on other (possibly self-initiated)
> projects on related topics, within TILT?s research cluster in cybercrime
> and cyber-investigations.
>
>
>
> *Job requirements and qualifications*
>
> You have completed a PhD in criminal law, or in a closely related field (a
> Juris Doctor (J.D.) is also acceptable). You have experience in researching
> UK law and other common-law jurisdictions. You have demonstrable interest
> in developments in cybercrime, cybersecurity, and privacy, and you aim to
> develop yourself further in this field. You have an academic mind-set, good
> analytic skills, strong research, writing and collaborative skills, and an
> excellent command of written and spoken English. You like to work
> independently but also to collaborate closely within a small team. Teaching
> experience and experience in grant applications are considered an
> advantage.
>
>
>
> *Terms of employment*
>
> We offer a challenging job in an inspiring and friendly environment. The
> envisaged starting date is 1 September 2017 on a fulltime basis (both
> conditions negotiable). The position is for a fixed-term contract for 5
> years as post doc researcher (UFO profile: researcher 3). Tilburg
> University is among the top of the Dutch employers and has an excellent
> policy concerning terms of employment. Depending on the candidates?
> experience, the starting gross salary will vary between ? 3.427,- and ?
> 4.691,- per month (for a full-time appointment) based on scale 11 of the

> outside the Netherlands may qualify for a tax-free allowance equal to 30%
> of their taxable salary. The university will apply for such an allowance on
> their behalf.

> time (0,8 fte) to the VICI activities, and 20% to other responsibilities,
> such as teaching, master thesis supervision and other tasks. In case of 0,8

> VICI activities for the duration of the project.
>
>
>
> *Applications and information concerning the vacancies*
>
> The project will be conducted at Tilburg Institute for Law, Technology, and
