A presentation from Urska Umek at the Council of Europe on the Online and offline threats to media pluralism. Presented at the 2018 CMPF conference, Measuring Media Pluralism in Europe - Between Old Risks and New Threats.
This document outlines the program for a conference on monitoring media pluralism in Europe. It discusses the Media Pluralism Monitor (MPM), which has assessed media pluralism in EU countries and others since 2014. The MPM uses a comprehensive questionnaire across four areas and 20 indicators to evaluate 200 variables from primary and secondary sources. It analyzes different types of legacy and digital media. A risk-based approach uses a traffic light system to indicate the level of risk to media pluralism in each country.
This document discusses media pluralism in Central and Eastern Europe based on a presentation by Dr. Václav Štětka. It finds that many countries in the region have seen declines in media freedom and pluralism in recent years. Common issues include high concentration of media ownership, lack of transparency, political influence over public media, and threats to editorial independence. Countries like Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic are highlighted as having particularly concerning trends, such as political takeovers of public media and attempts to control independent outlets. Overall, illiberal populism is seen as a threat to journalists and trust in news media in the region. The document calls for the EU to do more to protect media pluralism and independence.
1) Economic consolidation in the digital advertising market poses a threat to media plurality as a small number of large tech companies like Google and Facebook dominate online advertising revenue.
2) Technological changes introduced by digital platforms could threaten quality of information by reducing the diversity of news sources and enabling the spread of disinformation.
3) The MPM 2020 project aims to update the existing Media Pluralism Monitor to better assess new digital-age risks to media plurality from factors like social media microtargeting, algorithmic news personalization, and filter bubbles.

Visualization dashboards will display analyzed data and trends to support policy evaluation and development.
WeGov Generic presentation at the 1st Crossroad WorkshopWeGov project
WeGov participated at the 1st workshop of the Crossroad project (http://crossroad.epu.ntua.gr) entitled State of Play & Visionary Scenario Design Validation Workshop, on the 29th -30th April 2010, in Seville. The Workshop convened experts from several research areas, policy makers and practitioners in order to discuss and validate the results of the first phase of the project, namely the Analysis of the State of Play of Research in the domain of ICT for Governance and Policy Modelling and the Visionary Scenarios designed to explore how governance and policy modelling could develop at the horizon 2030.
This document discusses the importance of transparency in media ownership for democracy. It argues that mandatory reporting requirements are needed to identify the beneficial and ultimate owners of media outlets. Such requirements should apply to broadcast, print, and online media and collect basic information on ownership structure, financial accounts, and interests in other organizations. Media regulators should collect this information and make it publicly available to ensure transparency and prevent undue concentration of media ownership and political influence. Adopting clear rules and standards on ownership transparency is crucial to guarantee media pluralism.
This document summarizes the ManyLaws project which aims to address fragmented legal information across Europe by mining and aggregating national and EU legal data sources. The project will develop services for seamless access to legal data for citizens, businesses, and public administrations. These services will include parallel search of laws across countries, assessment of EU directive transposition, comparative analysis of laws, and visualizations of law relationships. The conceptual model presents legal data as interconnected graphs. The project has partners from 5 countries and will integrate 5 legal databases and analyze 8000 legislations over 24 months.
This document summarizes the key challenges in regulating convergent media in Australia. It discusses how traditional media regulation based on licensed broadcasting, ownership rules, and content standards no longer fits a media environment characterized by globalization, convergence of content and delivery platforms, and user-generated content. It analyzes challenges to the traditional "public interest" regulatory model and whether technological change favors a more neoliberal approach. The document also examines issues around measuring and regulating media concentration and influence in this new environment.

Cybercities as organizations based on data refining and feedback - Pawel KuczmaPawel Kuczma
Cybercity is a city in which data on all possible activities is gathered , structured, analyzed and decisions are made and executed automatically (when possible and desired) on the basis of data in real time, with residents and authorities participating. Cybercity is not however a city in cyberspace. Cybercity is the next development step after smartcities.
The Digital Services Act - soon in your countryKirsten Fiedler
The Digital Services Act aims to create uniform rules for digital services across the EU. It establishes tiered obligations for intermediary services, hosting services, online platforms, and very large online platforms. It aims to make the internet safer, combat disinformation, and address the impact of platforms. Very large platforms will face additional requirements like risk assessments, recommender system transparency, and data access for researchers. Enforcement will be coordinated by national Digital Services Coordinators and the EU Commission can impose fines up to 6% of global revenue on very large platforms.
The document presents the Cybersecurity Strategy of the European Union. It discusses how cyberspace has become critical to society and the economy but also faces growing threats. It outlines five strategic priorities to address these threats: 1) achieving cyber resilience through cooperation between public and private sectors, 2) reducing cybercrime, 3) developing cyberdefense capabilities, 4) strengthening cybersecurity industry and technology, and 5) establishing international cyber policy. It proposes legislative actions to establish common cybersecurity standards and information sharing across the EU to enhance prevention, detection and response to cyber incidents. The private sector is encouraged to improve cyber defenses and share best practices due to its key role in owning cyber infrastructure.

It outlines key rights to privacy and data protection under the European Convention on Human Rights. It also summarizes Council of Europe and European Union regulations regarding data protection, including the General Data Protection Regulation. Recent court cases that have impacted data privacy are highlighted, such as those related to data retention and the right to be forgotten. Trends in data protection across different forums and challenges that remain are briefly noted.
European Commission plan for regulating artificial intelligence in the Europe...Δρ. Γιώργος K. Κασάπης
The proposal, published by the European Commission, establishes technical and ethical standards that would influence the development and use of AI in health care and other industries.
The rules call for strict enforcement of data quality and requirements that AI developers take steps to eliminate bias in their algorithms. Among the provisions that caught our eye:
•AI systems should be audited to examine the quality of data used to train AI products, as well as how it was gathered and selected, to determine whether adequate steps were taken to ensure algorithms are free of bias.
•In cases where data provenance could not be adequately vetted, AI systems may have to be re-trained on European data using the EU’s quality standards.
•Human oversight of an AI’s conclusions would be required when individual rights or safety are at risk. In such situations, patients would also need to be informed that AI systems were being used.
We work in turning Data into Wisdom for the convenience of all care stakeholders involved into our integrated and interdependent system. We will surely follow EU AI Guiding Principles…….
The document discusses challenges for privacy laws and regulations posed by ubiquitous computing technologies. It outlines various human rights laws and data protection instruments that aim to protect individual privacy. It raises important questions about how system designers can ensure privacy protections are built into ubiquitous computing systems from the start and that individuals can provide informed consent over the collection and use of their personal data.
Presentation on EU Directives Impacting Cyber Security for Information Securi...Brian Honan
This document discusses current and upcoming cybersecurity policies and directives in Europe. It summarizes that the EU considers cybercrime a major threat and has made it a priority between 2014-2017. Key policies and directives discussed include the EU's Critical Infrastructure Protection policy from 2009, directives on combating child abuse and attacks against information systems, and the upcoming Cyber Security and Data Protection directives. The document outlines the objectives and focus areas of these policies to enhance cybersecurity capabilities and cooperation across Europe.
This document discusses the needs of European cities for Internet of Things (IoT) and data marketplaces. It summarizes an example project called CITYkeys that focused on performance measurement and involved cities in the process. It also discusses the creation of a data management task group and the importance of data access, availability, and usability for efficient city management. Finally, it outlines 10 principles from EUROCITIES around citizen data use, privacy, transparency, sharing, quality, and more.
The EU document proposes reforms to data privacy regulations to give individuals greater control over personal data collected by companies. It acknowledges that current regulations are outdated and do not address today's data practices. The proposed reforms aim to strengthen individual rights by requiring opt-in for data collection and use, data minimization by companies, and a "right to be forgotten." However, the document is criticized for not sufficiently addressing technical implementation details or conflicts with freedom of expression. The implications of the legislation could be significant globally as other regions may adopt similar regulations.
The document discusses data protection issues related to the Internet of Things (IoT) under EU law, outlining privacy challenges identified by the EU's Article 29 Working Party including lack of user control, quality of consent, security risks, and limitations on anonymity, and it summarizes relevant EU data protection principles governing the collection and processing of personal data from IoT devices.
This document discusses privacy and data protection concerns arising from new technologies that collect personal data, online marketing practices, data breaches, and increasing data-driven litigation. It defines privacy as an individual's ability to control information about themselves and outlines three dimensions of privacy: personal, territorial, and informational. The document also examines definitions of privacy, threats to privacy from different sources, cybercrimes relating to privacy compromises, and variations in data protection legislation around the world.
BigDataEurope - Big Data & Secure SocietiesBigData_Europe
This document discusses opportunities and challenges related to big data and secure societies. It outlines the goals of the EU's Horizon 2020 Secure Societies program, which aims to enhance resilience against disasters and threats through new crisis management tools, forensic tools to fight crime and terrorism, improved border security, and enhanced cybersecurity. It also describes how big data from sources like satellite imagery, aerial imagery, and open sources can support EU decision-making, but presents challenges involving integrating and analyzing heterogeneous data at large scales while protecting privacy. Requirements include dealing with complex datasets, speeding up processing and visualization, guaranteeing timely and value-added products through data fusion, and developing algorithms for trend analysis.
This document summarizes trends in ubiquitous multimedia computing. It discusses concepts like ubiquitous computing, ambient intelligence, and the internet of things. It outlines trends in areas like m-health, ubiquitous multimedia services, context awareness, and security issues. It also summarizes two European ICT projects focused on elderly care and alarm handling. Finally, it discusses the speaker's experiences with ubiquitous multimedia projects and their plans to apply that experience to solutions for e-health, e-learning, and e-management.
Marsden regulating disinformation Brazil 2020Chris Marsden
This document discusses regulatory options for addressing disinformation and summarizes the key points from a seminar on the topic. It defines disinformation and distinguishes it from misinformation. It examines the challenges around regulating online content, including defining hard evidence of harm, determining what media is most influential, and the limitations of using AI/automated tools. It outlines a typology of regulatory approaches and sources that were consulted in the research. Finally, it provides five recommendations for the EU, emphasizing media literacy, human review of automated content moderation, independent appeals of platform decisions, standardizing procedures, and transparency of AI techniques.
This document discusses several options for African data protection and privacy policies, including:
1. Constitutional rights and implementing international conventions or models for informational privacy rights.
2. Regional Economic Community agreements like ECOWAS and SADC models as well as proposed policies focused on issues like data justice, group privacy, discrimination, and representation.
3. Key drivers for developing new policies including national interests, economic cooperation, innovation, and changing social views shaped by technology and globalization. Areas of focus could include education, consent, humanitarian assistance, and consumer protection to encourage development.
Communications data retention in an evolving Internetblogzilla
This document discusses communications data retention and access in the context of an evolving internet. It outlines key issues including how data retention is being used and whether it is proportionate given changing internet usage patterns and surveillance techniques. The document also examines recent court decisions questioning data retention and proposes ways to update requirements to balance law enforcement needs with privacy protections.
This document provides an overview of polls and discusses several key concepts related to interpreting and reporting on polls. It notes that polling error can be expected to be around 2-2.2 percentage points on average and discusses how to identify reliable polls based on factors like the source, sample size, and methodology. It also explains important polling concepts like margins of error, confidence intervals, and how a poll of polls can provide a more accurate picture than any single poll.

This document discusses media markets and the internet. It describes media markets as two-sided markets with network externalities. The internet value chain is explained, along with competitive structures in web markets and characteristics like direct, cross-side, and indirect network effects that can lead to winner-take-all outcomes. Online advertising markets are summarized, including concentrations in search and mobile. Traditional and new sources of online information are compared, and business models for online news are outlined.
1) Wikileaks publishes classified documents from anonymous sources to reveal suppressed information, but nations argue this can threaten national security by exposing intelligence operations or strategic data.
2) There is debate around whether Wikileaks' releases serve the public interest or if they can legitimately withhold some information like defense plans or intelligence methods to protect national security.
3) International laws and ethics principles aim to balance security and transparency, but Wikileaks escapes jurisdiction and its releases are limited only by technological not ethical constraints, raising questions about developing global media standards.
This document summarizes a presentation on comparing public spheres. It discusses different models of public spheres, challenges in comparing public spheres across countries, and findings from analyses of several issues in European public spheres. Key findings include that debates are often framed in national rather than European terms, there are both pan-European and nationally-focused public spheres, and media play both dependent and independent roles in shaping public debates. The document outlines areas for further research on the rise of populism and roles of traditional and new media.
This document provides an overview of new trends in investigative journalism, as presented in a lecture by Philip Di Salvo. It discusses how the field of investigative journalism is changing in the digital age, with opportunities arising from access to new data sources, the ability to crowdsource information, and platforms for secure leaking of documents. Key concepts examined include data journalism, crowdsourcing investigations, and the rise of digital whistleblowing sites. Several case studies of innovative investigative journalism organizations and projects are also summarized.
