Law

ZDnet, Emil Protalinski.

Facebook does some interesting pattern analyzing to fight spam. To do this, it seems to track ALL click patterns...

ZDnet, Emil Protalinski. Facebook Immune System checks 25 billion actions every day

This week's news includes a lot of articles regarding the dangers of technology: Facebook, iPhone and Android software are very active in stealing information from users.

Check out some of the articles, as well as a few research links I had stored for my own research purposes:

- NetworkWorld: US military wants to protect social media privacy
(US military concearns about social media are not new: Pentagon Orders Review of Social Networking

- InSecurity Complex: Searchable Facebook user data posted to Pirate Bay

- BBC: Facebook data harvester speaks out

- The Official Lookout Blog: Introducing the App Genome Project (about the many iPhone and Android application stealing and using personal data)

Some research about social media issues:
- Debatin e.a. (2009): "Facebook and Online Privacy: Attitudes, Behaviors, and Unintended Consequences"

- Fogel, Nehmad (2009), "Internet social network communities: Risk taking, trust, and privacy concerns"

- E. Ur, Ganapathy (2009): "Evaluating Attack Amplification in Online Social Networks"

Almost as shocking as fake-eggs (which might actually be more of a hoax, check out the Counterfeit Industry pages) and this one is definitely real: a "fake Dinseyland". A Chinese state-sponsored themepark with copycat Japanese & American characters - none of which are licensed.

Check out the following video on YouTube (originally broadcasted on Japanese TV, translation has been added):

The following links I have listed mainly for my own research purposes. Therefore, most pages are only available in Dutch.

They may be useful to other people interested in ICT and Law, especially those who can read Dutch .
Also, if you can suggest interesting links on this subject, please contact me!

A lot of links are related to the Wilders 'Fitna' case. At this moment, I am working on a case study of Fitna for a paper regarding cultural conflicts & freedom of expression on the Internet.

I am also building a list of Virtual Worlds Law links, this list is available on the Virtual Worlds page on this website.

UPDATE:
I have been visiting the University of Amsterdam law library the last few weeks, and have found quite a few good books. I will add some references later this week.

Other articles relating freedom of expression & Wilders:

Dirk-Jan van Baar:
Het vrije woord is niet gebaat bij discussiestukken

Waar Wilders is, is vuur

Bij de vrijheid van godsdienst gaat het om de vrijheid – niet om de godsdienst

Nog even de meningsvrijheid

De vrijheid van meningsuiting wordt helemaal niet bedreigd

De Centrum Democraten van Wilders

De vrijheid van meningsuiting komt voort uit handelsgeest – niet uit scherpslijperij
