Encore the ANNUAL RESEARCH MAGAZINE of the ALEXANDER VON HUMBOLDT INSTITUTE for INTERNET and SOCIETY encore THE ANNUAL RESEARCH MAGAZINE OF THE ALEXANDER VON HUMBOLDT INSTITUTE FOR INTERNET AND SOCIETY VOLUME 2015 encore THE ANNUAL RESEARCH MAGAZINE OF THE ALEXANDER VON HUMBOLDT INSTITUTE FOR INTERNET AND SOCIETY VOLUME 2015 EDITORIAL Jeanette Hofmann, Director of the Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society Not a day goes by without news about the digitalisation of our everyday life, its great promises but also its clashes with established norms and values. Are we ready for chips to be implanted under our skin? Do we embrace the idea of a decentralised digital currency? Will we be outperformed by the miracles of artificial intelligence and what can we expect from algorithmic regulation? Schumpeter’s “creative destruction” challenges us to shed new light on all the things we usually take for granted and to ask ourselves how we can give direction to the ongoing processes of transformation that modern societies face. As an interdisciplinary research institute, the Alexander von Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society (HIIG) contributes in many ways to address these big questions. First of all, the HIIG has established itself as an important node in a growing network of researchers in the area of Internet and society. In 2015, Julian Staben, one of our first PhD students, submitted his thesis; many more will follow him in 2016. In view of the completion of our first generation of doctoral students, we revised our research programme and placed greater emphasis on interdisciplinary and cross-divisional issues. In addition to the Digitaler Salon, by now a well-established monthly discussion panel co-organised with DRadio Wissen, we organised a number of public and academic events. Among the first category was the Lunch Talk with Peter Thiel whose provocative ideas garnered a lot of attention. Towards the end of the year, we kicked off our new lecture series, co-organised with the Vodafone Institute for Society and Communication, on Big data: big power shifts?. We also had the pleasure of hosting two academic conferences; the annual Gikii meeting headed Living in the future and a meeting of the Sections Computer-mediated Communication and Sociology of Media Communication of the German Communication Association that addressed the dual dynamics of increasing and decreasing complexity in media and communication. Last but not least, following an extensive search that put the patience of many people to the test, the HIIG signed a tenancy agreement for an excellent new office. Located in Französische Straße between the Foreign Office and the Tiergarten, it enables all HIIG staff members and their guests to work once again on the same floor. What impact will this architectural change have on our interdisciplinary research? We are looking forward to the outcomes in 2016! 5 ARTICLES 30 Three ways of understanding civil disobedience in a digitised world CONTENT 40 Seizing the moment – is our understanding of open access too shortsighted? 46 Reputation instead of obligation: forging new policies to motivate academic data sharing 58 User innovations in the energy market 70 Collaborations between established companies and startups 84 Games research at HIIG hits the road 90 Orphan works in the U.S.: getting rid of “a frustration, a liability risk, and a major cause of gridlock” 106 South Africa might get the worst internet censorship law in Africa 114 The right to be forgotten: recent developments and German case law 122 The net neutrality debate on Twitter 140 Internet interconnection: networking in uncertain terrain 154 Internet and Society?

Its goal is to understand the interplay of social-cultural, legal, economic, and technical norms in the process of digitalisation. Grounded in basic and applied research, the HIIG contributes novel ideas and insights to the public debate on the challenges and opportunities of digitalisation. It serves as a forum for researchers on Internet and society and encourages the collaborative development of projects, applications, and research networks on the national and international level. The institute uses a variety of formats to share its research with the public, including the political sphere, business and civil society. The three founding associates – the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, the University of the Arts Berlin and the Social Science Research Center Berlin, in alliance with the Hans Bredow Institute for Media Research in Hamburg as an integrated cooperation partner – enable multilayer perspectives of the Institute by focusing on technological and legal perspectives, as well as on sociological, economical and artistic aspects. 9 THE INSTITUTE’S LINEUP Kerstin Bass Matti Große Internet-enabled Innovation Internet-enabled Innovation Susanne Becker Adrian Haase Management Global Constitutionalism and the Internet Theresa Behrendt Jeanette Hofmann Global Constitutionalism and the Internet Internet Policy and Governance Marie-Christine Dähn Juliane Hüttl Global Constitutionalism and the Internet Management Kevin Dankert Leontine Jenner Internet and Media Regulation Internet Policy and Governance Martina Dopfer Christian Katzenbach Internet-enabled Innovation Internet Policy and Governance Frédéric Dubois Urs Kind Internet Policy Review Internet-enabled Innovation Jenny Fadranski Jakob Korbel Management Internet-enabled Innovation Benedikt Fecher Felix Krupar Internet-enabled Innovation Internet and Media Regulation Kristin Franz Hannfried Leisterer Management Global Constitutionalism and the Internet Sascha Friesike Sebastian Leuschner Internet-enabled Innovation Global Constitutionalism and the Internet Kai Gärtner Jana Leusing Management Global Constitutionalism and the Internet Paul Gebelein Antonia Lingens Internet Policy and Governance Internet-enabled Innovation Kirsten Gollatz Florian Lüdtke Internet Policy and Governance Management Maximilian von Grafenstein Rike Maier Internet-enabled Innovation Global Constitutionalism and the Internet 10 Uta Meier-Hahn Thomas Schildhauer Internet Policy and Governance Internet-enabled Innovation Mattia Nelles Jana Schudrowitz Internet-enabled Innovation Management Konstanze Neumann Wolfgang Schulz Internet-enabled Innovation Internet and Media Regulation Shirley Ogolla Hanna Soditt Internet-enabled Innovation Global Constitutionalism and the Internet Emma Peters Julian Staben Global Constitutionalism and the Internet Internet and Media Regulation Ingolf Pernice Robin P.G.

  • Romanian Political Science Review Vol. XXI, No. 1 2021
    Romanian Political Science Review vol. XXI, no. 1 2021 The end of the Cold War, and the extinction of communism both as an ideology and a practice of government, not only have made possible an unparalleled experiment in building a democratic order in Central and Eastern Europe, but have opened up a most extraordinary intellectual opportunity: to understand, compare and eventually appraise what had previously been neither understandable nor comparable. Studia Politica. Romanian Political Science Review was established in the realization that the problems and concerns of both new and old democracies are beginning to converge. The journal fosters the work of the first generations of Romanian political scientists permeated by a sense of critical engagement with European and American intellectual and political traditions that inspired and explained the modern notions of democracy, pluralism, political liberty, individual freedom, and civil rights. Believing that ideas do matter, the Editors share a common commitment as intellectuals and scholars to try to shed light on the major political problems facing Romania, a country that has recently undergone unprecedented political and social changes. They think of Studia Politica. Romanian Political Science Review as a challenge and a mandate to be involved in scholarly issues of fundamental importance, related not only to the democratization of Romanian polity and politics, to the “great transformation” that is taking place in Central and Eastern Europe, but also to the make-over of the assumptions and prospects of their discipline. They hope to be joined in by those scholars in other countries who feel that the demise of communism calls for a new political science able to reassess the very foundations of democratic ideals and procedures.

  • European Union Launches Full Scale War Against Internet Privacy with #Chatcontrol (Eprivacy Derogation)
    European Union launches full scale war against internet privacy with #ChatControl (ePrivacy Derogation) On July 6, 2021, the European Union voted on the new “ChatControl” proposal. With a shocking number of 537 Members of the European Parliament voting in favor, 133 voting against and 20 abstentions, it was approved. The proposal was put forward under the banner of “emergency measures” and it allows internet companies to scan users’ private messages for material containing child sex abuse. This controversial decision is supposed to fix problems with the European Electronics Communications Code, which came into force last December. The so called “e-Privacy Interim Regulation” (2020/0259(COD)) requires online messenger and email service providers to automatically scan private message content in real time for suspicious text and image content using error-prone artificial intelligence. All cases identified by AI would be automatically disclosed to investigative authorities in the EU, without the individuals concerned knowing about it. This is intended to counter the spread of child pornography on the internet, at least that is the story behind it. But the EU’s plans for ChatControl have beenconfirmed to violate fundamental rights by a former judge of the European Court of Justice. The delegation of the European Pirate Party inserted in the Greens / EFA group has strongly condemned what it considers automated mass surveillance, which as they say means the end of privacy in digital correspondence. German Pirate Party Member of the European Parliament Patrick Breyer plans to take legal action against the regulation and is looking for victims of abuse who would file such a complainant.

  • Dear President of the European Parliament, Dear President of The
    Dear President of the European Parliament, Dear President of the European Council, Dear President of the European Commission and Dear President of the French Republic, We all have a responsibility for the shared future of Europe. In this time of crisis, it is high time to re-evaluate some of the rules we have upheld till now and focus on the most important aspects of the European project, which will help us move forward. An unprecedented health crisis is currently affecting millions of people in Europe and tragically taking thousands of lives. However, this is not the end. The economic crisis will crush the hopes and dreams of generations of Europeans. We sincerely hope that we will all do whatever is in our power not to leave anyone behind. We firmly believe that the European Parliament needs to take on its responsibility and share the burden since it is the highest European directly elected body. We need to be part of the solution, not part of the problem. If we want the people to have confidence and trust in the European project, we need to show them that we are also ready to make concessions. Therefore, we would like to ask you to do everything in your power to change the treaties in order to have just a single seat of the Parliament in Brussels. This call has again gained a large majority of support in the 2018 Parliament discharge resolution adopted on 13 May 2020 and shall now be taken into account and acted upon. The financial and environmental costs of moving the Parliament are, especially in these times of digitally connected Europe, extremely high and hard to justify.

  • European Parliament Elections 2009 RESEARCH PAPER 09/53 17 June 2009
    European Parliament Elections 2009 RESEARCH PAPER 09/53 17 June 2009 Elections to the European Parliament were held across the 27 states of the European Union between 4 and 7 June 2009. The UK elections were held concurrently with the county council elections in England on 4 June. The UK now has 72 MEPs, down from 78 at the last election, distributed between 12 regions. The Conservatives won 25 seats, both UKIP and Labour 13 and the Liberal Democrats 11. The Green Party held their two seats, while the BNP won their first two seats in the European parliament. Labour lost five seats compared with the comparative pre-election position. The Conservatives won the popular vote overall, and every region in Great Britain except the North East, where Labour won, and Scotland, where the SNP won. UKIP won more votes than Labour. UK turnout was 34.5%. Across Europe, centre-right parties, whether in power or opposition, tended to perform better than those on the centre-left. The exact political balance of the new Parliament depends on the formation of Groups. The UK was not alone in seeing gains for far-right and nationalistic parties. Turnout across the EU was 43%. It was particularly low in some of the newer Member States. Part 1 of this paper presents the full results of the UK elections, including regional analysis and local-level data. Part 2 presents summary results of the results across the EU, together with country-level summaries based on data from official national sources.

  • Pirateparty Report PP-EU Conference Manchester
    pirateparty Report PP-EU Conference Manchester Stefan Thöni 3.12.2012 As an International Coordinator of the Pirate Party Switzerland I visited the PP-EU Conference in Manchester on December 1st and 2nd. As at the Barcelona conference there where many Pirate Parties present with their delegate, delegated to others or participated remotely. Very little progress was achieved in the negotiations towards the founda- tion of a European Pirate Party. Not only where none of the major points tackled but some progress achieved in Barcelona may have been undone. I have serious doubts as to whether a European Pirate Party can be founded before 2014 using this process. I also have my reservations about the ef- fectiveness of such a construct, once established. The same concerns have been voice by delegates from other pirate parties. Many thanks go to: • Jack Alnutt for the organization of the event, • The Pirate Party UK as gracious hosts.

The agenda was only known one day in advance. The disarray can be partly attributed Julia Reda, who was designated chairwoman, suddenly taking ill and not being able to join the con- ference. But mostly the problem arises from a lack of communication between the involved pirate parties.

    AIX-MARSEILLE UNIVERSITÉ INSTITUT D’ÉTUDES POLITIQUES D’AIX-EN-PROVENCE MÉMOIRE pour l’obtention du Diplôme HACKERS EN POLITIQUE Politisation du cyberespace et hacktivisme Par Madame Sophie ANDRIOL Mémoire réalisé sous la direction de Madame Stéphanie DECHEZELLES Année universitaire 2013-2014 L’IEP n’entend donner aucune approbation ou improbation aux opinions émises dans ce mémoire. Ces opinions doivent être considérées comme propres à leur auteur. MOTS CLEFS Hackers – Internet – Politique - Politisation Communauté – Mouvement social – Mobilisations Hacking – Hacktivisme – Activisme RÉSUMÉ Pirates des temps modernes ou corsaires du cyberespace ? Au-delà de l’anonymat cher aux hackers, ce travail de recherche sociologique a pour ambition de décrypter les modalités de leur entrée en politique. L’analyse des trajectoires individuelles des hackers et du spectre de leurs engagements permet de prendre la mesure de la politisation du mouvement et d’explorer ses modalités, du hacktivisme anonyme venant en aide aux populations des révolutions arabes, au militantisme partisan en Europe. Ainsi, au travers de l’étude des structures et des contextes qui portent le mouvement ou le condamnent, nous éclairons ici les dynamiques d’un processus de politisation qui ont fait d’un club de mordus de l’informatique d’une prestigieuse université américaine le mouvement protéiforme et engagé que l’on connaît aujourd'hui, sur la Toile comme dans les Parlements. REMERCIEMENTS J’adresse toute ma gratitude aux hackers et hackeuses qui ont m’ont généreusement accordé leur temps et leur confiance, et ont été une grande source d’inspiration. La réalisation de ce mémoire a dépendu de leur participation, et leur est donc dédiée.
