La Protección De La Intimidad Y Vida Privada En Internet La Integridad XIX Edición del Premio Protección de Datos Personales de Investigación de la Agencia Española de Protección de Datos PREMIO 2015 Las redes sociales se han convertido en una herramienta de comu- nicación y contacto habitual para millones de personas en todo el La protección de la intimidad mundo. De hecho, se calcula que más de un 75% de las personas Amaya Noain Sánchez que se conectan habitualmente a Internet cuentan con al menos un y vida privada en internet: la perfil en una red social. La autora plantea en el texto si las empre- sas propietarias de estos servicios ofrecen una información sufi- integridad contextual y los flujos de ciente a los usuarios sobre qué datos recogen, para qué los van a información en las redes sociales utilizar y si van a ser cedidos a terceros. En una reflexión posterior, propone como posibles soluciones el hecho de que estas empresas (2004-2014) pudieran implantar directrices técnicas compartidas y una adapta- ción normativa, fundamentalmente con la privacidad desde el di- seño, la privacidad por defecto y el consentimiento informado. Así, Amaya Noain Sánchez el resultado sería un sistema de información por capas, en el que el usuario fuera conociendo gradualmente las condiciones del trata- miento de su información personal. Este libro explica el funcionamiento de una red social, comenzan- do por la creación del perfil de usuario en el que se suministran datos, y analiza cómo la estructura del negocio está basada en la monetización de los datos personales, con sistemas como el targe- ting (catalogando al usuario según sus intereses, características y predilecciones) y el tracking down (cruzando información dentro y fuera de la red). La autora distingue entre intimidad y vida priva- da, introduciendo conceptos como TIC, Internet, sociedad de la información, web 2.0 y redes sociales, con la teoría de los seis gra- dos de separación y sus características, historia y orígenes. Plantea la evolución de la distinción entre espacio público y privado, y la relatividad de las teorías actuales, estudiando también la evolución del comportamiento de los usuarios y hasta qué punto pueden es- tos desarrollar estrategias de autoprotección. y los flujos de información en las redes sociales (2004-2014) y los flujos de información ISBN 978-84-340-2311-6 La protección de la intimidad y vida privada en internet: la integridad contextual en internet: la integridad contextual La protección de la intimidad y vida privada 9 7 8 8 4 3 4 0 2 3 1 1 6 LA PROTECCIÓN DE LA INTIMIDAD Y VIDA PRIVADA EN INTERNET: LA INTEGRIDAD CONTEXTUAL Y LOS FLUJOS DE INFORMACIÓN EN LAS REDES SOCIALES (2004-2014) LA PROTECCIÓN DE LA INTIMIDAD Y VIDA PRIVADA EN INTERNET: LA INTEGRIDAD CONTEXTUAL Y LOS FLUJOS DE INFORMACIÓN EN LAS REDES SOCIALES (2004-2014) AMAYA NOAIN SÁNCHEZ Premio Protección de Datos Personales de Investigación 2015 Agencia Española de Protección de Datos Agencia Estatal Boletín Oficial del Estado Madrid, 2016 Copyright ® 2016 Todos los derechos reservados.

  • About-Asana.Pdf
    About Asana Asana is a leading work management platform that helps teams orchestrate their work, from daily tasks to strategic initiatives. Asana ​adds structure to unstructured work, creating clarity, transparency and accountability to everyone within an organization—individuals, team leads and executives—so they understand exactly who is doing what, by when. Our co-founders started Asana because they experienced firsthand the growing problem of work about work, or internal coordination. Instead of spending time on work that generated results, they were spending time in status meetings and long email threads trying to figure out who was doing what. They recognized this pain was universal to teams that need to coordinate their work effectively to achieve their objectives. As a result of that frustration, they were inspired to create Asana to solve this problem for the world’s teams.

  • October 14 2010 the Facebook Story and the Future of the Social Web, Chris Hughes
    October 14 2010 The Facebook story and the future of the social web, Chris Hughes The social networking site Facebook may have been one of the biggest developments in business and society in recent years, but it was just a natural outgrowth of existing Internet trends, Facebook cofounder Chris Hughes said at the World Knowledge Forum Thursday. “It was a natural extension of what was required to enable everyday people to connect and share with their friends,” Hughes said. Hughes spoke to large audience on various aspects of social media, including the genesis of Facebook, the core values that allowed it to develop, his role in Barack Obama’s online campaign, his current ‘Jumo’ project and the future of social media in general. He said the creation of Facebook was not about magic or secrets. “The birth of any cultural phenomenon almost always comes with myth- making,” Hughes said, beginning his presentation by debunking some of preconceptions about the founding of Facebook. He debunked the image of Facebook as having been founded by a lone genius who turned an idea into a multi-billion-dollar operation. “I have news - it’s not true,” he said, explaining that Facebook was founded by himself, Mark Zuckerberg and Dustin Muskovitz in a spirit of scepticism of the control that Harvard and other institutions had over the control of information. He explained that authorities at Harvard, where he was a student, shut down two earlier attempts by Hughes and his partners to start social networking sites. So the partners decided to make Facebook more independent.

Naam student:............................................................................................................................ Samenvatting Deze masterproef focust op Facebook resistance, een fenomeen dat erg actueel is, maar in de academische literatuur amper aandacht geniet. Van Dijck’s classificatie van sociale media langsheen een technoculturele (gebruikers en gebruik, content, technologie) en socio-economische dimensie (beleid, eigenaarschap, business model), lijkt geschikt om het onderwerp in de juiste context te kaderen. Doorheen deze zes niveaus komen van Dijck’s concepten van ‘friending’ en ‘sharing’ veelvuldig aan bod. Deze ervoeren een verschuiving van ‘connectedness’ naar ‘connectivity’. Dit betekent een verregaande commercialisering en comodificatie

Stern School of Business New York University May 2019 Professor Marti G. Subrahmanyam Professor Michael Posner Faculty Adviser Thesis Adviser Acknowledgements While many people have contributed to this paper, I would like to especially thank three people: • I would like to thank Professor Michael Posner for his insights, editing guidance, and passion for the subject area of human rights—especially for pushing myself and the rest of my BPE classmates during Senior Capstone to think beyond the numbers. • I would like to thank Professor Marti Subrahmanyam and everyone at the NYU Stern Office of Student Engagement for organizing the program. • Lastly, I would like to thank my friend Jennifer, who was always there for me— especially during the (rare, but) turbulent times of creating this thesis. Disclosure • This paper specifically discusses regulations as they pertain to the US. • This thesis was researched and written concurrently for another course, also in partial fulfillment of my degree. As such, some portions of this paper may overlap with the mentioned paper, titled “BPE Senior Paper: Facebook’s Broken Data Privacy,” submitted 23 December 2018. Professor Michael Posner was my advisor for both papers; and Professor Marti Subrahmanyam, the faculty advisor, was aware of this concurrent research arrangement. ii Table of Contents Acknowledgements

  • Facebook Fake News in the Post -Truth World
    9-717-473 REV: SEPTEMBER 14, 2 0 1 7 JOHN R. WELLS CAROLE A. WINKLER Facebook Fake News in the Post -Truth World Our mission is to make the world more open and connected. — Mark Zuckerberg1 Introduction In January 2017, Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of Facebook was surrounded by controversy. The election of Donald Trump as the next President of the United States on November 8, 2016 had triggered a national storm of protests, and many put the blame at the door of fake news stories served up on Facebook’s Trending News Feed.2 Facebook had launched the service in January 2014 to deliver news stories that might be of interest to Facebook users, in addition to the automatic News Feed that told them what was going on in their social network. Individuals could select items that they were interested in, but an algorithm served up news items that might appeal based on past reading habits and those of their close friends.3 The argument against Facebook was that this process polarized public opinion, fueled prejudices and encouraged the bitter partisan character of the election campaign.4 Some claimed that fake news, propagated through News Feed, supported the rise of anti-establishment sentiments amongst groups that felt left behind by the establishment elite.5 Zuckerberg was unapologetic. On November 10, 2016 he had commented, “Personally I think the idea that fake news on Facebook, which is a very small amount of the content, influenced the election in any way — I think is a pretty crazy idea.”6 He argued that fake stories were posted on both sides of the political spectrum.
