Download Yearbook To the ADC community, 2020 was undoubtedly one of the most challenging years we have had as an organization. The COVID-19 pandemic and its implications required major personal and institutional efforts to continue in our mission of promoting and defending civil rights and strengthening democracy. This collective effort of our staff (including those joining this year) and of our numerous collaborators implied bringing into play many of our skills to the maximum, such as patience, understanding, creativity, insight, and perseverance. In this way, we were able to sustain our internal work dynamics, which in turn allowed us to identify and adjust our strategy to the new requirements posed by the sudden change of context. The present timeline will allow readers to learn about the various reports and papers we have published; the different advocacy actions carried out and the new tools we developed; the various domestic, regional, and international instances in which we interacted, and the bonds we created. Amidst – and in spite of – all this activity, we also made time to celebrate ADC’s 25th anniversary. What better acknowledgment to an organization’s record and maturity than its own capability to stand up to a challenge such as the one posed during 2020? We conclude this introduction with a warm THANK YOU to each member of our staff, collaborators, members of the Executive Board, the Audit Committee, and the Academic Council, for their unwavering commitment to the mission, vision and values of the Asociación por los Derechos Civiles. A big THANK YOU, as well, to our sponsors and donors who, despite being affected by the consequences of the pandemic like everyone else, have also managed to continue supporting ADC.

  • The Privacy Jungle: on the Market for Data Protection in Social Networks
    The Privacy Jungle: On the Market for Data Protection in Social Networks Joseph Bonneau Sören Preibusch Computer Laboratory Computer Laboratory University of Cambridge University of Cambridge [email protected] [email protected] Abstract We have conducted the first thorough analysis of the market for privacy practices and policies in online social networks. From an evaluation of 45 social networking sites using 260 criteria we find that many popular assumptions regarding privacy and social networking need to be revisited when considering the entire ecosystem instead of only a handful of well-known sites. Contrary to the common perception of an oligopolistic market, we find evidence of vigorous competition for new users. Despite observing many poor security practices, there is evidence that social network providers are making efforts to implement privacy enhancing technologies with substantial diversity in the amount of privacy control offered. However, privacy is rarely used as a selling point, even then only as auxiliary, non-decisive feature. Sites also failed to promote their existing privacy controls within the site. We similarly found great diversity in the length and content of formal privacy policies, but found an opposite promotional trend: though almost all policies are not accessible to ordinary users due to obfuscating legal jargon, they conspicuously vaunt the sites’ privacy practices. We conclude that the market for privacy in social networks is dysfunctional in that there is significant variation in sites’ privacy controls, data collection requirements, and legal privacy policies, but this is not effectively conveyed to users. Our empirical findings motivate us to introduce the novel model of a privacy communication game, where the economically rational choice for a site operator is to make privacy control available to evade criticism from privacy fundamentalists, while hiding the privacy control interface and privacy policy to maximise sign-up numbers and encourage data sharing from the pragmatic majority of users.

  • Guidelines to Holding an On-Campus Event
    Guidelines to Holding an On-Campus Event IF HOLDING YOUR EVENT AT MILLERSVILLE UNIVERSITY The Millersville area offers a variety of banquet and event locations to host your reunion. You can also look into campus banquet, ballroom, and meeting spaces, such as the Student Memorial Center. Lastly, the Office of Alumni Engagement can help you find meeting rooms and reception areas across campus to hold your event. A staff member of the Office of Alumni Engagement will be assigned to assist you and work with your committee in organizing your reunion or event on campus. How to Get Started • Develop a Diverse Committee and Event A diverse reunion planning committee will guarantee a variety of ideas and encourage a successful grassroots outreach campaign. Be diverse when planning your event activities—consider all ages and interests. • Use Volunteers Volunteers are important at all stages of the planning process, especially the day of the event. Identify and utilize your volunteers by delegating tasks and supporting feedback and ideas. • Identify Your Target Audience The Office of Alumni Engagement has a comprehensive database and can assist in identifying and reaching your target audience, according to criteria such as age, degree, graduation year, and select on- campus involvement (i.e. former Marauder Marching Band member). Deceased alumni can also be identified—if you wish to contact a family member of a deceased alumnus, you can work with the Office of Alumni Engagement. • Discuss and Confirm Logistics Consider the following logistical questions when planning your event: 1. Is parking available? 2. Is there access for persons with disabilities? 3.

  • A Race to the Bottom – Privacy Ranking of Internet Service Companies
    A Race to the Bottom – Privacy Ranking of Internet Service Companies Archived report by Privacy International June 2007 A Race to the Bottom – Privacy Ranking of Internet Service Companies Table of contents A Consultation report 4 About Privacy International 5 Why have we undertaken this study? 6 Background 7 A consultation report 8 Which companies? 9 Methodology 11 Analysis 14 Why Google? 15 Why not Microsoft? 17 Key findings 18 3/18 A Race to the Bottom – Privacy Ranking of Internet Service Companies A consultation report This report has been prepared by Privacy International following a six-month investigation into the privacy practices of key Internet based companies. The ranking lists the best and the worst performers both in Web 1.0 and Web 2.0 across the full spectrum of search, email, e-commerce and social networking sites. The analysis employs a methodology comprising around twenty core parameters. We rank the major Internet players but we also discuss examples of best and worst privacy practice among smaller companies. The report was compiled using data derived from public sources (newspaper articles, blog entries, submissions to government inquiries, privacy policies etc), information provided by present and former company staff, technical analysis and interviews with company representatives. Because the 2007 rankings are a precedent, Privacy International will regard the current report as a consultation report and will establish a broad outreach for two months to ensure that any new and relevant information is taken into account before publishing a full report in September. Interim results are available here in PDF format: Interim Rankings 4/18 A Race to the Bottom – Privacy Ranking of Internet Service Companies About Privacy International Privacy International (PI) was established in 1990 as a human rights research and campaign organization.
