Reflections upon ‘The Privacy Fallacy’ by Ignacio Cofone | Riflessioni su “The Privacy Fallacy” di Ignacio Cofone
Full text linkThe author offers some comments to ‘The Privacy Fallacy’ by Ignacio Cofone in connection with a selection of EU law mandatory provisions countering behavioural distortion and addresses the issue of privacy consent evidencing, on one side, the interest of online users in personalised information, including targeted advertisement, and, on the other side, the possibility to maintain that any privacy consent given for a processing activity that is either directly or indirectly prohibited by mandatory provisions of Union or national law shall be deemed invalid pursuant to article 5(1)(b) GDPR, remarking that this interpretation of the GDPR helps in overcoming a procedural interpretation of the controller’s accountability principle, rightly criticised by Ignacio Cofone in his book.L'autore offre alcune osservazioni su “The Privacy Fallacy” di Ignacio Cofone in relazione a una selezione di disposizioni imperative del diritto dell'Unione europea volte a contrastare la distorsione comportamentale e affronta la questione del consenso privacy, evidenziando, da un lato, l'interesse degli utenti online a ricevere informazioni personalizzate, compresa la pubblicità mirata, e, dall'altro, la possibilità di sostenere che qualsiasi consenso privacy fornito per un'attività di trattamento direttamente o indirettamente vietata da disposizioni imperative del diritto dell'Unione o nazionale sia da considerarsi invalido ai sensi dell'articolo 5, par. 1, lett. b), GDPR, sottolineando che questa interpretazione del GDPR contribuisce a superare un'interpretazione procedurale del principio di responsabilità del titolare del trattamento, giustamente criticata da Ignacio Cofone nel suo libro.The author offers some comments to ‘The Privacy Fallacy’ by Ignacio Cofone in connection with a selection of EU law mandatory provisions countering behavioural distortion and addresses the issue of privacy consent evidencing, on one side, the interest of online users in personalised information, including targeted advertisement, and, on the other side, the possibility to maintain that any privacy consent given for a processing activity that is either directly or indirectly prohibited by mandatory provisions of Union or national law shall be deemed invalid pursuant to article 5(1)(b) GDPR, remarking that this interpretation of the GDPR helps in overcoming a procedural interpretation of the controller’s accountability principle, rightly criticised by Ignacio Cofone in his book.L'autore offre alcune osservazioni su “The Privacy Fallacy” di Ignacio Cofone in relazione a una selezione di disposizioni imperative del diritto dell'Unione europea volte a contrastare la distorsione comportamentale e affronta la questione del consenso privacy, evidenziando, da un lato, l'interesse degli utenti online a ricevere informazioni personalizzate, compresa la pubblicità mirata, e, dall'altro, la possibilità di sostenere che qualsiasi consenso privacy fornito per un'attività di trattamento direttamente o indirettamente vietata da disposizioni imperative del diritto dell'Unione o nazionale sia da considerarsi invalido ai sensi dell'articolo 5, par. 1, lett. b), GDPR, sottolineando che questa interpretazione del GDPR contribuisce a superare un'interpretazione procedurale del principio di responsabilità del titolare del trattamento, giustamente criticata da Ignacio Cofone nel suo libro
\u3ci\u3eThe Privacy Fallacy: Harm and Power in the Information Economy\u3c/i\u3e by Ignacio Cofone
Full text link‘‘Our privacy is besieged by tech companies,”1 laments Ignacio Cofone, Law Professor and privacy aficionado, in The Privacy Fallacy: Harm and Power in the Information Economy. In an enlightening yet harrowing discourse, Cofone draws on insights from behavioural science, sociology, and economics2 to argue that the widespread consent-based model of privacy is not only outdated, but untenable given modern data practices.3 Further, Cofone acknowledges the increasing use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in data processing, leading to novel challenges for the safeguarding of personal information.4 Thus, The Privacy Fallacy is more than just about privacy law’s shortcomings; it also raises questions about privacy in a world of rapidly evolving data practices stemming from advancements in AI. This book review builds on the discussion of AI in The Privacy Fallacy, drawing on Cofone’s insights as well contemporary AI scholarship, to advance two foundational arguments about navigating the artificially intelligent world of the near future
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Servers and Waiters: What Matters in the Law of A.I.
No full textThe European Parliament’s recent declaration that robots are “electronic persons” illustrates the widespread uncertainty about how to regulate robots and artificial intelligence (A.I.) agents. This article aims to confront that uncertainty. To date, most regulations have treated robots and A.I. agents either as tools or people, making questionable assignments of rights and responsibilities. Instead, regulations should reckon that robots and A.I. agents escape this dichotomy. The law must assign rights and responsibilities for entities with characteristics that exist on a continuum between tools and people. This article describes this continuum through three characteristics that help us consistently place robots and A.I. agents along it: emergence, embodiment, and social valence. It proposes a framework for analogizing A.I. entities to existing entities that the law already understands, thereby creating a baseline for assigning rights and responsibilities for their actions
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
