“De opkomst van de slimme deurbel: heel handig voor de politie, maar niet voor je privacy”
Ze zijn handig voor bewoners en ook de politie mag graag gebruik maken van de beelden die cameradeurbellen allemaal vastleggen. Kritiek is er ook: de privacy zou eronder leiden en het is onduidelijk of de deurbelfabrikanten niet mee kan kijken. “Of het de veiligheid echt vergroot, daar is heel weinig bewijs voor.” Zie item op… Continue reading “De opkomst van de slimme deurbel: heel handig voor de politie, maar niet voor je privacy”

abstract = {This contribution on the TCA digital trade chapter unpacks the regulatory context, provides a commentary of the substantive provisions, and offers a comparative analysis of the TCA digital trade chapter with other trade deals of the EU and of other key players. One of the key issues of the EU-UK negotiations had been calibrating the interplay between the commitments on cross-border data flows and the protection of
personal data and privacy, which merits a special focus in this contribution. It is here that the TCA digital trade chapter signifies an interesting new modification of the EU external trade strategy at the interface between trade and privacy, with potentially important consequences for both the EU and the UK. The contribution concludes with an appraisal and an outlook.},

abstract = {Empowering people with digital tools has been an enduring ideal throughout the history of computing. In some of the earlier visions, this was not only a matter of making life easier, it was also a matter of people gaining control over their digital tools. One solution to this problem which has been suggested is to provide users with a manual override to gain full control over a device, something called gaining \'root\' - hence the \'Right to Root\'. Yet, there are no policymakers who have seriously treated this as a possibility. For people pushing this right at a policy level, it would therefore be helpful to know whether this Right to Root can be constructed from human rights. In this article, I explore the European human rights-based arguments for a Right to Root, focusing on the right to privacy under the European Convention for Human Rights and the Charter of Fundamental Rights. I first discuss the origins of this ideal of gaining control over your own devices. I then show how users over the years have gained less control and how the RIght to Root could enable them to regain control. I then explore how the Right to Root could be constructed from the right to privacy under the Convention and the Charter, by understanding it as a way to protect the values of autonomy, self-determination and seclusion. I conclude that a Right to Root can be grounded in the human right to privacy, but that further research is necessary to balance it with other interests, such as cybersecurity, traffic safety, health and intellectual property.},
