Title:
Après nous, le déluge: A Quest for Platform Accountability
Speaker: Johanne Kübler
Abstract:
Large online platform’s influence and ubiquity are increasingly questioned. Recently Whistleblower Frances Haugen told the US Congress how Facebook harms children, sows division and undermines democracy in pursuit of growth and profit. Independent research has backed up these claims, for example, when a study I co-authored found that there were significant amounts of problematic election-related content both on Facebook and Twitter during the run-up to the German federal elections. So what can be done about it? In my talk I will briefly discuss evidence of harm done by social media to then examine possible solutions. How does the proposed Digital Services Act at EU-level increase accountability of large online platforms? How could it be improved?
Biography:
Johanne Kübler is a researcher with expertise on digital politics, online activism, technology policy and human rights. Her current projects concentrate on content governance and accountability of social media platforms. She holds a PhD in Political and Social Sciences from the European University Institute in Florence, Italy and a Master degree in Comparative Politics from Sciences Po Paris. Her previous work experience includes positions in academia, academic consultancy and in the non-governmental sector with a focus on human rights.

Dear all,
We are excited to invite you to our online event on 13.10.2021 in which together with Max Schrems, Alan Toner and Gerben we will introduce you to Advanced Data Protection Control (ADPC).
Advanced Data Protection Control (ADPC) is a proposed automated mechanism for communicating users’ privacy decisions. It aims to empower users to protect their online choices in a human-centric, easy and enforceable manner. ADPC also supports online publishers and service providers to comply with data protection and consumer protection regulations. In this event, we introduce ADPC from both technical and socio-legal perspectives and discuss different challenges ahead. ADPC is co-developed by the Sustainable Computing Lab (WU Wien) and NOYB as a part of our joint project RESPECTeD funded by netidee.
When?
13.10.2021; 15:30–18:00 CEST

Title:
Privacy Preference Signals: Past, Present and Future
Speaker:
Daniel Woods, University of Innsbruck
When?
Friday, 8. October 2021; 12:00 CEST
Online event via Zoom:
https://wu-ac-at.zoom.us/j/94811049273?pwd=djhJMTJYOUR5REZJaHZ2RXQyVExndz09
Meeting ID: 948 1104 9273
Passcode: 561188
Abstract:
Privacy preference signals are digital representations of how users want their personal data to be processed. Such signals must be adopted by both the sender (users) and intended recipients (data processors). Adoption represents a coordination problem that remains unsolved despite efforts dating back to the 1990s. Browsers implemented standards like the Platform for Privacy Preferences (P3P) and Do Not Track (DNT), but vendors profiting from personal data faced few incentives to receive and respect the expressed wishes of data subjects. In the wake of recent privacy laws, a coalition of AdTech firms published the Transparency and Consent Framework (TCF), which defines an opt-in consent signal. This talk integrates post-GDPR developments into the wider history of privacy preference signals. The story is illustrated with a number of web measurements.
Biography:
Daniel Woods is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Innsbruck. His research explores the incentive and information structures that determine how organisations make decisions about cybersecurity and privacy. He received his PhD from the Department of Computer Science at the University of Oxford. Website: https://www.danielwoods.info

Title:
Smart Bulbs and Privacy: Lost in the Smart Jungle
Speaker:
Vincent Roca
French Institute for Research in Computer Science and Automation (Inria)
Collaborators: Mathieu Thiery, Michael Toth, Vincent Roca, Arnaud Legout (Inria)
When?
Friday, 1. October 2021; 12:00 CEST
Online event via Zoom:
https://wu-ac-at.zoom.us/j/94811049273?pwd=djhJMTJYOUR5REZJaHZ2RXQyVExndz09
Meeting ID: 948 1104 9273
Passcode: 561188
Abstract:
In the current Internet of Things (IoT) era, smart homes are getting increasingly equipped with connected devices, with privacy implications that largely remain unknown to the end-user. In this talk, we focus on three representative and popular smart bulbs, manufactured by Philips, IKEA and LIFX. We analyze the privacy implications of various techniques to control these bulbs—i.e., switching them ON and OFF—, using various smartphone applications, smart speakers and smart buttons. We show that these techniques determine the remote actors concerned (who are aware of what is going on) and the volume of data sent to the Internet (we measured major differences), and we observe that data often leave the user's house and country (even though the user is at home). Finally, by analyzing the Privacy Policies we highlight that, in most cases, the end-user cannot reasonably understand the situation. The whole situation is neither respectful of the user's privacy, nor legal (no user consent), nor sovereign (it creates dependencies on foreign actors). For these reasons, we call for different architectures that would favor local communications and data minimization, with the additional benefit of significantly reducing the ecological footprint.
Bio:
After a PhD from Grenoble INP in 1996, Vincent Roca joins the University Paris 6 as Associate Professor in 1997, and Inria as researcher in 2000. Specialised in networking, author of fourteen Internet standards (RFCs), since 2017 he is co-chair of an IETF research group, the organisation in charge of Internet standardisation. Member of PRIVATICS since 2012, he is now leading this Inria research team specialised in privacy and personal data protection. He focusses in particular on the privacy risks associated to the use of smartphones and Internet of Things devices. He is also co-author, with PRIVATICS colleagues, of the ROBERT and CLÉA protocols that are the foundations of the contact and presence tracing features of the French official TousAntiCovid app.
