Small journey between Technology and Constitution

Small journey between Technology and Constitution

If our Constitution and the European ones are valid, how is it possible that current technology is commercialized?

Breathe deeply and close your eyes eyes…hold for 5 seconds…turn, open your eyes and read.

I offer you a different point of view for look at and analyze the technology we are all using: you take my hand and let yourself be guided along this journey with the absolute freedom to leave it when you want and share or not what you want I will show during this short trip, but I invite you to go all the way in the end because many dots will be united and the image that will come outside may surprise you.

The meaning of words is what more effective we can use to define and delineate it development of technology in the last 25 years.

Let's start with the adjectives and the words.

At the end of the last millennium yes they used PERSONAL Computers.

All data generated and resident on a car were PERSONAL to avoid conscious sharing or a targeted attack by a cracker interested in taking over illegally of this data.

Then in the early years of this millennium we have switched to using SMART technology intimately linked to CLOUD.

In “smart” technology l’ hw infrastructure skilfully mixed with the "opportune" sw, has made the concept of personal data evanescent, transferring it to a someone else's computer ( often and willingly those who build the hw and/or owns the operating system ).

The continuous transfer ed unlimited number of digital tracks dell’ user takes place in server that for “picturesque” reasons they are called “clouds” …but they are simply the very PERSONAL computers of third parties who don't even we know, but who defend tooth and nail what they “reap”, from other operators… unless they do data brokerage: then change the music.

A mass exchange apparently indistinct data …. than if they really were, they wouldn't be paid and interest by the’ buyer.

They become bargaining chips when crossing these indistinct and apparently "anonymized" masses or “pseudonymised” data, with unique elements, it is able to recognize the single user in hundreds of millions and billions of digital traces.

These “data lakes” are like a huge plate of spaghetti: seemingly impossible to identify L’ beginning and end of each strand ( which speaks of a like on a text or multimedia content, of a sarcastic comment, of a intimate sms, of a photo, of a video, of a voice message, of a search on the Internet, of a place reached thanks to the gps ), but with the right technology even this “magic” is possible.

Billions of digital tracks generated by all of us users who are constantly registered, stored and transferred daily to central servers ( clouds) For undergo machining processes can identify those unique markers that refer them exactly to each of us.

And of course the "novated" data ( derived from independent and seemingly fragmented personal data of’ user, but then cleverly crossed ) can't even be more claimed and protected: a “gone” data is for Always, to the detriment of what the GDPR establishes!

What am I talking about?

Cross-profiling: a technique capable of reconstructing a book from small and fine fragments torn, crumpled and shredded of all pages.

Who benefits? ( others would write Cui Prodest ? )

All that can be measured, yes you can reproduce.

All phenomena, understood as sensitive expression of entities capable of leaving traces e change the environment in which they interact, they can be not alone studied and reproduced, but also predicted.

We are phenomena and the data we are "sucked in" by smart technology can easily be used to predict everything we will do.

From product purchase desires and/or services, in the state of health, to political ideas, tastes sexual, sensitivity and everything that makes us unique in one virtually infinite plethora of other “phenomena”.

Who has this great power, has the granular control of a very complex reality, but equally predictable depending on the variables that you are able to measure and insert in a forecast calculation matrix that anticipate the future.( alias l’ Artificial intelligence )

This power is in the hands of companies that they are feeding our digital twins with data constantly fresh and unique, in grand defiance of generated laws and regulations as a historical result of the battle between good and evil, wars and massive bloodshed.

Freedom has always had a price and always will.

And the ultimate luxury that you are configuring, is the ability to pay for it .

We are so immersed in an ecosystem "smart" linked to the "cloud" than to regain a right FUNDAMENTAL like the RIGHT to CONFIDENTIALITY which is a pillar of PEACE and DEMOCRATIC coexistence, we only risk aspire to DREAM a different world, because in reality rendered unfeasible.

But looking into our children's eyes and our daughters, worth missing one last train to get back to be freer and in a better world ? … came the moment that can no longer be postponed to open your eyes and start think and implement a FAIR TECHNOLOGY.

The laws and regulations that come constantly broken are not limited to the GDPR and the latest European legal creations such as the DMA ( https://commission.europa.eu/strategy-and-policy/priorities-2019-2024/europe-fit-digital-age/digital-markets-act-ensuring-fair-and-open-digital-markets_en ) and the DSA( https://commission.europa.eu/strategy-and-policy/priorities-2019-2024/europe-fit-digital-age/digital-services-act-ensuring-safe-and-accountable-online-environment_en ) .

The technology engineered for collect any digital trace of individual users and any entity is able to produce data and be measured ( animals, plant and natural phenomena simple and complex ) And compatible with the Constitution ?

I start with what happens on the “smartphones” : micro computers that are anything but personal, that there we carry around constantly between the trouser pocket or the purse and the palm of the hand, that in unsuspecting times, knowing the technical characteristics, they would have been termed BEDBUGS.

Starting from our little and beautiful Italy, I quote two articles of our CONSTITUTION ( https://www.senato.it/istituzione/la-costituzione ) .

Art. 15

Freedom and privacy of correspondence and any other form of communication are inviolable.

Their limitation can take place only by reasoned act of the judicial authority

with the guarantees established by law

And I continue towards the new frontier for high-quality data collection thanks to “Smart speakers” ( And spy company : smart TV, smart refrigerator, Smart hoover, Smart alarm ecc ecc ).

You who read what you would answer to this question: where the most valuable data is generated? …

Where are we ourselves! In the heart of refuge where we keep the things we care about and where we live with who is dearer to us : CASA.

Art. 14

The domicile is inviolable.

No inspections can be performed or searches or seizures except in the cases and ways established by the law according to the guarantees prescribed for the protection of liberty personal.

The checks and inspections for reasons of health and public safety or for purposes

economic and fiscal are regulated by special laws.

At home, everyone longs for privacy.

A sacred space where the walls define an EXCLUSIVE perimeter.

Where there are doors and windows with curtains.

Where we always talk about ourselves in a regime of supposed and desirable confidentiality.

And here the microphones of the “SMART Speaker” and “Smart COSI” equipped with capable “Smart Assistant”. to transcribe our conversations and take the "measurements" of all our habits. ( “Always on” microphones paired with CLOUD infrastructure with STT Speech To Text, Semantic analysis and intent extrapolation, e TTS Text To Speech ) .

Even a space is not exempt “dynamic” that WAS reserved and private, like the car.

Today producers are competing to see who stuffs the four wheels with sensors that measure anything and everything more : not just all the parameters of the car, but the location, there history of movements and with the "very comfortable" voice commands , even the conversations that take place in the passenger compartment!

That there are sensors in cars in itself it is not a bad thing if functional to safety, to performance and reliability, but that these "work" to complete cross-profiling and resale of ai data data broker for the creation of nova data functional to the usual digital twins is not exactly the “best” !

Among other things, the most aberrant thing is e dangerous that has infested cars is the presence of screens on the dashboard, madness to think that when driving yes should look at the road and that's enough also because the analog controls they are always in the same places and the memory works by zones three-dimensional reconstructed in the brain that allow us to find a button even without having to look, while the beautiful screens multi-functions and with variable screens need to interaction….but then we interact or drive?!

But even this "problem" seems be escaped who must watch over the compatibility of certain technologies with road safety.

Returning to the constitutional principles, The knot comes home to roost even if we go to read the Constitution European Union and specifically the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union https://www.europarl.europa.eu/charter/pdf/text_it.pdf

Gli Article II-7 Respect for private and family life ( https://fra.europa.eu/en/eu-charter/article/7-respect-private-and-family-life )

“Everyone has the right to respect for his or her private and family life, home and communications. “

Article II-8 Protection of personal data ( https://fra.europa.eu/en/eu-charter/article/8-protection-personal-data

“1. Everyone has the right to the protection of personal data concerning him or her.
2. Such data must be processed fairly for specified purposes and on the basis of the consent of the person concerned or some other legitimate basis laid down by law. Everyone has the right of access to data which has been collected concerning him or her, and the right to have it rectified.
3. Compliance with these rules shall be subject to control by an independent authority. “

they reaffirm what is already enshrined in Italy.

….and then what happened?

Who was supposed to watch, he did not

Who was to prevent this technology engineered to spy did not.

Who was supposed to protect us and protect i our sacred rights, he did not.

Politics has dynamics apparently little known, but just re-read the story and many things will turn out more clear to everyone….

We must be grateful to the Americans for freeing us from totalitarianism and aberrant dictatorships of the last century.

But now we cannot become silent and accommodating valvassors, with the certainty of transforming we, our children and our nations, in conquered territory colonial losing everything that has been conquered in centuries and millennia passed by those who preceded us even sacrificing themselves same/o, giving us the heart of western culture and value most precious and sacrosanct of Liberty, of Peace and Processes Democrats. ( Among other things, all shared and sought-after values ​​too by individual American citizens.)

Continue to close eyes, ears and nose, for handfuls of shiny mirrors, is no longer sustainable.

E’ The time has come to rethink the root l’ technological innovation BEYOND the paradigms imposed by those who have planned with the "unjustified distraction" mixed with inexplicable endorsements of European politicians, a one-way development oriented towards unlimited control over everything and everyone.

And not to be anachronistic, respect, protect and defend the Privacy means, changed changing, celebrate and SHARE a TRUE data economy, widespread and accessible to ALL and in which the added value is that comes from a CONSCIOUS exchange, CONSCIOUS and DELIBERATE of OWN Given DIRECTLY, is perceived and enjoyed by whom the given produces it, namely each of us, each company, each institution, each legitimately recognized and sovereign state.

Only a digital economy of all and for all it can guarantee progress, best conditions, democracy and peace.

History already has us extensively shown and demonstrated what happens when the concentration of powers becomes unsustainable.

We don't want new wars… because it's at least superficial and naive, think of a bland, slow ed inexorable fall of European values, without anyone there ready to pay for freedom.

Before passing dangerous points of sleep is necessary, rethink technology concept foundation of LOYALTY’ and TRANSPARENCY e …open your eyes and exhale.

PS.

The points proposed and mentioned if I wanted to merge them, they draw a map for the discovery of a world alternative, different and above all new based on a Technology Loyal that orchestrates hw and sw to protect, defend and respect the user privacy and allowing only when you want and you are aware, to be able to participate in’ data economy by monetizing your data directly.
