EU may limit US 'anti-terrorism' finance tracking
,----[ Quote ]
| The transfer of financial data from Europe
| to the US 'to fight terrorism' may be
| unjustified, according to EU Information
| Society Commissioner Viviane Reding.
|
| In a speech marking Data Protection Day,
| she said that the amount of financial data
| being transferred to the US had
| 'considerable privacy-invading potential'.

The software side of SWIFT financial crime monitoring
,----[ Quote ]
| Let me contribute some open source
| intelligence on the SWIFT case. One of the
| leading SWIFT related software solutions
| providers is the German company Tonbeller
| AG. As we can see the company is
| specialised on business intelligence, risk
| analysis and financial profiling solutions.
| SWIFT itself seems to be their client or
| certification agency, here is the Partner
| profile from SWIFT.

EU Keeping an Eye on Financial Data Sent to U.S. via SWIFT
,----[ Quote ]
| Reding also urged greater privacy controls
| on behavioral advertising because "[u]sers
| are not always aware that they are being
| tracked whenever browsing the Internet." In
| her view, data gathered without the users'
| informed prior consent should not be used.

EFF Reveals How Your Digital Fingerprint Makes You Easy to Track
,----[ Quote ]
| Think that turning off cookies and turning
| on private browsing makes you invisible on
| the web? Think again.
|
| The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF)
| has launched a new web app dubbed
| Panopticlick that reveals just how scarily
| easy it is to identify you out of millions
| of web users.
|
| [...]
|
| The purpose of Panopticlick is to show you
| how much you have in common with other
| browsers. The more your configuration
| mirrors everyone elseâs, the harder it
| would be to identify you. The irony is, the
| nerdier you are â using a unique OS, a less
| common browser, customizing your browser
| with plug-ins and other power-user habits â
| the more identifiable you are.

"European Open source developers needs brains and gains" says European
Commissioner Reding
,----[ Quote ]
| The problem is those kind of numbers is that they seems to be calculated in
| function of software vendors, which represents only 15% of the whole software
| industry. The other large part of the industry is pure services. And this
| does not seems to be taken in account. Does Mrs Commissioner Reding have the
| wrong numbers? Or she does not know the european software industry?
