The Internet

 Discover how you are traced on Internet and leave to the conquest of your numerical freedom!  Cnil (National Committee of Computer science and of Freedom) updated its rubric ' Your traces ', which aims at introducing  some some of the techniques implemented by the different actors of worldwide network, with the intention of learning from it always more on you and on your habits  . This one is classified in four cookies rubrics, historiquedu navigator, computer and .

The fairing is used as much by the research engines as by the sites of online trade. However, according to Cnil, it is to link to unwarranted nature. There it is so possible to read:

The unwarranted nature of the web hides another less visible reality: that of a discreet and active surveillance, of a fairing always more competitive and directed. To finance, services web take advantage of a number growing by information coming from your navigation, from your location, or else from your researches. And this collection of information is often made in your insu!

Twice in some weeks, it is a lot.

It is even too much when it is a question of naming as a reference the measures of censure on Internet applied by China.

It could make slowly have fun when DEPUTY UMP JACQUES MYARD declared to want to nationalise Internet. Chinese made it he argued then, while explaining that with a battery of very powerful computers it should be well possible to make the similar and to protect themselves from the "control" of the United States on networks.

When two weeks later, in New York Times, Bono names China in its turn in example, they do not smile any more. One if inqui te. A decade of distribution and of flight of musical files showed in obviousness that those who suffer from it are the artists written, December 2nd of this year, the singer of U2, but especially today businessman, creator of the bottom of investment Elevation Partners which notably keeps the economic magazine Forbesv. Leaving this official report, he sees only a solution to check it: watch contents on networks. We know by the noble effort of America to stop the p do-pornography, without speaking about the vile effort of China to suppress online dissidence, that it is perfectly possible to follow contents .

From no point of view, take as the model of China, qualified as  enemy of Internet  by Reporters Without Borders for its  "leading role" in suppression on Internet (censure, surveillance, blockage, imprisonment, etc.), am defensible.

Recently we recalled the fears of Seth Schoen de l' EFF (Electronic Frontier Fondation) as for the sliding of the democratic countries towards Chinese practices in control and surveillance of Internet. If you look at main international practices in this domain [the control of Internet], you will see that China is fundamentally in accordance with international norm  . explained in 2006, Liu Zhengrong, a Chinese official charges with it of Internet, in New York Times.  Main objectives and modalities of application of our laws are principally the same  . And Seth Schoen to get worried that he could soon be right with regard to restrictions on Internet applied or wished, recently, by group of democratic countries.

Bono tries unsuccessfully to use the "vile" qualifier, reference is there. Dangerous. And unacceptable.

A stand in the columns of Bono's New York Times, between others leader of the group U2, provoked some reactions this weekend. In the edition of January 2nd of the American daily, he introduces the list of his ten wishes for coming ten years. According to him, this last decade, music distribution hurt the creators, notably the young songwriters, but it is possible to stop it by watching networks more. He follows so:

It is of benefit to the Internet providers, the filled benefits of which reflect perfectly the loss of recipes of musical industry. We are as a post Офис, do they say to us, who knows what there is in the brown paper packets? But we know by the noble effort of America to stop the p do-pornography, without speaking about the vile effort of China to suppress online dissidence, that it is perfectly possible to follow contents.

Are we sliding, slow but sure, towards practices of control and of surveillance of Internet done clos to those of China? They do not speak here about nationalisation in Jacques Myard, but of these laws which for some years flourish in the democratic countries and strive towards a control always bigger on the access to contents. It is what fears EFF (Electronic Frontier Fondation) in an article calling to the struggle against censure in Australia. Summary.

In 2006, New York Times explained that the People's Republic of China defended its censure and its practices of surveillance on Internet by maintaining that they very did not differ from those used by the United States and of the European countries.

 If you look at main international practices in this domain, you will see that China is fundamentally in accordance with international norm  Liu Zhengrong, Chinese official in load of Internet explained.  Main objectives and modalities of application of our laws are principally the same  []  it is clear that the lawful authorities of any country watch nearly the broadcasting of illicit information. We noted that the United States do good job on this forehead. 

The Times noted several difference between restrictions of Internet in China and in liberal democracies. But researchers showed us that the governments of the whole world, including in Australia, seem eager to erode this difference. The claims of not democratic regimes consisting in saying that the censure of Internet and the national firebreakss are a generalised international norm could soon ring less hollow.
