Ogni volta che ripasso dal trovo letture e spunti interessanti nella timeline.

In questi giorni assorbe tutto il mio tempo libero (e mi sottrae anche molte ore di sonno) quindi non riesco ad interagire come prima.

Ma vi leggo tutti! 🤓

Non sono sparito...

4 giugno 1989 - Piazza #Tienanmen #Cina
IL RIVOLTOSO SCONOSCIUTO
E’ noto come il Rivoltoso Sconosciuto, the Unknown Rebel, Tank Man: il 5 giugno 1989 un ragazzo cinese durante la protesta di piazza Tienanmen a #Pechino si posizionò davanti a dei carri armati per fermarli, solo. Il giovane divenne così famoso in tutto il mondo: nell’aprile del 1998, il Time lo ha incluso nella lista delle persone che più hanno influenzato il XX secolo.

```
There are two orthogonal forces at work in the Squeak team [...] the incremental improvement plane (which calls the "pink" plane) and the paradigm shift (or "blue") plane. [...]

The forces in the pink plane have to do with making an ever-better Smalltalk-80 system [...]

The forces in the blue plane have to do with [...] an exquisite personal comuputing environment. [...]

One aspect is that things must stay small and simple enough that they remain comprehensible and accessible to a single person.

L’hacker contento ed il DPO stizzito

Una correttissima iniziativa hacker si rivolge in maniera virtuosa alla Pubblica Amministrazione; certamente nessuno vorrà svilirla o minimizzarla.

Little follow up about the .

It has been adoped by , an automatic and distributed observatory written in with the explicit goal to be easy to hack and run for any teenager who just learnt the language from an online tutorial.

On our first run we detected 7833 public administrations' websites using .

We formally requested all of their DPO and Data Controller to remove it as its usage is in violation of as established by the sentence of @Curia (thanks to @noybeu).

Two weeks later, almost 4000 italian public administrations (several hundreds of schools!) that were sending to detailed data about every page visit, removed Google Analytics.

More details about the project are available (in Italian) at monitora-pa.it

Next week we will officially run our observatory again, we will notify again PA that still have Google Analytics in violation of , but we will also escalate to the various Authorities that Italian and European Law provide.

And obviously, Google Analytics is just a starting point!

We are refactoring our code to make it trivial to add more conformity checks even beyond the web and to run it over different data sources so that people can easily run our observatory over any set of websites, from political parties to football clubs.

And in the July's run, we hope to detect and request removal for at least connections and Tracking Pixels too.

Obviously we got several powerful enemies. for first, but also several Italian lawyers and administrators that did not protected citizens personal data.

And among them, quite expected, compromised organizations like that are spreading about our license of choice without even reading it or trying to help us to improve it.
