The JRC proposes a new framework to raise awareness and resilience against hybrid threats. A new conceptual framework on hybrid threats designed by researchers aims to increase the understanding of hybrid threats and facilitate the development of effective measures to improve resilience against these threats.
The 'hybrid threats' concept refers to coordinated action conducted by hostile state or non-state actors with the deliberate goal to undermine or harm democratic states. Altmaier: Green transport does not mean the end of the private car. Derrière la fusion Veolia-Suez, le rêve d’un Gafam français, par Marc Laimé (Les blogs du Diplo, 2 novembre 2020)
Il faut revenir au milieu des années 2000 pour prendre la mesure du virage stratégique initié par Suez.

Welcomes ambition for an open, collaborative European cloud; applies to join GAIA-X - DIGITALEUROPE. Podcast: How democracies can reclaim digital power. Technology companies provide much of the critical infrastructure of the modern state and develop products that affect fundamental rights.
Search and social media companies, for example, have set de facto norms on privacy, while facial recognition and predictive policing software used by law enforcement agencies can contain racial bias. In this episode of Deep Tech, Marietje Schaake argues that national regulators aren’t doing enough to enforce democratic values in technology, and it will take an international effort to fight back. Schaake—a Dutch politician who used to be a member of the European parliament and is now international policy director at Stanford University's Cyber Policy Center—joins our editor-in-chief, Gideon Lichfield, to discuss how decisions made in the interests of business are dictating the lives of billions of people. Mainstream media is the biggest amplifier of White House disinformation. Benkler’s team just published its study, which examines the president’s disinformation campaign against mail-in votes and details the methods—and people—he’s using to accomplish his goals.
The findings found that some of the biggest names in American mass media and the political elite are primarily responsible, and that social media plays only a secondary role. The findings run contrary to the popular idea that it’s foreign troll factories doing the worst disinformation dirty work. The study examined 55,000 media stories, 5 million tweets, and 75,000 Facebook posts. #Algorithms4Consumers - EU2020 - EN.

Amazon introduces Amazon One, a way to pay with your palm when entering stores. In the middle of a pandemic when customers are often wearing plastic gloves to stores alongside their face masks, Amazon’s physical retail team is introducing a new biometric device that will allow shoppers to pay at Amazon Go stores using their palm. The company on Tuesday introduced its purportedly “contactless” Amazon One, a scanner of sorts where you’ll first insert your credit card, then hover your palm over the device to associate your palm signature with your payment mechanism. Once your card is on file, you’ll be able to enter the store in the future just by holding your palm above the Amazon One device for a second or so.
Leading multilateral efforts to address tax challenges from digitalisation of the economy. 09/10/2019 - Today the OECD Secretariat published a proposal to advance international negotiations to ensure large and highly profitable Multinational Enterprises, including digital companies, pay tax wherever they have significant consumer-facing activities and generate their profits. The new OECD proposal brings together common elements of three competing proposals from member countries, and is based on the work of the OECD/G20 Inclusive Framework on BEPS, which groups 134 countries and jurisdictions on an equal footing, for multilateral negotiation of international tax rules, making them fit for purpose for the global economy of the 21st Century. The proposal, which is now open to a public consultation process, would re-allocate some profits and corresponding taxing rights to countries and jurisdictions where MNEs have their markets.

Nous sommes tous des mutants, par Bernard Dujon (Le Monde diplomatique, juillet 2017)
«Êtes-vous pour ou contre ? » Dans le domaine de la génétique, et plus particulièrement celui des modifications dirigées des génomes, cette question-couperet supplante souvent les autres. Elle se pose avec une insistance plus stridente encore depuis la mise au point de nouveaux outils moléculaires, appelés Crispr, qui permettent de couper, d’éliminer ou de remplacer des séquences bien précises du génome avec facilité.
En théorie, ces méthodes ouvrent des champs d’application illimités. Mais peut-on vraiment savoir ce qu’il faut en penser avant de comprendre ce dont il s’agit ? Modifier un génome consiste à remplacer de façon ciblée un gène ou un fragment de gène par un élément — un morceau d’ADN — destiné à le réparer ou, au contraire, à l’inactiver. Les outils moléculaires utilisés existent à l’état naturel ou proviennent de simples assemblages d’éléments naturels, car la nature ne se prive pas de remodeler les génomes. Bataille géopolitique autour de la 5G, par Evgeny Morozov (Le Monde diplomatique, octobre 2020)
Qui contrôlera les technologies d’Internet ? Covid-19 : les données incomplètes de Santé publique France compliquent le suivi de l’épidémie. Combien de personnes âgées sont réellement décédées du Covid-19 dans les maisons de retraite cet été ? La question travaille Jean-Marie Robine, chercheur à l’Institut national d’études démographiques (INED).

As underlined by the new European data strategy, the European Commission wants to make Europe fit for the digital age and unleash the full benefits of better data usage for everyone. Data is essential for the creation of new business models for data-driven innovations and services. However, there are two things standing in the way of access to sufficient data. One is a growing unwillingness to share data because of privacy and security concerns. Fair data economy. Sitra’s IHAN project builds a European data economy model, having taken its first steps in Finland. The set of values on which a fair data economy is based combines a human-centric approach, trust, a new sense of community and the principles of sustainable growth.
The aim is a human-driven European data market, where companies that use data responsibly and open-mindedly succeed with smart services. The fair data economy will benefit everyone. Data will be shared more freely between different parties. Trust in service providers will encourage individuals to share their data when the sharing is based on their consent. 35 proposals to make the European data strategy work. The new data strategy of the European Commission aims to make the EU a leader in a data-driven society. Creating a single market for data will allow it to flow freely within the EU and across sectors for the benefit of businesses, researchers and public administrations.
Data Spaces as Core of The European Data Strategy and Europe's Digital Future - International Data Spaces Association. To build European Data Spaces common design principles are needed, for which IDS is a very good fundament. The list of required measures includes the following: IDSA is connected to many relevant initiatives across the globe including BDVA, FIWARE, the Industrial Internet Consortium IIC, the Industrial Value Chain Initiative, and the Plattform Industrie 4.0. IDSA and its member organizations participate in more than 20 research projects, mainly in the EU Horizon 2020 program and on national level.
