Already 10 years ago Tiger Woods made a social statement in the American Golf sport. The US Masters is considered at least one of the four, it not the biggest Golf Tournements in the World, comparable with the Grand Slams in tennis.

As part of their six part series about the Middle-East, Tegenlicht has chosen to review the media coverage of this part of the world. Dutch Journalist of the year Joris Luyendijk analyses the media and compares it with his own experiences. Although much of the story of how news reaches the viewers is absolutely no news for the industry, unfortunally few viewers seem really aware of the full extend.
Moreover Luyendijk argues that it should be the moral and professional responsibility of the industry itself in becoming more transparent about it. Unfortunally this documentary is in Dutch. For those non-Dutch enjoy then how the Daily Show remakes Al Jazeera to the Media standard. Continue reading »

Er is geen enkel onderzoek uitgevoerd in Europa dat de noodzaak en effectiviteit aantoont voor het aanleggen van een dergelijke grootschalige database, gevuld met zeer gevoelige persoonlijke gegevens.

Er zijn in Nederland wel twee onderzoeken uitgevoerd naar de noodzaak van het gebruik van dit soort gegevens. Daaruit is gebleken dat met de beschikbare data eigenlijk alle justitiële onderzoeken succesvol kunnen worden afgerond.
Naast nutteloos, zijn er een hoop zaken kwalijk slecht gedefinieerd en is er FLINKE inbreuk op onze privacy rechten. Roel Groeneveld heeft het in een klein artikel uitgebreider en nog iets duidelijker neergezet.

On April 24th25th, the European Parliament will vote on IPRED2, the Second Intellectual Property Enforcement Directive. With one stroke, they risk turning thousands of innocent EU citizens and businesses into copycriminals. Only you can stop them. Sign the petition here.
Europe already has laws against these fraudsters. With many terms in IPRED2 left unclear or completely undefined – including “commercial scale” and “incitement” – IPRED2 will expand police authority and make suspects out of legitimate consumers and businesses, slowing innovation and limiting your digital rights.
Again a bad EU idea.
