Online Privacy: Towards Informational Self-Determination on the Internet Dagstuhl Perspectives Workshop 11061 2011-02-06 – 2011-02-11
While the collection and monetization of user data has become a main source for funding ``free'' services like search engines, online social networks, news sites and blogs, neither privacy-enhancing technologies nor its regulations have kept up with user needs and privacy preferences. The aim of this Manifesto is to raise awareness for the actual state of the art of online privacy, especially in the international research community and in ongoing efforts to improve the respective legal frameworks, and to provide concrete recommendations to industry, regulators, and research agencies for improving online privacy. In particular we examine how the basic principle of informational self-determination, as promoted by European legal doctrines, could be applied to infrastructures like the internet, Web 2.0 and mobile telecommunication networks.

11.05.2009 - The Trust in Digital Life Partnership has been launched at the Future of the Internet Conference in Prague
The Trust in Digital Life Partnership (TDLP) is a new initiative that aims, over the course of two years, to set out a vision for trustworthy products relating to information and communications technology (ICT), including devices, applications, services, and infrastructures. Central to this vision shall be a recognition of the importance of the rule of law, security, and privacy and other core democratic freedoms in contributing to trustworthiness. The TDL Partnership will translate this vision into an agenda for research and innovation, placing particular emphasis on transparency and accountability. In the process, the TDL Partnership will coordinate with other initiatives as it takes an inventory of emergent digital technologies that can be combined to implement the vision, and it will engage in a broad dialogue. By presenting scenarios, or use cases, Members will illustrate how combinations of trustworthy ICT-related products can give effect to specific public policy goals.
