Copyright Enforcement In Europe After Acta: What Now ?, Irina Baraliuc, Serge Gutwirth, Sari Depreeuw Sep 2012

Copyright Enforcement In Europe After Acta: What Now ?, Irina Baraliuc, Serge Gutwirth, Sari Depreeuw

Serge Gutwirth

If many Europeans have been rightly expressing their outrage and refusal of ACTA, they should remain vigilant and mobilized to what is happening much closer to their bed, inside the EU machinery. They have probably succeeded in busting ACTA, but they should be aware that the ACTA train may well hide another no less dangerous one.


A Comparative Analysis Of Anti-Discrimination And Data Protection Legislations, Raphael Gellert, Katja De Vries, Paul De Hert, Serge Gutwirth Sep 2012

A Comparative Analysis Of Anti-Discrimination And Data Protection Legislations, Raphael Gellert, Katja De Vries, Paul De Hert, Serge Gutwirth

Serge Gutwirth

Departing from the ECJ’s Huber case where Germany was condemned for discriminatory processing of personal data and which suggests that there is a strong kin between data protection and discrimination issues, this chapter is an attempt to further compare the two fundamental rights (i.e., non-discrimination, and data protection). Beyond their place in the EU legal order, their respective object or scope, this chapter will contend that these two human rights increasingly turn to the same mode of operation, including, inter alia, reliance upon administrative structures and procedures, or the endowment of citizens with a bundle of individual rights. We will …


Bange Blanke Mensen ?, Serge Gutwirth, Paul De Hert Jun 2012

Bange Blanke Mensen ?, Serge Gutwirth, Paul De Hert

Serge Gutwirth

Degenen die een algemeen boerkaverbod willen, vinden eigenlijk dat de expressie van de geloofsovertuiging van draagsters van boerka’s in het openbaar altijd en zonder meer moet verboden worden. Censuur, dus. Wel : dat ze daarvoor uitkomen, in plaats van te doen alsof ze objectieve argumenten hebben en alsof ze niet tot het kamp van het eigen gelijk behoren.


Privacy En Technologie, Serge Gutwirth Jun 2012

Privacy En Technologie, Serge Gutwirth

Serge Gutwirth

Deze tekst bevat een inleiding tot en een bespreking van een tekst van wijlen Koen Raes onder de titel "The privacy of technology and the technology of privacy. The rise of privatism and the deprivation of public culture" (1989). Vele standpunten van mijn betreurde vriend zijn nog steeds erg pertinent en actueel.


Short Statement About The Role Of Consent In The European Data Protection Directive, Serge Gutwirth Jan 2012

Short Statement About The Role Of Consent In The European Data Protection Directive, Serge Gutwirth

Serge Gutwirth

The fundamental principle of data protection is not the “consent principle”, but the purpose specification principle, worded in art. 6 of the Data Protection Directive, which foresees that personal data may only be “collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes and not further processed in a way incompatible with those purposes”, and that they should be “adequate, relevant and not excessive in relation to the purposes for which they are collected and/or further processed and “accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date”. Often, these two principles – the purpose specification and the data quality principles – are coined as …


De Wegen Van De Commissie Adriaenssens Waren Ondoorgrondelijk, Els Dumortier, Kevin Goris, Serge Gutwirth Jan 2012

De Wegen Van De Commissie Adriaenssens Waren Ondoorgrondelijk, Els Dumortier, Kevin Goris, Serge Gutwirth

Serge Gutwirth

This contribution (in Dutch) focuses on the rise and fall of the “Commission Adriaenssens”. This commission was installed by the Belgian Catholic church in order to react on the problems of sexual abuse of children “in pastoral relations”, but stopped functioning once a Belgian judge decided to confiscate all of its files. On the basis of the Commission’s Final Report we first describe the Commission’s stated goals to function as a (South-African) “Truth & Reconciliation Commission” in a “complementary way” to traditional criminal justice. Secondly, we critically assess these goals by focussing on the Commission’s restorative and penal tendencies, its …


Beyond Accountability, The Return To Privacy?, Raphael Gellert, Serge Gutwirth Jan 2012

Beyond Accountability, The Return To Privacy?, Raphael Gellert, Serge Gutwirth

Serge Gutwirth

Faced to the inability of existing legislations to efficiently protect individuals against new practices such as profiling or data mining, a focus upon and a reinforcement of the accountability principle have been proposed. This paper however, aims at going beyond the accountability principle by questioning the rationale of the existing legal framework. Too often the legal protection of privacy is solely envisaged from the perspective of data protection. This is symptomatic of the assumption that data protection is a full translation of “informational privacy”. However, this overlooks the fact that privacy and data protection obey to two fundamentally different logics, …
