Page was also reference to a demonstration site revealing the secrets behind the scenes, namely the functionality of a bootnet control panel. The now closed Facebook page has been active for several months.

Google is to launch an automatic software of censorship -

Google is working on a new software that can allow us to automatically validate the legality of the contents of an e-mail before sending

Google has filed a patent that makes many users to be involved :. there is a software called Violation Checker policy, which scans email messages as they are being written. If the issuer has written something that is contrary to a law, the software immediately identifies and can act accordingly, for example by informing the authorities about it.

The program officially recognizes "problematic sentences in an electronic document, such as an email. "Sentences of the message are compared in real time with a database of sentences considered to be a problem. If a sentence of the message corresponds to a sentence of the database, the user is alerted.

the problem is that the software also allows you to automatically alert a third party if the words contained in email on the legal framework. the systematic study of email exchanges can also enrich the database with other "sentences problematic. "Upon detection of a sentence" problematic "but the system can suggest to use another phrase" no problem ".

legitimize its approach, Google says that" it is in the interest of companies to prevent the violation of internal rules and laws. " the software can be used by a company to discreetly monitor the exchange of employees emails to avoid "actions that potentially lead to violations of the charter of the society, such as privacy." It can be installed directly in the mail in a corporate intranet or on a computer. And the database can be programmed in one or more languages.

According to Google, this software can help companies that need to monitor what is reported about them to avoid prosecution or information leaks. Nothing is said, however, for possible use by courier services or Google government, whether those of the United States or other countries. Indeed, if the patent is validated by the US Patent and Trademark Office, the marketing of the violation of the Checker policy could start in a few months, businesses and governments that want to optimize their web monitoring.

First suspension of Internet access in France because of the Hadopi -

the Seine-Saint-Denis district court sentenced the Internet user to a fine of 0 euros and a suspension of its connection for a period of two weeks.
The Hadopi law has been in place since 06 and provides a graduated response system designed to function as a "reminder of educational law system that was established by the Commission for the Protection of Piracy in the fight against the illicit trade in works protected by copyright or related right. "
Internet users suspected of a" lack of security "of its Internet line will thus receive a first notified by e-mail and by registered mail, before being contacted by Hadopi and receive a penalty. But so far, despite several attempts, no user was sentenced to suspension from the Internet, which was felt as a measure controversial and created much debate before the law was passed.
in addition, it is not certain that the penalty may be applied :. when the law was passed, ISPs had explained that the suspension was technically complex, because the operator must still give the user access to his email account and phone line

Towards the end of the Hadopi law in France -

The Hadopi (High Authority for the dissemination of works and protection of rights Internet) control users who download movies and music illegally. It was the subject of much controversy since its inception in early 2011 and is becoming the victim of his poor record. According to some figures released last May, he proves to be a particular financial burden

Hadopi, the law enforcement agency would be debt: according to the site PC Impact , for 1 € grant from the Ministry of Culture, the High Authority spends € 1.07. In 2013, Hadopi has received a grant of € 8,427,0 euros (vs.11 million in 2012).

A reform of the law is under consideration. Pierre Lescure, a former director of the TV channel has been asked to work on a report on the benefits and the future of HADOPI. Lescure in the report that was published in the spring, he proposed the complete abolition of the law, but other measures are also studied. Aurélie Filippetti, Minister of Culture, announced July 9 that a decree was signed to remove the fact that those who violated the law can see them blocked Internet access for a period of 2 weeks. "If convicted, the judge may impose an additional penalty of internet pause", welcomed the Minister.

Thus, "only a fine may now be imposed for gross negligence offense. "the maximum penalty was in effect are applied once since the implementation of the Hadopi law. a court in Seine-Saint-Denis sentenced in mid-June for a user to have their Internet access is interrupted for 2 weeks because of his illegal downloading.

But the minister of culture considers it "a great victory for all french citizens because the penalty was for her and found" unsuited to the world that is ours "and more" affecting the rights of individuals. "The abolition of the maximum sentence, however, does not question the will of the French government to protect rights. In case of illegal downloading, "graduated response will be greatly restructured and Piracy should be removed," she certified.

This new approach aims to fight against sites that make money through piracy, focusing on the provider over the Web user. Hadopi, the controller behind the three-stage law should eventually disappear. Although the fines are maintained for those proceeed to online piracy. A law should be examined in late 2013 or early 2014.

Europol and Interpol launched their first conference on cybercrime -

Europol and Interpol have just had their first joint conference on cybercrime, to strengthen international cooperation to address current and future challenges of cybersecurity.

Over 250 professionals attended the 2-day conference at Europol headquarters in The Hague. Participants from 42 countries, representing over 80 different organizations or representatives of authorities responsible for law enforcement, NGO professionals related to cybersecurity or representing the private sector and universities.

Internet facilitates the daily lives of the people, but also implies the emergence of new types of cybercrime. International experts have also said in the Europol -. Interpol conference on cybercrime that the lack of enforcement at the international level is a major challenge in the fight against cybercrime

"We face the challenges of the rapidly changing the Internet. More than 24 billion devices will soon be connected to the Internet 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. This represents huge amounts of data produced and shared computers, tablets and mobile phones. These data includes information on our behavior and on our location, health, Internet search, etc ... "said Troels Oerting, director of the European Centre for the fight against cybercrime.

Mr. Oerting, most Internet users are not sufficiently informed about how to protect their devices against cybercrime. In addition, cybercriminals act internationally, ie beyond any border of any law. "One of the major problems in the fight against cyber crime is related to the fact that the legislation varies from country to country. Criminals commit their crimes in a country but not physically. Therefore, it is essential to develop cooperation among countries and international law if we are to effectively fight against cyber crime, "said Xinhua executive director of Interpol, Noboru Nakatani

Rob Wainwright, Director Europol, commented: ". Cybercrime is the best example of the globalization of crime, which is why it is so important that the national units are fighting against cybercrime using the services we offer. "

Noboru Nakatani, Executive Director of the INTERPOL Global Complex for Innovation (CMII), said:" Cybercrime is a truly transnational crime, it requires global solutions as no nation or international organization can solve this problem in itself. We need a global alliance to fight against cybercrime. "

many experts believe that we really need to develop cooperation and international law to anticipate what will be the future . To date, the laws in many countries are inadequate to fight against cyber crime and criminals are increasingly operating on the Internet, exploiting the place where procedures are less stringent and using the fact that Internet, it is difficult for them to be identified.

This annual conference on cybercrime Europol Interpol alternately held in the Hague and Singapore, where the new CMII complex is currently under construction.
