 Privacy and security on the internet"The police, private companies, criminals - want to have as wide as possible access to our personal information - be it for legal or illegal purposes. The monitoring of individuals could turn our societies stealthily into a Big Brother society," Greek Socialist Stavros Lambrinidis warned at a hearing on data protection on the internet. Mr Lambrinidis is preparing a report for fellow MEPs on the internet and fundamental rights. A key issue is the limits of consent of the user for the use of his or her data on the web - by "ticking a box to opt-in or opt-out...or an internet company just stating its terms" he said. Do people actually read internet disclaimers? Mr Lambrinidis told the hearing that: "Internet companies and governments clearly have a lot more power and knowledge than individual users". In addition, companies often offer more attractive terms for their services in exchange for lower privacy protection. Due to this imbalance of power, limits of consent will be the "biggest battle line" in coming years in the internet security and privacy debate. For Mr Lambrinidis it is clear that nothing less than "unambiguous consent by the user" is going to be needed. 9 March 2009 European Parliament:

 Nudge and wink may turn on all your gadgetsThe device looks like a normal set of headphones but is fitted with a set of infrared sensors that measure tiny movements inside the ear that result from different facial expressions. The gizmo - called the "Mimi Switch" or "Ear Switch" - is connected to a micro-computer that can control electronic devices, essentially making it a hands-free remote control for anything. "You will be able to turn on room lights or swing your washing machine into action with a quick twitch of your mouth," said its inventor, Kazuhiro Taniguchi of Osaka University. Posted: 6:44:31 AM
