Big Tent, Google's living room in Rome: the Internet and businesses at the time ... - The Messenger

ROME – A mega-manager of the Internet that proclaims “I try to convert 4 million people,” the prelate in the room that raises his hand to say, “We have a common interest” and then replied: “The solutions to the problems of the network can be found in the documents of the Council of Trent.”

The relationship between the Chief Evangelist (chief evangelist, other than guru) Google’s Vint Cerf and the Director of Catholic Civilization Father Antonio Spadaro was just one of the memorable moments of the first Big Tent of Google’s history in Rome: all under a colorful tent to discuss in an informal manner the role of digital culture and the content industry, from journalism to music to books. Up to the thorny problem of privacy in the days of Datagate (although in the U.S. they do not call it that).

Privacy 2.0. Organised by the leading search engines worldwide in collaboration with IFPI, Fapav and MindTheBridge Orangery of Saint Sixtus of the Baths of Caracalla, the meeting was opened by the Minister of Culture and Tourism Maximum Bray , recalled that after fully web- style as “Francis, a social Pope, said:” Be men of the border and do not try to tame the frontier, ‘”he declared his inte ntion to open a table with Google on data processing. “I believe that transparency is a must – said commenting on the decision of the Ombudsman for privacy wary of Google in relation to the processing of data acquired by the users – and that Google is a great hero of our times, and then you need to open a table with the company, as has been done in other European countries. “

The prairie of the web. Always to remain hot topics, it was impossible to avoid discussing moles of technological , espionage and Datagate case. Perhaps it is appropriate to make a “step back” and regulate the Internet, but “not in the technology,” but in the “principles”. Word of Jeff Jarvis , U.S. journalist and blogger among the most well-known not only overseas thanks to Buzzmachine.com: the classic web-addicted, but under the tent Google takes notes by hand on an old block notes. “I was there in New York on September 11 – he told ANSA – I saw the second plane crash into the tower, I believe in safety, I believe that we need security. I think the 11 was in part a failure of intelligence. But this does not give license to the government to listen to our conversations. ” For the Government of the open web guru can turn into one of the worst threats to privacy, “ because it gathers information like no one else can do and can use the information against us, in ways that others can not.” In each NSA, he stressed, “the government collects information from Google’s servers not, but takes them from the full flow of the Internet, which is even more frightening. When I share the data with Google on my geographic location, I do it to find a pizza or anything else. It is a transaction and I have agreed to do it. But when the government intervenes and secretly entices that information, it is evil and wrong. “

On the face of Google to reassure users is one of the number one intervened . Not just Big G, but the internet itself. Just Vinton Cerf , now Google vice president, he invented (along with Bob Kahn) Protocol TCP / IP, the one that regulates data transmissions and that “ ago internet. Google, he said, speaking to the audience dell’Aranciera Italian, “you can rely on.” Moreover, he added, “if it were true that we violate the privacy of our users we would be stupid,” because in that case “we would be in a good economic situation” as “no one would trust her more data.” “There is an agreement between Google – precise – the NSA or other intelligence agencies also to gain access to our content. We we review only those requests that we receive through legal means. There from all over the world. “

The rebirth of music. One of the worlds most overwhelmed by the explosion of piracy on the web, the music is moving His first important steps towards new Internet-capable models. Andrea Rosi , president and CEO of Sony Italy, revealed that “in 10 years in the music lost 50% of the jobs, but now we are taking on new roles related to digital,” explaining that “After years to fight piracy today Sony admits that the only solution is to bring music to the client on the device they prefer and fair price. ” So in a world where the first customer of the music industry Apple is Italian and the second is YouTube (where everything is free and revenues come from advertising), there is also the lead singer Roman Daniele Silvestri that in this Big Tent presents his # stizziscitici the “do not track” tongue twister that will be updated (strictly online) each month.

Big Tent on social. Like any big event, 2013, # BigTentRoma proceeds in parallel on Twitter, nurtured by the “cast” of those present and felled by users around the world. And if the jokes are all the rage Vint Cerf (“Internet has many fathers, but who is the mother? ‘And in the afternoon the latest viral fashion is trying on Google Glass brought in preview by Jarvis, there are those who will the opportunity to throw barbs at the Italian system: “Unfortunately stream # BigTentRoma goes in spurts, a metaphor for the lack of infrastructure,” and finally, playing on the name of this Big Tent: “Perhaps the tent there because it would have taken in Rome too many permissions … “.
