The Great Hack workshop (Q1096)

Practicalities

  • Day 1 4.45pm-5.45pm

Introduction

Some examples

Lessons from "The Great Hack"

  • David Carroll's actions have helped go beyond the usual (lack of) data protection enforcement.
  • Authorities often need complaints and evidence, their investigative and injunctive powers augment then.
  • Anyone can change things by pushing their rights through.
  • Journalists dropped the ball on David Carroll's case.
  • Time for action.

Youtubers' Union

  • Youtubers are affected by algorithms demonetizing their content, based on unclear criteria.
  • In the FairTube campaign, they are demanding better working conditions, mostly through transparency.
  • They are exercising these demands collectively in an alliance with IG Metall (one of Europe's largest labor unions), with a threat of going individual(!) through the GDPR.

By now they got out of their ultimatum to Youtube some formal sitdown encounter.

Transparency surface

  • Black hat hackers use the so-called "attack surface" of a system to figure out its weaknesses, for their own profit.
  • White hats do the same, but for the collective benefit.


  • concept
  • examples (recent complaint)
  • rights associated to it
  • expansion


Plan

  • Right of access: why it exists
  • Overall strategy: think, request/demand, argue, amplify, pressure; rinse and repeat


Use case

  • Lumascape
  • Facebook
