Videovigilância: vir salientar que um parecer da CNPD "não é desfavorável"... é truque.

Pela 1529º vez: a CNPD só não chumba estas medidas securitárias que não respeitam o princípio da proporcionalidade porque foi impedida por lei de o fazer (como acontecia antes).

De igual forma, dizer que apenas foram apontadas "melhorias técnicas" é outro truque. Não corresponde a qualquer tipo de concordância por parte da CNPD, simplesmente a intervenção da CNPD está hoje reduzida a essas tecnicidades.

A Assembleia da República garantiu nos últimos anos que a nossa autoridade de protecção de dados pessoais, no que respeita à videovigilância, não existe.
Parabéns a todos os envolvidos!

La expansión de la OTAN, la estrategia “diplomática” estadounidense después de la desaparición de la URSS, el papel de los medios masivos de comunicación con respecto a Rusia como piezas claves para el surgimiento de la figura de Putin.

The expansion of NATO, the US “diplomatic” strategy after the demise of the USSR, the role of the mass media regarding to Russia as key pieces for the emergence of Putin’s figure.

No sé cuántas personas conocen a Vladimir Pozner, ni cuántas puedan comprender inglés, pero la exposición que Pozner hizo en la Universidad de Yale en 2018 en el marco del Programa de Estudios sobre Rusia, Europa del Este y Eurasia, y la Beca Poynter de Periodismo, es increíblemente reveladora y pedagógica para comprender mejor cómo llegamos a esta situación entre Estados Unidos (via OTAN) y Rusia en la que Ucrania quedó atrapada. Cada minuto de su charla y la ronda de preguntas posterior (que dura más de una hora) son muy interesantes y lamentablemente premonitorios.

“El 27 de septiembre de 2018, el Programa de Estudios sobre Rusia, Europa del Este y Eurasia de Yale, y la Beca Poynter de Periodismo recibieron a Vladimir Pozner, el aclamado periodista y locutor ruso-estadounidense. Pozner habló sobre el impacto de la política exterior de Estados Unidos hacia Rusia tras la disolución de la Unión Soviética, y compartió sus opiniones sobre una serie de cuestiones planteadas por la audiencia, desde la supuesta injerencia rusa en las elecciones presidenciales de 2016 en Estados Unidos, hasta el envenenamiento de Skripal, pasando por el estado de los medios de comunicación independientes en Rusia y Estados Unidos.”

I don’t know how many people know Vladimir Pozner, nor how many can understand English, but the presentation Pozner gave at Yale University in 2018 as part of the Russia, Eastern Europe and Eurasia Studies Program and the Poynter Journalism Fellowship is incredibly eye-opening and pedagogical to better understand how we got into this situation between the United States (via NATO) and Russia in which Ukraine got trapped. Every minute of his talk and the Q&A afterwards (which lasts over an hour) is very interesting and unfortunately prescient.

“On September 27, 2018, Yale’s Program in Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies, and the Poynter Fellowship for Journalism hosted Vladimir Pozner, the acclaimed Russian-American journalist and broadcaster. Pozner spoke on the impact of US foreign policy towards Russia after the Soviet Union has been disbanded, and shared his opinions on a range of issues raised by the audience, from the alleged Russian interference in the 2016 US presidential elections, to Skripal poisoning, to the state of independent media in Russia and the US.”
