The document discusses proposals to strengthen protections for freedom of expression and information in Iceland. It recommends revising at least 13 laws to align with European standards. Key proposals include strengthening source protection for journalists, limiting data retention to message delivery only, defining clear rules for intermediary liability, establishing an online freedom of information registry, and limiting prior restraint to protect against banning pre-publication materials. The document advocates learning from other countries' legal frameworks and participating in public discussions to promote these information rights reforms.

Reconciling protection of personal data and journalistic freedom
Reconciling protection of personal data and journalistic freedomP辰ivi Korpisaari
油
For journalists and media companies it is very important that they
can obtain personal data and have filing systems for their journalistic purposes. It is also necessary that they can publish information even if it would mean that the published information
constitutes a filing system. According to Art 85 of the GDPR
member states of the EU shall provide for exemptions or derogations from certain chapters of the GDPR if they are necessary to reconcile the right to the protection of personal
data with the freedom of expression and information.
According to recital 153 of GDPR it is important to interpret such
concepts like journalism broadly. In this presentation I analyse these things in the light of ECHR, GDPR and recent GC judgment Satakunnan Markkinap旦rssi Oy and Satamedia Oy v. Finland (27.6.2017).

The UK Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) was adopted in 2000 and fully implemented in 2005 across all UK public authorities simultaneously. This led to initial problems with delays and backlogs in responding to requests. Lessons learned include the need for adequate resources for oversight bodies like the Information Commissioner's Office to promote awareness and compliance. Civil society played an important role through media involvement, advocacy, and litigation to support effective FOIA implementation over time.The Road to Schrems II

This document summarizes the events leading up to and following the European Court of Justice's 2015 ruling invalidating the US-EU Safe Harbor agreement. It begins with the adoption of the 1995 EU Data Protection Directive and the subsequent 2000 US-EU Safe Harbor agreement allowing data transfers. It then discusses Max Schrems' legal challenges against Facebook's data practices, which resulted in the 2015 ECJ ruling. Following this, it outlines the 2016 Privacy Shield agreement and Schrems' subsequent 2020 legal challenge against Facebook's data transfers under a different legal basis.New Media Internet Expression and European Data Protection

The document discusses the expansive interpretations of EU data protection law adopted by the CJEU and European data protection authorities (DPAs) and their implications for internet actors. It notes that while the formal legal stance is broad, enforcement of data protection against expression has been limited and sporadic. It also discusses how an enforcement focus can lead DPAs to issue guidance that conflicts with their broad interpretative stance, as seen with guidelines on search engines after the Google Spain ruling."Information Compliance - Freedom of Information, Data Protection and Librari...

This document discusses the interface between data protection law and journalism. It notes that while EU law provides some exemptions for journalism, most countries still subject it to qualified data protection standards. It argues that data protection authorities (DPAs) should take a co-regulatory approach when setting standards and enforcing data protection in journalism. Specifically, DPAs should engage with self-regulatory bodies to help ensure protections for vulnerable groups while respecting press freedom. Enforcement should show deference to self-regulation but DPAs must ultimately make independent assessments.Guardian Masterclass Investigative Journalism FOI Training 10 Tips

油
This document discusses open access to legislation in Romania. It notes that while there are currently several public databases of legislation, access is limited and the data is not open. However, opening legislation as open data represents a high opportunity, as the raw data is already available electronically and could be easily opened at low cost. Open data has social, economic, and transparency benefits. The document outlines some projects underway in Romania to improve access to legislation, including the N-lex project by the Ministry of Justice to provide free electronic access to the national legislative database. In conclusion, while open access to Romanian legislation does not currently exist, legislation represents an extremely viable domain for open data.Privacy Jungle

Practice of access to information. Finland has a long tradition of open access to government files, starting from the Worlds oldest freedom of information law that was enacted in 1766, when Finland was part of Sweden. The draft Law is clearly about the transparency and publicity of the ACTIVITIES of officials, not DOCUMENTS only. Having a broader scope is good.

It also discusses Hungary's Act on the Protection of Personal Data and Public Access to Data of Public Interest, which was one of the first combined data protection and freedom of information laws in Europe.

The national legislation of Albania provides protection of journalists' right to not disclose their sources of information. This protection is construed in several laws and the Constitution. The Constitution guarantees freedom of the press, radio and television. The Press Law of 1993 and the Law on Public and Private Radio and Television of 1998 also aim to protect journalists. However, the legal framework is still being reformed to meet European standards. While journalists have protection, their right is not absolute - legislation allows for balancing protection of sources with overriding public interests in certain situations, such as criminal proceedings. The protection aims to ensure confidentiality of sources so they are not deterred from providing information to journalists on matters of public interest.Privacy Report: Romania from the DP Act to the Constitutional Court decisio...

- The Human Rights Act of 1998 brought English law into line with the European Convention on Human Rights. It conferred certain privacy rights on individuals, including data protection and online privacy. The Act protects personal data and applies to data held on computers or in relevant filing systems.
- Intellectual property rights protect creative works and include copyright, patents, trademarks, design rights, and protections for confidential information. Copyright specifically protects recorded creative works from unauthorized use and allows authors to take legal action for infringement.
- The Obscene Publications Act 1959 makes it an offense to publish content that could "deprave and corrupt" those who view or access it, including images of extreme or unlawful sexual acts.Eurosint Forum Presentation

The UK Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) was adopted in 2000 and fully implemented in 2005 across all UK public authorities simultaneously. This led to initial problems with delays in responding to requests and a backlog of complaints. However, civil society played an important role in advocating for the FOIA and ensuring its proper implementation through public awareness campaigns, media involvement, lobbying politicians, and being prepared to support litigation. Lessons learned included capitalizing on political opportunities, cultivating support from key officials, and linking FOI principles to issues that engaged the public.DRAFT 2 - The Internet has effectively rendered privacy as a thing of the past

油
This document discusses privacy rights in the UK and how the internet has impacted privacy. It begins by outlining that the UK does not have an overarching right to privacy but does have a qualified right to respect for private life under Article 8 of the ECHR. It then examines how public bodies like the GCHQ and NSA conduct mass surveillance online through programs like PRISM and Tempora. This raises issues of whether such surveillance violates privacy rights and is proportionate. The document also analyzes a legal case brought by Liberty challenging GCHQ's surveillance activities. While the tribunal found GCHQ's actions lawful, their decision is still subject to scrutiny regarding whether enough safeguards truly exist.Internet freedom: a comparative assessment
