Following the dictum that attack is the best form of defence, the French government is proposing to introduce a one per cent special tax to be levied on smartphones and tablets. It is claimed that the money raised, some €86 million a year in the first instance, would be used to fund the creation of "digital cultural content" (music, images and video) in the country.

Thanks to the likes of Google, Facebook and other companies of that ilk, their client corporations are now doing anything and everything they can to use data, often provided freely and naively to them by private individuals via social networking sites to capture, "own" and hold people in permanent commercial thrall. What governments will do will be exponentially worse. By Martyn Warwick. (2)

In the UK, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) has published a new paper which "examines article-by-article" the European Commission's (EC) latest proposals for new data protection regulations for the European Union's 27 member states and rebuts major aspects of them on the grounds that to increase the protection of our private data would be "bad for business" in Britain.

Proposals being laid before the EU may end the insidious practice of the automatic "opting-in" of European consumers that, by default, allows organisations and commercial interests to collect, archive, collate, manipulate and sell personal data. In future, rather than having physically to opt-out of giving permission, consumers will "opt-in" - and that is a very different kettle of fish. By Martyn Warwick. (0)

Well, bang goes another myth. The Mounties don't always get their man. After a six month trial the three defendants in the Nortel fraud case have been acquitted of any criminal wrongdoing. And they get to keep the US$12.8 million in bonuses they were paid to bring the company back to financial health. For them the operation was financially highly successful even though the patient died. But then, shit happens, as Martyn Warwick reports. (2)

By unanimous vote the US Federal Appeals court has upheld an earlier ruling by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that the big mobile operators in the US must sign data roaming deals with smaller competitive wireless networks.

Like Alan Ladd in the classic western "Shane", John Chambers the CEO of Cisco has had enough of being bullied, threatened and pushed around. In the movie, Shane puts a couple of .45 slugs into the villain Ryker (played by the great Jack Palance). In the corporate America of 2012, the modern Cisco Kid is using legislation, and his company's long pockets, to curb the extortionate antics of "patent infringement" trolls. It is to be hoped the end effect will be the same. Martyn Warwick reports. (2)

As was widely predicted would happen, US law enforcement agencies are now routinely demanding that mobile operators provide them with subscriber information including location data and the content of text messages as the powers-that-be drive a coach and horses through standards and legislation designed to help protect the public from intrusive surveillance.

Facebook has finally responded to the welter of law suits it faces over its badly managed IPO last month. It seems the main line of its defence will be to pass the buck to the Nasdaq and, basically, blame somebody else - more or less what you would expect from an adolescent company. By Martyn Warwick.
