Indeed,<br><br>Bill literally stole my words<br> this news is not that new either. we were in hyderabad first time such an issue was raised by my government (totally overlooking the IGF... but maybe even not knowing that much about the IGF..). despite what echoes outside italy you have to consider that this "project" is part of berlusconi's & Co. lrger "project" to slowly move towards a -how can i define it without sounding drastic?- totalitarian/unilateral/individual "regime" (i guess it is more drastic than what i wanted but sounds like the truth).<br>
he is not aware of implications of this statements and i believe preoccupations expressed abroad and by all of you should be seized down (if this can ever be a re-sizing) to the fact that there is a "leader" who speaks as he does and is potentially dangerous. but, in this specific regard, only potentially. italian policies on data retention are pretty much strict and ujust, though but they are comlementary tot he overall limitation of civil rights in relation to the necessity to guarantee "security". after all, believe me, where he can do damages within the italian boundaries, he is already doing. nonetheless, the "worldwide threat" posed by my government is, in my opinion, more political/ethical than actual. none would follow berlusconi path... maybe russia, as bill says, but maybe even they are clever that us...at the end of the day, before coming out of the blue with such a statement at the next G8 i believe (better, hope) berlusconi will re-consider considering consequences that such a proposal might have. it is not convinient, after all, to go down this way and he might realize it before it is too late. in other words, it is outrageous, but not realistic.<br>

And the 2000 summit in Okinawa addressed the global digital divide and launched the dot force...<br><br>There's lots of forum shopping going on with respect to security (broadly/vaguely/problematically defined) and it wouldn't be entirely surprising for the G8 to be brought into play for a related statement, but it's hard to imagine most member governments getting behind something like what the Italian senate is reported to have done. Maybe Russia...<br>

I was particularly interested in any previous mention by the G8 as a group<br>
to issue some kind of statement or guideline, as Berlusconi seems to be<br>
suggesting.<br>

They've done specific work on "High Tech Crime" (which is in effect more about retaining traffic data). I'm not aware of anything in the area of Content filtering - but I don't monitor it regularly.<div>
