Hi all, in Italy few days ago we've released a Law on regulating the uses of Trojans by Law Enforcements, otherwise discussed within internet freedom communities as "Government Hacking" topic.
The Law has been deposited to Parliament by the MP Stefano Quintarelli of group "Civic and Innovators" with the help from me and it's under public consultation for 45 days. The law proposal has been worked on since 2015, it's not just a juridical act but enter into the context of operational and technical aspects of regulating the uses of trojans by LEAs. It has evolved with the contributions from many institutions (prosecutors, antimafia, judges, police, intelligence), civil society NGOs, juridical and technical researchers from universities, computer forensics experts and such. It's a highly balanced in the balance between operational efficiency of security agencies and guarantees for the defense with a highly sophisticated regulatory proposal, especially compared to the over simplicistic approach taken for example by US (Rule 41), UK (IP Bill), France and Spain. Here's an english summary: http://www.civicieinnovatori.it/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Sintesi-PDL-captatori-EN.pdf Here's the full proposal along with the juridical/technical/operational regulations draft (in italian): http://www.civicieinnovatori.it/?page_id=211 For those who are intereted into the topic of policy advocacy and policy making, we'd be interested in supporting other advocacy group to follow a similar approach. Fabio Pietrosanti (naif) p.s. It's not a Law in force, it's a Law Proposal, now it's up the Parliament to make the right decisions! p.p.s. It does not address anything specific to uses of foreign intelligence nor it does not address anything related to export control -- Liberationtech is public & archives are searchable on Google.
