Becoming and being a biobank donor: The role of relationships and ethics
2020
Relational aspects, such as involvement of donor’s relatives or friends in the decision-making on participation in a research biobank, providing relatives’ health data to researchers, or sharing research findings with relatives should be considered when reflecting on ethical aspects of research biobanks. The aim of this paper is to explore what the role of donor’s relatives and friends is in the process of becoming and being a biobank donor and which ethical issues arise in this context. We performed qualitative analysis of 40 qualitative semi-structured interviews with biobank donors and researchers. The results show that relatedness to relatives or other types of close relationships playe…
The evaluation of workers by customers as a method of control and monitoring in firms: Digital reputation and the European Union's General Data Prote…
2021
As a method of surveillance and monitoring, the evaluation of workers by customers and employers and the disclosure of the results pose a series of challenges for the current legal framework of the European Union (EU). Employees subject to such evaluations are exposed to a far more intense and wider degree of monitoring of their work than traditional workers. The phenomenon arises from the adoption of a customer perspective, seeking to make work observable at all times, without any cost to firms. In this light, the author analyses the EU's General Data Protection Regulation, which establishes very specific restrictions when requesting and disclosing information about workers.

The Law of Service Robots
2014
Il settore della robotica attiene alla progettazione e costruzione di un complesso variegato ed eterogeneo di macchine, quali robot, soldati e chirurghi, sistemi automatizzati di trasporto aereo, terrestre e marittimo, applicazioni industriali nell’ambito manifatturiero o nella agricoltura, robotica di servizio e altro ancora. Si tratta di un settore per eccellenza interdisciplinare la varietà di ambiti e applicazioni del quale fa sì che si discuta ancora sulla definizione di robot e su alcune sue proprietà: l’autonomia, l’adattatività o i gradi di interattività. Su queste basi, il problema, attualmente, non è tanto quello di determinare se e in che modo i robot ”agiscano”; la questione ver…

Cloud Computing e protezione dei dati nel web 3.0
2014
Il cloud computing è un ritrovato deputato all'archiviazione, elaborazione e uso di dati su computer remoti, grazie al quale gli utenti hanno a disposizione una potenza di elaborazione quasi illimitata, non sono tenuti ad investire grandi capitali per soddisfare le proprie esigenze e possono accedere ai loro dati ovunque sia disponibile una connessione Internet. Il presente scritto si propone di contribuire ad una migliore comprensione della nuova tecnologia e alla ricostruzione dell'attuale (invero scarno) quadro giuridico, ciò che può aiutare a superare i principali problemi posti dalla nuvola al diritto dei privati e riconducibili, primariamente, alla protezione dei dati, al diritto dei …
Oblio, identità e verità (parte seconda)
2022
Può esistere un diritto a dimenticare a fronte di indiscutibile diritto a ricordare, senza che si consegni alle Corti il potere di riscrivere la storia eliminando frammenti della sua memoria? È attorno tale interrogativo che si snodano le riflessioni dell’autore, dirette ad accertare l’esistenza e la natura di un diritto all’oblio, inteso come diritto ad essere dimenticati. La rivoluzione digitale ha consentito la creazione di un archivio infinito e permanente, ma legittimo appare il dubbio circa l’opportunità di un suo indiscriminato sviluppo e di una illimitata tutela del diritto alla memoria, a fronte di istanze di tutela individuale di dignità umana. La risposta, secondo l’autore, è nel…

2023
Glosowany wyrok dotyczy dwóch istotnych zagadnień związanych ze stosowaniem przez jednostki organizacyjne Kościoła katolickiego na terytorium Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej auto- nomicznych, szczegółowych zasad ochrony osób fizycznych w związku z przetwarzaniem ich danych. Pierwsze odnosi się do możliwości dalszego stosowania tychże autonomicznych, szczegółowych zasad po wejściu w życie RODO. Drugie – zdolności powołania i statusu niezależnego odrębnego organu nadzorczego – Kościelnego Inspektora Ochrony Danych. Aprobując stanowisko zawarte w wyroku NSA, w glosie przedstawiono argumenty przemawiające za tym, że w momencie wejścia w życie RODO w Kościele katolickim istniała regulacja dotyczącą pr…
