<div dir="ltr">Hi<div><br></div><div>I`m also adding some links to this one shared about the Panama Papers, more especifically</div><div><a href="http://www.diplointernetgovernance.org/profiles/blogs/the-largest-in-history-filtration-of-journalism">http://www.diplointernetgovernance.org/profiles/blogs/the-largest-in-history-filtration-of-journalism</a></div><div><br></div><div>Unfortunately, the links I have are only in Spanish but, I wil try to sum it up in English:</div><div><br></div><div>So Panama Papers was an event in which journalists from ICIJ had access to the Panamenian law firm Mossack and Fonseca papers </div><div>Offshore companies in Panama and corruption cases were scrutinized and scandals have snowballed to consequences some may have been following (politicians resignation etc.)</div><div><br></div><div>Interesting to NCs are the debates about privacy, data and countries laws on these matters</div><div><br></div><div>Panamenian lawyers in the South School of Internet Governance in OAS are saying that their country is being unfairly accused of being a tax haven and a place where there are no privacy/data laws. Some of the papers were protected by attorney-client privilege and alleged innocents have already been targeted unlawfully. They imply that EU and US pressure Panama in increasing taxes and data surveillance of international companies and they resist, because they want to follow their own law. Reuters than put up an article saying that there are 22000 laywers in Panama and they say that this is the number of every graduate in Law that ever lived there (so deceased and those who moved are in those stats) - and this would be an effort to discredit their laws once more.</div><div><br></div><div>Also ICIJ curated the Panama Papers leak so there is material which has not been addressed. This lead to a controversy when ICIJ said that they are "not Wikileaks" so they have filtered the material shared online. Julian Assange entered the debate pointing out that all data should have been made available (once more pointing their difference to Wikileaks) and alerting to media manipulation/cherry picking (including an assertion on Google search results being manipulated since it controls 80% of online advertisement)</div><div><br></div><div>Now lawyers and journalists in LAC are trying to sort out each country data protection laws to see what they can get and what can be shared and what can not. So the ripple effect is quite interesting. </div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.infolibre.es/noticias/mundo/2016/04/07/assange_denuncia_manipulacion_los_medios_atribuye_nacimiento_podemos_internet_47562_1022.html">http://www.infolibre.es/noticias/mundo/2016/04/07/assange_denuncia_manipulacion_los_medios_atribuye_nacimiento_podemos_internet_47562_1022.html</a><br></div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://elrobotpescador.com/2016/04/06/no-te-dejes-enganar-este-es-el-objetivo-final-de-los-papeles-de-panama/">https://elrobotpescador.com/2016/04/06/no-te-dejes-enganar-este-es-el-objetivo-final-de-los-papeles-de-panama/</a><br></div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://eju.tv/2016/04/panama-un-pais-hecho-por-y-para-los-abogados/">http://eju.tv/2016/04/panama-un-pais-hecho-por-y-para-los-abogados/</a><br></div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10156716561595364&set=a.10150317711360364.566330.752165363">https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10156716561595364&set=a.10150317711360364.566330.752165363</a></div><div>(manifesto being shared by Panamenians)</div><div><br></div><div>Some info I brought also from SSIG mobile messaging group</div><div><br></div><div>Best</div><div><br></div><div>Renata<br><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Apr 9, 2016 at 11:34 PM, romina florencia Cabrera <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:romicabrera83@gmail.com" target="_blank">romicabrera83@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><p><span lang="en"><span>Dear</span><span>, I share</span> <span>this information</span> <span>sent to me</span> <span>from</span> <span>a group</span> <span>of the OAS;</span> <span>I hope to</span> <span>serve</span> <span>the group and</span> <span>the translation</span> <span>is correct</span><span>.</span> <span>Greetings.</span></span></p><br><br><a href="http://www.diplointernetgovernance.org/?showAddContent=1&xg_source=msg_wel_network" target="_blank">http://www.diplointernetgovernance.org/?showAddContent=1&xg_source=msg_wel_network</a><br></div><div><br> <table style="border-top-width:1px;border-top-style:solid;border-top-color:rgb(170,171,182)">
