New on the RIPE Labs Podcast: Frugal Computing for a Sustainable Internet
Dear colleagues, In the latest episode of the RIPE Labs podcast, I talk to Professor Wim Vanderbauwhede from the University of Glasgow about the carbon footprint of the ICT industry, misleading narratives around digitalisation, and why the notion of frugal computing is needed to move forward: https://labs.ripe.net/author/anastasiya-pak/frugal-computing-for-a-sustainab... I’ve personally learnt so much from this conversation about the environmental impact of our Internet consumption and how we can work towards reducing our digital carbon footprint. And I recommend you to listen to this episode. Best wishes, Anastasiya Pak Marketing & Communications Officer RIPE NCC

The point is more "why are you hosting things in a place where this is a relevant question?". And indeed, why should a website process my personal data when I only want to view a RIPE labs article? - it shouldn't, so the banner needs to go away due to "we're not doing anything that would require consent".

It really is just a podcast, folks (not an article). You can also just go to this link and select your favourite, spyware-free podcast listening app: https://pod.link/1618220736 (Now I’m really hoping that URL doesn’t link to a bunch of spyware!) Chris

Seriously Jim, you call this "spyware"? Really? Shall we pick our battles... I wish our engineers had cared this much about privacy when it came to Internet infrastructure, for example WHOIS and DNS resolvers, and not threw people's private sensitive information out in public for so many years!

But we “solved” this DNS / Whois privacy issues meanwhile, right? So why not solving it for the podcast as well, or right before publishing it?

Yes. IMO anything that harvests Personal Data is spyware, more so when there is no valid reason to gather those data. Clearly, our definitions of spyware are different. Get over it. RIPE is a diverse community with all sorts of different and sometimes conflicting opinions on just about everything. That’s a very healthy and welcome thing IMO.

Jim, I'm puzzled as to why you've posted this on a public mailing list, where you have no idea who the recipients are and how they might be harvesting your personal data :) The RIPE NCC has a call to make about how to host content. Hosting podcasts on third party platforms gets wide distribution and frees up the NCC from the costs and overhead associated with self-hosting podcast content. Bear it in mind that in other forums, people are complaining about the RIPE NCC's expenditure. All podcost sites use cookies. The better ones are more up-front about it, and pop up banners before presenting content (+ cookies). Some will play the content while allowing users to reject "legitimate interest" as a basis for processing PII. This should improve in time in the parts of the world with GDPR (EU + EEA). "Legitimate interest" has traditionally been the basis for some of the more invasive tracking programs, but the CJEU ruled earlier this year that legitimate interest is an inadequate argument to track users using identifiers without the data subject's consent. In regard to consent, the GPDR is clear that consent means "consent, freely given". I.e. there should be no detriment if consent is not given, i.e. no more highwayman "consent or no content" choices.

That's somewhat missing the point. RIPE shouldn't be hosting things at places where you need to click on a cookie banner. Period.

Full support. I might have been a bit *TOO* brief here: what I had in mind was that those who would post an audio piece might actually take the effort to drill the initial link down to the direct MP3 link. Best, -C.

You’re assuming that you are the target audience. RIPE, along with other organisations, produces a lot of content. While it will obviously share it with its members via this list and others, members are not *the* target audience for a lot of this content. They might be part of the broader audience, but a lot of this content is aimed at a much broader public.

Dear Randy, all, To keep things transparent and improve compliance with legal requirements around cookies, before our readers view any third-party embedded content on RIPE Labs, we let them know that the third party might place cookies and process their personal data. We also think it’s important that no cookies are forced on our readers - so we make it clear what the third-party content is and who it’s from, and readers can then choose whether to accept it or not. As for the use of third-party embedded content on RIPE Labs, this is limited to YouTube videos, the podcasts hosted on Acast, and some visualisations we've built using Flourish Studio. We use these platforms mainly because they make it very easy for readers to view and interact with content in ways that would be difficult and costly to reproduce in-house. You can still read our articles without choosing to view these particular bits of content. And with regards to the podcast, you can listen to all of our episodes on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or several other platforms. The important thing here is that the choice rests with our readers. I understand that you would prefer not to have to make that choice and that all content should be available directly from the RIPE NCC without any third party involved. However, these services allow us to make our content available to more people via syndication and make the content much more engaging in ways we’re not capable of directly. So we think we’ve reached a good balance here between not forcing anything on readers but at the same time making our articles as engaging, accessible and discoverable as possible. Best regards, Alun Davies RIPE Labs Editor

appreciate the consideration.

for an mp3?

not exactly. the important thing is the ncc's outsourcing choices are creating non-readers. randy
