5. 1. Data
Statistics are based, above all,
on the police experience, on
investigations of International

11. Clash of cultures
Talking about privacy in Europe
Europe: “Data protections”, “self-
determination”, “habeas data”,
“consent”
We feel menaced by
GPS of our celullars
Geolocation
Right to be forgotten

12. Privacy concerns in the 1st
world
Security - Surveillance

15. Conclusion
Not data about the
volumen of this “dirty”
business”
Unequality = lack of
dignity
Profs. Loreto Corredoira & Sabela
Serrano, UCM, loretoc@ucm.es
16. Conclusion
Privacy is of course a human
right; but we see it tight now as a
luxury since inequality exists.
Hastiness, frivolity and the need
for instant news expose children,
women and civilians caught in
the middle of wars to
photographers and drone
cameras. Profs. Loreto Corredoira & Sabela
Serrano, UCM, loretoc@ucm.es
17. Conclusion
Again, demanding a right to
consent sounds insulting.
Perhaps because we
“consider that certain human
beings have more dignity than
others” (as said by Pope
Francis on Laudatio, Si, n.
90). Profs. Loreto Corredoira & Sabela

Under the proposed topic for the Law and CPT sections joint panel, the authors aim to study the relationship between communication and information technologies and citizen rights, privacy and justice.
This paper is part of other ongoing research where we´re analizing the aforementioned concepts (privacy, pornography, human trafficking, child abuse, money laundering) from a legal perspective, and, on the other side, they will follow international news coverage of these issues through three scenarios.
Now we will be more focused on migratory crisis and war
The image of children in migratory crises and war; prostitution and illegal business practices (Panama Papers) and the use of images of women or children when reporting sexual crimes and pedophilia.

Clash of cultures about “privacy”
Just 2 image to show view about privacy in Europe and Internet society
We are not in same conditions
The clash of cultures is shocking when we talk about privacy. In Europe, the terms “data protection”, “digital intimacy”, “habeas data” refer to aspects of private life that, since personal data is vulnerable when using ICTs, demands many more technical, political and legal safeguards to protect the privacy of telephone or electronic communications, the use of big data by big corporations or the threat of massive surveillance by democratic states, drone regulation, etc. However, the truth of the matter is that there is a much deeper dilemma. In a globalized society, it seems that we have grown used to the idea that there are minors, women, victims and citizens that belong to different categories.
We don´t find it surprising anymore to see the image of children who are victims of international conflicts in our TVs. A paradigmatic case is this picture of a child in Greek shores that shocked the world, but that according to Sister Guadalupe from Aleppo (Siria), was a mere montage.
But we need to ask ourselves what is more worrying: the doctoring of reality to make it fit the news or the fact that Western society needs to see such images (we need such products, understood as luxuries) to gain awareness and pay attention to tragedies as terrible as the war in Siria or the refugee crisis, trampling the basic human rights of these people in the process. What do we need to recognize that the right to life is an universal right that belongs to us all?
