Business people discussing over work culture in meeting

May 5, 2018 in

In this 39th issue of Lte magazine we are dealing with the protection of personal data as previously announced.

Personal data is all this information that makes it possible to identify natural persons directly or indirectly by means of another identifier or by grouping various data.

For internet giants in particular, personal data is an essential source of wealth creation. Moreover, thousands of businesses were created by selling the geolocation of users, here and there, and thrive by recording and exploiting the movements of cellphone owners.

The protection of our personal data, including those of geolocation remains a very complex societal issue and invites us to take a serious interest in it.

In order to keep up with the evolution of technology, the regulatory framework for the protection of personal data varies from one country to another. For example, in Europe, since May 2018 the European Data Protection Regulation (EDPR) frames the provisions for the protection of personal data of European Union citizens.

To better understand and deepen the protection of personal data, we invite our readers who are most interested in the GDPR specific to Europe, to consult the work carried out by the European Commission via the link . On the other hand, for the zone outside Europe, Mr. Christophe Ponsard ( CETIC Belgique) and Mr. Mounir Touzani (INRAE Toulouse) explain to us in an article: “Assessment and implications of the GDPR for Moroccan service providers in 2021”.

In Morocco, it is the National Commission for the Control of Personal Data Protection (CNDP), which oversees the application of the regulations on the protection of personal data under Law 09-08. On this occasion, we offer you two articles: the first one, is the extract of the interview realized with Si Omar Seghrouchni, president of the CNDP, and the second one, presented by Si Sbihi, researcher in management and where he examines the law 09-08.

From the same perspective of personal data and to enrich the previous contributions, Mr. Jana Subramanian, expert in the field of regulation of personal data protection and cloud at SAP, offers us: "Perspectives on the future of data privacy and challenges. In the same sense, Mr. Senhaji ABDELAZIZ Doctor of Law, lawyer and former head of the legislative department at the Ministry of Finance in Morocco, proposes: "Cloud Computing and the protection of sensitive data".

Certainly, the implementation of regulatory frameworks for personal data protection forces companies to organize themselves to face it, but in reality the majority of users are unaware of the destiny of their data and lack time to read all the conditions when online. For example, in the United States, according to a study by Carnegie Mellon University, the average American signs nearly 1,500 terms of use documents per year without actually reading them. That's 76 days of reading.

To ensure the protection of personal data, some actors put forward the idea of setting up a global data code, as was done with the birth of the civil code and the social code at the arrival of the two industrial revolutions. In our opinion, it is necessary to find another planetary solution in order to properly identify the problem of personal data protection.

In the Information and Communication Technologies and Artificial Intelligence (ICT / AI) section we suggest an article: « Enabling A Competitive Mobile Sector in Emerging Markets Through the Development of Tower Companies». By Georges V. Houngbonon, Carlo Maria Rossotto, and Davide Strusan who work at the IFC. We would like to thank International Finance Corporation for its trust in Lte magazine.

In the open forum section, we propose two texts: The first is an article by Ata-Ilah "And yet she learns". The second is an extract from an interview with Mr. Bertrand Piccard, which we offer on the occasion of the 26th United Nations Conference of the Parties on Climate Change (COP26) in England in early November 2021. Remember that Bertrand Piccard, who flew around the world in a solar plane in 2012, is currently President of the Solar Impulse Foundation acting in the ecology.

We would like to inform you that Mr. Secretary General of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) appreciated the article "Accelerating digital transformation in these difficult times", which was recently published on Lte magazine and signed by Ahmed Khaouja.

We would also like to congratulate our colleague Mohamed Daoud for having been ranked among the 2% of the best and most influential researchers in the world of scientific research for the year 2021. For the record during the number 37 of Lte.ma we had conducted an interview with M. Daoud on the current state of quantum computing.
