L'histoire méconnue du tout premier virus informatique.

Interview avec Nicolas, auteur du blog Les Joies du Code.

L’origine du RGPD ou le règlement qui a révolutionné le web.

… population par le régime nazi, l'Allemagne prend conscience très tôt des dangers du fichage informatique. En 1970, la Loi de Hesse (DE) voit le jour. C'est le tout premier texte au monde à encadrer l'usage des ordinateurs par l'administration. Elle servira de boussole à toutes les législations futures. 1978 : loi française Informatique et Libertés. En France, le déclic se produit en 1974 avec le projet "SAFARI". Son but ? Interconnecter tous les fichiers de l'administration publique en utilisant le numéro de sécurité sociale. L'opinion publique s'insurge face au risque d'un État Big Brother. Ce scandale donne naissance à la loi du 6 janvier 1978 et crée la CNIL (Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés). La France se dote ainsi de sa première autorité de contrôle indépendante. 1995 : directive 95/46/CE. Internet commence à pousser ses premiers cris dans les foyers. L'Union européenne comprend qu'elle doit harmoniser ses règles et adopte la Directive 95/46/CE. Le problème ? Une directive n'est pas directement applicable. Chaque pays doit la transposer dans son droit national. Résultat : un véritable patchwork juridique. De plus, à l'ère pré-Google, ce texte est rapidement devenu obsolète face à l'explosion du Big Data. 2012 : proposition de la Commission européenne pour un règlement unifié. Face à la puissance grandissante des géants de la Silicon Valley, la Commission européenne décide de taper du poing sur la table. En 2012, Viviane Reding présente une Proposition 2012 pour unifier les lois de 28 États membres sous une seule et unique bannière. Fini les spécificités locales, place à un règlement unique directement applicable. 25 mai 2018 : entrée en vigueur du RGPD. Le jour J. Après quatre ans de débats et deux ans de transition, le RGPD officiel (UE 2016/679) entre en vigueur. Le message envoyé au monde est limpide : si vous traitez les données de citoyens européens, peu importe où se trouve votre
