Children, Young People and the Smartphone Boom \u2014 Balancing Protection and Education<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Sessions<\/strong>: Session &#39;Children and youth: the rise of smartphones&#39; (Sala de Juntas)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The session examined how the rapid spread of smartphones and tablets affects minors&#39; privacy and safety, calling for parental-control tools and digital education [1][2]<\/li>\n<li>Researchers, child-protection NGOs and industry shared the table: Maialen Garmendia (EU Kids Online), Guillermo C\u00e1novas (Prot\u00e9geles) and Sebasti\u00e1n Muriel of social network Tuenti [1][2]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>2. The Cost of Privacy \u2014 Cookie Rules and Cloud Security<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Sessions<\/strong>: Session &#39;The cost of privacy in Internet business models: cookies and cloud&#39;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Panellists analysed the sustainability of ad-funded business models against the EU&#39;s revised cookie rules and public unease over behavioural advertising [1][2]<\/li>\n<li>The security-privacy balance in cloud services was debated in terms of responsibility, applicable law and globalisation, with data-protection scholar Jos\u00e9 Luis Pi\u00f1ar among the speakers [1][2]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>3. Intellectual Property and the Digital Future \u2014 From the Sinde Law to SOPA and ACTA<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Sessions<\/strong>: Session &#39;Intellectual property and other measures for the digital future&#39;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The panel surveyed the copyright battles of the day \u2014 Spain&#39;s Sinde Law, the US SOPA\/PIPA bills and the ACTA treaty \u2014 and debated redesigning law, business models and skills [1][2]<\/li>\n<li>The balance between creators&#39; rights and access to information was already framed here, a thread running through to the EU copyright directive a decade later [1][2]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>4. Open Government and Cyber-Democracy \u2014 On the Eve of Spain&#39;s Transparency Law<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Sessions<\/strong>: Session &#39;Open government, participation and cyber-democracy&#39; (Aula Magna)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Speakers clarified open data, transparency and participation concepts while debating Spain&#39;s forthcoming Transparency Law and the Open Government Partnership action plan presented in Brasilia [1][2]<\/li>\n<li>Practitioners from both government and civil society took part, including Nagore de los R\u00edos (Basque Government), Mar Cabra (Fundaci\u00f3n Civio) and Miguel \u00c1ngel Gonzalo (Congress of Deputies) [1][2]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Three-Minute Short Talk \u2014 Your Questions Answered<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Q. What did the meeting decide?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. Nothing binding \u2014 it was a dialogue. Conclusions on seven themes were documented as &#39;messages&#39; and carried to EuroDIG in Stockholm and the UN IGF in Baku.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. What was the most contentious topic?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. Copyright. In the year of worldwide protests against SOPA, PIPA and ACTA \u2014 plus Spain&#39;s own Sinde Law \u2014 the clash between protecting creators and keeping the Internet open was debated head-on.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. Why does it matter?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. Children&#39;s smartphone use and cookie rules became global regulatory battlegrounds soon after, and the meeting&#39;s sign-language-interpreted, streamed format was an early model of inclusive governance debate.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is Spain IGF?
