Aké údaje o Vás uchováva Váš mobilný operátor? Malte Spitz nemal veľké obavy, keď požiadal svojho operátora v Nemecku, aby mu poskytol údaje, ktoré má o ňom uchované. Po niekoľkých nezodpovedaných žiadostiach a žalobe Spitz dostal 35 830 riadkov údajov – podrobnú, takmer minúta po minúte správu o polroku jeho života.

01:10
I'm a child of 1984,
12
54494
2049
Som ročník 1984
01:12
and I live in the city of Berlin.
13
56543
3361
a žijem v Berlíne.
01:15
Let's go back to that time, to this city.
14
59904
5680
Vráťme sa do tej doby, do toho mesta.
01:21
Here you can see
15
65584
1239
Tu vidíte,
01:22
how hundreds of thousands of people
16
66823
2184
ako sa stotisíce ľudí
01:24
stood up and protested for change.
17
69007
4239
vzopreli a protestovali za zmenu.
01:29
This is autumn 1989,
18
73246
3186
Ide o jeseň 1989.
01:32
and imagine that all those people standing up
19
76432
4623
Predstavte si, že by všetci tí ľudia, ktorí sa vzopreli
01:36
and protesting for change had a
20
81055
2809
a protestovali za zmenu,
01:39
mobile phone in their pocket.
21
83864
3160
mali vo vrecku mobilný telefón.
01:42
Who in the room has a mobile phone with you?
22
87024
1727
Kto v tejto miestnosti má so sebou mobilný telefón?
01:44
Hold it up.
23
88751
1135
Vytiahnite ho.
01:45
Hold your phones up, hold your phones up!
24
89886
3129
Vytiahnite svoje telefóny, ukážte svoje telefóny!
01:48
Hold it up. An Android, a Blackberry, wow.
25
93015
2726
Ukážte ich. Android, Blackberry, úžasné.
01:51
That's a lot. Almost everybody today has a mobile phone.
26
95741
6393
Je ich veľa. V súčasnosti má mobilný telefón takmer každý.
01:58
But today I will talk about me and my mobile phone,
27
102134
4552
Dnes však budem hovoriť o mne a mojom mobilnom telefóne,
02:02
and how it changed my life.
28
106686
3517
a ako mi zmenil život.
02:06
And I will talk about this.
29
110203
3580
A budem hovoriť aj o tomto.
02:09
These are 35,830 lines of information.
30
113783
5103
Toto je 35 830 riadkov údajov.
02:14
Raw data.
31
118886
2763
Pôvodných dát.
02:17
And why are these informations there?
32
121649
4626
A prečo tieto údaje existujú?
02:22
Because in the summer of 2006,
33
126275
2981
Pretože Európska komisia v lete 2006
02:25
the E.U. Commission tabled a directive.
34
129256
3487
predložila istú smernicu.
02:28
This directive [is] called Data Retention Directive.
35
132743
4665
Ide o smernicu o uchovávaní údajov.
02:33
This directive says that each phone company in Europe,
36
137408
4359
V tejto smernici sa píše, že každý operátor v Európe
02:37
each Internet service company all over Europe,
37
141767
4497
ako aj každý poskytovateľ internetu v celej Európe
02:42
has to store a wide range of information about the users.
38
146264
5279
musí uchovávať širokú škálu používateľských údajov.
02:47
Who calls whom? Who sends whom an email?
39
151543
3161
Kto komu zavolá? Kto komu pošle email?
02:50
Who sends whom a text message?
40
154704
2144
Kto komu pošle esemesku?
02:52
And if you use your mobile phone, where you are.
41
156848
4335
A keď použijete mobilný telefón, tak aj to, kde sa nachádzate.
02:57
All this information is stored for at least six months,
42
161183
4452
Všetky tieto údaje váš operátor či poskytovateľ internetu
03:01
up to two years by your phone company
43
165635
3284
uchováva minimálne 6 mesiacov,
03:04
or your Internet service provider.
44
168919
6072
maximálne 2 roky.
03:10
And all over Europe, people stood up and said,
45
174991
3660
Po celej Európe sa ľudia vzopreli a povedali:
03:14
"We don't want this."
46
178651
2507
„Toto nechceme.“
03:17
They said, we don't want this data retention.
47
181158
3398
Povedali, nechceme toto uchovávanie údajov.
03:20
We want self-determination in the digital age,
48
184556
3537
V digitálnom veku chceme slobodné rozhodovanie
03:23
and we don't want that phone companies and Internet companies
49
188093
2999
a nechceme, aby operátori a provideri
03:26
have to store all this information about us.
50
191092
3449
o nás museli uchovávať všetky tieto údaje.
03:30
They were lawyers, journalists, priests,
51
194541
2683
Boli to právnici, novinári, kňazi...
03:33
they all said: "We don't want this."
52
197224
3156
a všetci povedali: „Toto nechceme.“
03:36
And here you can see, like 10 thousands of people
53
200380
3067
A tu vidíte, ako desaťtisíce ľudí
03:39
went out on the streets of Berlin and said,
54
203447
2656
vyšli do ulíc Berlína a povedali:
03:42
"Freedom, not fear."
55
206103
3207
„Slobodu, nie strach.“
03:45
And some even said, this would be Stasi 2.0.
56
209310
4449
Niektorí dokonca povedali, že by to bola Stasi 2.0.
03:49
Stasi was the secret police in East Germany.
57
213759
6037
Stasi bola štátna bezpečnosť vo Východnom Nemecku.
03:55
And I also ask myself, does it really work?
58
219796
4481
Položil som si otázku: „No funguje to vôbec?“
04:00
Can they really store all this information about us?
59
224277
3432
Naozaj o nás môžu uchovávať všetky tieto údaje?
04:03
Every time I use my mobile phone?
60
227709
3630
Zakaždým, keď použijem svoj mobilný telefón?
04:07
So I asked my phone company, Deutsche Telekom,
61
231354
3756
A tak som požiadal môjho operátora, Deustche Telekom,
04:11
which was at that time the largest phone company in Germany,
62
235110
3765
ktorý bol v tom čase najväčším operátorom v Nemecku,
04:14
and I asked them, please,
63
238875
1396
požiadal som: „Prosím,
04:16
send me all the information you have stored about me.
64
240271
4356
pošlite mi všetky údaje, ktoré máte o mne uložené."
04:20
And I asked them once, and I asked them again,
65
244642
2159
Požiadal som raz, požiadal som ešte raz,
04:22
and I got no real answer. It was only blah blah answers.
66
246801
3176
no nedostal som žiadnu poriadnu odpoveď. Iba samé bla bla bla.
04:25
But then I said, I want to have this information,
67
249977
3112
Potom som však odpovedal: „Tie údaje chcem mať,
04:28
because this is my life you are protocoling.
68
253089
4752
pretože si zaznamenávate môj život."
04:33
So I decided to start a lawsuit against them,
69
257841
3992
Tak som sa rozhodol dať ich na súd,
04:37
because I wanted to have this information.
70
261833
2960
pretože som tie údaje chcel mať.
04:40
But Deutsche Telekom said, no,
71
264793
2000
Ale odpoveď Deutsche Telekomu bola: „Nie,
04:42
we will not give you this information.
72
266793
2752
tieto údaje vám neposkytneme."
04:45
So at the end, I had a settlement with them.
73
269545
4217
Nakoniec došlo k mimosúdnemu vyrovnaniu.
04:49
I'll put down the lawsuit
74
273762
1359
Ja stiahnem žalobu
04:51
and they will send me all the information I ask for.
75
275121
3208
a oni mi pošlú všetky údaje, o ktoré žiadam.
04:54
Because in the mean time,
76
278329
1217
Pretože medzitým
04:55
the German Constitutional Court ruled
77
279546
2237
nemecký Ústavný súd rozhodol,
04:57
that the implementation of this E.U. directive
78
281783
3817
že implementácia tejto smernice EÚ
05:01
into German law was unconstitutional.
79
285600
4419
do nemeckých zákonov je protiústavná.
05:05
So I got this ugly brown envelope
80
290019
2118
Takže mi prišla táto škaredá hnedá obálka
05:08
with a C.D. inside.
81
292137
2568
a vo vnútri bolo cédečko.
05:10
And on the C.D., this was on.
82
294705
3080
A toto bolo na ňom.
05:13
Thirty-five thousand eight hundred thirty lines of information.
83
297785
5361
35 830 riadkov údajov.
05:19
At first I saw it, and I said, okay,
84
303146
2415
Keď som to prvýkrat videl, povedal som si:
05:21
it's a huge file. Okay.
85
305561
3403
„Okej, je to obrovský súbor. Okej."
05:24
But then after a while I realized,
86
308964
2517
Ale po chvíli som si uvedomil,
05:27
this is my life.
87
311481
2288
že toto je môj život.
05:29
This is six months of my life,
88
313769
1784
Tento súbor je 6 mesiacov
05:31
into this file.
89
315553
4298
môjho života.
05:35
So I was a little bit skeptical, what should I do with it?
90
319851
4250
Bol som trochu skeptický, čo by som mal s tým urobiť?
05:40
Because you can see where I am,
91
324101
3179
Pretože vidíte, kde sa nachádzam,
05:43
where I sleep at night,
92
327280
2208
kde v noci spím,
05:45
what I am doing.
93
329488
4704
čo robím.
05:50
But then I said, I want to go out with this information.
94
334192
4593
Potom som si ale povedal, že chcem tieto údaje zverejniť.
05:54
I want to make them public.
95
338785
1776
Chcem, aby uzreli svetlo sveta.
05:56
Because I want to show the people what does data retention mean.
96
340561
4414
Pretože chcem ľuďom ukázať, čo znamená uchovávanie údajov.
06:00
So together with Zeit Online and Open Data City, I did this.
97
344975
5264
Tak sme spolu s Zeit Online a Open Data City vytvorili toto.
06:06
This is a visualization of six months of my life.
98
350239
4128
Toto je vizualizácia šiestich mesiacov môjho života.
06:10
You can zoom in and zoom out,
99
354367
1888
Môžete ju priblížiť alebo vzdialiť,
06:12
you can wind back and fast forward.
100
356255
2449
môžete pretočiť dozadu alebo dopredu.
06:14
You can see every step I take.
101
358704
3418
Vidíte každý môj krok.
06:18
And you can even see
102
362122
2325
Dokonca môžete vidieť,
06:20
how I go from Frankfurt by train
103
364447
3049
ako idem vlakom z Frankfurtu
06:23
to Cologne, and how often I call in between.
104
367496
4232
do Kolína, a ako často cestou telefonujem.
06:27
All this is possible with this information.
105
371728
4733
Tieto údaje to všetko umožňujú.
06:32
That's a little bit scary.
106
376461
5455
Je to trochu desivé.
06:37
But it is not only about me.
107
381916
5500
Ale netýka sa to len mňa.
06:43
It's about all of us.
108
387416
2400
Týka sa to nás všetkých.
06:45
First, it's only like, I call my wife and she calls me,
109
389816
4724
Najprv iba zavolám manželke a ona zavolá mne,
06:50
and we talk to each other a couple of times.
110
394540
2671
a párkrát spolu hovoríme.
06:53
And then there are some friends calling me,
111
397211
2462
A potom mi volá niekoľko priateľov,
06:55
and they call each other.
112
399673
1928
ktorí si telefonujú aj navzájom.
06:57
And after a while you are calling you,
113
401601
2119
A po chvíli vy voláte jemu
06:59
and you are calling you, and you have this great
114
403720
2264
a on volá vám, a vytvoríte túto ohromnú
07:01
communication network.
115
405984
2424
komunikačnú sieť.
07:04
But you can see how your people are communicating with each other,
116
408408
4481
Vidíte, ako vaše kontakty komunikujú navzájom,
07:08
what times they call each other, when they go to bed.
117
412889
3303
kedy spolu telefonujú, kedy idú spať.
07:12
You can see all of this.
118
416192
2154
Toto všetko tu môžete vidieť.
07:14
You can see the hubs, like who are the leaders in the group.
119
418346
4015
Vidíte centrá, kto je lídrom skupiny.
07:18
If you have access to this information,
120
422361
3480
Ak máte prístup k týmto údajom,
07:21
you can see what your society is doing.
121
425841
3847
môžete vidieť, čo vaša spoločnosť robí .
07:25
If you have access to this information,
122
429688
2625
Ak máte prístup k týmto údajom,
07:28
you can control your society.
123
432313
4417
môžete vašu spoločnosť kontrolovať.
07:32
This is a blueprint for countries like China and Iran.
124
436730
4976
Ide o detailný plán pre krajiny ako Čína alebo Irán.
07:37
This is a blueprint how to survey your society,
125
441706
4168
Ide o detailný plán ako sledovať vašu spoločnosť,
07:41
because you know who talks to whom,
126
445874
2616
pretože viete, kto s kým hovorí,
07:44
who sends whom an email, all this is possible
127
448490
2881
kto komu pošle email; toto všetko je možné,
07:47
if you have access to this information.
128
451371
2698
ak máte prístup k týmto údajom.
07:49
And this information is stored for at least six months
129
454069
3037
A tieto údaje sa v Európe uchovávajú
07:53
in Europe, up to two years.
130
457106
4987
minimálne 6 mesiacov, maximálne 2 roky.
07:57
Like I said at the beginning,
131
462093
1615
Ako som na začiatku povedal,
07:59
imagine that all those people on the streets of Berlin
132
463708
3433
predstavte si, že by všetci tí ľudia v uliciach Berlína
08:03
in autumn of 1989
133
467141
2448
na jeseň 1989
08:05
had a mobile phone in their pocket.
134
469589
3023
mali vo vrecku mobilný telefón.
08:08
And the Stasi would have known who took part at this protest,
135
472612
3969
Stasi by vedela, kto sa zúčastnil tohto protestu,
08:12
and if the Stasi would have known
136
476581
1687
a keby Stasi vedela,
08:14
who are the leaders behind it,
137
478268
3494
kto boli lídri protestu,
08:17
this may never have happened.
138
481762
3221
možno by sa to nikdy nebolo stalo.
08:20
The fall of the Berlin Wall would maybe not [have been] there.
139
484983
3031
Berlínsky múr by možno nikdy nepadol.
08:23
And in the aftermath, also not the fall of the Iron Curtain.
140
488014
3616
Dôsledkom toho by nepadla ani železná opona.
08:27
Because today, state agencies and companies
141
491630
4608
Pretože štátne firmy a agentúry dnes
08:32
want to store as much information as they can get about us,
142
496238
4289
o nás chcú uchovávať toľko údajov, koľko len môžu,
08:36
online and offline.
143
500527
1880
online a offline.
08:38
They want to have the possibility to track our lives,
144
502407
4207
Chcú mať možnosť sledovať naše životy
08:42
and they want to store them for all time.
145
506614
3848
a chcú tie údaje navždy uchovať.
08:46
But self-determination and living in the digital age
146
510462
4443
Ale slobodné rozhodovanie a život v digitálnom veku
08:50
is no contradiction.
147
514905
2697
si neodporujú.

But you have to fight for your self-determination today.

Dnes však musíte bojovať za slobodné rozhodovanie.
08:58
You have to fight for it every day.

Musíte zaň bojovať každý deň.
09:02
So, when you go home,
150

Takže, keď prídete domov,
09:05
tell your friends
151
529550
1656
povedzte svojim priateľom,
09:07
that privacy is a value of the 21st century,
152
531206
4311
že súkromie je hodnota 21. storočia
09:11
and it's not outdated.
153
535517
2520
a nie je to prežitok.
09:13
When you go home, tell your representative
154
538037
4066
Keď prídete domov, povedzte svojmu poslancovi,
09:18
only because companies and state agencies have the possibility
155
542103
4479
že ak firmy a štátne agentúry majú možnosť
09:22
to store certain information, they don't have to do it.
156
546582
5416
uchovávať isté údaje, neznamená, že to musia robiť.
09:27
And if you don't believe me,
157
551998
2345
A ak mi neveríte,
09:30
ask your phone company what information they store about you.
158
554343
7623
spýtajte sa svojho operátora, aké údaje o vás uchováva.
09:37
So, in the future, every time you use your mobile phone,
159
561966
6860
Takže zakaždým, keď v budúcnosti použijete mobilný telefón,
09:44
let it be a reminder to you
160
568826
3072
pripomeňte si,
09:47
that you have to fight for self-determination in the digital age.
161
571898

že za slobodné rozhodovanie v digitálnom veku musíte bojovať.
09:51
Thank you.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Malte Spitz - Politician, data activistMalte Spitz asked his cell phone carrier what it knew about him -- and mapped what he found out.
Why you should listen
German Green Party politician Malte Spitz is an expert on digital change and privacy.
In 2009, Spitz went to court to obtain the information that his cell phone operator, Deutsche Telekom, gathered (and kept) about his activity. The results astonished him. Over the course of six months, they had tracked his geographical location and what he was doing with his phone more than 35,000 times. Working with the German online news site Zeit Online, an infographic was created that shows Spitz's activity across an interactive timeline, combined DT's geolocation data with information relating to his life as a politician, such as Twitter feeds, blog entries and website. By pushing the play button, viewers can set off on a detail-rich trip through six months of his life. And more, because he keeps asking the telecom company for his most recent data.
Spitz is the author of the book What Are You Doing with My Data? and has contributed to international publications, such as the New York Times and The Guardian. Spitz lives with his wife and two kids in Berlin.
