The European Commission proposed the EU Digital COVID Certificate for safe travel. It is free of charge, secure, and accessible to all. It is available in digital format and on paper, and it will be proof that a person has been vaccinated against COVID-19, tested negative, or recovered from an infection. The EU Commission has completed the procedures for the certificate launch in June, and the Member States have started implementing it. The EU gateway verifies the security features contained in the QR codes of all certificates. The EU gateway will allow citizens and authorities to be sure that the certificates are authentic. During this process, no personal data is exchanged or retained.

On the other hand, the US has confirmed that there won't be a national app, leaving the choice to states. Some states have banned the apps as examples of government overreach. Different countries are exploring leveraging vaccine certificates. The debate persists on vaccine inequality at a global level, and such vaccine passports further magnify the disparities across populations.

While the adoption of such COVID-19 vaccine passports scales up and travel picks up across geographies, the development community needs to be ready to integrate vaccine passport capability across multiple use cases such as immigration, travel, hospitality, health care, facility management, and much more. There are over a thousand libraries available specifically on COVID-19 vaccine passports as well as good health practices. The kandi collection on COVID-19 Vaccine Passports showcases reusable libraries from the EU Digital COVID Certificate, previously named the EU Digital Green Certificate, and multiple other providers and emerging solutions from the Linux Foundation Public Health (LFPH). The libraries span across issuance, wallets, verification, testing, and analytics of COVID-19 vaccine passports.

Amazon was recently fined $886 million for EU data privacy. The Luxembourg National Commission for Data Protection (CNPD) imposed the fine on Amazon Europe in a July 16 decision, the company disclosed in a regulatory filing. Amazon further stated that they strongly disagree with the CNPD’s ruling, and intended to appeal against it. In 2019, Google was fined a GDPR penalty of €50 million.

The penalty stems from the 2018 complaint by French privacy rights group La Quadrature du Net, to ensure Big Tech companies don’t use consumer data to manipulate their behavior for political or commercial purposes. It was filed on behalf of more than 10,000 customers and alleged that Amazon manipulates customers for commercial means by choosing what advertising and information they receive. The complaint also targeted Apple, Facebook, Google, and LinkedIn.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the strictest privacy and security law in the world. The regulation was put into effect on May 25, 2018. While it has been in effect for a while, complying to its 99 Articles and 173 Recitals of the Regulation could be difficult as seen with the case with the tech majors. The GDPR has inspired other legislations, such as Brazil’s LGPD to the CCPA in California. Hence compliance is critical for businesses around the world.

Over 850 footballers in the UK have threatened to sue over 17 sports data processing companies over using their personal data without consent. While they have initially identified companies across sports data analytics, entertainment and betting, they believe over 150 companies could be using players' data without consent. The core of the plea is non-compliance under Article 4 of the GDPR, which prohibits using personal data such as physical, physiological, location information without consent. To highlight the scale of the issue, about 7,000 pieces of information on one player are being used in analytics and other uses. If this legal action is successful, it can reshape how data is used in sports and across many industries. It can even create a new economy around 'data trading'. While GDPR adherence and PII usage guidelines shape up globally over the next many years, it is essential for developers to proactively comply with current GDPR and develop strong practices around PII data governance. kandi kit on GDPR Review and Compliance showcases popular libraries that provide frameworks, scanners, best practices, and implementation utilities for GDPR compliance.

Open Source Intelligence has played a pivotal role in key events like tracing Covid-19 origins, MH17 downing, the Boston Marathon bombing, and the Myanmar refugee crisis. Approximately 500 million tweets are published every day, totaling over 200 billion posts in a year. Facebook users upload 350 million photos per day. YouTube users add nearly 720,000 hours of new video every day. Almost all devices are online today in the connected world.

While monitoring messages was exclusive to intelligence agencies, the tons of information available in the public realm today has made it possible for general and security enthusiasts to look for insights that might not have been possible earlier. The U.S. Department of State defines OSINT as "intelligence that is produced from publicly available information and is collected, exploited, and disseminated promptly to an appropriate audience to address a specific intelligence requirement."

Designed correctly, OSINT can reduce risk across a variety of common risks such as weather conditions, disease outbreaks, corporate risk management, data privacy, reputation management, in addition to higher-order tasks like national security and cybersecurity. Do not construe this as legal advice, promotion, or authorization to indulge in any activity whatsoever.

Why aren't consumers allowed to fix their gadgets on their own terms? Advocates worldwide have been attempting to push for effective' right to repair' laws. The 'right to repair' movement has faced resistance from tech giants such as Apple, Amazon, Tesla, and Microsoft. They counter that opening up their design and IP to third-party services, or repairers could lead to IP misuse and reduce the safety and security of their devices.

The goal of the 'right to repair' movement is to get manufacturers of devices to make spares, tools, and the know-how to repair devices available to the public to increase the lifespan of products, improve recycling and eliminate waste.

US President Joe Biden signed an executive order calling on the Federal Trade Commission to curb restrictions imposed by manufacturers that limit consumers' ability to repair their gadgets on their terms. The UK also introduced right-to-repair rules that make it much easier to buy and repair daily-use gadgets.

On this Labor Day, I was pondering on the advances made in labor laws and opportunities. The US Labor Day and the International Workers' Day (May 1) date back to the 1880s. The early Labor days were a celebration of unions and early wins on legalizing the eight-hour workday. The subsequent focus was on establishing weekends, sick days, and paid time off. Now some 140 years later, the top labor issues are very much similar. The US Department of Labor lists Discrimination and Harassment, Wrongful Termination, Family and Medical Leave, Minimum Wage, Unsafe Workplace Conditions, and Workers' Compensation for Illness or Injury as the top employment issues. The kandi kit on Top Labor Issues and Solutions showcases open source and reusable libraries across these core issues of Discrimination, Harassment and Wrongful Discharge, Compensation, Family and Medical Leaves, Minimum Wage, Overtime, and Misclassification, and Workplace Safety. While there are a few hundred reusable libraries on each topic, there is still a significant opportunity for developing solutions. If you find any other libraries or use cases, publish them through your own kit.

Discrimination, Harassment and Wrongful Termination

These libraries cover topics across bias and discrimination across the employment lifecycle of hiring, pay, and termination/ discharge.

Compensation, Family and Medical Leaves

These libraries cover topics across Compensation for Illness or Injury, and Family and Medical Leaves.

Workplace Safety

These libraries cover topics across Unsafe Workplace Complaints and Conditions.

Minimum Wage, Overtime, and Misclassification

These libraries cover topics across Minimum Wage, Overtime, and Misclassification, and an interesting library to see your web purchases in multiples of minimum wages to emphasize the enormity of the issue.

Nearly 200 countries approved the U.N. brokered COP26 pact. John Kerry is optimistic that COP26 puts us closer than ever to avoiding climate chaos, while COP26 climate summit's president Alok Sharma was "deeply frustrated" with the outcome. Most countries have insisted that the agreement was important, though a small step in keeping alive the hopes of achieving the 1.5 degree Celsius temperature goal. It has raised hopes of 2030 climate action goals and a 2023 meeting to scale up the ambition of climate action. Reducing the usage of coal has been a sticky point. However, there has been unanimous support for the focus on adaptation, global methane pledge, and reversing forest loss and land degradation by 2030. It's pretty interesting to see there are 1000s of open source libraries on these topics of adaptation, methane emissions, and forest management. While the countries drive the larger goals, you can adopt many of these into your digital roadmap. The kandi kit on COP26 Climate Pact Use Cases showcases open source libraries to implement adaptation use cases across flooding and weather, methane monitoring, and afforestation.

Adaptation - Sea Levels and Weather

The haunting images of Afghans falling off a US evacuation plane, and babies handed across barbed wires to strangers in search of hope, foretell another humanitarian crisis unfolding. Afghanistan is the third-largest source-nation for refugees, with Syria and Venezuela leading the list.

The United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) currently estimates 82.4 million forcibly displaced people around the world, including internally displaced persons, stateless individuals, and refugees. Given the Covid situation leading to border closings, resettlement has also been impacted.

Refugees face tremendous challenges in the places they leave and very likely will face significant hurdles in their resettlement or return. Technology, especially the open source ecosystem, has been doing its bit to alleviate the challenges faced by the refugees. With the kandi kit for Refugee Support Solutions, we have showcased the best open source and public libraries that help across multiple facets of understanding and resettling refugees. The critical use cases that we found in these popular libraries were visualizing the global refugee situation from published data sources like governments and the UNHCR and open source intelligence sources such as Twitter feeds and google trends. The use cases also covered asylum processing and social integration through information sharing and rehabilitation, mentoring, medical and legal support. In addition, we found use cases across aid management.

While individually, their impact might be minimal, this kit represents strong potential for technology for good. Do share and contribute to the common cause through technology or other means.
