Internet is a versatile platform for providing services for human being.
Those services are used by people but not only designed for their own
advantages.
Those Internet services are surrounded by legal documents : From
end-user agreement
to privacy rules or condition of usage. Those legal documents are not often in
the advantage of the citizen but they change often and users are not even
notified about the modification.
If technologies are only used in the advantage of large corporation or
web services provided,
there is a clear democratic issue. We decided to make something about
it and counter balance
power on Internet with GooDiff. GooDiff is a service for automated
tracking of semantic
changes in web service policies.
During VJ12, GooDiff will be presented on two different aspects :
* The societal need of creating disruptive free software like GooDiff
for our society.
* and the inner technical operation of GooDiff.
A first version of GoodDiff along with its dataset will be released during VJ12.
