SUMMARY
This week; The United Nations panel enforcing trade sanctions against North Korea has been hacked repeatedly by a “nation-state actor,” compromising the email accounts of four current or former members of the panel and a “considerable number” of email messages, according to a U.N. incident report.
Furthemore; "If Western sanctions go as far as excluding Russia from the world wide web, the country's own internet is ready" the Russian presidential aide on the internet, German Klimenko said.
Otherwise, Finance ministers of the G20 group of countries will discuss the issues of cryptocurrencies and cybersecurity for the first time at a meeting set for March 19 and March 20, Russian official said.
In Europe, the Council adopted policy guidelines addressed to its 47 member states on the roles and responsibilities of internet intermediaries such as search engines and social media. Besides, a group of 50 European service providers, media groups and publishers have called for an urgent review of the EU’s proposed e-privacy regulation, arguing that it will give more power and advantage to global internet giants and penalise providers of advertising-dependent services in Europe as well as new market entrants.
On taxation, the EU will soon unveil a plan for taxing major internet companies like Amazon and Facebook by imposing a levy of two to six percent on revenues in every country where they operate, French finance minister Bruno Le Maire said Sunday. In the U.S, The Trump administration said states should be able to require online retailers to collect sales taxes, backing an appeal by South Dakota at the U.S. Supreme Court that could mean billions of dollars in revenue for state coffers.
On net neutrality, Washington has become the first state to pass a law that protects net neutrality, preventing internet service providers (ISPs) from slowing down or blocking online content.

Cette semaine; Le groupe d'experts des Nations Unies sur les sanctions commerciales contre la Corée du Nord a été piraté à plusieurs reprises par un "acteur de l'Etat-nation", compromettant les comptes e-mail de quatre membres actuels ou anciens du panel et un nombre considérable d'e-mails souligne un rapport.
">"Si les sanctions occidentales vont jusqu'à exclure la Russie du réseau mondial, l'Internet du pays est prêt", a déclaré German Klimenko.
"">Les ministres des Finances du G20 discuteront des problèmes de crypto-monnaies et de cybersécurité pour la première fois lors d'une réunion prévue le 19 mars et le 20 mars, a indiqué un responsable russe.
En Europe, le Conseil a adopté des lignes directrices adressées à ses 47 États membres sur les rôles et les responsabilités des intermédiaires Internet tels que les moteurs de recherche et les médias sociaux. En outre, un groupe de 50 fournisseurs de services, groupes de médias et éditeurs européens ont appelé à un réexamen urgent de la réglementation de l'UE sur la protection de la vie privée, estimant qu'elle donnerait plus de pouvoir et d'avantages aux géants mondiaux de l'internet
">.
Au sujet de la fiscalité, l'UE dévoilera bientôt un plan visant à taxer les grandes sociétés Internet comme Amazon et Facebook en imposant une taxe de deux à six pour cent sur les revenus dans tous les pays où ils opèrent, a déclaré dimanche le ministre des Finances. "">Aux États-Unis, l'administration Trump a déclaré que les États devraient être en mesure d'exiger des détaillants en ligne la perception de taxes de vente.
">Sur la neutralité du net, Washington est devenu le premier État à adopter une loi qui protège la neutralité du net, empêchant les fournisseurs de services Internet (FSI) de ralentir ou de bloquer le contenu en ligne.
Sur les fausses nouvelles, une analyse des nouvelles tweetées par trois millions de personnes entre 2006 et 2017 montre que les fausses nouvelles se propagent beaucoup plus que la vérité sur les médias sociaux.
