Activist: Creating Devices for Action<\/h3>\n

Xnet<\/strong><\/a> (formerly EXGAE<\/strong>): in 2008 Simona Levi founded the project EXGAE in which, proposing alternative models for cultural dissemination, copyright management, and defence of the Internet and democracy in the digital age, involving other activists, geeks and teachers affected by the abuses of the Sociedad General de Autores (Spanish Society of Authors and Publishers) and other entities managing copyright.\"\" In 2010, thanks to the measly sense of humour of SGAE, which threatened to take EXGAE to court for breach of the Trademarks and Patents Law, EXGAE changed its name to Xnet. Since then, Xnet has been working on digital rights, data and for network democracy (mechanisms for participation and citizen control of power and the institutions); to defend a free and neutral Internet; to support knowledge, information and citizen journalism in favour of the right to know, to inform and to be informed; the legal, technical and communication struggle against corruption; and technopolitics understood as online practice and action for empowerment, justice and social transformation.<\/p>\n

Since its foundation, Simona Levi has coordinated the project.<\/p>\n

Highlights (updated 2022):<\/p>\n

Digital rights and digitalisation that respects human rights<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2021, at the request of the President of the European Parliament, the late David Sassoli<\/a>, Levi led a \u201cReflection Paper\u201d published by the European Parliament Research Service in the Publications Office of the European Union, entitled \u201cProposal for Sovereign and Democratic Digitalisation of Europe<\/a>\u201d. This work is the result of a dialogue between David Sassoli, President of the European Parliament with Simona Levi, U. Von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, former President R. Prodi and T. Berners, inventor of the web, entitled \u201cAccess to the Internet: a new human right\u201d, broadcast live by the European Parliament. The project includes concrete actions that Levi is working on.<\/p>\n

Since 2019, Levi has designed and headed up the Plan for the Democratic Digitalisation of Education together with families, open source software companies and participating schools.\u2028The Plan involves the creation of a comprehensive, auditable, agile and interoperable IT tool called DD to replace Big Tech\u2019s proprietary tools throughout the activity of educational establishments, while also offering a
\nprogramme of reform of the education system for digital training. \"\"The Plan has already resulted in:\u2028<\/p>\n

\u2013 Development of the DD tool and its implementation in 11 schools in the city of Barcelona (from 2021) in collaboration with the Directorate for Democratic Innovation of the City Council and the city\u2019s Education Consortium.
\n\u2028\u2013 The 1st International Course on Digital Democratic Education and Open Edtech (2022) directed by Levi and officially recognised as 20 hours of teacher training by the Department of Education of the Government of Catalonia. This international conference has generated policy recommendations and a permanent international working group.<\/p>\n

From 2019 to 2023 it is contributing to the Gavius project for Urban Innovative Actions (UIA) of the European Union in the field of digital rights and ethical use of technology in local institutions in the field of social aid (cities of Gav\u00e0 and Matar\u00f3 together with the Open Administration of Catalonia and the Polytechnic University of Catalonia).\u2028Specifically, it works on identification, freedom of choice and participation in the digital sphere and digital rights in the field of artificial intelligence as applied by the public administration.<\/p>\n

Since 2018, Levi has been working very intensively on many aspects relating to the proper adaptation of the European Union\u2019s General Data Protection Regulation that protects online privacy.\u2028She coordinates related actions and drew up Xnet\u2019s report and legislative proposals on Privacy, Data Protection vs. Institutionalised Abuse<\/a>. This project has given rise to various actions before European and national institutions in the areas of elections and abuses of the electoral roll; the preservation of memory; clashes between administrative law and transparency law in accordance with the spirit of data protection regulation; and the infringement of privatisation rights for the self-employed.\u2028
\n <\/p>\n

Online freedom of expression and its relationship to disinformation in the digital age<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2018 she coordinated the Report \u201c#FakeYou: Governments, political parties, media, corporations, big money<\/a>: monopolies of information manipulation and threats to freedom of expression\u201d which was later made into a book in 2020 \u2014with two editions\u2014 as well as an adaptation for children in 2021 (translated into Portuguese). \"\"<\/p>\n

In 2020 she designed policy recommendations<\/a> based on the report \u201c#FakeYou: governments, political parties, media, corporations, big money: monopolies of information manipulation and threats to freedom of expression\u201d. This work led to numerous interventions in the field of freedom of expression, disinformation and hate speech.\u2028\u00a0
\n <\/p>\n

Access to culture, information and knowledge in the digital age<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since 2008, it has promoted free licences to improve access to culture, information and knowledge in the digital age, as well as promoting various proposals for legislative reform in the fields of open data, open source, open access\/open science. In 2011 she appeared on Televisi\u00f3n Espa\u00f1ola in the documentary \u201cCopiad Malditos<\/a>\u201d, directed by St\u00e9phane M. Grueso. In 2012 she coordinated the European project \u201cCreativity: innovative models of production and access<\/a>\u201d. In 2013 she facilitated the application of the first Creative Commons licence for a documentary on Catalan public television (No-Res).<\/p>\n

She has generated a number of crowd-sourced projects on the subject:\u2028\u2013 In 2010, she was the driving force behind the creation of Red-Sostenible (she can be found mentioned in Cablegate, disclosed by Wikileaks<\/a>).
\n\u2028\u2013 In 2009 (until 2015) she led and designed the FCForum<\/a>, an international observatory on democratic rights in the digital age: a public policy-making event with an international network of 150 specialists for seven editions, with corresponding legislative recommendations.
\n\u2028\u2013 In 2008 (and until 2013) she created and ran the OXcars<\/a> (six editions), the biggest free culture show in Europe. Capacity: 2,000 people.
\n\u2028\u2013 In 2008 she headed up a repository<\/a> of tools and advice for the public.\u2028\u00a0
\n <\/p>\n

Democratic innovation and the fight against (corruption and) systemic abuses and for institutional integrity<\/strong><\/p>\n

She has been working in this field since 2012, when she founded the citizens\u2019 organisation that promoted the Bankia case<\/a> and brought to light the black card scandal<\/a>, which led to the conviction (in 2018) of 65 politicians and bankers, including the former finance minister and former president of the International Monetary Fund, and allowed the return of almost 9 billion euros to those affected by so-called preference shares.<\/p>\n

A pioneer in the protection of whistleblowers and anonymous and secure whistleblower mailboxes, in 2019 she registered in the Spanish Congress<\/a> and Catalan Parliament the first transposition of the European Directive for the protection of whistleblowers and informants and created a template<\/a> for transposition that can be used in other countries.
\n\"\"
\nIn 2018, she proposed a DIY registration system for legislative proposals<\/a> for the Spanish Congress and Parliaments.<\/p>\n

A specialist in strategic litigation for social transformation, she has worked intensively since 2018 to improve national and European legislation<\/a> on class actions<\/a> and SLAPPs.<\/p>\n

In 2017 she promoted and opened the first secure, anonymous institutional whistleblowing channel<\/a> based on Globaleaks in Barcelona City Council. This prototype has since been replicated in many other public and private institutions (currently more than 10). She has contributed to the amendment of the European Whistleblowers Directive.<\/p>\n

In 2016\/17, her play \u201cHazte banquero<\/a>\u201d about the Bankia case and how to fight corruption with digital tools, written with Sergio Salgado, was seen by 10,000 people.<\/p>\n

In 2015, publication of the Correos scandal involving Blesa; the black card scandal was uncovered.<\/p>\n

In 2015, she founded Citizen Groups Against Corruption<\/a> in Spain and Catalonia. Opening of Xnet\u2019s anonymous whistleblower channel. Xnet had co-founded Filtrala the year before.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
