Deutsch: Big Brother Awards Italien 2011

The winners of the Big Brother Awards Italy 2011 were designated on 3 June 2011, in Florence, on the occasion of the e-privacy conference 2011.

Facebook was the "star" of the awards being nominated for several categories and won the price for the "Most Invasive Technology".

The "Lament of the People" award was not given this year, as the votes were equally split between Telecom Italia, Facebook and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. "Worst Private Agency" was again a tie between Facebook and Sony Entertainment Systems which received an equal number of votes.

PEC and CEC-PAC (certified electronic mail), as normative and legal obligation, received the award for the "Worst Public Agency" as the most damaging for people's privacy.

The positive "Winston Smith - Privacy Hero" price was received by Stefano Rodota for his work to the legislative proposal for the modification of Constitution Article 21.
