Following the adoption of the Digital Services Act (DSA), a breakthrough legislation on platform regulation and content moderation, many were awaiting the decision of the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) in the Sanchez vs. France case. The main legal issue centred on whether the European-style safe harbour model and the accompanying ban on tracking or monitoring private users would apply. The Grand Chamber's judgment, however, has raised more questions than it has answered. In the present study, we argue that the Grand Chamber's decision in the Sanchez vs. France case represents a striking departure from previous ECtHR judgments and the principles set forth by the Court, particularly in the Delfi and Tamiz cases. We claim that as a result of the Sanchez judgment it may appear that certain individuals, such as public figures and politicians, may be subject to continuous monitoring to avoid liability for third-party comments on their social media pages.

In a legal setting, hearsay is "evidence of a statement that was made other than by a witness while testifying at the hearing and that is offered to prove the truth of the matter stated" (Cal. Evid. Code § 1200, 1965) and is generally prohibited. Legal rulings in life care planning regarding hearsay have traditionally allowed life care planners, as experts, to testify about information that is case-specific to individuals with disabilities or chronic illnesses. However, a few recent cases have been using hearsay rules to exclude testimony, leaving only general aggregate data to be used for the purposes of identifying needs of evaluees. This article summarizes pertinent cases regarding hearsay on the admissibility of expert witness testimony. It also provides a discussion about hearsay evidence, namely that the denial of all hearsay evidence amounts to being too restrictive, essentially doing a disservice to evaluees, the practice of life care planning, and the court system. It also argues that a strict denial of hearsay evidence leaves courts without an accurate picture of the medical and ancillary treatment being received by evaluees and the cost of those services.

Resumen de ¿Democracia no lograda o democracia malograda? Un análisis del sistema político del Ecuador: 1979-2002

Theuth, el dios egipcio que creó las artes y las letras, para entregarlas al pueblo argumentó ante el rey Thamus sobre la utilidad de la escritura: “Este conocimiento hará más sabios a los egipcios y más memoriosos, pues se ha inventado como un fármaco de la memoria y la sabiduría”. Recordé este mito de Platón al leer Pensamiento feminista y escritos de las mujeres en el Ecuador: 1980-1990, libro que acaba de ser publicado por Unifem y Unicef, agencias de Naciones Unidas. Es que se trata aquí de la memoria. No del hecho fisiológico, tan frágil como nuestra condición humana, sino de aquella creada para contrarrestar esa fragilidad, precisamente; la memoria que se perenniza con la escritura, que impide olvidar y permite dimensionar cuanto hicimos y a quienes quisimos o no quisimos. Sus autoras, María Cuvi Sánchez y Laura Buitrón Aguirre, feministas de esa década y actoras del movimiento de mujeres que se forjó entonces, desde sus correspondientes lugares -la academia y la documentación- invirtieron más de un año de investigación, de intercambio de puntos de vista, ideas y recuerdos, para entregarnos un libro que reseña 282 artículos periodísticos, ensayos, libros, boletines de 102 ecuatorianas y unas cuantas extrajeras que siguen en nuestro país.

In That Nothing Is Known, Francisco Sanchez created a very interesting reflection on the analysis of language and on the epistemic consequences of the importance of language. He did so in a way that allowed some scholars to consider him a predecessor of analytic philosophy. The Spanish physician believed that language had a leading role within science, but he also thought that language was a weak foundation upon which to build any attempt of knowledge.

The paper deals with the rediscovery of ancient skepticism by the Renaissance philosophy, especially that of the 16th century. It examines the conditions of its revitalization as well as the reasons, why the skeptical argument has been so widely applied by the Renaissance philosophers. The most of them used it in defense of their religion against non-believers. Some of he Renaissance fideists were skeptics: they did ot want to know, because they did want to believe.
