L'azienda che verifica le foto segnaletiche per ChatGPT e Roblox alimenta l'apparato di sorveglianza statunitense con 269 controlli distinti
Ogni selfie o documento d'identità caricato su ChatGPT, Roblox, LinkedIn e molti altri siti per la verifica viene gestito da un'azienda di San Francisco chiamata Persona. Una fuga di notizie di massa ha svelato l'altra faccia della medaglia: una piattaforma in grado di fornire al governo degli Stati Uniti 269 sofisticati controlli di sorveglianza su milioni di utenti in tutto il mondo.

Il Comitato europeo per la protezione dei dati (EDPB) individua le sfide che ostacolano la piena attuazione del diritto all'oblio
Bruxelles, 18 febbraio - Il Comitato europeo per la protezione dei dati (EDPB) ha adottato una relazione sull'azione del suo Coordinated Enforcement Framework (CEF) sul diritto all'oblio (art. 17 GDPR) . Il Comitato si è concentrato questa discussione in quanto si tratta uno dei diritti GDPR più frequentemente esercitati e uno in merito al quale le autorità di protezione dei dati ricevono frequentemente reclami da parte dei cittadini.

Quando l'archiviazione del codice sorgente viene riconosciuta come bene pubblico digitale: spunti dal percorso decennale di Software Heritage presso l'UNESCO
Senza conservazione, le società perdono la capacità di comprendere come sono stati costruiti i sistemi, perché sono state prese le decisioni e come la conoscenza si è evoluta nel tempo. La conservazione, quindi, non significa guardare al passato; significa consentire la continuità. Quando il software viene preservato, la conoscenza rimane verificabile. Quando il software è accessibile, l'apprendimento diventa possibile. Quando il software è documentato, l'innovazione può basarsi su ciò che già esiste. Ciò è particolarmente importante per le comunità con meno risorse, dove perdere la conoscenza digitale significa perdere opportunità

this reminded me
years ago I became aware of someone who was teaching children in a country that the USA and EU has a hatred of and has applied a blockade against
that person was helped by free software and also - importantly - free tutorial / course content
removing the payment step meant that didn't become a blocker
your post reminded me that free software *and content* is for all the world - including those victimised by the West

Digital sovereignty requires #FreeSoftware.
What matters is not whether software is developed or sold by European vendors, but whether all users are allowed to use, study, share, and improve it.

in reply to Patrick Breyer • • •Reflection: I don't email my MEPs very often, but I've always gotten some sort of response from at least one or two (even if clearly an intern just replying with some boilerplate) - until now. Both of the emails I've sent the last few months regarding Chat Control have had absolutely no responses whatsoever.
I do use ProtonMail, which in some cases could be a sign that there's automatic blackholing, but I use my own domain so it would be a very extreme case if so.
Just a data point, if you hear others with similar experienced.

"The technology for detection of child sexual abuse content can be repurposed for detection of anything a govt wants detected...
I will monitor the votes of Irish MEPs and will donate generously at the next election to the opponents of anyone voting in favour of this legislation."
