Trasferimenti di dati UE-USA: è tempo di prepararsi a nuovi problemi in arrivo
La maggior parte dei trasferimenti di dati tra UE e USA si basa sul "Quadro Transatlantico sulla Privacy dei Dati" (TAFPF) o sulle cosiddette "Clausole Contrattuali Tipo" (SCC). Entrambi gli strumenti si basano su leggi statunitensi fragili, regolamenti non vincolanti e una giurisprudenza che è sotto attacco e che probabilmente verrà smantellata nei prossimi mesi. Mentre l'instabilità del sistema legale statunitense diventa innegabile e gli Stati Uniti mostrano evidenti segnali di ostilità nei confronti dell'UE, è tempo di riconsiderare dove fluiscono i nostri dati e per quanto tempo reggerà il "castello di carte" legale costruito dall'UE.

Today, #Australia enforced a social media ban for kids under 16.
The same debate is happening in Europe, where #AgeVerification measures are gaining traction, with the European Commission, the Council of the EU, and the European Parliament all endorsing similar approaches.
‼️ Reminder: age verification is not real protection. It’s a quick techno-fix that locks young people out of spaces while failing to address the root problems of broken platforms.

1/6📍#ChatControl: Yesterday, EU lawmakers entered the final stage of negotiations ('trilogues') on the controversial #CSARegulation, aka Chat Control.
📣 EDRi has been advocating for years to make sure that this law tackles the severe crime of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) online without resorting to #MassSurveillance, breaking #encryption or compelling people to undergo intrusive age checks, all of which would have harmful consequences for people and communities.

5/6 ⚠️ Mass surveillance could present itself in two ways: 1) if the Council's preferred voluntary scanning regime is extended indefinitely, #BigTech companies could be allowed to scan the messages of users without any need for suspicion of CSAM crimes.
2) the Council also wants to make it mandatory for most or all private communications services (emails, Signal messages, WhatsApp, etc.) and app stores to use age verification or similar tools. This would have a huge chilling effect.
reshared this
6/6 ⚠️ These are not the only issues still plaguing the law. Technically infeasible network blocking rules; unreliable scanning technologies; a creeping risk of excessive law enforcement powers over supposedly independent institutions; and many others remain.

On Friday, the @EUCommission hit X with a €120M fine for deceptive practices for violating the #DSA.
Even if the fine comes late, Musk's reaction on social media and the US government's irresponsible threats against the EU show that we're on the right path. X's decision to terminate the EU Commission's account on the platform also highlights how critics are processed by the platform & how risky our dependency on Big Tech has become.

Lo smartphone #Linux completamente de-googlizzato, nessun tracciamento nascosto, nessuna connessione se non quelle autorizzate dall’utente.
Il pezzo più curioso è sicuramente il tasto fisico per “azionare” la privacy, con on/off su ciò che preferisce l’utente (microfono compreso).
Si torna ad avere il controllo completo sul dispositivo, su ogni sua caratteristica hardware o software, con possibilità appunto, di “spegnere” anche un insieme di app (se configurato).
Se il progetto prende piede, si può creare un ecosistema veramente alternativo e con logiche veramente incentrate sulla privacy.

@nuke@poliversity.itLa presenza di "AI" nel nome non mi attira, ma tant'è.
Ho letto la recensione per vedere se fosse comunque una macchina interessante e... non ho trovato la risposta all'unica domanda che subito mi faccio quando mi viene proposto uno strumento tecnologico: è compatibile col software libero? Domanda che per un portatile diventa: ci si installa senza difficoltà Linux e tutto funziona?
O è uno di quei tipici mattoni che luccicano, ma che ti imprigionano?
Non ho trovato la risposta, quindi giudico la recensione una banale pubblicità per un prodotto. Prezzolata? Forse.

No @Cincia, il ciliegino è il pomodorino. Quello rosso come una ciliegina, ma che messo sulla torta forma un pessimo accostamento.
Quindi quando il recensore dice di alcune cose che "sono il ciliegino sulla torta" intende dire che sono una fregatura: cose che sembrano allettanti, ma quando le provi ti rendi conto che sono inaspettatamente sgradevoli.
O magari è solo un sintomo del fatto che quell'articolo pubblicitario è scritto con l'AI che il prodotto porta nel nome.

While this twist makes it more likely that the outcome of the trilogue will be positive, this is still a very bad move by the commissioner.
As commissioner, it's his job to argue for the position held by the commission, not his own personal beliefs. This is a betrayal of his colleagues, and should cost him his job.
