Parto dalla fine: poca privacy per i criminali. Spesso sento dire che "la privacy non serve alle persone per bene" e che "chi non ha nulla da nascondere non ha nulla da temere". Deiezioni bovine!

1/3 🚨 The EU #AIAct implementation process has been a hot mess so far 😬
Earlier this week, on 2 February, the AI Act's prohibitions on unacceptably risky #AI systems came into effect.
❌ As we cautioned most recently in our statement with 27 organisations and experts, these prohibitions are already too weak to effectively prioritise #HumanRights over AI companies' profits and protect us from further harms.
But that's not all... 🧵

2/3 ... Member States are now taking advantage of these weak bans to push for dangerous laws at a national level. This includes legalising #MassSurveillance through Remote Biometric Identification (RBI) systems 🙅♂️
🇧🇪 This is happening at the very centre of the EU - Belgium is proposing a full copy paste of the AI Act exceptions to the RBI ban!
This is exactly we warned about when the #AIAct passed - it will lead to legalisation of massive #HumanRights violations ⤵️ edri.org/our-work/eu-ai-act-fa…

3/3 There's also the procedural mess:
❌ delays from the #AIOffice
❌ national implementation delays
❌ #GPAI code of conduct issues
❌ Commission's interpretative guidelines released AFTER bans already entered into force
❌ no guidelines on the AI system definition yet, which will determine which systems fall under the scope of the bans in the first place.
This is terrible for legal certainty, in addition to the #AIAct already falling short of civil society demands to put people's rights first.

🇩🇪Halbguter Vorschlag von #Chatkontrolle-Kritiker Polen wird Mittwoch beraten: #Chatkontrolle soll freiwillig bleiben. netzpolitik.org/2025/neuer-vor…
#Verschlüsselung bliebe sicher. Aber die freiwillige #Chatkontrolle, gegen die ich aktuell klage, bliebe massenhaft und verdachtslos. Viele Apps wie Spiele oder Whatsapp bekämen Mindestalter 16. Verpflichtende Alterskontrolle würde Recht auf anonyme Kommunikation über E-Mail oder Messenger zerstören.
Die Hardliner-Mehrheit wird da nicht mitmachen.
Bei der Chatkontrolle gibt es nun einen neuen Vorschlag, der deutlich von den bisherigen abweicht. Er will die derzeit geltende Übergangsregelung des freiwilligen Scannens permanent machen. Doch auch diese Regelung ist umstritten.netzpolitik.org

🇬🇧Half-good new Polish #ChatControl proposal will be discussed on Wednesday: #ChatControl would remain voluntary. cdn.netzpolitik.org/wp-upload/…
This would keep #encryption safe. But voluntary #ChatControl 1.0 would still be general mass surveillance. Plus many apps such as games, TikTok or Messengers would be blocked for teens under 16. Mandatory age verification would destroy our right to anonymous communication via e-mail or messengers.
I don't see the hardline majority agree to this proposal...

For instance, #Apple has taken an aggressive position against the #DMA, litigating against the EC in a case we are intervening.
DMA is crucial to stop and prevent monopolistic practices. It represents an important step for #DeviceNeutrality and #SoftwareFreedom

Se Gli USA Vietano Alla Marina L’uso di DeepSeek, Perché L’Europa Dovrebbe Fidarsi di OpenAI?
La Marina americana ha vietato ai suoi dipendenti di utilizzare l’intelligenza artificiale DeepSeek , creata in Cina. La lettera ufficiale, inviata attraverso canali interni, afferma che l’utilizzo di DeepSeek “a qualsiasi titolo” è inaccettabile a causa di “potenziali rischi per la sicurezza e preoccupazioni etiche”.

EU official should not get top privacy job, says think tank
The letter – signed by a list of privacy professors – stresses that if the role is awarded to long-time EU official Bruno Gencarelli, the EDPS' legitimacy is at stake and poses a risk of conflict. Early last year, the EDPS ruled for example that the Commission’s use of Microsoft 365 was not legitimate.
