RE: https://mastodon.online/@mullvadnet/115547662877081034 The folks over at @mullvadnet nailed it again. Do check out their backstory page with more hilarious (and sadly true) videos! #chatcontrol #Privacy #digitalrights

In a surprise development on #chatcontrol, the Danish government has sent out a press release that it will drop mandatory detection orders, and instead propose to make the current voluntary detection scheme permanent […]

Hilarious side effect of the OpenAI pivot to porn plus the Swedish ban on online pornography purchases: Paying for ChatGPT in Sweden may be a criminal act soon.

God, can someone please finally take #Firefox out of the hands of #Mozilla and their damn "AI" bros? When they started adding all of this nonsense I went into my about:config to explicitly set "browser.ml.enable" to "false", but apparently even doesn't save […] [Original post on scholar.social]

One of the three parties in the Danish coalition government now openly opposes general and indiscriminate scanning of private communications and breaking encryption (#chatcontrol). They want time to consider a new approach […]

Aaah finally a @Disinfo2025 panel that focuses on #freeexpression and other human rights in the context of the work against #disinformation. The brilliant @epirkova pushes back against the instrumentalisation of #freespeech and the EU's #DSA to fuel far-right anti-democratic narratives. 👏

@je5perl Thank you for sharing this! Though I'm not sure "follow the money" really is, what a radical #chatcontrol proponent like Hummelgaard really wants to propagate, if I remember this investigative reporting […]

At the JHA Council press conference (yesterday), the Danish Minister of Justice encourages journalists to "follow the money" on how the #chatcontrol narrative has arised (from 6:40 […]

30 years ago, Bob Morris, then a senior scientist at NSA, gave a keynote talk at the CRYPTO conference (the leading conference for academic cryptographers). He opened by telling us he would reveal the NSA's first rule for cryptanalysis (which certainly got our attention). "First", he said […]

Side point on #chatcontrol: When I worked on the law in the European Parliament, in the face of questionably legal, and highly problematic behavior by DG HOME, I prepared a whitepaper on why it was such a terrible Idea. As it is in the public interest, I have decided to make that white paper […]

I currently read Alex Vitale's The End Of Policing. I was skeptical at first. After about a third I thought "Yes OK that's true but mostly applies to the US, right?" But then, where Vitale argues #police has always been a political, never a #crime-fighting tool, I suddenly realised: Holy shit […]

Det er pudsigt som tilhængerne af #chatkontrol (S-alene-i-DK) har travlt med at underdrive omfanget af overvågningen https://www.dr.dk/nyheder/udland/eu/omstridt-lovforslag-splitter-regeringens-europa-parlamentarikere-vores-sidste-rest "Der bliver ikke læst med i deres beskeder, og billeder vil […]

I sidste uge skrev Peter Hummelgaard i Altinget, at det er en falsk fortælling om #chatkontrol forslaget, at regeringen vil overvåge private beskeder. Kritikken var underlødig, og så videre i Hummelgaards værste stil. Ganske bemærkelsesværdigt, når det nu står direkte i lovteksten, at alle […]

🇪🇺EU Commission on #chatcontrol: "We just scan like a spam filter; your messages are still encrypted." It's a Trojan horse! 🐴 That's like someone reading your letter before it's placed in your mailbox! EDRi mythbuster […]

* Can we please get serious about users' rights in the face of state action that is laundered through platforms? Users deserve NOTICE when states target their speech, including through informal channels. And they -- not just platforms -- deserve STANDING to challenge it. 3/

Har forsøgt at samle op på #alderverifikation og debatten om det - og har taget et forslag fra [email protected] her fra Mastodon med i artiklen - skriv endelig kommentarer her og på bloggen - jeg tror det er en vigtig debat den her #dkpol #itpol […]

"Essentially, the company is presenting itself as a legitimate, legal business, but is selling the same sort of data that was previously typically sold by anonymous criminals on shady forums or underground channels." #soundsfamilliar […]

EU is demanding that every site use age verification technology, while insisting it do things it cannot do, and behave in a manner it cannot behave. This is not policy making. This is wishful thinking, with a side of "we'll just blame the tech companies for not waving their magic wand."

Last night I spent hours trying to figure out why my rpi zero 2W hates my Unifi APs. Turns out, AI was the reason. Had to turn off 'WiFi AI'. Goddamnit. #AI #internetofshit

Okay, we are half way through the day and I count at least 4 speakers ("independent developers") who seem to have been planted by Apple to ask favourable questions. 🤔
