@SolarDavy : in mijn herinnering en volgens en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double waren Matthew Rosenfeld (aka Moxie Marlinspike - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moxie_Ma) en Trevor Perrin (github.com/trevp) de uitvinders van het "Double Ratchet" (aka "Axolotl Ratchet") algoritme.

Hét m.i. grootste probleem is dat Meta vereist dat de gebruiker al diens "contacten" met Meta deelt.

Nb. dat Meta stelt dat telefoonnummers cryptografisch gehashed worden is ongetwijfeld de waarheid, maar tevens waarheid is dat het doodsimpel is om een cryptografische hash van een telefoonnumer terug te herleiden naar het telefoonnummer zelf (simpelweg omdat het aantal cijfercombinaties van een telefoonnummer zó klein is dat een beetje grafische kaart in een oogwenk van alle mogelijke nummers de cryptografische hash kan berekenen).

Meta weet wie wie kent, en beschikt over uniek identificerende contactgegevens van een aanzienlijk deel van de wereldbevolking. Doodeng.

Die informatie is enorm waardevol, en de risico's voor de betrokkenen zijn groot. Ook als iemand (zoals ik) dit niet wil (en dus geen WhatsApp gebruikt, zijn er zat naïeve idioten die mijn gegevens met Meta delen. Zonder dat IEMAND ooit aan mij gevraagd heeft of ik dat goed vind (niet dus).

Geen dank daarvoor.

Zakelijk is dit overigens verboden door de AVG/GDPR.

My “not a book review” of Careless People – the book Facebook doesn’t want you to read.

With highlights on Ireland’s complicity and the lengths people farmers (as I call them) will go to to appease authoritarian regimes like China.

It’s clear from this that Ireland should be stripped of the authority to enforce GDPR and, really, people farmers – and the business model of people farming in general – should be banned in the EU.

(Don’t hold your breaths.)

#Germany's #cloudcomputing market is booming, with significant trends and challenges shaping its future. According to the "KPMG Cloud Monitor 2024," almost all companies (98%) are now in the cloud, with 55% relying on hybrid cloud models combining public and private cloud solutions. This shift is driven by the increasing integration of AI into cloud services, with 97% of cloud-using companies obtaining AI solutions from cloud providers.

🌤️ Market Size: The German cloud computing market is projected to reach USD 56.52 billion in 2025, growing at a CAGR of 15.51% until 2030.

🌦️ Challenges: Stringent data protection regulations, such as GDPR, pose significant challenges for cloud adoption.

Jeg har ikke noe imot at aviser vil se hvilke saker som engasjerer leserne. Det gir bedre innhold, og det heier jeg på.

Men når de lagrer individuell lesehistorikk under lesernes navn for å lage en "bedre leseropplevelse", beveger vi oss fra generell innsikt til personlig overvåkning.

Dette bør – og skal(?) – være et aktivt valg for leseren. Å føre statistikk er én ting, å lagre personlige data uten tydelig samtykke er noe helt annet.

With the political changes
happening in the United States right now,

You might be seeking Europe-based tech alternatives to trust your data with.

Moreover, if you are an organization dealing with data from Europeans, it could be wise to start the move for GDPR compliance now, in the eventuality the EU–US Data Privacy Framework it relies on were to change...

Whatever the reason,
you can check some of Privacy Guides' recommendations in this excellent article-list by Jonah: privacyguides.org/articles/202

Privacy group files complaint after ChatGPT invents "defamatory" child murder story.

Privacy group Noyb has filed a complaint today against OpenAI for “allowing” its model to invent a "defamatory" child murder story about a Norwegian user.

"By knowingly allowing ChatGPT to produce defamatory results, the company clearly violates the GDPR’s principle of data accuracy," Noyb said.

If you work in tech outside the US, do your future self a big favor and make some contingency plans regarding your stack. List all "your" US-based services and tools, and at least come up with fallbacks, so if/when Trump claims ownership of all data/infrastructure in the US, you'll have a plan.

I'm an EU-based indie developer. I have a responsibility for my client and customer data, both out of personal conviction and by EU law (#GDPR). I've always prefered EU-based data buckets, naturally.

"ChatGPT hallucinating a "fake murderer and imprisonment" while including "real elements" of the Norwegian man's "personal life" allegedly violated "data accuracy" requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)...

As Holmen saw it, his reputation remained on the line the longer the information was there, and—despite "tiny" disclaimers reminding ChatGPT users to verify outputs—there was no way to know how many people might have been exposed to the fake story and believed the information was accurate.

"Adding a disclaimer that you do not comply with the law does not make the law go away," [data protection lawyer, Kleanthi Sardeli] said. "AI companies can also not just 'hide' false information from users while they internally still process false information. AI companies should stop acting as if the GDPR does not apply to them, when it clearly does. If hallucinations are not stopped, people can easily suffer reputational damage."

GDPR question…

If I have a piece of UX with a “hide this…” button - if when you press that button I drop a cookie so I know you want that UX hidden, do I need a #GDPR permission box notifying the user of cookies?

If it’s dropping a cookie that literally says “panel=hide”, and contains no other personal information, I assume that I do not, because GDPR only covers personally-identifiable information. This is not that; and I currently drop zero cookies for an anonymous user (unless they log in, which is different and where I get their permission). I don’t believe a “panel=hide” cookie can be used to track any user.

Does anyone believe different? @benjaminbellamy ?
