  • Bluesky suspending antifascist researchers for sharing publicly available information about literal nazis.

  • GDPR works like copyright in that regard. Just because someone publishes something, doesn't mean you may re-publish it.

    This data is especially problematic since it is about people's political views. That's defined as sensitive data. By default, it is a violation to even create or store such data at all, even if you kept it private. You could only do that legally if you benefit from specific exceptions.

  • PSA: Sharing that information was almost certainly a GDPR violation in the EU. It may also have been a criminal offense under German law (§126a StGB).

  • Oettinger Brauerei schließt: Kündigung für Mitarbeiter vor Weihnachten "kaltherziges Ende"

  • Hmm. Irgendwas nicht mehr kaufen, weil ein Teil der Belegschaft gefeuert wurde. Das ist irgendwie eine ziemliche "mixed message" für den Rest, oder?

  • Wissenschaftliches Publizieren: Rechnungshof statt Redaktionsschluss [Wem gehört die Wissenschaft?]

  • Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg erkannte ein gewisser Robert Maxwell das unternehmerische Potenzial dieser Nischenbranche und häufte mit Macmillan und Pergamon Press (heute: Elsevier) ein beträchtliches Vermögen an. Seine Tochter – Ghislaine Maxwell, verurteilte Sexualstraftäterin – verdankt ihren Zugang zu Magnat Jeffrey Epstein also zum Teil den großzügigen Überweisungen wissenschaftlicher Institutionen an wissenschaftliche Verlage.

    Ach. Wusste ich gar nicht. Naja, Klatsch und Tratsch.

    Der Artikel ist empfehlenswert. Der Würgegriff der Monopol-Verlage plündert nicht nur Forschungsbudgets, sondern schadet auch der Wissenschaft.

    Aber wie man beim Thema KI sieht, die Meinungsmacht der Copyright-Lobby ist immens. Wenn KI erwähnt wird, macht man sogar auf Lemmy kurz Pause beim Kapitalisten-Bashing und solidarisiert sich mit reichen Erben.

  • It’s all LLM bots, farms from Russia/Israel, alt-right propaganda, pedo that pretend to be kids, and aggressive data collections.

  • Bundesrat fordert Digitalabgabe: Tech-Giganten sollen Medienvielfalt finanzieren

    Jump

  • Das Geld würde eher nicht von den Techfirmen kommen, sondern vom Verbraucher.

    Man hat das vielleicht im Zusammenhang mit den Trumpzöllen gehört. Die werden von den amerikanischen Verbrauchern bezahlt. Oder alltäglicher: Die Mehrwertsteuer wird vom Verbraucher bezahlt, und nicht von den Firmen, die den Mehrwert erwirtschaften.

    Hier ist es sicher komplizierter, aber sei's drum. Eine Komplikation nur:

    Das Schutzgeld soll nur von den ganz Großen kommen, mit mehr als 45 Meganutzern in der EU. Und falls mal so eine Firma unter die magische Schwelle rutscht? Viele hier wollen ja, dass es überhaupt keine so dominanten Dienstleister gibt. Dann würde der Medienindustrie schlagartig massiv Cashflow wegbrechen.

    Die Berichterstattung über die "Techmonopole" und deren "Herausforderer" wird sich ändern. Geknüppelt wird, wer kein Schutzgeld bezahlt.

  • China Has Reportedly Built Its First EUV Machine Prototype, Marking a Semiconductor Breakthrough the U.S. Has Feared All Along

  • The EU does not have the military capacity to protect Taiwan.

    That's not mentioning that the EU is not a military alliance. That's the first political challenge to tackle.

    Anyhow, the channel ‘Asianometry’, has a video covering the physics of EUV machines. They are an incredible linchpin of our modern world.

    So true. This stuff is absolutely mind-blowing. Especially if you are old enough to remember how some of that seemed like almost unsurmountable problems. Now the solution are used in mass production.

  • How French spies, police and military personnel are betrayed by advertising data | Le Monde

    Jump

  • It's a myth that the GDPR is a useful tool in such cases. You know the expression "protected by copyright"? That's how lawyers protect data.

    The GDPR grants people rights over data concerning them, similar to how copyright grants rights over data. That means 2 things.

    1. It's rarely obvious that some data processing is illegal. It's not obvious if it happens without consent. But even so, you often don't need explicit consent to use someone's data. EG when we write about French president Macron, then that is Macron's data under the GDPR. Of course, you don't need his consent to discuss or report on politics, and so you usually don't need his consent to discuss his person.
    2. Enforcement is difficult and expensive. Think about the problems the copyright industry has. Surveillance tools like Content ID can at least rely on knowing what exactly they are looking for. Besides, much of the world has similar laws supported by influential industries. Little chance to do that for GDPR.

    Basically, using GDPR to protect actual secrets is like using copyright for the purpose.

  • Australia begins enforcing world-first teen social media ban

    Jump

  • Well. Step 1 is monitoring legal requirements around the world. In all the 50 US states, 200 countries, and whatever other kind of jurisdiction feels important.

    You have to age gate social media for 16+ in Australia. Some content is criminal in some countries. Some content is 18+ in some countries but not in others. Some countries require such content to be age gated, others do not.

    What kind of age verification is acceptable also varies...

    You need to constantly have your eye on new laws, legal precedents, or decision by regulators and adapt.

    And that doesn't even begin to address the technological problems.

  • Australia begins enforcing world-first teen social media ban

    Jump

  • they may also be required to implement age verification

    They are already required. Australia is requiring them to do exactly that. It's a safe bet that this will be ignored for now, at least outside of Australia.

    Suppose the fediverse wanted to comply, what do you think the volunteers running it would have to do?

  • I can't really make sense of that. Do you understand that Lemmy instances are run by just some random people?

  • Australia begins enforcing world-first teen social media ban

    Jump

  • I see that you've changed your opinion, OP, but I still have a question.

    How did seeing this as positive go together with being on the fediverse? How do the volunteers running this thing cope with these demands?

    More generally: How can the open internet survive if every local government makes its own rules about what information or service you may or mustn't give its citizens?

  • Come join the fediverse. Now illegal in Australia!

    It gets my attention but I don't really see the mainstream appeal.

  • Disney invests $1 billion in OpenAI, licenses 200 characters for AI video app Sora

    Jump

  • Sensible strategy for both sides, though I think Disney was a bit more desperate for a deal. Licensing characters makes it easier for Disney to win Fair Use cases. Meanwhile, if Fair Use is beaten back, then OpenAI may be able to finally create a moat for itself. Challengers would have to either obtain a license or employ expensive filtering. Both would make it rather harder for start-ups.
