  • Irland will EU-weite Identitätspflicht für Social Media einführen

  • Wenn das von der irischen Regierung kommt, ist besonders Schlimmes zu erwarten.

    Die haben im September eine frühere Facebook-Managerin, die aller Wahrscheinlichkeit nach weiterhin vertraglich zu Wohlverhalten gegenüber Facebook verpflichtet ist, ist zur obersten Datenschutzbeauftragten gemacht.

  • Sleep apnea pill shows striking success in large clinical trial

    Jump

  • One of the medications, atomoxetine, approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2002 for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, increases levels of the excitatory neurotransmitter norepinephrine by blocking its reuptake (...). In sleep apnea patients, it’s known that the decline of norepinephrine during sleep contributes to a loss of tone among upper airway muscles, particularly the genioglossus. The other compound, called aroxybutynin, is a chemically tweaked form of a drug used to treat overactive bladder. It blocks certain receptors for acetylcholine, preventing this neurotransmitter from inhibiting the nerve that enervates genioglossus—effectively toning up the muscle during sleep.

  • Trump Gives Big Tech Friends an Early Christmas Gift With Order Against State AI Regulations

    Jump

  • So Republicans call “AI moratorium” something that is actually the opposite of a moratorium: a ban of regulation on “AI”.

    Not that it is surprising they employ double-speak, but just to set things straight.

  • And, most importantly, it's about so much more than just the banners. For example:

    (1) A new GDPR loophole via "pseudonyms" or "IDs". The Commission proposes to significantly narrow the definition of "personal data" – which would result in the GDPR not applying to many companies in various sectors. For example, sectors that currently operate via "pseudonyms" or random ID numbers, such as data brokers or the advertising industry, would not be (fully) covered anymore. This would done by adding a "subjective approach" in the text of the GDPR.

    Instead of having an objective definition of personal data (e.g. data that is linked to a directly or indirectly identifiable person), a subjective definition would mean that if a specific company claims that it cannot (yet) or does not aim to (currently) identify a person, the GDPR ceases to apply. Such a case-by-case decision is inherently more complex and everything but a “simplification”. It also means that data may be “personal” or not depending on the internal thinking of a company, or given the circumstances that they have at a current point. This can also make cooperation between companies more complex as some would fall under the GDPR and others not.

    (2) Pulling personal data from your device? So far, Article 5(3) ePrivacy has protected users against remote access of data stored on "terminal equipment", such as PCs or smartphones. This is based on the right to protection of communications under Article 7 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU and made sure that companies cannot "remotely search" devices.

    The Commission now adds "white listed" processing operations for the access to terminal equipment, that would include "aggregated statistics" and "security purposes". While the general direction of changes is understandable, the wording is extremely permissive and would also allow excessive "searches" on user devices for (tiny) security purposes.

    (3) AI Training of Meta or Google with EU's Personal Data? When Meta or LinkedIn started using social media data, it was widely unpopular. In a recent study for example only 7% of Germans say that they want Meta to use their personal data to train AI. Nevertheless, the Commission now wants to allow the use of highly personal data (like the content of 15+ years of a social media profile) for AI training by Big Tech.

  • HLI von GNU Talern. Sehr Interessant!

    Stallman has described the program as "designed to be anonymous for the payer, but payees are always identified."[11] In a paper published in Security, Privacy, and Applied Cryptography Engineering, GNU Taler is described as meeting ethical considerations – the paying customer is anonymous while the merchant is identified and taxable.

  • My thoughts on GPL vs. permissive licenses

    Jump

  • With permissive licenses, companies can co-opt the fruit of volunteer labor to build a proprietary fork. With sufficient resources, they can bring that fork to wide adoption, leading users and potential contributors away from the free ecosystem. This is why I vastly prefer copyleft licenses, either GPL 3.0 or AGPL 3.0, and preferentially AGPL, given how many things nowadays run as web services. Always remember: The GPL is what gave us OpenWrt.

    Also in contributing, I strongly prefer projects under a copyleft license. That's because of this:

    People who contribute to the development of a program released with a permissive license must be aware that the program could become proprietary at any time. For example, when a company hires the original team of developers.

  • Ex-Kanzleramteschef Schmidt plant Berater für Microsoft zu werden (DE)

    Jump

  • Erste Erkenntnis: Der Wechsel in die Wirtschaft bleibt die Ausnahme. Nur Christian Lindner, Wolfgang Schmidt (SPD) und Volker Wissing (FDP) streben (bislang) dorthin. Lindner ist bereits für die Stiftung Familienunternehmen (Kuratorium) und die [zu Axel Springer gehörende] Stepstone Group (Shareholder Board) aktiv und strebt einen Beratungsjob bei der Consultingfirma Teneo an, der von der Regierung genehmigt werden muss. Schmidt will eine Beratungstätigkeit bei Microsoft ("Technology & National Security Advisory Council") aufnehmen, darf das wegen einer Karenzzeit aber nicht vor Ende März 2026. Wissing möchte für die Beratungsfirmen Christ Capital und Joschka Fischer & Company tätig werden. Ob die Bundesregierung das ohne eine Zwangspause durchwinkt, ist nicht bekannt.

    Zweite Erkenntnis: Elf der siebzehn Kabinettsmitglieder sind weiterhin in der Politik tätig – die meisten als Abgeordnete im Deutschen Bundestag, darunter Olaf Scholz, Karl Lauterbach und Nancy Faeser. Einzig SPD-Verteidigungsminister Boris Pistorius behielt einen Kabinettsposten. Andere zog es ins Ausland: Annalena Baerbock ist heute Präsidentin der UN-Vollversammlung in New York, Robert Habeck arbeitet als Außenpolitik-Analyst am Dänischen Institut für Internationale Studien in Kopenhagen.

    Wobei bei Baerbock noch daran erinnert sei, dass sie, um an ihren UN-Job zu kommen, die hochangesehene Helga Schmid ausgebootet hat. Und das als eine der Gegenleistungen für die Zustimmung der Grünen zur Lockerung der Schuldenbremse, wo man sicher auch etwas anderes hätte fordern können. Dafür ist Habecks Entscheidung, sich (und das Land) nicht an die Wirtschaft zu verkaufen und stattdessen akademisch tätig zu sein, die redlichste von allen, die da aus der deutschen Politik ausgeschieden sind.

  • Here's why you're getting enshittified: we deliberately decided to stop enforcing competition laws. As a result, companies formed monopolies and cartels. This means that they don't have to worry about losing your business or labor to a competitor, because they don't compete. It also means that they can handily capture their regulators, because they can easily agree on a set of policy priorities and use the billions they've amassed by not competing to capture their regulators. They can hold a whip hand over their formerly powerful tech workers, mass-firing them and terrorizing them out of any Tron-inspired conceits about "fighting for the user." Finally, they can use IP law to shut down anyone who makes technology that disenshittifies their offerings.

    You can take care to avoid enshittification, you can even make a fetish out of it, but without addressing these systemic failings, your individual actions will only get you so far. Sure, use privacy-enhancing tools like Signal to communicate with other people, but if the only way to get your kid to their little league game is to join the carpool group on Facebook, you're going to hemorrhage data about everything you do to Meta.
