Idag er det en fransk dommer, som har rig mulighed for at komme til orde. I morgen er det dig, som staten har set sig sur på. Vi skal have bygget (og udbredt) frihed, som er uafhængig af statens humør.

Hvorfor tales der ikke om AI? Det er fordi langt størstedelen af mine politikerkollegaer ingen forståelse har for emnet. Det kræver at man stemmer på en med en tech- og startupbaggrund hvis man vil have styr på en dansk AI strategi 🙋🏻‍♂️

"It's to protect the children" "It's to stop the AI slop bots" "It's to help law enforcement catch criminals" Authoritarians will never run out of reasons why we should give up our privacy. Don't cede an inch of ground. x.com/vaporlols/stat…

🚨No Joke: Conservatives in the EU Parliament (EVP) want the vote on #ChatControl 1.0 to be repeated this Thursday - even though the Parliament already voted NO! 😡 Make sure your MP stays strong.

"Data anonymization protects identity." Netflix anonymized viewing data. Researchers re-identified users in 48 hours. Strava anonymized running routes. Military bases revealed through aggregation. Removing names doesn't remove patterns, and patterns are identity.

Kunstig intelligens er ved at forandre vores samfund. Men hvor er den politiske debat? AI påvirker allerede vores arbejdsmarked, uddannelser og hverdag. Alligevel fylder det næsten ingenting i valgkampen. Det er et problem. Mens teknologien udvikler sig i rekordfart, halter politikken bagefter. Mange danskere er bekymrede for job og nye kompetencekrav. Den bekymring bliver kun større, når vi ikke tager diskussionen alvorligt eller investerer i at klæde folk ordentligt på. Risikoen er, at vi ender med et A- og B-hold. En lille gruppe, der forstår og udnytter teknologien – og en stor gruppe, der bliver hægtet af. Det er ikke kun et uddannelsesproblem. Det er et frihedsproblem. Hvis ikke flere får adgang til viden og kompetencer, svækker vi den enkeltes mulighed for at tage ansvar for sit eget liv og arbejde. Samtidig spænder bureaukratiet ben. USA investerer massivt i AI. Europa halter langt bagefter. Og vi risikerer at tabe endnu mere terræn, hvis vi møder nye idéer med uklare regler og tung regulering. AI kan blive en økonomisk motor. Den kan skabe vækst, nye virksomheder og bedre løsninger. Men kun hvis vi giver plads til innovation. Danmark har brug for en klar retning. Mere uddannelse og teknologiforståelse. Stærk beskyttelse af frihedsrettigheder. Og frihed til, at virksomheder kan udvikle fremtidens løsninger. Det er tid til en frisk start for Danmark 🦾

Germany requires Open Document Format in its new sovereign digital framework, standardizing document use across public administrations. linuxiac.com/germany-mandat… #OpenSource #FOSS

Jep. Jeg har nul problemer med at køre software lavet i Nord-Korea. Hvis jeg får kildekoden og selv kan læse den igennem og compile den, så er det OK. Men det dur ikke, hvis der er en risiko for, at de kan slukke eller spionere via softwaren. (Udskift Nord-Korea efter behag).

I find it frustrating that none of these "guardians" of Linux and open source have reacted to the OS-level age verification law: - Linux Foundation - Open Source Initiative - Free Software Foundation - Software Freedom Conservancy

A quick update on the infamous EU “ChatControl” 🇪🇺 What a turn of events in EU tech policy: from potential mandatory mass scanning of data (“ChatControl”) → to even voluntary scans losing their legal basis (for now). Just months ago, fears were growing around mandatory scanning of private communications in the EU (incl. pictures and videos). Now, talks between the EU Council (Member States) and the European Parliament have collapsed - and the result is a complete reversal. As of April 3, even voluntary scanning of data by platforms loses its legal basis under EU privacy (ePrivacy & GDPR) rules, as the temporary exemption was not extended. A striking example of how fast EU tech policy can turn - and a big win for European privacy advocates.

So it begins. ArchLinux 32 project has restricted access to Brazilian users. This is due to recently implemented Brazil law that enforces age verification at the operating system level. But this is more of a workaround, if I can even call that, than a solution. More and more US states are proposing age verification laws at OS level. What then? Will Linux distros start restricting their web access in those states as well?

Spain just fined the age verification company governments are forcing you to use €950,000 for GDPR violations. Biometric data retained too long, geolocation data kept for five years, fraud documents repurposed to train their AI. The infrastructure being built to "protect children" is already failing basic legal privacy requirements...

Our TV ads – under the concept And Then? – were banned in the UK, by Clearcast (an organization formed by the major TV channels in the UK which, on behalf of the authorities, must approve all TV advertising in the UK). Their arguments included: · “The overall concept lacks clarity.” · “It is unclear why certain examples are included, who the ‘speaker’ represents, and the role of individuals depicted in the car.” · “Several examples (e.g., paedophiles, rapists, murderers) risk causing serious offence and could imply that the VPN facilitates criminal activity.” · “Referencing topics such as: Paedophiles, Rapists, Murderers, Enemies of the state, Journalists, Refugees, Controversial opinions, People’s bedrooms, Police officers, Children’s headsets … is inappropriate and irrelevant to the average consumer’s experience with a VPN.” We think their arguments are nonsense. On the one hand, censorship and mass surveillance are escalating in the UK, through new laws, government pressure and proposed legislation. On the other hand, criticism of censorship and mass surveillance is being blocked through processes that are arbitrary and – to use their own words – unclear. When we tried to criticize the TV ads ban through outdoor ads, they were also banned by government bodies. We believe the situation is both Orwellian and Kafkaesque. You can watch all the banned ads and read more about escalating mass surveillance and censorship in the UK on our site: mullvad.net/and-then/uk And then? When our ads were banned on British TV, we took them to the streets instead and projected them onto walls in London.

Many people still aren't using usernames on @Signalapp. Usernames let you message without revealing your number, but many people still confuse them with profile names or aren’t sure how to use them. Here’s a quick guide to how they work, how to set one up, & how to find others.

Æv. Vi har lige fået afbud fra V til IT-valgmødet. Og vi mangler en kandidat fra SF, M, DF og DD. Hvis du kender nogen, der har lyst, kan du så ikke sende en mail til vedkommende og ota@prosa.dk? #itvalg #ftvalg

. @noahsturis kommer også til IT-valgmødet. Gør du?
