If you've followed me a long time, you've seen my transition from a "#linkblogger" (5-15 short hits/day) to an "essay-#blogger" (5-7 articles/week). I'm loving the new mode but returning to linkblogging is also intensely, unexpectedly gratifying:

My last #linkblogging foray was so great - and my link-backlog is so large - that I'm doing another one.

Link the first: "Siphon," @xkcd's delightful, whimsical "#physics-how-the-fuck-does-it-work" one-shot (visit the link, the tooltip is great):

Des nouvelles de la petite dystopie. Et, également en cours de discussion au niveau législatif mais quasi personne n'en parle, l'obligation quasi généralisée de preuve d'âge en ligne. Image
Ça couinera inévitablement quand il faudra sortir sa carte d'identité pour créer des comptes Twitter, Youtube, Facebook ou Instagram, voire contribuer sur Wikipédia, mais il sera trop tard.
Entre les délires dont on parle en France, flicage JO, et ceux qui sont sous le radar en France et UE parce que la gauche autoproclamée s'en fout voire soutient -- majorité en ligne, #chatcontrol --, on se prépare -- à la quasi unanimité parlementaire -- des lendemains sinistres.

Je suis verte de rage suite à la suspension du compte de Florie @Florielvm
Ce qu'elle a écrit m'a poussée à réagir, en privé et en public, à sortir de ma grotte ce week-end. #FreeFlorie #FreeFlorie
@Florielvm Twitter est un outil... Chacun est libre de l'utiliser comme il veut : suivi des #Manifestations , coup de gueule #ToutCramer, partage de photos #origami, ou juste pour partager ses états d'âmes. Je le fais de temps en temps, Florie aussi. #FreeFlorie
@Florielvm Bref après avoir entendu "ta fille je l'ai vue l'autre jour" alors qu'elle est décédée en 2020, j'ai fait une véritable phobie sociale. J'ai eu peur de sortir samedi, peur de voir des cicatrices s'ouvrir, peur d'aller au marché. Et puis, j'ai lu ça et j'ai relativisé. #FreeFlorie Début du fil de Florie

Et une nouvelle analyse particulièrement critique, venant d'un Gus qui est tout sauf le perdreau de l'année, sur le projet de la Commission 🇪🇺 visant à scanner l'ensemble du trafic Internet et correspondance privée #ChatControl #CSAM ⬇️
Ainsi que le Contrôleur Européen de la Protection des Données. Notons également un problème de méthode : toute la discussion s'effectue à huis-clos #ChatControl #CSAM

Et @ContexteNum nous apprend que 🇩🇪 a exprimé de profondes réserves sur les modalités de mise en oeuvre du dispositif #CSAM, notamment sur le silence imposé aux intermédiaires techniques. #ChatControl

A thread for policy nerds 🤓 (a term I use with the upmost respect) to share my views on the latest developments with the EU's proposed #CSARegulation. This is a law which threatens human rights and freedoms online to an extent never before seen in a democratic society:
If you follow Brussels lawmaking, you'll have come across the proposal for a 'CSA Regulation', popularly coined #ChatControl for the sweeping online surveillance measures that the law puts forward. @edri has been extremely critical of the law...
...which we highlight lacks objective evidence, was put forward in a shocking disregard for democratic principles by the Commissioner in charge, and fundamentally jeopardises privacy & safety online, including for the children it is supposed to protect. Well:

🇨🇮 Breaking news from Ireland: @ICCLtweet latest investigation shows no one can be protected by making the internet less secure.

Data supports EDRi’s new position paper, denouncing #CSAR proposal as having naïve faith in tech as a silver bullet.

edri.org/our-work/break…
2/ In 2020, from all referrals of #CSAM the US NCMEC sent to the Irish police ⚠️ just 20% were actually CSAM & less than 10% were actionable. Nevertheless, the Irish police❗️kept the data on people wrongfully accused.

Check the evidence: edri.org/our-work/break…
#StopScanningMe
3/ The proposed #CSAR is a fishing exercise. It'd treat all internet users in the EU as potential child sexual abuse perpetrators. Guilty until proven otherwise.🤷‍♀️

Today (now) LIBE Group in the EU Parliament will debate a proposed law which will require total surveillance of ALL online communications and messenger services of ALL EU persons.

#privacy #childrape #surveillance #ethics #law #trust #confidentiality
As a survivor of child sexual and physical abuse, I would never have had the confidence to tell my story if I didn’t have access to confidential communications channels.
It took 25 years for the Police to finally investigate and prosecute my case, leading to multiple convictions for sexual assaults against myself and 27 other boys at my boarding school.

After quite a few months working on the #CSAM proposal, and as the EC's consultation is due to finishing today at midnight, here are my (very personal) thoughts on a draft text that comes from a good place, but could have disastrous consequences : a thread 👇
First and foremost : we are in dire need of action against the systemic sexual abuse of children (CSA). The refit of the 2011 directive is more than urgent, and cooperation between intermediaries, NGOs and Law Enforcement Authorities is needed. No question about that.
(1/18)
However, what I fail to comprehend is how a text supposed to "fight and prevent" CSA will achieve preventing and fighting it without any ambitious measure when it comes to
a) scientific research on the topic
b) real, IRL prevention policies

🇩🇪Dank Google-#Chatkontrolle passiert dies, wenn du ein Nacktfoto an den Kinderarzt schickst oder deine Kinder beim Nacktkuscheln fotografierst:
1⃣Strafverfahren
2⃣Gmail-Adresse, Adressbuch und Mails dauerhaft weg
3⃣Fotos dauerhaft weg
Künftig auch bei deinem Anbieter? Wehr dich!
Bericht der New York Times über den Fall: nytimes.com/2022/08/21/tec…

La legislazione europea è frutto di un processo democratico che ha come obiettivo il benessere di 500 milioni di europei? LOL, no.

È il risultato di spinte politiche internazionali che arrivano da lontano e spesso sono discusse ben lontano dal parlamento. Un esempio è...
La normativa antiriciclaggio.
In UE siamo alla sesta direttiva e da poco è stato ampliato il pacchetto con alcune proposte ulteriori, come la famigerata "travel rule" anche al settore crypto.

Risultato: sorveglianza finanziaria di massa. Tutti criminali.
privacychronicles.substack.com/p/crypto-sorve…
Ma non è altro che la messa in pratica delle linee guida e raccomandazioni del FATF - ente sovranazionale senza alcuna responsabilità politica che dal 1989 decide unilateralmente le politiche antiriciclaggio per gran parte del mondo.

La legge è una formalità.

Today the European Commission will publish a proposal for a new law which will make the interception, analysis and monitoring of *ALL* digital communications (messengers, forums, direct messages etc.) mandatory.

#privacy #humanrights #chatcontrol #surveillance #dignity #csam
Let me be clear - this is ILLEGAL under EU Treaties and Case Law under the principles of proportionality and necessity. This new law will turn the EU into a surveillance state.

#privacy #humanrights #chatcontrol #surveillance #dignity #csam #childsexualabuse
500 million citizens will be subjected to complete blanket surveillance - the impact on privacy will be profound. Everything we have fought for since 1949 - our values, our principles, our democracy and our human rights, will be undone with the scratch of a pen.

🇬🇧 With the adoption of the #chatcontrol regulation (#ePrivacy derogation), the European Parliament last month approved the EU's first #masssurveillance legislation to allow searching private messages for allegedly illegal content. Watch again my speech before the vote 🧵(1/5)
🔍 #Chatcontrol allows e-mail and messenger providers to indiscriminately scan your private messages and chats in real-time for potentially suspicious content, including automated reporting to the police. (2/5)
A petition has been set up to oppose indiscriminate #masssurveillance via #chatcontrol, and to save the confidentiality of private communications online - but to no avail: openpetition.eu/petition/onlin…

Apple annuncia che i nuovi iOS 15, iPadOS 15, watchOS 8, and macOS Monterey saranno dotati di un sistema per la scansione delle immagini presenti sul dispositivo.

Il motivo è la ricerca di pedopornografia.

Cerco di spiegarvi perché è un grave problema =>
Le foto nella memoria del dispositivo verranno sottoposte a un processo che ha lo scopo di creare un "hash" (una stringa alfanumerica) per identificare in modo univoco ogni foto.

Questa stringa viene poi collegata alle foto. Come se fosse un "barcode".
Una volta caricate su iCloud, le stringhe di hash (il "barcode") delle foto sono poi sono confrontate con un database precostituito di materiale pedopornografico.

In caso di match positivo, l'account viene disabilitato e il tutto sarà segnalato alle autorità.

Apple ha intenzione di installare un software sugli iPhone per scansionare i dispositivi alla ricerca di immagini pedopornografiche.

Avendo osservato da vicino il panorama politico sul tema, sia in US che EU, purtroppo me lo aspettavo. Un breve thread =>
reuters.com/technology/app…
Il software si chiama "neuralMatch". Software di riconoscimento delle immagini che gira direttamente sul dispositivo.

Scansiona il dispositivo e in caso di match positivo allerta un team di persone che verifica e notifica le autorità se necessario.
machinelearning.apple.com/research/face-…
Senza giri di parole, è sostanzialmente uno spyware che scansiona ogni elemento media nella memoria del telefono alla ricerca di materiale illecito.

Per ora è solo una questione che riguarda gli Stati Uniti, ma sono sicuro che arriverà presto anche in UE.

There were millions of people who decided to ditch WhatsApp because unclear TOS changes made them worry that Facebook might access some of their data...
But now people need to hear about #chatcontrol and realize how it is a much bigger threat! ...1/n
Indeed, it is now time to fight to defend our privacy, and I'm afraid not so many people will protest to the systematic surveillance that's threatening us because of the new moves from EU parliament that are slowly undermining our privacy under disguise:
patrick-breyer.de/en/chatcontrol…
Currently providers are only "authorized" to perform the said surveillance, but it seems there are already plans to render such surveillance mandatory, legally binding the hands of the chat providers and definitively taking away our right to having safe, private conversation !

Majority of the European Parliament welcomes the Commission's intention to oblige e-mail, messaging and chat providers to search all private messages for allegedly illegal material and report to the police (#chatcontrol) by 580:76:37. Image
#chatcontrol will mean privatised #masssurveillance and the end of digital #secrecyofcorrespondence. It is not only inefficient but counter-productive, dangerous and causes severe collateral damage, including to children: patrick-breyer.de/?page_id=59416… Image
