I really think that every marginalized group that suffered and systemic oppression should join the discussion about

If a black box will be distributed, regulated and trusted as , no human right organization will be able to inspect the dataset used to train it.

And if you can implant undetectable backdoors in a machine learning model (see arxiv.org/abs/2204.06974), you can much more easily implant undetectable bias that will hurt some groups of people to benefit others.

people and victims of systemic should really demand transparency,...before it's too late!

TIL that a can be defined as .

Granting the “freedom to fine tune” cannot be enough to qualify as Open Source AI just like granting the “freedom to configure” cannot be enough to qualify as Open Source Software.

Yet, for it's enough.

And you can't provide effective solutions to the problem they pretend to see into making training data available.

Or you will be silenced.

1000 richest people are approched. "The end of the world is here. Time to go to your doomsday bunker", they are told. The billionaires nodded. They knew this was coming. They were prepared.

So they gathered their loved ones and locked themselves in luxury bunkers. No contact to outside world.

10 years later they emerge. The world has healed. The air is breathable, people are happy. "What was the catastrophy?" they ask the first person they meet.

She screams: "THEY GOT OUT!!!"

What happens if the proposed EU chat control regulation passes?

This series of news reports and press releases imagines the first year of cascading consequences.

It illustrates how the well-intentioned-but-flawed proposal will make detecting child abuse imagery more difficult while harming innocent people, national security, and the EU’s digital sovereignty.

Please share. The EU resumes discussions of the proposal today.

La vigilancia ocurrirá directamente en tu dispositivo (escaneo por el lado del cliente), comprometiendo tu privacidad y seguridad incluso antes de enviar un mensaje📲👀

Los representantes de España han sido de los más radicales en su postura contra la privacidad.

A pesar de que esta medida propia de regímenes dictatoriales ha sido bloqueada varias veces, la insistencia en colarla , pese a su impopularidad, es alarmante. ⚠️

Sto pensando di fare un sito per la #FestaDeiPopoli con features tipo "Il tuo browser non è aggiornato! Ma avrai i tuoi buoni motivi per non aggiornarlo, quindi abbiamo fatto di tutto perché tu possa visitare questo sito" (con un degrade gracefully) e "Non hai installato un adblock! Male! Ricordati di installarlo" e cose simili.

Thanks for the ping! we'll probably never distribute anything systemd, but as you say: if you run devuan, this is not an issue 💜

BTW, [SystemD's support of systemic surveillance](github.com/systemd/systemd/iss) is one more reason to move to @jaromil's

I wonder if customized the defaults in the systemd packages. Maybe @dyne might distribute an ungoogled-systemd?

Ironically, the same refuse to get rid of [in the default build](github.com/systemd/systemd/iss) have a security bug bounty program sponsored by the [Sovereign Tech Fund](sovereigntechfund.de/about).

What's more than leaking personal data to by default?

*German climate activists stop air traffic after breaking into four airport sites.* These protests may be dangerous, but not as dangerous as the failure to curb global heating. Is it stupid to try this method when gentler ones don't serve?

“MacBooks turned out to be the perfect target for the attack, because it works best when you have a very reflective surface to use as the laser target – and the Apple logo on the back of a MacBook screen has an almost mirror-like finish.”

People who plaster their MacBooks with stickers have deployed physical firewalls 👌

@mozilla are you serious?

is going to download Trends for my region whenever I click the addressbar?

And the only way to disable this shit is to click on the trends AFTER the download?

What if I do not want to inform Google about my existence AT ALL?

Which domains such "feature" will connect to? Passing which data?
