“When The New York Times reported in April that a contractor had purchased and deployed a spying tool made by NSO, the contentious Israeli hacking firm, for use by the U.S. government, White House officials said they were unaware of the contract and put the F.B.I. in charge of figuring out who might have been using the technology. After an investigation, the F.B.I. uncovered at least part of the answer: It was the F.B.I.”

“The proposal says the minor mode feature would try to prevent “internet addiction” by limiting children younger than 8 to 40 minutes of smartphone time a day. The time limit would increase with age, reaching two hours daily for those ages 16 to 18.Apps would also have to tailor their content for different age groups. Children younger than 3, for example, should be shown nursery rhymes and programs that can be watched with parents, according to documents from the Cyberspace Administration of China. Those between 8 and 12 could be offered videos about life skills, general knowledge, age-appropriate news and “entertainment content for positive guidance.””

An update on Canada’s Bill C-18 and our Search and News products – Google Public Policy

13 juillet 2023 /

“We have now informed the Government that when the law takes effect, we unfortunately will have to remove links to Canadian news from our Search, News and Discover products in Canada, and that C-18 will also make it untenable for us to continue offering our Google News Showcase product in Canada. We’re disappointed it has come to this. We don’t take this decision or its impacts lightly and believe it’s important to be transparent with Canadian publishers and our users as early as possible.”

Des données ultrasensibles sur la sécurité de la Suisse sont en ligne sur le darknet

2 juillet 2023 /

“La liste est donc sans fin, Xplain ayant des contrats avec d’innombrables services de sécurité en Suisse. Des questions fondamentales se posent: comment se fait-il que la société informatique ait gardé sur son infrastructure informatique autant de données opérationnelles de ses clients? Et pourquoi la Confédération n’a pas surveillé de près ce prestataire externe si important?”

Concerns over DNS Blocking. June 23, 2023 | by Vinton Cerf

27 juin 2023 /

“The proposed Article 35 of the Military Planning Law gives ANSSI the authority to install “technical markers” — hardware and software enabling the collection of user data on the networks of electronic communications operators and data center operators. This provision would grant ANSSI the authority to install surveillance capabilities in private data centers without due process, posing a grave risk to the civil liberties of both French and global Internet users. This appears to be in conflict not only with EU law but also with the OECD Declaration on Government Access to Personal Data Held by Private Sector Entities, which seeks to ensure that “government access should be carried out in a manner that is not excessive in relation to the legitimate aims and in accordance with legal standards of necessity, proportionality, reasonableness and other standards that protect against the risk of misuse and abuse, as set out in and interpreted within the country’s legal framework.””

ICI T LIBRE ! – ☼ Bienvenue sur le blog de l’équipe Skyrock !! ☼

23 juin 2023 /

“Aujourd’hui, les skyblogs rentrent dans l’Histoire. Pour nous mettre en conformité avec la législation sur les données personnelles, pour conserver la plateforme et les skyblogs dans leur présentation candide et éruptive, il nous faut la geler et la retirer de l’accès public. Chacun pourra transférer sur sa machine son blog, s’il le souhaite, et éventuellement l’effacer. Puis ce trésor sociologique sera anonymisé et prendra le chemin des archives nationales* afin que demain les érudits et les chercheurs puissent se rendre compte avec une granularité inimaginable précédemment de ce qu’était la nouvelle génération du début du XXIe siècle.”

Do Foundation Model Providers Comply with the EU AI Act? – Stanford CRFM

19 juin 2023 /

https://i0.wp.com/www.beaude.net/no-flux/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/results.png?resize=676%2C358&ssl=1

“We find that foundation model providers unevenly comply with the stated requirements of the draft EU AI Act. Enacting and enforcing the EU AI Act will bring about significant positive change in the foundation model ecosystem. Foundation model providers’ compliance with requirements regarding copyright, energy, risk, and evaluation is especially poor, indicating areas where model providers can improve. Our assessment shows sharp divides along the boundary of open vs. closed releases: we believe that all providers can feasibly improve their conduct, independent of where they fall along this spectrum. Overall, our analysis speaks to a broader trend of waning transparency: providers should take action to collectively set industry standards that improve transparency, and policymakers should take action to ensure adequate transparency underlies this general-purpose technology.”

Wikilegal/Copyright Analysis of ChatGPT

17 juin 2023 /

“It is important to note that Creative Commons licenses allow for free reproduction and reuse, so AI programs like ChatGPT might copy text from a Wikipedia article or an image from Wikimedia Commons. However, it is not clear yet whether massively copying content from these sources may result in a violation of the Creative Commons license if attribution is not granted. Overall, it is more likely than not if current precedent holds that training systems on copyrighted data will be covered by fair use in the United States, but there is significant uncertainty at time of writing. ”

Everyone Says Social Media Is Bad for Teens. Proving It Is Another Thing

17 juin 2023 /

“They agreed on a few steps parents could take now: Set limits, especially around bedtime. Don’t give a young teenager a smartphone right away. Start with a smartwatch or a phone without internet. Talk to your teenagers: Have them show you what they’re seeing, ask them how it makes them feel and discuss privacy and safety. Make a family screen time plan that takes into account which activities increase stress versus provide long-term satisfaction. Model responsible internet use yourself. It’s not about monitoring certain apps, said Caleb T. Carr, a professor of communication at Illinois State: “Instead, parents should engage with their kids. Just like parents did pre-social media, talk about being good humans and citizens, talk about respect for others and themselves, and talk about how their day was.””
