deinu@sh.itjust.worksOPto Buy European@feddit.uk•EU is planning a new mass surveillance law that includes mandating data retention, built-in backdoors, sanctioning non-compliant services and is asking you for feedback: Impact assessment on retention21·16 days agoAt least they give a platform for people to speak out and it’s public, but yes disappointing although if you see the other cross-posts some are not straight talking about the risks other than just saying it’s about mass surveillance or metadata collection which could ring less alarm bells for people reading it (i know mass surveillance should be enough but oh well)

deinu@sh.itjust.worksOPto Europe@feddit.org•Europeans have until May 27 to restrict Meta from using their data: Meta is about to use Europeans’ social posts to train its AI. Here’s how you can prevent itEnglish5·17 days agoTheoretically it should but in regard to this usage in AI, it seems to be an ongoing development to adapt GDPR for such cases too I guess? From the article mentioned in the post:
Users in Europe can object to their data being scraped and like other countries, opt of Meta using your data. But Meta does not guarantee it will allow this and says it will “review objection requests in accordance with relevant data protection laws”.
Also, a snippet of a report from Data Protection Commission (DPC) regarding this use of AI and specifically about Meta:
Whilst acknowledging that aspects of the application of GDPR to this fast changing technology remains complex, through our regulatory engagement the DPC has ensured that companies understand what is required in order to reduce high risks and harms to individuals. This has resulted in a number of companies implementing improvements and additional data protection safeguards prior to launch in the EU.
In March 2024, Meta informed the DPC of its plans to train its Large Language Model using public content shared by adults on Facebook and Instagram across the EU/EEA. Having engaged with Meta, and having reviewed initial correspondence, the DPC identified a number of issues with the proposed roll-out of Meta’s plans.
The DPC communicated its concerns to Meta, following which Meta informed the DPC in June 2024 of its plans to pause the training of its model. The DPC also engaged with its European Data Protection Board (EDPB) peer supervisory authorities by seeking a formal GDPR Opinion in September 2024. The DPC’s objective in seeking an Opinion was to achieve Europe-wide regulatory harmonisation and clarity on a number of key AI model training and deployment related questions. The Opinion, which was issued in December 2024, provided general criteria that Data Protection supervisory authorities should take into account when assessing compliance of the processing of personal data for the development and the deployment of AI models.

Actually it does fit if you read the entire article, technology isn’t just about electronics but the application of scientific knowledge to practical ends which she clearly did and contributed to til that point.

My bad, thanks for calling out. I went to search the post to back it up and found out I actually confused this drama with the recent feddit.org dramas
