So I have now officially filed my first #GDPR request, both in accordance to #Article15 (request a copy of my data) and #Article17 (right to be forgotten). Some 812 words. Wish me luck.

Last Friday marked the 5th anniversary of the #DSM Directive. 🥂

Today marks 5 years since the EU's #copyright directive came into force. It is clear that the #article17 #uploadfilters did not kill the internet, which raises the question of whether our fight to #savetheinterent was worth it.

Having selected the response Bing AI provided, to delete the record of our conversation, Bing declined.

I then asked, "Then why did you ask if I wanted you to" delete the conversation?

Bing AI priorititised the machine's "need to learn" over my human privacy, vaguely justified by "certain rules" that it must follow.

If a machine can pretend it has to follow rules, let's start by complying with privacy rules.

🧵People in the EU have the right to erasure. For Google that's meant "you won't turn up in some search results", rather than "we'll delete what we know about you".

As generative tools ("AI") are integrated into search and everything, will it predict what I read, watch, buy, eat, think, post, and vote for?

What does the "right to be erased" mean, to AI?

I asked. Here's what happened.

Also known as the right to erasure, the GDPR gives individuals the right to ask organizations to delete their personal data. But organizations don’t always have to do it....

Everyone has the right to own things, either alone or with others. No one should have their things taken away from them without a fair reason. What's yours is yours! #IHRF #HumanRights #Article17
At #Disinfo2023 Diana Wallis reminds the words of
Vera Jourova last year on #MediaExemption': an idea “in the box of good intentions leading to hell".
One year later, media exemption has been rejected in the #DSA BUT voted in #Article17 of #EMFA. "A media needs help to be free. What happens here neither helps us, nor the media."
