the internet is a monopolistic media form, it was never about decentralization, that is an ideological misrepresentation. Nothing in the spectacle is decentralized. It’s a matter of numbers and multinational corporations. #spectacle #politics #networkpolitics

In its judgment, the General Court of the European Union strengthened the conciliation and regulatory powers of the European Data Protection Board.

"The DPC will have to continue its investigations into Meta unless it chooses to refer the matter to the European Court of Justice. Given the timeline of the original investigation, which began in 2018, it may still take several years before a final determination is made regarding the GDPR compliance of Meta’s business model, particularly in relation to behavioural advertising."

Oversight may also try to happen on an ongoing process.

On my resignation as regulator of the Dutch intelligence and security services - Bert Hubert's writings

I’ve seen some mediocre automated translations of my Dutch language resignation statement go round. To prevent any confusion, please find the story here in English: Until today I was one of the three members of the board that checks warrants for the Dutch intelligence and security services. This board is called “Toetsingscommissie Inzet Bevoegdheden” or TIB. If either of the civil or the military intelligence and security services of The Netherlands want to use their lawful intercept, SIGINT or hacking (& some other) legal powers, they have to first convince their own jurists, then their ministry and finally the TIB.

"Relational footprinting […] relies on the acquisition and comparison of data specific only to nodes of interest within a complex network of interconnected socio-technical components."
"A relational approach would inventory the carbon footprints (as well as water and land footprints) of powering data centers in specific parts of the world."

India Requires Internet Services to Collect and Store Vast Amount of Customer Data, Building a Path to Mass Surveillance

Privacy and online free expression are once again under threat in India, thanks to vaguely worded cybersecurity directions—promulgated by India’s Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) earlier this year—that impose draconian mass surveillance obligations on internet services, threatening...
