1/4 🚨 The Digital Omnibus proposals are here - and our rights and protections online are officially under threat 🚨

The proposals published today endanger the very core of EU's digital protections for people - the #GDPR, #ePrivacy and the #AIAct.

Weakening these safeguards would entrench #surveillance, profiling and algorithmic #discrimination in every aspect of society 🙅🏾

"Starting in December 2024, the researchers began contacting the affected telecoms. T-Mobile responded by encrypting its satellite transmissions within weeks, but responses from other cell carriers were mixed."

Everything is cool and normal.

Wired, Business Insider Editors Duped By Completely Bogus ‘AI’ Using ‘Journalist’ Who Made Up Towns, People That Don’t Exist

https://www.techdirt.com/2025/09/02/wired-business-insider-editors-duped-by-completely-bogus-ai-using-journalist-who-made-up-towns-people-that-dont-exist/

Here's Wired's mea culpa:

https://www.wired.com/story/how-wired-got-rolled-by-an-ai-freelancer/

Techdirt's Karl Bode correctly concludes: "This country has taken an absolute hatchet to quality journalism, which in turn has done irreparable harm to any effort to reach reality-based consensus or have an informed electorate. The rushed integration of “AI,” usually by media owners who largely only see it as a way to cut corners and undermine labor, certainly isn’t helping. Add in the twisted financial incentives of an ad-based engagement infotainment economy, and you get exactly the sort of journalistic outcomes academics long predicted."

Wir haben geleakte Daten zur Zürcher Firma #Neosoft ausgewertet, die Überwachungstechnologie exportiert. Das ist in dreierlei Hinsicht spannend:

1. Technologisch
2. Verbindungen nach Russland
3. Mögliche Umgehung der Exportkontrollen
