Today, at a hearing organised by the special #COVI committee st the @[email protected], I will speak about the fundamental rights impacts of digital solutions to Covid and present recommendations from the report we published with @[email protected] and @[email protected]
You know it’s good because it looks shit #chrzanforever

That language of “helping to return” is an abhorrent newspeak when 60% of the people were forcibly deported.
In 2022, the agency helped to return a record number of people who were staying illegally in the EU.
Out of the 24 850 people Frontex helped to return last year, 40% returned voluntarily
This is so evocative!
The world according to the data #AI sees. 50% of datasets are connected to 12 institutions. Analysis of 4384 datasets and 60647 papers.

Benchmark datasets play a central role in the organization of machine learning research. They coordinate researchers around shared research problems and serve as a measure of progress towards shared goals. Despite the foundational role of benchmarking practices in this field, relatively little attention has been paid to the dynamics of benchmark dataset use and reuse, within or across machine learning subcommunities. In this paper, we dig into these dynamics. We study how dataset usage patterns differ across machine learning subcommunities and across time from 2015-2020. We find increasing concentration on fewer and fewer datasets within task communities, significant adoption of datasets from other tasks, and concentration across the field on datasets that have been introduced by researchers situated within a small number of elite institutions. Our results have implications for scientific evaluation, AI ethics, and equity/access within the field.

👥Jak świat długi i szeroki pandemia koronawirusa okazała się doskonałą pożywką dla zwiększonego nadzoru nad społeczeństwem.

Od Rosji po Stany Zjednoczone, przez Polskę, Filipiny i RPA – jak świat długi i szeroki pandemia koronawirusa okazała się doskonałą pożywką dla zwiększonego nadzoru nad społeczeństwem. Prawne i technologiczne rozwiązania wykorzystywano do tego, by zbierać dane o zdrowiu ludzi, monitorować osoby poddane kwarantannie, ale też uciszać protestujących. To główne wnioski z raportu o (nad)używaniu technologii w czasie COVID, przygotowanego przez European Center for Not-for-Profit Law, International Network of Civil Liberties Organizations i Privacy International.
In 2022, together with members, partners & funders we fought to protect our privacy & freedoms online. EDRi mobilised people, engaged key policymakers & challenged #BigTech to protect our #DigitalRights.

Last week the Belgian DPA approved IAB Europe’s “action plan” for bringing the Transparency and Consent Framework (TCF) into compliance.
Somewhat surprising to me, given the savage teardown the DPA gave the TCF in its decision about the framework last February.

An Eastern Catholic priest carrying out an Epiphany blessing by the River Bug on Poland's border with Belarus.
The ceremony has a long tradition, but a new addition is the razor wire erected by the Polish government in response to crossings by migrants and asylum seekers
