Doing stuff in data protection, healthcare law and privacy-by-design. Moonlight as digital rights activist. Innocent bystander in infosec scene.
The interplay between the GDPR and the proposed AIact discussed on this @[email protected] blog based on an analysis of case law. https://fpf.org/blog/gdpr-and-the-ai-act-interplay-lessons-from-fpfs-adm-case-law-report%ef%bf%bc/ Some interesting conclusions for EU policy geeks.
Now that mastodon.social is creaking, I am looking for a different instance to move to. Legal.social would have been an obvious choice, but they aren't accepting new users, anyone else who knows a law-focused Mastodon instance?

Hello #fediverse! We’re excited to finally join the club and will be posting all things #DigitalRights here.

EDRi is a network of 47+ NGOs, experts & academics working to defend and advance digital rights across the continent. For almost 2 decades, we have served as the backbone of the digital rights movement in Europe.

We will try to reply to any comments or questions here but please bear with us, our comms colleagues have a lot of different channels to manage :)

People often lock their bird site accounts to hide their posts when eg applying for jobs. But you *can’t hide past posts* on Mastodon, only delete them. Locking just turns your account into approval for new followers. If you’re posting something you don’t or may not want publicly visible, either (less reliably) use followers-only/DM post visibility from the start, turn on post auto deletion after a few weeks, or (more reliably) consider not posting it at all and putting it elsewhere.
Almost all of twitter looks like this for me rn

"I wanted to try out Mastodon, but the first thing it makes you do is choose a server, and I know nothing about how to do that."

"Oh, it doesn't matter that much! It's federated!"

"I have no idea what that means."

"It's like email. Lots of different servers, but they all communicate with each other."

"What are you talking about? There's only one email server."

Enquête « Ce que vous pensez de Framasoft » : les résultats

« Framasoft ne piste personne. Pour savoir ce que vous pensez de ce que nous sommes et ce que nous faisons, nous avons bien quelques indices... Mais le mieux reste de vous poser la question ! » Ainsi débutait l'enquête que nous avions lancée le 23 mai 2022 et qui aura duré jusqu'au 26 juin...

#introduction post!

I'm an interdisciplinary researcher, mainly in #computerscience but also a bit of #law, #philosophy, and a pinch of #STS. I study #privacy, #dataprotection, algorithmic decision-making, 'fair' ML/AI, #decentralisation, #security, #regulation of and by technology; hoping to gradually add #climatejustice to my bag of interests.

I build #Enigma machines. I don't know why (https://www.reubenbinns.com/blog/enigma-machine-version-2/)

I live in London and work in Oxford.

Love #TottenhamHotspur
