Så bra och tankeväckande av Bo Rothstein i @dn
"Det centrala i en demokrati är inte att vi delar samma värderingar. Tvärtom innebär demokrati att vi ser positivt på att det finns olika sätt att tänka om och se på väsentliga samhällsfrågor. Vad demokratin kräver är respekt för lagarna och för demokratins spelregler."

Det har publicerats åtta artiklar om massövervakningsförslaget Chat Control 2.0 den här veckan. Du hittar alla i databasen på https://chatcontrol.se/coverage/.

Varför har vi börjat snacka om Chat Control igen? Jo, det belgiska EU-ordförandeskapet försöker samla stöd för en något modifierad version av EU-kommissionens ursprungsförslag.
Spoiler: små ändringar och det har inte blivit speciellt mycket bättte.

Signal strongly opposes the newest #ChatControl proposal in Europe.
Let there be no doubt: we will leave the EU market rather than undermine our privacy guarantees.
This proposal--if passed and enforced against us--would require us to make this choice.
It's surveillance wine in safety bottles.

#EU #election poster for Centerpartiet spotted in #Stockholm today:
"Håll gränsen mot massövervakning" - means approximately "stand firm against mass surveillance" - Svante Linusson and Muharrem Demirok
Glad to see them pushing this important issue in the election. I hope it gets them some votes.
Election day is in two weeks, on June 9. Don't forget to vote!

We must protect privacy, even in the face of cryptocurrency crime. As governments crack down on one of the most notorious tools for criminal money laundering in the cryptocurrency world, I’m worried about the ramifications.

Det här säger så himla mycket om vilket skit OpenAI och de flesta andra aktörer är.

If you want to hear me talking about my recent paper "Ticket-based multi-strand method for increased efficiency in proof-of-work based blockchains" on the MoneroTalk/MoneroTopia podcast a few days ago, here is a link to that - it's at 3:16:35 into the podcast, those things are long 🙂

Good, fun discussion. The paper is here: https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.09531 - please let me know if you have any thoughts about the idea.

Wikileaksgrundaren Julian Assange får rätt att överklaga sin utlämning till USA.
– Det betyder att det som är själva hjärtat i det här fallet, följderna för yttrandefriheten och pressfriheten, kommer att tas upp i domstol, säger Rebecca Vincent på RSF.

Google announced client-side scanning for Android. I don't think there's any point in calling it otherwise, or discussing the alleged "usefulness" of this technical implementation.
@Mer__edith very aptly reminded, in her reaction, that the AI-powered scanning is proprietary and it's within Google's discretion what type of communication is flagged as problematic. Scams, today. What next? Reproductive rights? Labour organizing?

🚨 Internationella brottmålsdomstolen ICC:s chefsåklagare Karim Khan vill utfärda arresteringsordrar mot Israels premiärminister Benjamin Netanyahu och tre av Hamas högsta ledare för misstänkta krigsbrott och brott mot mänskligheten som begåtts under kriget i Gaza.
Tre domare i ICC ska nu ta ställning till detta, innan arresteringsordrarna kan träda i kraft. #Israel #Hamas #Gaza https://edition.cnn.com/2024/05/20/middleeast/icc-israel-hamas-arrest-warrant-war-crimes-intl/index.html
