"'Europese Commissie kondigt in september plan voor socialmediaverbod aan'

EU-voorzitter Von der Leyen zal in september tijdens de Staat van de Unie voorstellen aankondigen voor een EU-breed socialmediaverbod voor kinderen, zo meldt Euractiv op basis van EU-functionarissen en diplomaten. Het is nog onduidelijk welke minimale leeftijd de Europese Commissie voorstelt en hoe de leeftijdsgrens wordt gehandhaafd. De Europese Commissie maakte in april bekend dat het wil dat EU-lidstaten snel online leeftijdsverificatie gaan invoeren.

In mei pleitte Von der Leyen voor de invoering van online leeftijdsverificatie en wees daarbij ook naar de whitelabel-app die Brussel voor dit doel ontwikkelde. Verschillende Europese landen, zoals Frankrijk, Spanje, Duitsland, Denemarken en Griekenland, hebben inmiddels plannen aangekondigd voor de invoering van een socialmediaverbod en online leeftijdsverificatie, of zijn hiermee bezig.

Tegenstanders van online leeftijdsverificatie stellen dat het een backdoor voor surveillance is en waarschuwen dat het de privacy van iedereen bedreigt en tot censuur leidt."

"PRO-Kamerlid Kathmann heeft staatssecretaris Aerdts vandaag om opheldering gevraagd. "Deelt u onze zorgen dat deze uitspraak gevolgen kan hebben voor de rechtmatige data-uitwisseling tussen de Europese Unie en de Verenigde Staten? Wat zouden die gevolgen volgens u kunnen zijn?" De bewindsvrouw moet ook duidelijk maken of Nederland voorbereid is op een scenario waar het Data Privacy Framework ongeldig wordt verklaard.

Kathmann wil verder weten welke toezichthouder moet toezien op de (on)rechtmatige uitwisseling van data met Amerikaanse partijen als het DPF ongeldig wordt verklaard en of er scenario’s denkbaar zijn waarin aanvullende maatregelen niet volstaan en data niet meer rechtmatig met Amerikaanse partijen kan worden gedeeld. "Deelt u de mening dat de enige zekere maatregel om onrechtmatige data-uitwisseling met de Verenigde Staten te voorkomen is om veel minder afhankelijk te worden van Amerikaanse techbedrijven?", vraagt Kathmann als laatste. Aerdts heeft drie weken om met een reactie te komen."

Do you think we need more privacy? Well, so do I! Maybe we should talk?

I'm looking for collaborations, projects, and ways to promote privacy and privacy literacy (ideally offering some compensation). If you are (or your organization / company is) thinking about or already doing work on privacy-related issues that might benefit from my tech-critical, socio-legal perspective and experience in privacy education and outreach, please do not hesitate to reach out!

Baby monitors with internet connectivity have been exploited remotely by attackers who watched and spoke to children through the devices.

A clarification worth repeating: "end-to-end encrypted" is a claim about message content. It says nothing about who you talked to, when, how often, or from what device — the metadata.

A server that can't read a single message but logs all of that can still reconstruct your entire social graph. For journalists, abuse survivors, organizers — anyone whose risk is "someone learns who I talk to" — metadata is the actual attack surface. Content encryption alone doesn't close it.

Hey #Fediverse tech friends and weather geeks.
Anyone have recommendations for a home weather station that doesn't send your data out?
Indoor/outdoor temperature and humidity are preferred. If it has a air pollution sensor that would also be nice.
Yes I am looking at analog, but I'm curious what digital options exist.
It would be interesting to have some kind of weather station for wind/rain type stuff, but all the ones I see report to Amazon/Google

Just got highway 407ETR's 'revised privacy policy' (privately-run via 99-year lease signed by Harris's Tories in 1999).

It's a doozy.

S1: 1. 'Your privacy is paramount', but

S3: [by default] 'we may disclose Personal Information to third-party service providers such as marketing and communications agencies, digital or social media marketing and analytics vendors, communications service providers, and consulting firms'

So, what do we share?

A newly disclosed Linux kernel vulnerability called Bad Epoll lets an unprivileged local user gain root access on affected Linux systems and Android devices.

The flaw is notable because it exists in the same kernel code where Anthropic's AI model Mythos previously found a different vulnerability, but missed this one. A patch is available, and affected systems should be updated.

Ich hörte was aufm Computer stattfindet ist privat. Was die Leute aufm Smartphone machen ist fast schon intim.
Das macht das Absaugen von Daten von Nutzertelefonen besonders brenzlich.
Hörte es vor vielen Jahren aber es scheint was dran zu sein.
