The other day, @npub14e7v...e044 published a agreat video explaining whats is wrong with the Digital Omnibus, a bundle of laws the EU commission wants to pass quickly in order to weaken the data protection standards the EU previously established in the GDPR. My favourite quote is what @npub15n69...9p0n says around minute 42: When we talk about the AI discussion I usually kind of allude that originally when we came up with all those principles in the eighties in the Council of Europe, the idea was always that we are going to have this big algorithm that is going to suck up all your data, come to weird conclusions, and therefore we need transparency, rectification – we need all these things. And now, exactly at the time when this is the reality then suddenly the argument is we have to get rid of all these rules that were made for exactly this situation. So all this icks me a bit on all of that. If you read it you sometimes get the idea that the commission wants to get to the AI promised land. And to get there we need to cut right through the whole GDPR. Video: More: Next week, NOYB will publish the "GDPR Reform Report" with more details. #DigitalOmnibus #GDPR #GDPRchanges #AIAct #aihype

Als gelernter und inzwischen entfremdeter Ossi fand ich diese Reportagereise eines Schweizer Journalisten durch Ostdeutschland aufschlussreich. Ich mag, dass er nachfragt. Wenn Leute klagen, »alles« sei so schlimm geworden, fragt er: »Was denn so«? Und dann kommen manchmal interessante Aussagen. Warum machen das nicht mehr Journalisten so? Es geht natürlich v.a. um die Frage, warum in manchen Gegenden jede:r zweite AfD wählt. Warum sollte man sich sonst für die Ex-DDR interessieren? Bonuspunnkte dafür, dass er mit #Oschmann und #Kowalczuk gesprochen hat. Seite zur Sendung: Video: #Mediathek #noAfD #DDR #Ostdeutschland #Reportage #Dokumentation
I'm running a mostly German-speaking Mastodon instance with half-open registration. So when I receive an account application in English, it's almost always from a bot or click-worker/slave trying to create sleeper accounts for use in spam campaigns. Here is a rather disingenious, very generic application that came in today: I would like to register on this site to explore its features, connect with the community, and contribute valuable insights. I’m genuinely interested in engaging with discussions, learning from others, and sharing meaningful content that aligns with the platform’s purpose and values.
