Na een cyberaanval, ramp of het uitbreken van een oorlog moeten Nederlanders het minstens 72 uur gezellig met elkaar kunnen hebben. Dat stelde minister David van Weel in De Telegraaf.

Anyone who thinks the words ‘privacy’, ‘trust’ and ‘control’ currently belong in the same sentence as ‘information’ is selling something.
Privacy isn’t about hiding—it’s about trust and control over our own information. In her #SXSW 2025 Keynote, Signal President, @meredithmeredith.bsky.social breaks down why our privacy matters.

For those doing critical research on tech, the abrupt evaporation of 'tech ethics' beginning from the US is not surprising. It was a business strategy (albeit involving good and dedicated people) not a set of beliefs. It's interchangeable with other business strategies, and was always contingent.
Google has removed its Responsible AI Principles.
This is actually a pretty big deal.

Um, Google's AI Principles are gone.
I spent 5 years working every single day to align our work with the AI Principles as originally written. They were critically important to everything we did, including what we *didn't* do.

The Indigenous People of North America have decided to go back to calling the Gulf of Mexico, “Chalchiuhtlicueyecatl”. It is what the Nahuatl People originally called it as it is the domain of the goddess Chalchiuhtlicue, who is assoc w/water bodies, including the Gulf of Mexico.
