The Danish government is using the upcoming Christmas break to slip through a public consultation for a draft law that would make it an OFFENCE to use a #vpn to access content that would otherwise not be available in Denmark, or to circumvent the blocking of […]

@EUCommission in 2020: Some #AI systems are so dangerous, they should be regulated as high-risk applications with lots of safeguards.

@EUCommission in 2025: Bah, let's wait and let the high-risk shit run wild first.

Just in case you had the slightest doubt about what Elon Musk is doing with X/Twitter, look at this brief thread. He is one of the true monsters of our era, and he uses X/Twitter to guide his fellow right-wing extremists to ever-more-extreme places.

If you are still there, you should be ashamed.

Aaah finally a @Disinfo2025 panel that focuses on #freeexpression and other human rights in the context of the work against #disinformation.

The brilliant @epirkova pushes back against the instrumentalisation of #freespeech and the EU's #DSA to fuel far-right anti-democratic narratives. 👏

30 years ago, Bob Morris, then a senior scientist at NSA, gave a keynote talk at the CRYPTO conference (the leading conference for academic cryptographers).

He opened by telling us he would reveal the NSA's first rule for cryptanalysis (which certainly got our attention). "First", he said […]

Side point on #chatcontrol: When I worked on the law in the European Parliament, in the face of questionably legal, and highly problematic behavior by DG HOME, I prepared a whitepaper on why it was such a terrible Idea.

As it is in the public interest, I have decided to make that white paper […]

I currently read Alex Vitale's The End Of Policing. I was skeptical at first. After about a third I thought "Yes OK that's true but mostly applies to the US, right?"

But then, where Vitale argues #police has always been a political, never a #crime-fighting tool, I suddenly realised:

I sidste uge skrev Peter Hummelgaard i Altinget, at det er en falsk fortælling om #chatkontrol forslaget, at regeringen vil overvåge private beskeder. Kritikken var underlødig, og så videre i Hummelgaards værste stil.

Ganske bemærkelsesværdigt, når det nu står direkte i lovteksten, at alle […]
