Looks like is time to move to Europe then, I mean the whole call and write to your senators and representatives only works if they care about their people instead of corporate contributions, the whole vote for someone who cares only works if you have an alternative.
yeah this is what I’m thinking. The fact that US corps want to pull out of the UK just makes me respect the UK more… not that they don’t have their own problems, EU countries seem to be doing better in general
The issue here is that the UK isn’t doing something good in this one circumstance. You can’t create a man in the middle encryption scheme and hope your the only man in the middle. It fundamentally breaks the baseline security and privacy of the solution.
I think the commenter meant the saying we have in the US which is call and write your representatives/senators. They were indicating doing whatever the UK version of that appears to be falling on deaf ears as the article states the politicians do not appear to be taking the advise of educated advisors so they are also likely going to ignore the public.
75% of the current Tory MPs are about to lose their seats in the next election so they don’t give a fuck. The strategy they seem to be adopting to save their jobs is to swing further to the authoritarian right to try and convince boomers to vote for them.
They won’t win by taking the sensible approach to policies like this, so that only leaves incentives to do as much harm as they can in the next year or so in hopes of getting the fascist votes out.
Do as much damage as they can so they can blame it on “the left” and people actually believe them. I’ve been fighting this battle for years in Sweden. Doesn’t seem to matter to people when they’re shown black on white that what they are complaining about is a direct result of policy made by the party they’re hoping is gonna fix it. What matters to them is that they now “identify” as right leaning. Doesn’t help that emphatic and cognitive ability plummets once people turn 60, yet they can vote for another 30-40 years.
Aimed at protecting children, it lays down strict rules around policing social media content, with high financial penalties and prison time for individual tech execs if the firms fail to comply.
One clause that has proved particularly controversial is a proposal that encrypted messages, which includes those sent on WhatsApp, can be read and handed over to law enforcement by the platforms they are sent on, if there is deemed to be a national security or child protection risk.
The NSPCC children’s charity has described encrypted messaging apps as the “front line” of where child abuse images are shared, but it is also seen as an essential security tool for activists, journalists and politicians.
Microsoft reacted furiously when the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) chose to block its acquisition of the video game giant Activision Blizzard.
Also, we shouldn’t confuse “pro-innovation” with “pro-Big Tech” warns Professor Neil Lawrence, a Cambridge University academic who has previously acted as an advisor to the CMA.
Professor Alan Woodward is a cyber-security expert at Surrey University whose has worked various posts at GCHQ, the UK’s intelligence, security and cyber agency.
Reading this made me wonder if anyone working the holocaust trains had any moments of reflection as they carted people to slaughter. Maybe some of them could feign ignorance, unlike the “Texas Division of Emergency Management” Officials
Utterly disgusting that people are going along with this farce.
The one that creeped me out is the fact that my parents received a sample package of baby product from Nestle, under my name a week before my wife gave birth.
Because we were living in another country, did not say anything on social media and did not go to any medical appointment in my parents country.
Obviously Greg Abbott needs to be brought up on charges as an accessory to wrongful death under the color of law. And since he chose to propagate this act across state lines, the feds need to be brought in on the case.
Or maybe the United States can enforce its immigration laws. The thing is, they were being sent to a sanctuary city which I’m sure you’d agree is a good thing. It’s unfortunate that this child lost her life during that process.
Because you watched stuff that a lot of gay people watched and then watched more stuff the algorithm suggested based on your previous watch history. It's not magic or anything.
Seriously though, she chose a show that was randomly chosen by the algorithm, she watched it, and more content of that type was suggested to her by the algorithm.
They didn't figure anything out. There's no sentience in the algorithm, only the creators of said algorithm. It only chose content based on input. So it all revolves around the choices of the article's author.
Same thing with the woman who was pregnant, the algorithm gave choices based on the user's browsing history. It made the connection that the choice of product A was also chosen by pregnant mothers, therefore the shopper might be interested in product B which is something an expecting mother would buy.
Ugh, I was agreeing with you, and you go pedant. Come on, you should know "figure out" doesnt necessarily imply sentience. It can also be used synonymously with, "determine."
I believe in case of the pregnant women she was offered diapers and stuff. Based on food she bought. So it’s no simply “you both diet coke, maybe try diet chocolate?”. In case of Netflix there’s no " A show only gay people watch" so her complaints are silly.
Has this story ever been confirmed by Target directly? As this happened in America and her father was outraged about it, it would have been awfully convenient, to “blame” the algorithm for “discovering”, she was pregnant. It takes quite a data analyst to figure out trends before someone even knows they are pregnant. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out a pattern for someone if they know they are pregnant and are just hiding it from their dad.
Yes. It’s many years in my past, but this was confirmed. Target still does their targeting but now scatter unrelated items in the ads to hide what they know.
