Id love that script. In pretty sure I at least uses to fetch 1000 day across various emails but thank god almost all in Other. Embarked on campaign of unsubscribing not just deleting which made a big difference

Kendall: “I did task officials with looking at whether there were gaps, whether all AI chatbots were covered by the Act. My understanding from their work is they aren't. I am now looking at how we will cover them and if that requires legislation, then that is what we will do.”

Really. The definitions in AIA and DSA already don't line up or don't exist, insurance will definitely have the casting vote in current climate

My 'Defending MAGA-speech: Trump’s war on global data privacy' papers.ssrn.com/abstract_id=..., is a non-US analysis of how the authoritarian Trump Administration has developed a systematic foreign & domestic policy ideology with which to attack data privacy globally. Comments much appreciated.

My grandfather was a tailor, my mother ran launderettes. My father was a Dr and my generation are professors lawyers teachers. Immigrants still care about education and about being a trusted professional. These fuckers should remember that when they're getting an influencer to give them a colostomy.

I love that the dream of the smart fridge is finally here with the single most dystopian ad possible ie for Pluribus
esqueer.net Alejandra Caraballo @esqueer.net · 25d
Fresh dystopian hell from Samsung fridges with ads.
A stainless-steel, side-by-side refrigerator with a built-in touchscreen display on the right door. The screen shows a bright yellow Apple TV+ advertisement reading “WE’RE SORRY WE UPSET YOU, CAROL” for the series Pluribus. The left door includes a water and ice dispenser. The fridge is in a modern kitchen with small appliances visible in the background.

Jesus god that's dystopian. But the blue screen when it doesn't work or there's no ad will be worse... @mooseabyte.bsky.social

International Data Transfers return to the CJEU

The Market Court has resolved to submit 13 questions to the CJEU in FATCA case. The Court aims to secure critical clarification regarding the conformity of the FATCA Agreement with EU law, as well as data transfers to the U.S.
