“Car makers have been bragging about their cars being “computers on wheels » for years to promote their advanced features. However, the conversation about what driving a computer means for its occupants’ privacy hasn’t really caught up. While we worried that our doorbells and watches that connect to the internet might be spying on us, car brands quietly entered the data business by turning their vehicles into powerful data-gobbling machines. Machines that, because of their all those brag-worthy bells and whistles, have an unmatched power to watch, listen, and collect information about what you do and where you go in your car.All 25 car brands we researched earned our *Privacy Not Included warning label — making cars the official worst category of products for privacy that we have ever reviewed.”

“Eric Ghysels, an economics professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, noted that while an AI can be speedier than human investors moment-to-moment, it’s sluggish to adapt to « paradigm-shifting events » like the war in Ukraine — or maybe even the rise of AI. Meaning, in his opinion, an AI can’t beat human investors over time. « Maybe one day it will, but for now AI is limited to plagiarizing history, » Ghysels told the WSJ.”

La proposition française de bloquer les sites web via le navigateur nuira gravement à l’internet ouvert mondial

23 août 2023 /

“Dans une tentative louable, mais périlleuse de lutter contre la fraude en ligne, la France s’apprête à obliger les créateurs de navigateurs à mettre en œuvre une fonctionnalité technique relevant de la dystopie. L’article 6 du projet de loi SREN obligerait les développeurs de navigateur à créer les moyens de bloquer obligatoirement les sites web figurant sur une liste fournie par le gouvernement et intégrée directement dans le navigateur. Une telle mesure renverserait des décennies de normes établies en matière de modération des contenus. Celle-ci fournira également aux gouvernements autoritaires un moyen de minimiser l’efficacité des outils qui peuvent être utilisés pour contourner la censure.”

CAPTCHA : les machines « prouvent » plus rapidement qu'elles sont des humains

“Les tâches de reconnaissance d’images réputées inaccessibles pour les machines deviennent maintenant plus simples pour elles que pour les humains. Des chercheurs de l’Université de Californie à Irvine (UC Irvine) ont en effet comparé les performances des humains avec celles des algorithmes de résolution de CAPTCHA et ont montré que la machine était, la plupart du temps, meilleure et plus rapide. Ils ont présenté leurs résultats à la conférence USENIX Security en ce mois d’août (PDF).”

New AI classifier for indicating AI-written text is no longer available due to its low rate of accuracy

8 août 2023 /

“As of July 20, 2023, the AI classifier is no longer available due to its low rate of accuracy. We are working to incorporate feedback and are currently researching more effective provenance techniques for text, and have made a commitment to develop and deploy mechanisms that enable users to understand if audio or visual content is AI-generated.”

“When The New York Times reported in April that a contractor had purchased and deployed a spying tool made by NSO, the contentious Israeli hacking firm, for use by the U.S. government, White House officials said they were unaware of the contract and put the F.B.I. in charge of figuring out who might have been using the technology. After an investigation, the F.B.I. uncovered at least part of the answer: It was the F.B.I.”

“The proposal says the minor mode feature would try to prevent “internet addiction” by limiting children younger than 8 to 40 minutes of smartphone time a day. The time limit would increase with age, reaching two hours daily for those ages 16 to 18.Apps would also have to tailor their content for different age groups. Children younger than 3, for example, should be shown nursery rhymes and programs that can be watched with parents, according to documents from the Cyberspace Administration of China. Those between 8 and 12 could be offered videos about life skills, general knowledge, age-appropriate news and “entertainment content for positive guidance.””

An update on Canada’s Bill C-18 and our Search and News products – Google Public Policy

13 juillet 2023 /

“We have now informed the Government that when the law takes effect, we unfortunately will have to remove links to Canadian news from our Search, News and Discover products in Canada, and that C-18 will also make it untenable for us to continue offering our Google News Showcase product in Canada. We’re disappointed it has come to this. We don’t take this decision or its impacts lightly and believe it’s important to be transparent with Canadian publishers and our users as early as possible.”

Des données ultrasensibles sur la sécurité de la Suisse sont en ligne sur le darknet

2 juillet 2023 /

“La liste est donc sans fin, Xplain ayant des contrats avec d’innombrables services de sécurité en Suisse. Des questions fondamentales se posent: comment se fait-il que la société informatique ait gardé sur son infrastructure informatique autant de données opérationnelles de ses clients? Et pourquoi la Confédération n’a pas surveillé de près ce prestataire externe si important?”

Concerns over DNS Blocking. June 23, 2023 | by Vinton Cerf

27 juin 2023 /

“The proposed Article 35 of the Military Planning Law gives ANSSI the authority to install “technical markers” — hardware and software enabling the collection of user data on the networks of electronic communications operators and data center operators. This provision would grant ANSSI the authority to install surveillance capabilities in private data centers without due process, posing a grave risk to the civil liberties of both French and global Internet users. This appears to be in conflict not only with EU law but also with the OECD Declaration on Government Access to Personal Data Held by Private Sector Entities, which seeks to ensure that “government access should be carried out in a manner that is not excessive in relation to the legitimate aims and in accordance with legal standards of necessity, proportionality, reasonableness and other standards that protect against the risk of misuse and abuse, as set out in and interpreted within the country’s legal framework.””
