Miguel Afonso Caetano"In a stunning reversal, the European Commission is once again poised to undermine the privacy of citizens across Europe in the ongoing eIDAS reform process. After promising to close a dangerous loophole in the eIDAS implementing acts, the Commission has yielded to powerful industry lobbyists and reintroduced an optional regime for “relying party registration certificates.” This dramatic backslide threatens the core principle of the European Digital Identity (EUDI) Wallet project: namely, giving users across the EU secure digital identities under reliable and uniform protections."<a href="https://epicenter.works/en/content/eu-commission-undermines-eidas-protections-again" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://epicenter.works/en/content/eu-commission-undermines-eidas-protections-again</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/EU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EU</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/eIDAS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#eIDAS</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DigitalIdentity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DigitalIdentity</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DigitalID" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DigitalID</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DigitalRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DigitalRights</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/ConsumersRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ConsumersRights</a>

Brian Greenberg🛡️ Online Tracking Is Out of Control — Here’s How You Can Fight Back — The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) is taking aim at online surveillance with Privacy Badger, a free, open-source browser extension designed to block trackers and disrupt the business model of behavioral advertising.🔍 Here’s how it protects your privacy: 🔹 Blocks third-party trackers and cookies from loading on websites. 🔹 Sends Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals to opt out of data sharing (legally binding in several U.S. states). 🔹 Neutralizes social media trackers by replacing embedded content with click-to-activate placeholders. 🔹 Disrupts adtech profits by denying them access to your data — weakening the surveillance economy.📢 Until we have strong federal privacy laws, tools like Privacy Badger offer real, immediate protection.<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Privacy</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/CyberSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CyberSecurity</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/EFF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EFF</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/DigitalRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DigitalRights</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/AdTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AdTech</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/OnlineTracking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OnlineTracking</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/@eff" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@eff@mastodon.social</a> <a href="https://twitter.oksocial.net/users/eff" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@eff@twitter.oksocial.net</a> <a href="https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/03/online-tracking-out-control-privacy-badger-can-help-you-fight-back" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/03/online-tracking-out-control-privacy-badger-can-help-you-fight-back</a>

Miguel Afonso Caetano"In technology policy circles, the EU is often positioned as the “third way” — an alternative to the laissez-faire approach in America, where market forces steer tech development, and China’s state-controlled model, where technology is instrumentalised for political control. The EU’s rights-based regulatory approach offers a democracy-driven alternative. But India is keen to claim its own role offering an alternative to Chinese and American tech governance. After a decade of Digital India policies, this is well under way. Since its launch by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government in 2015, the Digital India initiative has delivered spectacular results. The uptake of digital identities, payment systems and internet access has steadily climbed, although a significant gender gap remains.Nearly 6mn Indians work in the technology sector, and the country is now exporting its digital public infrastructure model to emerging economies. From Aadhaar, the world’s largest biometric ID system, to Unified Payments Interface, the payments network, Indian tech is gaining traction across the global south.But there is a flip side. India also holds the dubious distinction of being the global leader in internet shutdowns — with more than 800 reported in the past decade. Critics argue that these shutdowns are human rights violations, as are restrictions to press freedom, digital rights and data privacy. Significant numbers of content moderation requests are made by the government itself. Elon Musk’s X is suing over what it considers illegal requests to censor content on the platform."<a href="https://www.ft.com/content/10ac3203-c694-409e-b053-73c418fca827" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.ft.com/content/10ac3203-c694-409e-b053-73c418fca827</a><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/India" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#India</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/HumanRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HumanRights</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DigitalRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DigitalRights</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Privacy</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/InternetShutdowns" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InternetShutdowns</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Censorship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Censorship</a>

Miguel Afonso Caetano"Big Tech’s influence in Washington, DC, is not new, but private tech and governmental interests are merging in ways that represent a concerning reconfiguration. In part two of our series on the Trump administration’s first 100 days, we highlight three key trends:- Large tech companies have long sought influence in Washington, but many are now bending to state power because they know the administration is picking winners and losers.- Today’s dynamic between the private sector and our government started taking shape well before November 2024. Large tech companies’ acquiescence offers the government unprecedented power over communications platforms and infrastructure.In analyzing the Trump administration’s first 30 days, we unpacked efforts to weaken the federal government’s pillars of independent oversight, undermine institutions protecting consumers and their data, and access sensitive data across government without regard for privacy and security. Each of these efforts persists—as dramatically demonstrated by President Trump’s attempts to fire Democratic Federal Trade Commission (FTC) commissioners Alvaro Bedoya and Rebecca Kelly Slaughter.

fraggleThe hacker ethic is not just about breaking into systems. It is about curiosity, freedom of information, and pushing boundaries. Whether in coding, electronics, or security research, hackers have shaped technology by challenging limitations and advocating for an open digital world.At its core, the hacker ethic believes that information should be free, access to computers should be unrestricted, and knowledge should be shared, not hoarded. This philosophy led to the rise of open source software, community driven development, and even movements like WikiLeaks and the fight for digital privacy.From early phone phreakers exploring the telephone networks to modern security researchers uncovering vulnerabilities, hacking has always been about understanding and improving systems, not just exploiting them. Whether you are tweaking Linux, reverse engineering hardware, or finding creative workarounds, if you seek knowledge and believe in sharing it, you are embracing the hacker spirit.<a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/hackerethic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HackerEthic</a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/opensource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenSource</a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/techfreedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TechFreedom</a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/infosec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InfoSec</a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/digitalrights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#digitalrights</a>
