A beautiful #email informing that they will update their privacy #policy for the 100th time?
Thank you #Meta for your amazing #Ai and for completely ignoring peoples #privacy over and over again 😂
Please please go ahead use all our #data as you want:

Apropos of nothing, I'm heartened by the degree to which huge swaths of communities I'm attached to (thinking #lawfedi / #legal, #technology, #policy, #podcast, etc.) have seemingly rejected the siren call of going all-in on #Threads as a Twitter/X replacement.
I know many have been sailing under their own flag for quite some time, but we're hurdling towards two years and it feels like something that can persist.
I didn't expect to have fun talking about GDPR, CRA, DMA, DSA, and all those WTFs but my colleague Denise did a stellar job at making her policy work accessible!
Because tech doesn't exist in the void, it's important to understand the role of policy & compliance people and how their expertise is crucial to us.
The #Biden admin has a plan to shut down the #border. But it needs #Mexico's help.
The admin hopes to unveil a series of executive actions that President Biden can sign but will likely have to wait for the outcome of Mexico's June 2 presidential #election.

The US Federal Communications Commission ( #FCC ) has re-instated its Net Neutrality #policy which was removed by Trump appointees. It's taken Biden this long to get a commissioner who supports it onto the FCC - his previous appointee was rejected by the Senate. This article explains what #netneutrality is and some of the hurdles yet to cross. https://www.pocket-lint.com/what-is-net-neutrality/
🔓 We are telling #G7 leader that the #AI infrastructure must be #open.

Usually science administrators prefer to hide behind a Popperian curtain of political neutrality - even where actual scientists <@ScientistRebellion > get arrested - but the actual disconnect between the scientific consensus and the miasma exhaled by certain political agendas is now so obvious that even the conservative academies of science are accepting that they are, indeed, political actors with moral responsibilities.

The @EU_Commission has launched a public #policy consultation on the rules defining the European #standards system (aka regulation 1025). The top-line for me is it completely ignores #OpenSource while making both engagement in standardisation and use of standards very hard for open source community members.
Unsurprisingly, the consultation's survey makes it extremely hard to tell them this! I think @osi will be attaching a letter to its input! The deadline is July 25.
Migrant crossings on the #US - #Mexico#border have dropped significantly in the first 3 months of the year, acc/to official figures, from a peak of 301,981 in Dec to under 200,000 a month from Jan - Mar. That could ease political pressure on #POTUS#Biden, but #Republicans are likely to continue attacking him by pointing out that border crossings remain relatively high.
In Vox, I explained how federal policy encourages car bloat, making American vehicles more enormous, polluting, and dangerous than they'd otherwise be.
That's the exact opposite of what we should be doing.
Encyclopaedia Metallum¹ just put out an interesting statement² on AI. Despite being in text, I have to make it an image because of character counts. One of the ironies of living in my SF future apparently.
