Verdacht der russischen Propaganda: EU sperrt Plattform Voice of Europe
Die EU hat Sanktionen gegen das russische Portal sowie drei weitere russische Medien beschlossen. Voice of Europe steht im Verdacht, russische Propaganda zu verbreiten und europäische Politiker bestochen zu haben.
1/🧵#EU: Criteria for assessing when someone is labelled a "potential terrorist or violent extremist threat" has been finalised by member states–which may facilitate the monitoring, #surveillance and restriction of political activities and #activists.
They say the goal of the new criteria “is to promote entering such individuals into the European databases and information systems"
#EU#AI#AIAct#Copyright#TDM: "This policy brief further develops the ideas expressed in our previous policy brief on this topic in light of the copyright provisions of the AI Act. Article 53(1c) of the AI Act requires providers of general-purpose AI models to implement policies to comply with EU copyright law, particularly, with the machine-readable opt-outs from the text and data mining (TDM) exception. This new Open Future policy brief explores what such a compliance policy might look like in practice. It provides an overview of the technical standards and services that are available to implement rights holders’ opt-outs in a way that is effective, scalable, and able to meet the needs of both rights holders and AI model developers.
The brief argues that to achieve this goal, four different aspects of machine-readable opt-outs require further attention: the identifiers for works, the vocabulary for opt-outs, the infrastructure used to communicate and respect opt-outs, and the effect of an opt-out once it has been recorded. For each of these four areas, there is a need to build consensus and converge on solutions that work for all stakeholders."
👨💼: Hello this is the market surveillance authority for the #EU#AIAct, how can we help?
🤦♀️: Hi, I'd like to report an AI system. I just turned it on this morning and it's only gone and violated several of my fundamental rights.
👨💼: Sorry to hear that, how bad is the damage?
🤦♀️ : Pretty bad. There's smoke coming out of Article 7 and I can see it's infringed all down the side of Article 10. I'm not even going to look at Article 11 without my safety goggles.
Today, we launched our new Mastodon instance. It will ensure a privacy-focused space to engage with and get the latest from our Commissioners, departments, and the official voices of the Commission.
We want to thank @Mastodon for stewarding us and helping us make this possible.
Fostering European digital players is vital to our strategy for a stronger #DigitalEU.
This is a unique opportunity to grow the community even more. Let's get there!
But a press release or longer text for transparency would be fine. Many people don't know why your old instance is given up. And we are curious if we'll find only the commission on Mastodon or more organisations and important politicians?
In the comments here you see: we need answers to understand all that.
