🇬🇧 We call for #transparency in the EU Commission's #DigitalServicesAct enforcement actions against internet platforms - do they respect fundamental rights and freedom of speech or do they encourage censorship and #uploadfilters? Let's guard the guards! #Pirates

#ResearchGate has ~settled with ACS and #Elsevier, has to run #uploadfilters effective 2023-12-31 to block everything they published, except preprints and CC-licensed works. Authors will be allowed to "privately store" copies but not to get "derivative works", text extracts etc.

Sounds all very simple and easy to implement, we'll never hear about #ResearchGateGate again. /s

Grateful to everyone who's engaging thoughtfully and proactively with the Stanford team's important report on how to manage CSAM across the fediverse.

And to folks who are responding with a defense reflex, I get it, having seen Big Tech respond the same way to research & news coverage over the years.

I think a mature fediverse is possible—one that takes problems and unfavorable media seriously, channeling frustrations toward addressing problems rather than lashing out at inconvenient news.

#EU #Meta #Privacy #Surveillance #UploadFilters #DigitalRights #HumanRights #DataProtection #Messaging: "Together with an affected Facebook user, GFF is filing a lawsuit against Meta. The company automatically scans Messenger messages sent by users. In doing so, the platform violates the fundamental rights to privacy and to control one’s own data. Meta is relying on a European transitional regulation that provides for exceptions to the e-Privacy Directive for a period of three years. The lawsuit aims to oblige Meta not to scan our plaintiff’s messages and, in light of the currently planned new regulation on chat control, have the courts establish that indiscriminate scanning of messages is generally incompatible with fundamental rights." https://freiheitsrechte.org/en/themen/digitale-grundrechte/chatcontrol_facebook

Ah yes, #UploadFilters and #ChatControl will be great if we just nerd harder. We're totally able to avoid devastating false positives.
