Article 9(2)(e) purpose limitation question, though the judgement didn't really say much on it, which I think confirms my earlier interpretation (see also AG opinion, paras. 41-46). In that context, noyb also says (noyb.eu/en/cjeu-meta...) that that purpose limitation just runs in parallel.

(Sorry for the late response, just got done with exams and I know I have to catch up on some other mentions as well.) So I think Meta v. Bundeskartellamt is relevant here, specifically paras. 81 and 82 because it seems to imply that an element of making SCD manifestly public requires the DS to have

This is important as the Facebook Messenger team appears to be staying the course to roll out E2EE more widely (though past chats continue to be in plain text), in contrast to the (albeit limited) E2EE opt-in option being killed on Instagram. www.wired.com/story/the-da... I did a more in-depth

However this only seems to work if you select a certain (eligible, and not all seem to be) group chat and then select 'Start end-to-end encrypted group chat' which brings you to a new chat UI where the text explicitly notes that chats are end-to-end encrypted, also confirmed by the sidebar.

I think Facebook is perhaps slowly testing support for end-to-end encryption in Messenger group chats. This does not appear to be documented anywhere and I may be part of a limited early rollout or test group, but I was able to create a new E2EE chat group on the web version of Messenger.

Is OpenAI bothered I'm not contributing to climate change enough that it keeps sending me these 'pwease use our product' messages?

Hm, got this reminder in my inbox from Google. Interesting that it specifically mentions Article 5(2) DMA and doesn't exclude other EU laws from potentially requiring the same (see Meta v. Bundeskartellamt).

Imagine this being your legacy LOL

Are we really sure that's what the court is saying here? My reading here is that they reference para. 547 not to say that Article 2 TEU cannot ever reach beyond the usual (Charter) scope of Union law but to underline that the breach of Article 2 TEU values must be systemic, lest limits contained

And also the GDPR, naturally

Nope, no such category exists on the mobile app. Might just have to do with steering clear as far as possible from any app store ToS regarding porn and sexual content.

Meta just doesn't relent and wants to integrate Messenger more closely into Facebook. Thank god for @beeper.com! In addition to Instagram DMs, I'll probably move Facebook Messenger there as well.

STFU, you were in favor of the TikTok ban, resulting in its sale to the right's media empire, ensuring all the biggest tech companies toe the Trump line, a massive own goal by the Dems. I get the leftist desire to regulate, but sadly the record reveals Dem politicians to be utter fucking morons 🤷‍♂️

Oh, also, I forgot, this is also maybe kinda illegal under Article 5(6) DMA? (I don't care to read the whole agreement though to see if they give an out for this.)

Can I have some more of them slides?

I really miss the old internet

I've always been annoyed at how democracy rankings ignore assessing how democratic backsliding potential. Many older "full democracies" (US, UK, Nordics) are some of the most prone because they often lack serious constitutional barriers to backsliding. Here's them coming into contact with fascism:

Please make more slop! Zuck begs of you! (Literally who can still put up with using these platforms?)

I don't appreciate this Mark Cuban quote in a signals processing class I'm taking He said this at the Upfront Summit in 2017, so I guess we've been living among tons of dinosaurs since 2020, even before the AI hype cycle started... Wish we didn't do this "billionaire said a thing!" regurgitation

Interesting that TikTok decided to add this banner to their web app. Linked article: www.tiktok.com/legal/update...

Discord has a new annual recap feature that requires you to have had personalization turn on (enabling it now doesn't give you 2025 recap). support.discord.com/hc/en-us/art... Of course, enabling personalization also enables a bunch of other (unwanted) things: support.discord.com/hc/en-us/art...

The Austrian Supreme Court did, no? Or did you mean post-DSA? We could've been spared some trouble if they hadn't violated their obligation to refer the question to the CJEU... noyb.eu/sites/defaul...

Out of nowhere, Instagram is once again begging me to give it location access. (I'm not setting this up on a new device and this prompt has been shown to me twice now.)

And even more pointless ones like this (I don't think they could improve consent rates with this). If I were even more evil, I would suggest a "ahh we detected a consent rejection signal, just to confirm, are you sure?" There is no low this industry won't stoop down to

If the mandate for legally binding browser consent signals is not well-drafted, this is where the goalposts will shift to

I'm sure it's a coincidence that Sony also has its own music label. I'd be quite surprised if they weren't using the aggregated (anonymized) statistics to inform their business decisions there.

Parliament is also calling for "a ban on sites not complying with EU rules". LOL Same energy

The screenshot prevention features really do be like that www.instagram.com/reel/DG5GoJI...

EUR-Lex has finally leveled up and now has an actual working table of contents. It only took decades but good that we finally have this (albeit I imagine only some legal documents)!

Linked article: help.x.com/en/rules-and... ID-based verification to be made available in the coming weeks but subscribers that already underwent it should apparently already be treated as adults. Can't find a way to trigger facial age estimation either. And of course... LOL GDPR compliance
