Privacy-by-design: что наш edge не пишет на диск и почему это сложнее, чем кажется
Я пилю VantageDNS — рекурсивный DNS-резолвер с фильтрацией. NextDNS-clone, если коротко: юзер настраивает роутер на наш DoH endpoint, а мы рекурсивно резолвим и заодно режем рекламу, трекеры и malware. Privacy-фокус для такого продукта это не маркетинговая фича, а архитектурное ограничение, которое надо тащить с первого дня. Privacy policy без архитектурных гарантий — это обещание не лезть в твою тумбочку, ключи от которой ты сам отдал. В этой статье конкретика: что edge-нода не пишет на диск, как устроен кольцевой буфер для query log, что делать с crash dumps, и как юзер может проверить, что мы не врём, через strace . Что мы не пишем на диск

"The Manhattan court order requiring OpenAI to hand over 20 million anonymized ChatGPT conversations to the New York Times and other publishers as part of a copyright lawsuit is being viewed as a turning point in data privacy, and not in a good way.
We obtained a copy of the order for you here.
What appears as a routine evidence request has opened the door to something far more troubling: the normalization of mass data disclosure from private digital interactions, justified in the name of legal discovery.
Even though the court insists that users’ identifying information will be stripped away, the scope of this order is staggering.
Twenty million chat logs represent millions of individual exchanges that some users believed were confidential. These records contain not just questions or writing samples, but fragments of personal thought, sensitive health concerns, professional secrets, intimate reflections, and sometimes details that no one ever intended to share beyond a chatbot interface.
The problem lies in the illusion of anonymization."

Last week was another stakeholder meeting on #DNS4EU. #Whalebone provided a short overview of the project including a timeline. Public launch is scheduled for June this year. The talk elaborates on various considerations of the new #DNS project. I was mostly interested in the deployment aspect, the #DDoS slides and the #privacy and #anonymization mechanisms.
My personal main concern with the project is the absence of resolver technology. The project plainly uses the #KnotDNS resolver. Not a bad choice, but University taught me that diversity in the backend software introduces even more resiliency. Yet, as Whalebone is a #Czech company, it is apparent why they chose #KnotDNS exclusively.
The slides are public.

2- We have also shipped this standalone version in a #Docker image 🐳 based on the #frankenphp 🧟 one. #devops, you now have no more excuses to add an #anonymization workflow on all your #cicd !
3- Last but not least, this release comes with an experimental package for #laravel ! (thanks to @lonnytunes)
As said, this is experimental: we need feed-backs to improve this package to make it an official flavor of DbToolsBundle 🤗2/3

"This article uses the case study of an insurance product linked to a health and wellbeing program—the Vitality scheme—as a lens to examine the limited regulation of collection and use of non-personal (de-identified/anonymised) information and the impacts it has on individuals, as well as society at large. Vitality is an incentive-based engagement program that mobilises online assessment tools, preventive health screening, and physical activity and wellness tracking through smart fitness technologies and apps. Vitality then uses the data generated through these activities, mainly in an aggregated, non-personal form, to make projections about changes in behaviour and future health outcomes, aiming at reducing risk in the context of health, life, and other insurance products. Non-personal data has been traditionally excluded from the scope of legal protections, and in particular privacy and data regimes, as it is thought not to contain information about specific, identifiable people, and thus its potential to affect individuals in any meaningful way has been understood to be minimal. However, digitalisation and ensuing ubiquitous data collection are proving these traditional assumptions wrong. We show how the response of the legal systems is limited in relation to non-personal information collection and use, and we argue that irrespective of the (possibly) beneficial nature of insurance innovation, the current lack of comprehensive regulation of non-personal data use potentially leads to individual, collective and societal data harms, as the example of the Vitality scheme illustrates."

anti keystroke deanonymization tool.
#kloak : Keystroke-level online #anonymization #kernel.
A privacy tool that makes keystroke biometrics less effective. This is accomplished by obfuscating the time intervals between key press and release events, which are typically used for identification.

Mini Metro is an Android game with daily challenges where you can compete against other players. If you don't nogin to Google Play, instead of a nominative leaderboard (which would require getting other people personal data), it shows a bargraph of everyone scores, highlighing where you stand.
A good example of #anonymization, in fact I think this gives more info than a leaderboard!

Celebrations! 🥳
The two billionth signal reached our servers. That's two billion clicks, taps, and app starts that provide information about the use of an app that were NOT attributed to a natural or legal person thanks to #anonymization.

@tanepiper @Patrickstewart There was a case in Germany in 2018 that ruled #anonymisation wasn't enough because it was possible to trace back the person https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/data-anonymization-right-forgotten-bill-tolson. The #ICO in the UK produced a guidance on true #anonymization & talks about the "motivated intruder test". https://ico.org.uk/media/about-the-ico/documents/4018606/chapter-2-anonymisation-draft.pdf. Both EU/UK seem aligned but #courtcases are still too far & few between to establish a solid #commonlaw on this aspect of the right to be forgotten in #GDPR.

🧵 I've long been skeptical of double-anonymised peer review, due to the high prevalence of re-identification, its clash with the principle of transparency, the increased difficulty of identifying author COIs and self-citation, and the often-weak evidence for its benefits.
However...

"Estimating the success of #reidentification in incomplete datasets":
"We find that 99.98% of Americans would be correctly re-identified in any dataset using 15 demographic attributes. Our results suggest that even heavily sampled anonymized #datasets are unlikely to satisfy the modern standards for #anonymization set forth by #GDPR and seriously challenge the technical and legal adequacy of the de-identification release-and-forget model."
