FYI: EU AI Act gets its first real haircut - high-risk deadlines pushed to 2027: EU Council and Parliament today agreed to simplify AI Act rules under Digital Omnibus VII, fixing new high-risk deadlines and adding a ban on AI-generated CSAM. https://ppc.land/eu-ai-act-gets-its-first-real-haircut-high-risk-deadlines-pushed-to-2027/ #EUAIAct #ArtificialIntelligence #AIEthics #DataProtection #DigitalPolicy

Man liest gerade, dass LinkedIn wohl ziemlich genau weiß, was auf unseren Rechnern so installiert ist. Einfach so. Im Hintergrund.

Und plötzlich wirkt dieses „wir hören nur zu, wenn ihr sprecht“ ein bisschen großzügig formuliert. Vielleicht ist die eigentliche Frage nicht, ob geschaut wird, sondern wie viel wir davon einfach hinnehmen. Mit Profilbild.

This is significant because Norway is not merely discussing child-safety guidance; reports say it plans legislation that would bar under-16s from social media and shift enforcement responsibility onto platforms through age verification.

📷 KI-generierte Darstellungen sexualisierter Gewalt gegen Kinder sind real und nehmen zu. Das Problem: Technologie entwickelt sich schneller als Recht und Regulierung. Es fehlen klare Einordnungen, Standards und Verantwortlichkeiten.

Wie Sebastian Gutknecht, Direktor der BzKJ, betont, braucht es dringend mehr Austausch zwischen Praxis, Wissenschaft und Regulierung. Kinderschutz darf nicht hinter Technik zurückbleiben.

Guten Morgen ☕️

Alle reden gerade wieder über KI-Regulierung,
als könnte man Zukunft in Paragrafen sortieren. Ich lese das und hab eher das Gefühl: wir verhandeln gerade, wie viel Mensch wir uns noch leisten wollen.

Draußen zwitschern die Vögel komplett unreguliert.

Vielleicht erstmal da anfangen.

“Pronta l’app per verificare l’età”
Von der Leyen annuncia un’app UE per la verifica dell’età: test in 5 Paesi (anche Italia), promessa come anonima e non tracciabile. L’app sarà open source e potrà essere adottata anche fuori dall’UE. Resta da capire come verrà garantito l’anonimato nella pratica e quali standard verranno usati.

Supported by a new national strategy, community networks in South Africa have an opportunity to make their voices heard in spaces where connectivity is regulated – spaces historically difficult to access for them.

The South Africa School of Digital Policy (ZASDIP 2026/CN) is helping turn lived experience into policy influence – equipping communities with the tools to advocate, engage and lead.

European distrust of US tech firms hit 84% in new polling, with German distrust at 91% - near the statistical ceiling. The numbers reflect six years of legal concerns about the CLOUD Act, not just political sentiment. One sentence in the upcoming EU Cloud and AI Development Act may determine whether sovereignty means control or just physical presence on EU soil. https://www.implicator.ai/europes-distrust-of-american-tech-isnt-a-trump-mood-its-written-in-us-law/ #EUtech #CloudSovereignty #DigitalPolicy

The South Africa School for Digital Policy / Community Networks edition (ZASDIP 2026/CN) will host its first cohort from 12 to 16 April 2026 in Johannesburg.

This edition of ZASDIP will help amplify largely unheard voices, inspiring communities to shape digital policy while ensuring South Africa’s digital transformation becomes inclusive, equitable and participatory.

The CLOUD Act problem. The legal privilege problem. And a new statutory role -- the Data Enforcer -- that needs to exist by late 2026 and currently doesn't.

"The brief makes the case that the forthcoming #Cloud and #AI Development Act and the Digital Leadership window of the European Competitiveness Fund offer concrete opportunities to embed #publicdatastorage within the EU’s #digitalpolicy framework—not as a time-limited project, but as durable #publicinfrastructure deserving sustained public investment."

Much of the conversation around AI and data privacy centers on compliance frameworks.

Less attention is given to how systems and decisions are evaluated under scrutiny—whether in legal or regulatory contexts.

That distinction matters.

Across domains, outcomes hinge not just on meeting requirements, but on whether reasoning and evidence can be clearly explained and defended.

Die EU zwingt X erstmals unter dem Digital Services Act zu Änderungen – inklusive 120 Mio. € Strafe und Anpassungen beim „Verifizierungs“-System. Ein wichtiger Präzedenzfall.
Aber: Solange Plattformen Verifikation, Werbungstransparenz und Datenzugang erst nach Druck korrigieren, zeigt das auch, wie schwach Governance ohne Durchsetzung bleibt. Regulierung wirkt – aber nur, wenn sie tatsächlich angewendet wird.

Game-Changer: Meta vor Gericht! ⚖️

Solltet ihr schon mit dem Lesen und Stöbern in unserem SfE Forum fertig sein...

📚✨ Eine bahnbrechende Schlagzeile für Euch: Meta wird verklagt! Diesmal können sie sich nicht hinter dem „wir hosten nur“-Argument verstecken!!
💬 Denn angeklagt sind nicht Inhalte, sondern das Plattform-Design als solches! 🧩 Das könnte tatsächlich die Haftungslogik erschüttern und endlich Veränderungen erreichen. 🛠️

#FOSDEM is about to start — and the hardest part is choosing.

A few pointers:

🔐 Security devroom → supply chain, crypto, zero trust
⚖️ Legal & Policy devroom (Sat) → CRA, interoperability, user rights
🇪🇺 Open Source & EU Policy (Sun) → DSA, age verification, encryption, sovereignty
🧪 “Unusual” tracks → mesh networks, Fediverse, decentralised comms

Tip: don’t chase everything. Follow one line of reasoning and go deep.

The EU has fined X €120M under the Digital Services Act for transparency-related violations, including gaps in political ad repositories and restrictions on researcher access. X has stated it disagrees with the decision.

For the security community, this raises important questions about:
• the role of data access in identifying influence operations
• how platforms can support threat research at scale
• how regulatory frameworks may evolve across regions

Thoughts on how transparency and researcher access should be structured for large platforms?
