Late to the party but just wanted to mention that it's hard to over-estimate the importance of the French constitutional court's decision to strike down #Macron's ill-advised social media ban for kids.

Anthropic’s ‘watermark’ in Claude isn’t just a feature, it’s a quiet corruption of writing. By subtly altering text to embed hidden patterns, they’re prioritizing traceability over truth. Writers deserve better. Readers deserve better. Let’s talk about why this matters. #AI #Ethics #DigitalRights

Ah, nothing screams innovative like slapping a "watermark" on digital text to appease the EU regulatory overlords. 🎉 Who knew that the future of writing was drowning in bureaucratic compliance? 🙄 Let's all give Anthropic a big round of applause for turning #creativity into a game of "spot the #watermark." 🏆

DfE considered a privacy-preserving child identifier specifically designed to limit cross-system correlation.
It rejected it.
Its architecture instead accepted the NHS number itself — “in the clear” — as the common identifier, while current code still models records spanning health, education, children’s services and crime/justice.
