I am a huge fan of preserving history. One of my major interests is digital preservation and digital libraries. So i will start sharing info on that.
To start things off I would like to give a shout out to the DPC organization for the work they do on helping others stay aware. Here is a link to the digital preservation handbook.

Quick sums, please: what is €250m as a percentage of €134.9bn?

Hey digipres.club, we're joining the party over here on Mastodon, so this is our #introduction
The Digital Preservation Coalition (#DPC) is building a welcoming and inclusive global community, working together with members and non-members alike to bring about a sustainable future for our digital assets.
Looking forward to chatting with you all about #digipres matters!
Max Schrems:”Last week the Irish #DPC proudly announced that they got an "undertaking" from xAI that they will not use EU user data anymore to train its new AI model. Not even a week later #Grok2 was today announced.
So turns out the AI model was already trained (with EU data) and the "untertaking" is likely worthless.
Good Job #DPC enforcing the #GDPR!

Xitter suspends processing of some personal data for AI training
by Eliza Gkritsi via @euractiv_tech
The Data Protection Commission has launched High Court proceedings against Twitter International Unlimited Company over concerns about how the personal data of millions of European users of the "X" platform is being processed.
It is also claimed that #twitter International has refused requests from the DPC to cease processing the personal data in question or to defer the launch of the next edition of 'Grok.' #x #dpc
Full story: https://lnkd.in/eBPaPqeg.
@www.thejournal.ie @faduda I would not be surprised if #DPC didn’t have specific complaints re Grok and this is hopefully an attempt to bolt the gate before the horse legs it.
Meta hits out at Irish regulator as it pauses plans to train AI models with user data
Facebook owner calls request by Data Protection Commission a ‘step backwards for European innovation’ https://www.businesspost.ie/article/meta-hits-out-at-irish-regulator-as-it-pauses-plans-to-train-ai-models-with-user-data/ #meta #ai #dpc
I believe the enforcement body for privacy law in the EU is called @noybeu – did I get that right?
#Meta is having a very bad year. The latest decision (issued by the #CJEU yesterday in Meta Platforms Inc, et al., v. Bundeskartellamt, C-C252/21) adds to their woes, but more importantly, I anticipate it will force us all to re-evaluate #processing, #lawful bases, special category data, and #inferences derived from that data.
In my article, I explore the case in detail, as well as some hypotheses on the impact of this decision broadly to #BigTech, with examples.
But I'm curious to hear your thoughts and observations. Am I being a Cassandra? Overly pessimistic? Completely overthinking this? What implications am I missing?
I'll note here (even though I didn't mention it in the article) that this may also portend the effective death of the One Stop Shop mechanism, which is already on shaky ground after the whole spat between the #DPC and other regulators. Who needs Ireland if competition authorities can also raise issues under the GDPR?

Criticising the Irish Data Protection Commission and Big Tech to become illegal in Ireland if this bill passes.
This is not a drill.
This must be stopped.
