#EU has managed to formulate an improved #GDPR:
new procedural rules for the General Data Protection Regulation. The rules will make it quicker and simpler to conduct the most complicated, cross-border investigations into personal data breaches.

You might be thinking that surely countries with spectacular landscapes and sights like Italy, Switzerland, and Norway should fit into the top ten, and so do we. But fair enough, with that particular set of data, you get those results. #roadtrip #travel #Europe

How to be careful with #AI services for #privacy (all the information you give to them is saved and used to feed the machine):
In general, don't put anything into a prompt that you wouldn't feel comfortable revealing to the public or seeing on a billboard. Remember, once you hit enter on the prompt, you've lost control of that information.

Well, here is a fresh angle to doomscrolling:
Far from being benign tools, #smartphones parasitize our time, our attention and our personal information, all in the interests of technology companies and their advertisers.

This court case will be worth following:
even when their phones are turned off, #Google causes #Android devices to surreptitiously send information over cellular networks “for Google’s own purposes,” including targeted digital advertising. These transfers improperly eat up data that users purchase from their mobile carriers, the plaintiffs allege.

#Privacy and #security focused de-googled phones ready for prime time:
When you take the best parts of Android and work to turn it into software built for users instead of financial gain, the results are amazing. With the release of /e/OS 3, it's reached the point where it's a good choice for everyone. #Android

A truly useful service Tosdr.org that summarizes Terms of Service and #Privacy Policy documents, and grades the services along the safe for use - avoid at all cost axis. My first thought was that it must be all AI, but Tosdr began more than 10 years ago.

Hmm, to me this looks more like one of many #AI apps that can independently do useful tasks for us ---
#Microsoft calls it the "open agentic web," with users sending AI-powered "agents" out into the void to do their bidding.

New Firefox: a keyboard shortcut to open a pop-up that previews a link's contents when you hover over it. It's a new way that #AI is being integrated into browsers that may help users but hurt publishers.
--- Ultimately, the #browser popup could also include and ad? ---

In Spain, the Balearic government asked influencers to help ease pressure on overcrowded hotspots by promoting less-visited areas. Instead, influencers have unintentionally drawn large crowds of tourists to remote, ecologically sensitive locations. #photography #selfiehttps://petapixel.com/2025/05/21/spanish-islands-ban-influencers-after-4000-tourists-flock-to-tiny-beach-for-selfies/
