#ireland runs a regime where big tech is hardly taxed and is subject to hardly any data privacy oversight. Now the #fg #ff #greens want to make the lack of data protection even more intransparent. This is an attempt to make the great work of people like #maxschrems even more difficult by criminalising it.

Because people who hack your system and steal your data, and are probably on the other side of the planet to Australia will immediately obey that injunction!

#USS #Capita #datatheft ("cyber event"). I have written some questions to USS. I am not sure signing up to #Experian #IdentityPlus is in our own inzerest. They essentially want ALL your data and they are neither very transparent what they do with it, nor is their data safety record "impeccable" either (to say the least).
A lot of fear mongering!

Probe finds private trust collected Bengaluru voter data illegally and stored in foreign servers

The probe was initiated after an investigative report published by TNM and Pratidvani exposed how a private trust named Chilume had carried out large-scale voter data theft in Bengaluru.

To prevent #DataTheft from somebody selling their #SteamDeck to another person you have to allow encryption, preferably #FullDiskEncryption!

One day you might wanna give your Steam Deck to another person and then what?

You're gonna wipe it? Overwrite the data several times so nobody can recover your data and try to steal it from you? Perhaps that will work.

Perhaps I'm the too sensitive one who thinks that it's easier to get my data than it actually is in reality.

We'll see...

Also #Privacy and #SteamDeck they don't go hand in hand.

Massive corporation #Valve I don't think care about privacy that much. A bit is just #CommonSense.

Or...perhaps their first thought isn't "What if our customers want to sell their Steam Decks to somebody else?". Preventing #DataTheft, that's a risk today!

They want to sell more game devices so we get a standardized #Linux device that #GameDevelopers can target once we achieve #TotalDomination!(which will happen! Give it time!)

Not just ethics but law.

Even just using public data, it's a copyright lawsuit waiting to happen. But dipping into private data must surely create even better opportunities to disassemble such unscrupulous endeavors to the last brick.

It's questionable whether AI is good for society even if used in the ways one can narrowly suggest are good. I think our unemployment levels will skyrocket and we don't have a good enough understanding of the need for UBI.

But the idea of turning such tech to "hacking" raises the threat stakes and brings liability into sharp focus. We need a good strong liability suit, if not a criminal trial, to set the deep pockets makers of these things to pondering why they want to go down this rathole at all.

I think it was generally a bad thing that the DMCA moved toward criminalizing copyright violation. It should have remained a civil matter. It was all about slinging power around. But if there are going to be criminal laws against using works you don't have permission for, this would be a great place to see those teeth exercised for some social good.
