#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?

Dear Friends,

@heatmap_news is really promising but I can't agree to their #privacy policy. I get where they are coming from, but not ready to follow them there. #Tracking and #targeting #ads (and #retargeting) based on #behavioral #inferences are at the root of the destructiveness of the #recursive #web.

I believe that is just a #record of an interaction between two (or more) physical #structures.

Memory requires an entire physical #system able to preserve the #information contained in this record from one moment in time to another until it is retrieved (by the system) and used for something else.

According to #HvFoerster, the “integrated functional circuit” for #Cognition requires three things:

1⃣ #Perception
2⃣ #Memory, and
3⃣ #Prediction

Prediction is essential for drawing (memory-based) #inferences

” without which perception degenerates into #sensation and memory into #recording”.

@inherentlee oh my god you said "the first four volumes" didn't you #implications #inferences #deductive

I just changed instances. Hello #aus.social! Glad to be here!

Here's an #introduction.

I'm a #prof in computational #cogsci at #UniMelb. I use behavioural experiments and mathematical models to study how people #learn and #reason. I think a lot about how we make #inferences from sparse #data, how we #share information with each other, and how this affects our #cultural and #informational #systems.

I am a #parent to two amazing kids, love #teaching #rstats to psychology undergraduates, am an #American living in #Australia in the beautiful #Dandenongs, and am #trans (see post below). I try not to take myself too seriously, especially on social media.

(Un)popular opinion, I am actually glad to be able to make #inferences about the relevance of content based on the number of likes, comments, & shares it already has. Not the only measure, of course, but definitely helpful, when cross-validated with account & topic.
