I got #ChatGPT to write my last newsletter. It saved me a lot of time, but the Open Rate and Click Through Rate are slightly lower. May be because of the long weekend here in the USA? Can AI help write better engaging emails?

Leave me your comments.

I feell one area which is missing is authenticity. This is very important in art, “to be yourself”.

Many of the debates, struggles and disagreements on #moderation and blocking of individual instances mirror the days of the commercial explosion of email adoption.

Say that #Mastodon is like email, but if we accept that is true of how email was then (as opposed to now) then we could simlarly learn from how spam and abuse was addressed then in email too

#M3AAWG is an industry group about exactly this, publishing decades of best practices https://www.m3aawg.org/published-documents

#M3AAWG comments on the FTC's proposed rule Trade Regulation Rule on Impersonation of Government and Businesses is available. I was one of the contributors to the comment.

In the comment, M3AAWG "suggests additional regulatory solutions and best practices to complement the goals of this rule, such as clarifying the scope of the rule to include the use of domain names in impersonation schemes and the use of technologies that enable impersonation" and the important role that Whois plays in investigating impersonation and fraud.

Several reports that my Interisle colleagues and I published are cited in the comment, along with the 2022 DNS Abuse Study Commissioned by the European Commission, which also quotes from our #phishing studies. Statistics generated from data collected at our Cybercrime Information Center project, https://cybercrimeinfocenter.org are cited as well.

The #APWG and Coalition for a Secure and Transparent Internet (#CSTI) also submitted comments with similar observations and support for regulation. I'll share those links when I receive them.

#infosec can effect change

Proposed Rule: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2022/10/17/2022-21289/trade-regulation-rule-on-impersonation-of-government-and-businesses#open-comment
