"“The failure is on [#OMB Deputy Director for Management] Jason Miller, [#USDS Administrator] Mina Hsiang, [#GSA Administrator] Robin Carnahan. It’s the truth. If they don’t align and start executing, then Congress should be calling them up and asking them hard questions,” a senior federal IT official told FedScoop." https://fedscoop.com/top-biden-tech-priorities-stalled-by-misalignment-between-federal-it-teams/

3 federal agencies released interim rule expanding gov't ban on #TikTok to future #contract #solicitations, capping efforts by #Congress, #OMB to limit app’s use across the govt over national #security concerns.

⟨ " … a broader problem — our nation’s overall failure to address concerns over the huge amount of personal data collected in our digital lives […]

In fact, China’s 2017 National Intelligence Law requires Chinese companies to furnish any customer information relevant to China’s national security. […]

Moreover, if it wanted to collect information on Americans, China could sidestep a ban and legally, though with a little more effort, purchase almost limitless amounts of information from data brokers who stockpile information about our online activities.

If we had comprehensive laws that limit the collection and misuse (including the potential export to China) of Americans’ online personal data, then fears about the Chinese authorities using the app for surveillance and data collection would be greatly reduced. The freewheeling data broker business would also be restricted, so all that data would no longer be readily available. " ⟩

I continue to believe that the use of data brokers by both the public and the private sector for remote identity proofing entrenches them in people's day to day life.

This is also why I no longer believe that match/no-match data validation services are the way to implement a public sector identity validation capability for use by the private sector.

@black_intellect Overall, I like the changes described in this piece and will submit my comments to #OMB

https://spd15revision.gov/content/spd15revision/en.html

All in for adopting post-quantum cryptography, but requiring an inventory of quantum-vulnerable systems has ZERO value when _everything_ is #CRQC-vulnerable #omb #fedramp

(CRQC: cryptographically relevant quantum computer)

I no longer believe that match/no-match data validation services are the way to implement a public sector #IdentityValidation capability for use by the private sector, so wrote up some thoughts on what changed my mind.

Also tried to capture the variety of conversations that are going on regarding @signalapp particularly after that NYT op-ed, including pointers to multiple interviews with @Mer__edith

Finally, as someone who spent part of my holidays turning on and configuring #DNSSEC, #SPF, #DKIM and #DMARC on my personal domains, wanted to provide some pointers to the fine work and resources provided by @seanthegeek

The Office of Management and Budget should review its strategic plan for improving
management of #Section508. #OMB’s current strategic plan was released in 2013 and
should be reviewed using current information and compliance data.

Won't someone monetize the whole 'we have copies of your data' opportunity? Jeez, and to think this is just a LOST REVENUE OPPORTUNITY a civil service/servants DIDN'T monetize.

Think of the hosting costs reductions AND the bottom line COST REDUCTION that goes towards MORE datum collection efforts, @nsa. 👀👀

Think, #ZeroTrust backups with a double blind deduped backup system™ with the #FiveEyes going all helpful / private sector no questions asked 'Data Backup Solution'!!!!

You know, nationalize the subsidized anyways by their American tax Dollars / British pounds / Canadian Loons / Japanese Yen / Australian Pound's constituents money's via a private sector 'helpful, you are not _that_ important, type mentality, but more with a 'ahhhmmm, ahhh, sorry luv, somehow we have copies of the datam for some reason' type of... privatizing the no questions asked helpfulness as a way to help ALL the tax payers IN #FiveEyes areas. No. Questions. Asked. Data. Backup. 🤫

Now this could take a long as you want to on a special fibre optic network that conveniently has a 'web portal's into ordering said data to be shipped in a cash positive 'Big Brother / Big Sister Cares' type outreach! 💝🎁

Eyes. On. The. Prize. 🎁💝 #Data 🎁💝 #OMB

A Post Scriptum. The one superpower we all have and that I have learned the hard way. Patience. When @evan decided years ago to publish a simple protocol called #OMB #OpenMicroblogging that ultimately lead to #ActivityPub and what we have now - patience is the defining factor. The oracles that will come our way will take time :)
