• How can the EU protect children while dismantling the rules to keep them safe?

  Children are especially exposed to data-driven harms, including profiling, behavioural targeting, and manipulative platform design. These practices rely on the intensive use of personal data and algorithmic systems designed to maximise attention and keep people connected for as long as possible. This is why data protection and platform regulation are part of the infrastructure that protects minors.

  The Digital Omnibus leaves this call unheard. Proposed changes to the definition of personal data could allow certain pseudonymised datasets to fall outside the scope of the GDPR. In practice, this would make it easier for companies to reuse large datasets for profiling or training AI systems without applying key protections.

• The Lawful Access Debate Begins: Canadians Should Pay Attention to What the Government Isn’t Saying

  The core concerns have been well documented (my posts on access to subscriber information, mandatory metadata retention, international production orders, and systemic vulnerabilities). Bill C-22’s metadata retention requirements would compel service providers to store data on all their users for up to a year, regardless of whether any user is suspected of anything. That is the architecture of a national surveillance database that would enable law enforcement to reach back in time and reconstruct the digital movements of virtually any Canadian with a connected device. Meanwhile, the bill would also require providers to permanently embed surveillance capabilities into Canadian networks through secret ministerial orders, an approach the international experience has shown doesn’t just threaten privacy, but actively makes communications infrastructure less secure for everyone. Both provisions raise serious constitutional questions, but neither received much attention on the floor of the House.

• You Do Not Hate The IRS Enough

  Documents I obtained show that the IRS already has a powerful set of tools to force compliance, from undercover agents to wiretaps and other forms of electronic surveillance. But now, thanks to AI, the IRS’s ultimate goal is for “minimal human contact,” as one document put it.

  The centerpiece is Palantir software that allows IRS investigators and auditors to conduct "near real-time data analysis" through a custom tool called the “Selection and Analytic Platform,” or SNAP.

• Attribution cartel Q and A

  How is the attribution cartel defined? Who’s in and who’s out?

  The cartel members are the companies that agree that they operate a tracking scheme that will not require consent or be subject to objections or opt-outs. To get a peek of how this would work, a recent version of Firefox shipped with both an attribution tracking preference (on by default) and Global Privacy Control. But turning on GPC did not turn off attribution tracking.

  A non-member is any company where consent, objections, and/or opt-outs apply to all of their personal data practices.

• Is Your Phone Eavesdropping?

  At this moment, we, the people, are using 8.3 billion phones.

  At a voice-quality bitrate (64 Kbps), audio recordings consume about 700 MB per phone per day. Those 8.3 billion phones would generate two trillion terabytes of data a year. If our phones were continuously transmitting audio—or even only when it hears people speaking—that much data would bring the cellular network to its knees and trigger a global storage crisis. “The idea of listening to every conversation around the world, and interpreting them and looking for certain words, and then matching them to the ads, is impossible,” Paparo says. “It’s just not feasible.”

  There’s little evidence that they do anything meaningful to prevent crime. But they do certainly create a surveillance layer, and help establish a culture of surveillance across law enforcement. 404 Media reported last year that ICE has been tapping into these cameras, although they weren’t established for that purpose; local police have been proxy users for immigration enforcement.

  Not only does the platform read license plates and track individual cars, but it tracks associations between vehicles — cars that are often seen together, for example. Which, of course, reveals associations between people.

• The Digital Omnibus reopens the EU data acquis

  Much of the debate around the Digital Omnibus has focused on proposed changes to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), ePrivacy and artificial intelligence rules. However, the proposal also significantly reshapes the EU’s broader data governance framework. This ‘data acquis’ part of the Omnibus merges elements of the Data Governance Act, which establishes a legal framework to facilitate data sharing and reuse across the European Union, the Open Data Directive, which governs the re-use of public sector information, and related instruments into the legislation that ensures fair access to and use of data, the EU Data Act.

  This is not a minor technical update. The proposal turns the Data Act into a central hub for data access, reuse, and governance. In doing so, it rewrites the institutional balance of the EU data framework. The changes affect how public authorities access privately held data, how data intermediaries operate, and how protected public-sector data can be reused.

• EFF to State AGs: Investigate Google's Broken Promise to Users Targeted by the Government

  For nearly a decade, Google has promised billions of users that it will notify them before disclosing their personal data to law enforcement. Many times, the company has done just that. But through a hidden and systematic practice, Google has likely violated that promise numerous times over the years. This was the case for Thomas-Johnson, a Ph.D. candidate who was targeted by ICE after briefly attending a protest, effectively preventing him from contesting an invalid subpoena for his data.
