How do you feel about AI creating a digital version of you? It should not be legal for tech companies to be able to predict our behaviour and target us in ways we can’t control. My 10 minute rule Bill will establish the principle that there is only one you, for everyone.

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/germany…

Your periodic reminder that most of the core of the Internet's critical infrastructure is noncommercial and is operated by volunteers. We were lucky to have the invaluable assistance of infrastructure superstar @KaraDarren today, in upgrading the Washington DC PCH / D-root / E-root / Quad9 infrastructure. Thanks much, Darren!
