❤️Still so overwhelmed with this ruling. Incredibly proud on the team, especially Robin for taking all this on. As she said "WE DID IT!"
It is so valuable that the law sees that software can discriminate, even without the intention of the dvlprs or targeting protected traits.

We won! 🔥🎉🔥 Het is ons gelukt aan te tonen dat de gezichtsherkenningssoftware die de VU gebruikte tentamens af te nemen Zwarte studenten discrimineert. De VU mag dit nu nog ontkrachten 1/..

FNV members at UvA voted overwhelmingly in favour of the trade union becoming involved in the struggle for the right to demonstrate at UvA, and for the breaking of relations with institutions complicit in human right abuse. Congratulations!

WATCH🚨If you watched this video of @BerkeleyLaw Dean Chemerinsky + wife Catherine Fisk assault a law student, watch this longer clip
Student HAD NOT EVEN MENTIONED PALESTINE. She had done a traditional Islamic greeting for Ramadan. This is incredibly racist! Next level unhinged

The EU Parliament has adopted the EU AI Act with a broad majority. It regulates AI by risk, but it's a mixed bag. Some promising parts, but also some troubling aspects, like the broad law enforcement exceptions which could endanger our privacy and free speech rights.
More great news from the Netherlands:
"The police intelligence services have gone over the line. They unlawfully monitored entire population groups"
What are these population groups you ask? Based on "ethnicity, religion, or profession" 1/

The issue is continuously phrased as that the surveillance is not properly **substantiated**
"These intelligence services look at these types of communities to get a picture, which is not unusual. But the choice of which community you look at is not well substantiated."
