Sage reminder from Samantha Edwards in the #Globe today: 'Every time we check IG, buy something online, or Google opening hours, we make a Faustian bargain with tech companies: we get free apps & they get to collect & sell our personal data no matter the consequences,' e.g. #CambridgeAnalytica #RightTobeForgotten

People, please, if you're going to send me a right to be forgotten request, please check if we're actually remembering you or displaying your account publicly.

I'll spit out a blog post on this quick as I can't fit it here and reply to this toot with it.

Last night in my stupor I revisted the idea that the owners of myspace live with themselves having lost some petabytes of consumer data from the genesis of web 2.0 and my god, that's praxis.

Reading #loops privacy policy got me thinking about #RightToBeForgotten / #GDPR info update provision and #fediverse

Can federated software ever confirm to those laws? Best a server can do is remove/update local representation and send out a Delete/Update(Person) activity. But once a profile has been federated it is out of control. It's hard to even track where it federated to.

Is there any writing/analysis on this? How do folks running #ActivityPub services deal with delete/update requests?

I'm trying to remember a website where you can see guides on how to delete your personal information from different services online.
I'm sure it has been shared here many times before. Anybody know what I could mean?

PS: I was thinking about https://justdeleteme.xyz, but apparently remembered it a bit wrong.
https://justgetmydata.com and https://justwhatsthedata.github.io are also interesting.

@thomasfuchs sadly, they are correct, even tho in the most on the nose & assholeist way possible...

I'm pretty shure they have to allow people to still delete all their content and accounts anyway, and I sincerely hope @noybeu will help affectrd users to enforce their "#RightToBeForgotten"...

RT by @eurireland: The right to be forgotten helps cancer survivors access financial services as they return to normal life.

An EU code of conduct for the financial sector on #RightToBeForgotten could make a real difference for cancer survivors.

A footnote prompted by my brilliant colleague Hannah Carnegy-Arbuthnott's excellent paper on the so-called 'right to be forgotten'.

#AI #ML #MU #MachineUnlearning #TrustworthyAI #RightToBeForgotten: "Machine Unlearning (MU) is often analyzed in terms of how it can facilitate the “right to be forgotten.” However, in this Perspective, we show that MU can support the OECD’s five principles for trustworthy AI, which are influencing AI development and regulation worldwide. We also argue that the implementation of MU is not without ethical risks. To address these concerns and amplify the positive impact of MU, we offer policy recommendations across six categories to encourage the research and uptake of this potentially highly influential new technology."

PSA: Right, I decided that chances are nothing I post will be of interest to anyone, if it ever is, after a year. The world moves on, so I turned on the auto-delete.

Oncological right to be forgotten remains an unresolved issue in the EU https://www.euractiv.com/section/health-consumers/news/oncological-right-to-be-forgotten-remains-an-unresolved-issue-in-the-eu/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #beatingcancerplan #cancer #righttobeforgotten

I just reached out to Finland's Office of the Data Protection Ombudsman asking for clarification / information on the legality of Reddit's restoration of user data despite that no longer being under the consent of the user or their right to be forgotten. If it wasn't on their radar before, it is now.

Thanks to all of you posting on Mastodon about it (also referenced Hacker News).

Hoping to hear back.

Sorry, #RickSantorum , there is no #RightToBeForgotten.

Here’s a souvenir of his ‘date’ with convicted #Russian spy #MariaButina https://vm.tiktok.com/ZTRoFuY5y/

#RightToBeForgotten might conflict with #AI:

AI cannot reliably #unlearn: Possible side effects; residual information might still exist.
A complete retraining for a #GPT3-like model presumably costs several million US$ in electricity alone.
"Late" additional training *might* impact #AIsafety:

Anyone know of a #RTBF claim against an #LLM, e.g. #OpenAI?
