Since Hollywood's foray into TikTok is in the news, let's remember it is one of the most invasive apps on your phone. @KrauseFx showed that you don't actually leave TikTok when launching a website from the app, enabling TikTok to log all of your keystrokes

@vanderbeeken @dataGovernance @datasovereignty it is I that should thank you for considering my issue. In this other response I quoted one of the studies mentioned in your article. https://qoto.org/@mapto/111407685657723169
The scope of my intended anonymisation is not to publicly distribute the recordings and give unlimited time to any potential attacker to try to deanonymise them, but rather, in case at any point we need to refer back to the original data, we can show a particular point of interest as evidence of our data collection for auditing purposes.
@vanderbeeken @dataGovernance @datasovereignty hm, I'm not so sure. Certainly the type of data we collect is not so sensitive to justify including resourceful actors in a possible threat model of ours.
As for transcripts, if they were readily available and not a sufficient proxy for the recording, converting them in audio wouldn't solve the problem

Russia remains one of the largest producers of enriched uranium in the world.
In 2022, US companies alone paid about $1 billion to Rosatom. Uranium is excluded from sanctions against Russia.

Excuse me for reposting:
We are conducting a study where we need to keep audio recordings of participant evaluations. Can anyone suggest how the voices in these recordings could be distorted so they could be anonymised? I thought it is an easy problem, but similar questions on several platforms remain unanswered. #privacy #anonymity @dataGovernance @datasovereignty

Interactive fiction authors!
I am looking for authors/writers/narrative designers to join a short virtual group discussion to chat about aspects of your craft— especially managing scope and combinatorial explosion on larger projects.
(This is for my PhD in interactive narrative.)
If that's you, click the link for more details. Either way, please boost!

@ElenLeFoll to say the obvious: a number of governments require scientists in their country to maintain presence in this data

Actually the worst part is that clearly Netanyahu and Hamas have been serving each other's interest in the past. A nihilist might say they are doing it now again
A scholarly reflection on what is the formal meaning of "genocide" and whether it is applicable in the current context. The simple conclusion is that (we can clearly call them extremist) leaders on both sides have declared genocidal intent, but only the Israeli government has the resources to put this intent to practice, and is in fact doing exactly that, regardless of tactical polemics.

For data brokers dealing with our personal information, our data can either be useful for their profit-making or truly anonymous, but not both. It is critical that user privacy is not sacrificed in favor of filling the pockets of corporations. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/11/debunking-myth-anonymous-data

very good paper ("the first extensive study of empirical license use") on the current state of dataset licenses and sources in machine learning https://www.dataprovenance.org/paper.pdf describes "a crisis in license laundering and informed usage of popular datasets, with systemic problems in sparse, ambiguous, or incorrect license documentation" including license annotations on dataset sharing platforms that are "often labeled as more permissive than the author’s intended license"

A team of researchers wants artists to be able to fight back against their work being used to train new AI models.
Read all about their efforts:

@bobwyman the news media cited in the article, has preferred to hide itself behind a paywall. For better or worse, their current priorities are clearly different from spreading the word
