In light of Meta’s decision to fight the EC on its Pay or Okay model, it’s worth re-surfacing my podcast episode with Mikołaj Barczentewicz from two weeks ago in which we discussed Pay or Okay at length: Podcast: What’s happening with DMA enforcement? mobiledevmemo.com/podcast-whats-…
Reuters on 11 July: Meta "is very unlikely to offer more changes to its pay-or-consent model, meaning it is almost certain to be hit by fresh EU antitrust charges and hefty daily fines, people with direct knowledge of the matter said on Friday."
Today, Meta is making changes to advertising settings on Facebook and Instagram for EU users. This is a response to EU Commission's decision that found their earlier "pay or consent" model not compliant with the EU DMA regulation.
If you release an AI model before 2 August, you have two additional years for that model to comply with the EU AI Act. Will we see a race to release as much as possible by that date? Interesting test to see if AI labs see EU AI regulation as relevant
My colleague @MBarczentewicz performs a big-time mic drop on the DMA. Link below.
Today, @MBarczentewicz offered perspective on the 2nd round of EU DMA workshops. TL;DR: these workshops reveal troubling patterns in the Commission's enforcement approach, particularly regarding privacy and security considerations. 4/4 eutechreg.com/p/eu-dma-works…
The judge in @nytimes v @OpenAI seems almost comically out of touch with reality. Ignoring user expectations regarding "temporary chats" and that the order to store data creates a risk it will be eg hacked. V bad look for NYT that they're condoning this arstechnica.com/tech-policy/20…
