Really interesting paper, and thanks for the followon points. The over-optimism is indeed a really important takeaway, and agreed that it's not tool-dependent.

Agreed. Although based on the downvotes HN doesn't see it that way, who could have predicted?

Yes, it's very typical. There are almost never any consequences for actions like this.

While it has some good features (data minimization) it's also got some major weaknesses -- for example state attorneys general say they wouldn't be able to enforce it, it preempts …

A new draft was released last week -- the committee markup's on Thursday. https://iapp.org/news/a/new-draft-apra-released-ahead-of-27-... has a summary. https://punchbowl.news/wp-c…

Yep. When I get upgraded to an SUV I exchange it for something along the lines of the car I had originally reserved. I've asked them to put something in my file saying "don't upgra…

Defending RIghts and Dissent has an form to contact Congress on FISA Section 702 renewal https://secure.rightsanddissent.org/a/protect-liberty-act It asks legislators to vote NO on…

Yeah, that's one of the big ways that it's stronger than California's law (where the private right of action is limited to data breaches). [Another way is that it's opt-in, with an…

It's very good in that it's significant progress over other US-based laws. Then again if you compare it to the much stronger privacy protections in the EU, there's still a looooong…

It's a very good point, I haven't seen a lot of discussion of the role of Experian et al in KOSA. In the US, it seems like it's mostly being driven by "child-safety" orgs, some of …

The new version that just dropped today is even worse. Evan Greer has a good Twitter thread: https://twitter.com/evan_greer/status/1684303837874593794 And, there's a committee vote…

Of course Meta hasn't been prevented from adopting an open standard. The section on "The next step in embrace-and-extend, coming soon to a standards working group near you" goes in…

As the article says, "So Meta and their supporters aren't going to give up on their plans to embrace and extend the fediverse just because of the pushback." The section on "The nex…

Yeah when there are multiple causes it's hard to know how much each contributed. AcitivityPub's also meant to be extended, there are FEPs, and it's likely that the working group wi…

I wasn't objecting to your point so much as you calling their summary a fair point. They stopped reading the article before they got to the example of non-public information in it,…

Agreed that these other issues were a problem for XMPP. Christina Warren made this exact point on Mastodon a few hours ago -- in response to a post from Evan Prodromou that talked …

The article explicitly says that talking only about public posts ignores other privacy risks, and has an example related to a followers-only post. Knowing that, do you really think…

Blocking Threads is necessary but not sufficient. I should probably be clearer about that in the article.

Thanks for the explanation, that all makes sense. I don't care about the votes (or karma), it was really about whether it would impact it's ranking and visibility, clearly it's bee…
