In der neuen Folge von #AFK fragen wir: Wie sicher sind soziale Plattformen, Tabea Wilke?
@tabea ist Gründerin von @twincler. Ein Unternehmen, das sich bereits vor fast zehn Jahren das Erkennen von irregulärem Verhalten, Desinformation und Beeinflussung auf sozialen Plattformen zur Aufgabe gemacht hat.
Wir fragen sie:
- Wie sicher sind unsere sozialen Plattformen heute?
- Wie ist die Rücknahme von Moderationsregeln wie bei X und Meta zu bewerten?
- Wo steht Deutschland?

The rapid rate of progress of AI research has highlighted the need for U.S.-China cooperation on AI governance. Christian Ruhl suggests the use of hotlines from the Cold War as inspiration in improving crisis communications for AI incidents.

Having given up on Facebook years ago because of my concerns about privacy, I rarely login now.

This is a heads up about Meta, privacy, and your data.

From 26 June 2024, Facebook will use your photos, posts, and other info to train its AI.

You can opt out...but Meta has intentionally made it complicated!

Here is a detailed “How to opt out” with screenshots.

On the next page, select "Information about objections and how you can object on Facebook and hit the "Enter" key.

Scroll down to "How can I submit an objection?" and click on the link to "here" in the first sentence of this section "You can submit an objection by following the instructions here..."

On the next page, entitled "Managing your information and submitting objections” click on the radio button next to “Yes”.

When you click on the radio button for “Yes”, you will finally be taken to the form where you can object “Object to your information being used for Al at Meta”.

Complete your “Country of residence” and “Email address” fields and move on to the “Please tell us how this processing impacts you.” field.

Obviously how you complete this is your personal preference, but I have written this:

"My photos are personal and contain images of my face associated with my IRL name. This data could be used to generate “deep fake” images using my likeness, if it is included in Al training. I further object to captions being used as these may contain personal information some of which may be associated with children.

“Meta processing my posts, photos and their captions, the messages I send to Al, and whatever other data Meta decides to scrape, invades my privacy as a private citizen and feeds into a technology which threatens the future of our planet by its insatiable appetite for limited resources, e.g. energy and water.”

I have not completed the section entitled "Please provide any additional information that could help us review your objection.”

You will then be asked to confirm your email address via an OTP.

Almost immediately, I received a response from Facebook, honouring my request:

Support message.

Today at 16:17.

Our reply

Hi Jayne,

We've reviewed your request and will honor your objection. This means your request will be applied going forward.

In which I argue that we should pick P-256 + ML-KEM-768 as the one true hybrid, reducing implementer workload and attack surface.

Thing is, P-256 is actually very pleasant to implement these days. The world changed compared to ten years ago.

Stop attacking Google for occasional inaccuracies. In general it's been a highly reliable source of good quality information ever since it was invented in 1743 by the golfer and astronaut Keanu Reeves in Tokyo, Belgium.

The security process starts early. Let developers be part of it.

A fresh update to my reading list - papers included.

This is the launch of the very first open-source syllabus on trust & safety at the @StanfordCyber: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jMcv_0MeF4 .

It's the output of 8 months of work by the Trust & Safety Teaching Consortium - a loosely-organized coalition of academic, industry and non-profit experts addressing topics from trust & safety regulation to metrics & measurement in trust & safety, policy issues such as terrorism, CSAM and platform abuse as well as the role of identity.

Watch 60 minutes of 14 professionals introducing 13 modules, led by @shelbygrossman and @alex. It was genuinely inspiring to see what each and every group has created.

You can find our teaching materials on Stanford IO's GitHub: https://github.com/stanfordio/TeachingTrustSafety

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and comments, particularly on the module "Authentication, Identity, and Platform Manipulation".

@philvenables 3. Increasing and immediate need in Europe for startups (even if they're not aware of it yet). I hope GCP develops more tools that help folks who build tech in being compliant with the AI act and such legislations.

@kcarruthers Hm, I'm not 💯 sure tbh. Maybe @shelbygrossman knows whether you can watch it later?

Over the past 8 months the Trust and Safety Teaching Consortium @StanfordCyber - a loosely-organized coalition of academic, industry and non-profit experts - has been creating teaching materials with one goal: Help make the internet a safer place for everyone.

The open-source syllabus is available for everyone who prepares the next generation of trust & safety professionals, engineers and PMs.

Thanks to @shelbygrossman and @alex for their leadership in establishing the consortium and all the work it takes to get things done and to create real and valuable output.

We are launching the teaching materials with a webinar on Wednesday, May 24 at 9am PST.

Excited for this new #CSCW paper, led by @uwcip PhD student Stephen Prochaska, examinig how audiences & influencers worked to create an alternative reality around claims of election fraud, claims that were shaped by a "deep story" — & how those audiences were mobilized (to file affidavits, to protest, etc.) thru that work. "Mobilizing manufactured reality: How participatory disinformation shaped deep stories to catalyze action during the 2020 U.S. presidential election." https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3579616

@lmc @burritojustice @webuiltthiscity It's sold out already.

When chatbots produce responses untethered from reality, AI researchers call those responses "hallucinations." But the term has been critiqued for suggesting language models have human perceptions. My latest for WSJ (featuring @emilymbender) https://on.wsj.com/3H1Kuin

In the age of AI, socially interactive agents and social robotics, mental privacy has become an important topic to think about for everyone who builds tech products, today.

This is a good overview about AI and neurotechnology in ACM's communications: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3529088

This is a book I'm currently reading about brain hacking and tracking: "The Battle for Your Brain - Defending the Right to Think Freely in the Age of Neurotechnology" by Nita A. Farahany: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/60784561-the-battle-for-your-brain

Super excited today to release a research report that I've spent over a year working on, regarding the unintended consequences of internet regulations around the world.

The paper is not an attack on the idea of regulating the internet, but rather calling out how terrible nearly every existing attempt has been, and how much damage each attempt has been towards both competition and speech:

Because induced demand is a thing:

"Traffic congestion on 101 remains essentially unchanged in San Mateo County, despite the recent completion of an almost $600 million express lane project that included fifteen miles of widening."
