SimpleX Chat
Abbiamo già scritto alcuni articoli sulle app di messaggistica istantanea che rispettano la privacy1.
In questo articolo presentiamo SimpleX Chat (già alla versione 5.0, ma seguiamo il progetto da tempo), che ha la particolarità - come si può leggere sul sito ufficiale - di essere il primo messenger senza ID utente. Va segnalato che anche Session non utilizza identificatori.
SimpleX Chat, fondato da Evgeny Poberezkin, è un progetto open-source sotto licenza AGPL-3.0, avviato nel 2020. Essendo un progetto open-source, è possibile accedere al suo repository GitHub per visualizzare e verificare il codice.
Crediamo e sosteniamo l’open-source, considerandolo un valore considerevole.
Pertanto, complimenti agli sviluppatori di Simplex Chat.
Il progetto è ben curato e in continuo sviluppo, tanto che l’attuale SimpleX Chat v5.0 supporta video e file fino a 1GB.

STOCKHOLM, April 27 (Reuters) - Companies deploying generative AI tools, such as ChatGPT, will have to disclose any copyrighted material used to develop their systems, according to an early EU agreement that could pave the way for the world's first comprehensive laws governing the technology.
The European Commission began drafting the AI Act nearly two years ago to regulate emerging artificial intelligence technology, which underwent a boom in investment and popularity following the release of OpenAI's AI-powered chatbot ChatGPT.

Sentenza della Corte (Terza Sezione) nella causa C-300/21 | Österreichische Post (Danno immateriale inerente al trattamento di dati personali) - 4 maggio 2023
Per questi motivi, la Corte (Terza Sezione) dichiara:
1) L’articolo 82, paragrafo 1, del regolamento (UE) 2016/679 del Parlamento europeo e del Consiglio, del 27 aprile 2016, relativo alla protezione delle persone fisiche con riguardo al trattamento dei dati personali, nonché alla libera circolazione di tali dati e che abroga la direttiva 95/46/CE (regolamento generale sulla protezione dei dati),
deve essere interpretato nel senso che:
la mera violazione delle disposizioni di tale regolamento non è sufficiente per conferire un diritto al risarcimento.
2) L’articolo 82, paragrafo 1, del regolamento 2016/679
deve essere interpretato nel senso che:
esso osta a una norma o una prassi nazionale che subordina il risarcimento di un danno immateriale, ai sensi di tale disposizione, alla condizione che il danno subito dall’interessato abbia raggiunto un certo grado di gravità.
3) L’articolo 82 del regolamento 2016/679
deve essere interpretato nel senso che:
ai fini della determinazione dell’importo del risarcimento dovuto in base al diritto al risarcimento sancito da tale articolo, i giudici nazionali devono applicare le norme interne di ciascuno Stato membro relative all’entità del risarcimento pecuniario, purché siano rispettati i principi di equivalenza e di effettività del diritto dell’Unione.

Judgment of the Court (Third Chamber) in Case C-300/21 | Österreichische Post (Non-material damage resulting from unlawful processing of data) - 4 May 2023
On those grounds, the Court (Third Chamber) hereby rules:
1. Article 82(1) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation)
must be interpreted as meaning that the mere infringement of the provisions of that regulation is not sufficient to confer a right to compensation.
2. Article 82(1) of Regulation 2016/679
must be interpreted as precluding a national rule or practice which makes compensation for non-material damage, within the meaning of that provision, subject to the condition that the damage suffered by the data subject has reached a certain degree of seriousness.
3. Article 82 of Regulation 2016/679
must be interpreted as meaning that for the purposes of determining the amount of damages payable under the right to compensation enshrined in that article, national courts must apply the domestic rules of each Member State relating to the extent of financial compensation, provided that the principles of equivalence and effectiveness of EU law are complied with.

Sentenza della Corte (Prima Sezione) nella causa C-487/21 | Österreichische Datenschutzbehörde e CRIF - 4 maggio 2023
Per questi motivi, la Corte (Prima Sezione) dichiara:
1) L’articolo 15, paragrafo 3, prima frase, del regolamento (UE) 2016/679 del Parlamento europeo e del Consiglio, del 27 aprile 2016, relativo alla protezione delle persone fisiche con riguardo al trattamento dei dati personali, nonché alla libera circolazione di tali dati e che abroga la direttiva 95/46/CE (regolamento generale sulla protezione dei dati),
deve essere interpretato nel senso che:
il diritto di ottenere dal titolare del trattamento una copia dei dati personali oggetto di trattamento implica che sia consegnata all’interessato una riproduzione fedele e intelligibile dell’insieme di tali dati. Detto diritto presuppone quello di ottenere copia di estratti di documenti o addirittura di documenti interi o, ancora, di estratti di banche dati contenenti, tra l’altro, tali dati, se la fornitura di una siffatta copia è indispensabile per consentire all’interessato di esercitare effettivamente i diritti conferitigli da tale regolamento, fermo restando che occorre tener conto, al riguardo, dei diritti e delle libertà altrui.
2) L’articolo 15, paragrafo 3, terza frase, del regolamento 2016/679

Judgment of the Court (First Chamber) in Case C-487/21 | Österreichische Datenschutzbehörde and CRIF - 4 May 2023
On those grounds, the Court (First Chamber) hereby rules:
1. The first sentence of Article 15(3) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation),
must be interpreted as meaning that the right to obtain from the controller a copy of the personal data undergoing processing means that the data subject must be given a faithful and intelligible reproduction of all those data. That right entails the right to obtain copies of extracts from documents or even entire documents or extracts from databases which contain, inter alia, those data, if the provision of such a copy is essential in order to enable the data subject to exercise effectively the rights conferred on him or her by that regulation, bearing in mind that account must be taken, in that regard, of the rights and freedoms of others.
2. The third sentence of Article 15(3) of Regulation 2016/679
must be interpreted as meaning that the concept of ‘information’ to which it refers relates exclusively to the personal data of which the controller must provide a copy pursuant to the first sentence of that paragraph.

What is Bluesky? Everything to know about the app trying to replace Twitter

Is the grass greener on the other side? We’re not sure, but the sky is most certainly bluer. It’s been over a year since Elon Musk announced his bid to buy Twitter, and those who opposed the sale have tried setting up shop on platforms like Mastodon, Substack Notes, T2… but none of these Twitter alternatives have really captured lightning in a bottle like Bluesky.
Bluesky remains invite-only in its beta, but as more people get on the site, the hype around it is growing — though as we know from apps like Clubhouse, the hype might not last forever. In the meantime, Bluesky now has around 50,000 users, but according to estimates from data.ai, the app has been downloaded more than 375,000 times. So many people are trying to get an invite that they’ve started popping up for sale on eBay (we would advise against making that purchase).

Key Highlights
Nym protects privacy at the network layer by encrypting and relaying your internet traffic through a multi-layered network called a mixnet. In each layer of the mixnet, mix nodes mix your internet traffic with that of other users, making communications private and hiding your metadata (IP address, who you talk to, when and where, and more).
The Nym mixnet is incentivized and decentralized. Users pay a fee in NYM to send their data through the mixnet. By pledging an initial bond of NYM, anyone can run a mix node. Node runners are then rewarded in NYM tokens based on good quality of service, doing the work of mixing packets and providing privacy for the end users. This is called ‘proof of mixing,’ similar to how Bitcoin rewards miners for mining new blocks. The reward mechanism enables the mixnet to scale and decentralize.
Nym can work with any application. From Bitcoin to ZCash, no current “layer 1” blockchain provides “layer 0 privacy” for the peer-to-peer broadcasts used in every transaction. Nym can provide network-level privacy for any blockchain and other generic applications. From Bitcoin to instant messaging, developers can build their applications on top of Nym for network layer and metadata protection of their users.

Key Highlights
Nym protects privacy at the network layer by encrypting and relaying your internet traffic through a multi-layered network called a mixnet. In each layer of the mixnet, mix nodes mix your internet traffic with that of other users, making communications private and hiding your metadata (IP address, who you talk to, when and where, and more).
The Nym mixnet is incentivized and decentralized. Users pay a fee in NYM to send their data through the mixnet. By pledging an initial bond of NYM, anyone can run a mix node. Node runners are then rewarded in NYM tokens based on good quality of service, doing the work of mixing packets and providing privacy for the end users. This is called ‘proof of mixing,’ similar to how Bitcoin rewards miners for mining new blocks. The reward mechanism enables the mixnet to scale and decentralize.
Nym can work with any application. From Bitcoin to ZCash, no current “layer 1” blockchain provides “layer 0 privacy” for the peer-to-peer broadcasts used in every transaction. Nym can provide network-level privacy for any blockchain and other generic applications. From Bitcoin to instant messaging, developers can build their applications on top of Nym for network layer and metadata protection of their users.
