An Algorithmic Pipeline for GDPR-Compliant Healthcare Data Anonymisation: Moving Toward Standardisation
High-quality real-world data (RWD) is essential for healthcare but must be transformed to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). GDPRs broad definitions of quasi-identifiers (QIDs) and sensitive attributes (SAs) complicate implementation. We aim to standardise RWD anonymisation for GDPR compliance while preserving data utility by introducing an algorithmic method to identify QIDs and SAs and evaluate utility in anonymised datasets. We conducted a systematic literature review…

A Transformer-Based Neural Network for Optimal Deterministic-Allocation and Anonymous Joint Auction Design
With the advancement of machine learning, an increasing number of studies are employing automated mechanism design (AMD) methods for optimal auction design. However, all previous AMD architectures designed to generate optimal mechanisms that satisfy near dominant strategy incentive compatibility (DSIC) fail to achieve deterministic allocation, and some also lack anonymity, thereby impacting the efficiency and fairness of advertising allocation. This has resulted in a notable discrepancy between…

Trump Officials Want to Prosecute Over the ICEBlock App. Lawyers Say That’s Unconstitutional
The platform, which allows users to anonymously share the locations of ICE agents, is currently the third most downloaded iPhone app.

#ICEBlock, an iPhone app that allows users to anonymously report sightings of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents,
⭐️has rocketed to one of the coveted top spots in Apple’s U.S. App Store rankings.
The upshot: Criticism from U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi helped get it there.
Most of ICEBlock’s users
— about 20,000

ICEBlock, an app for anonymously reporting ICE sightings, goes viral overnight after Bondi criticism | TechCrunch
The citizen app for anonymously reporting ICE agents and raids went viral after criticism from the U.S. Attorney General.

In the spring and summer of 2008, when Donald Trump was still a registered Democrat,
an anonymous blogger known as Mencius Moldbug posted a serial manifesto under the heading
“An Open Letter to Open-Minded Progressives.”
Written with the sneering disaffection of an ex-believer,
the hundred-and-twenty-thousand-word letter argued that egalitarianism,
far from improving the world,
was actually responsible for most of its ills.
That his bien-pensant re…

American contractors guarding aid distribution sites in Gaza are using live ammunition and stun grenades
-- as hungry Palestinians scramble for food, according to accounts and videos obtained by The Associated Press.
Two U.S. contractors, speaking to the AP on condition of anonymity because they were revealing their employers’ internal operations,
said they were coming forward because they were disturbed by what they considered dangerous and irresponsible practices.

Attached: 1 image 🔥🔥🔥 TRIGGER WARNING 🔥🔥🔥 Truly SHOCKING video reporting here by #AP, about US contractors in Gaza firing live ammo at Palestinians as they come for food aid. IMHO, this is one of those times when it's important to bear witness, unless it would be too distressing to watch the footage. Will be shocked if this does not explode in the news. https://youtube.com/watch?v=63XTo2EyLZA&si=w9W1uKIMznffVone .#Israel #Hezbollah #Hamas #Houthi #Gaza #Palestine #Lebanon …
