Women are anonymously spilling tea about men in their cities on viral app
When Cid Walker opens the Tea app, she’s greeted by a barrage of posts about men and their apparent "red" and "green" "flags."“He’s a cheater,” Walker said, reading some of the comments on one post out loud."What clubs does he go to?" another person asked on a different post.

Conformidade com os Requisitos Legais de Privacidade de Dados: Um Estudo sobre Técnicas de Anonimização
The protection of personal data has become a central topic in software development, especially with the implementation of the General Data Protection Law (LGPD) in Brazil and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union. With the enforcement of these laws, certain software quality criteria have become mandatory, such as data anonymization, which is one of the main aspects addressed by these regulations. The aim of this article is to analyze data anonymization techniques a…

Einmal angenommen, das SocialMedia-Verbot unter 16 kommt.
Einmal angenommen, die Politik meint das ernst.
Einmal angenommen, das funktioniert.
Einmal angenommen, das wird ernsthaft durchgesetzt.
Dann wird es Verstöße geben.
Und wenn obige Annahmen zutreffen, dann werden Verstöße aufgedeckt werden.
Dann muss das sanktioniert werden.
Wie?
Gegen die Anbieter?
Gegen die, die dagegen verstoßen?
Bis 14 keine strafmündigkeit in Deutschland.

Computing Tree Structures in Anonymous Graphs via Mobile Agents
Minimum Spanning Tree (MST) and Breadth-First Search (BFS) tree constructions are classical problems in distributed computing, traditionally studied in the message-passing model, where static nodes communicate via messages. This paper investigates MST and BFS tree construction in an agent-based network, where mobile agents explore a graph and compute. Each node hosts one agent, and communication occurs when agents meet at a node. We consider $n$ agents initially dispersed (one per node) in an a…

This year is the 35th anniversary of Queers Read This. A key piece of LGBT activism, arguing for pride and direct action. It had a huge influence on my life.

$(\ell,δ)$-Diversity: Linkage-Robustness via a Composition Theorem
In this paper, we consider the problem of degradation of anonymity upon linkages of anonymized datasets. We work in the setting where an adversary links together $t\geq 2$ anonymized datasets in which a user of interest participates, based on the user's known quasi-identifiers, which motivates the use of $\ell$-diversity as the notion of dataset anonymity. We first argue that in the worst case, such linkage attacks can reveal the exact sensitive attribute of the user, even when each dataset res…
