Die Verarbeitung medizinischer Forschungsdaten ohne datenschutzrechtliche Einwilligung: Der Korridor zwischen Anonymisierung und der Forschungsausnahme in Österreich
Modern, data-driven medical research requires the processing of sensitive health data on a large scale. However, this data is subject to special protection under the GDPR, which is why processing regularly raises data protection concerns in practice. These concerns are particularly prevalent when sensitive personal data is processed without informed consent. This article analyses options for data processing in the field of medical research without consent and describes the legal framework for a…

As President Macron walked down the US street onlookers smiled and even took selfies with him; many of them happy to experience seeing a real president in the United States after months of the demonic autocratic clown show emanating out of the White House.

Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that U.S. Space Command will be located in Alabama,
reversing a Biden-era decision to keep it at its temporary headquarters in Colorado.
The long-expected decision from Trump caps a four-year tug of war between two states and opposing administrations about where to locate U.S. Space Command,
an intense fight because the headquarters would be a significant boon to the local economy.
Alabama and Colorado have long battled to claim Space…

President Donald Trump’s administration will announce U.S. Space Command will be located in Alabama, reversing a Biden-era decision to keep it at its temporary headquarters in Colorado. That's according to two people familiar with the announcement. The people say Trump is expected to speak Tuesday afternoon and will give the new location. The people spoke on the condition of anonymity to confirm the plans ahead of the official announcement. A Pentagon website set up to livestream the remarks …

El Cheeto pees on everything, including our goverment and ourselves.
One wonders where he is taking his cut our of this probable scam:

From the article:
The website deals would only be accessible for patients not using their health insurance, according to one of the government officials briefing reporters anonymously. And even then, the discounted medicines might not be afford…

LLUAD: Low-Latency User-Anonymized DNS
The Domain Name System (DNS) is involved in practically all web activity, translating easy-to-remember domain names into Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. Due to its central role on the Internet, DNS exposes user web activity in detail. The privacy challenge is honest-but-curious DNS servers/resolvers providing the translation/lookup service. In particular, with the majority of DNS queries handled by public DNS resolvers, the organizations running them can track, collect, and analyze massive us…

Single-Round Deterministic Quantum Anonymous Veto Using Bell States
Quantum Anonymous Veto (QAV) protocols enable secure and anonymous decision-making by allowing participants to detect the presence of a veto without revealing individual choices. While existing QAV schemes offer strong theoretical guarantees, they face significant limitations in practical implementation due to resource requirements, scalability issues, and the need for multipartite entanglement. In this work, we propose a novel deterministic QAV protocol that leverages only bipartite entangleme…

From Patient Burdens to User Agency: Designing for Real-Time Protection Support in Online Health Consultations
Online medical consultation platforms, while convenient, are undermined by significant privacy risks that erode user trust. We first conducted in-depth semi-structured interviews with 12 users to understand their perceptions of security and privacy landscapes on online medical consultation platforms, as well as their practices, challenges and expectation. Our analysis reveals a critical disconnect between users' desires for anonymity and control, and platform realities that offload the responsi…

Two US contractors describe chaos and gunfire as Palestinians seek food in Gaza
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. The contractor who provided t…

Why Data Anonymization Has Not Taken Off
Companies are looking to data anonymization research $\unicode{x2013}$ including differential private and synthetic data methods $\unicode{x2013}$ for simple and straightforward compliance solutions. But data anonymization has not taken off in practice because it is anything but simple to implement. For one, it requires making complex choices which are case dependent, such as the domain of the dataset to anonymize; the units to protect; the scope where the data protection should extend to; and …
