Starmer to count rural broadband as ‘defence spending’
PM could meet Nato’s target of investing 5pc of GDP without committing more public money

Chatcontrol 2025 edition in Brief - Bert Hubert's writings
In short, led by Denmark, many EU member states are arguing for forcing WhatsApp/Signal/etc to inspect all our photos and links, using AI. If the AI is in any “doubt” if this might be child pornography, your photo, location, phone number & other details get reported to Europol and a local police force.

Understanding the Issue Types in Open Source Blockchain-based Software Projects with the Transformer-based BERTopic
Blockchain-based software systems are increasingly deployed across diverse domains, yet a systematic understanding of their development challenges remains limited. This paper presents a large-scale empirical study of 497,742 issues mined from 1,209 open-source blockchain projects hosted on GitHub. Employing BERTopic, a transformer-based topic modeling technique, we identify 49 distinct issue topics and organize them hierarchically into 11 major subcategories. Our analysis reveals that both gene…

Freue mich, dass ich für die nächste #Breitband-Sendung was dazu sagen kann, dass der Bundestags-#Digitalausschuss auch weiterhin nicht öffentlich tagt, sozusagen aus Perspektive der Opposition, obwohl ich da gar nicht mehr und auch absehbar nicht mehr Referentin bin.

Die deutsche Regierung scheint darüber nachzudenken, das amerikanische WhatsApp zu zwingen, all unsere Fotos mit KI zu durchsuchen. Dann werden wir bei Europol und der Polizei gemeldet, wenn die KI auch nur ansatzweise "denkt", dass es Kinderpornografie sein könnte:

Chatcontrol 2025 - Bert Hubert's writings
Kurz zusammengefasst: Unter der Führung Dänemarks fordern viele EU-Mitgliedsstaaten, WhatsApp, Signal und co dazu zu zwingen, dass alle darüber versendeten Fotos und Links mit KI durchsucht werden. Wenn die KI auch nur den geringsten Verdacht hat, dass es sich um Kinderpornografie handeln könnte, werden dein Bild, dein Standort, deine Telefonnummer und weitere Details automatisch an Europol und eine örtliche Polizeibehörde gemeldet.
