Digital autonomy is unavoidable, but demands more than a quick fix - Delta
Digital autonomy is not a luxury, it is essential. This was the message communicated this summer by researchers from the Rathenau Institute to Dutch knowledge institutions in a report about digital dependence on foreign technology companies. Delta asked ICT director Erik Scherff about the university’s position on this. His reply: “The current geopolitics forces us to negotiate.”

Bingo: "awareness is growing that digital autonomy is no longer a luxury but a prerequisite for a well-functioning democracy." https://ginaplat.com/posts/20251031-digital-sovereignty-and-gov/ Thanks for this, @…

Digital Sovereignty Control Framework for Military AI-based Cyber Security
In today's evolving threat landscape, ensuring digital sovereignty has become mandatory for military organizations, especially given their increased development and investment in AI-driven cyber security solutions. To this end, a multi-angled framework is proposed in this article in order to define and assess digital sovereign control of data and AI-based models for military cyber security. This framework focuses on aspects such as context, autonomy, stakeholder involvement, and mitigation of r…

Consumer Autonomy or Illusion? Rethinking Consumer Agency in the Age of Algorithms
Consumer agency in the digital age is increasingly constrained by systemic barriers and algorithmic manipulation, raising concerns about the authenticity of consumption choices. Nowadays, financial decisions are shaped by external pressures like obligatory consumption, algorithmic persuasion, and unstable work schedules that erode financial autonomy. Obligatory consumption (like hidden fees) is intensified by digital ecosystems. Algorithmic tactics like personalized recommendations lead to impu…

MCTR: Midpoint Corrected Triangulation for Autonomous Racing via Digital Twin Simulation in CARLA
In autonomous racing, reactive controllers eliminate the computational burden of the full See-Think-Act autonomy stack by directly mapping sensor inputs to control actions. This bypasses the need for explicit localization and trajectory planning. A widely adopted baseline in this category is the Follow-The-Gap method, which performs trajectory planning using LiDAR data. Building on FTG, the Delaunay Triangulation-based Racing algorithm introduces further enhancements. However, DTR's use of circ…

I would have thought that someone like Epstein didn't set up a Yahoo Mail account to coordinate illegal activities, but would have paid someone to set up his own email server.
That's a stark reminder to all the people saying "just setup your own Mastodon server" or similar things about personal digital autonomy.

Regulating Online Algorithmic Pricing: A Comparative Study of Privacy and Data Protection Laws in the EU and US
The emergence of big data, AI and machine learning has allowed sellers and online platforms to tailor pricing for customers in real-time. While online algorithmic pricing can increase efficiency, market welfare, and optimize pricing strategies for sellers and companies, it poses a threat to the fundamental values of privacy, digital autonomy, and non-discrimination, raising legal and ethical concerns. On both sides of the Atlantic, legislators have endeavoured to regulate online algorithmic pri…

Enhancing Systematic Interoperability: Convergences and Mismatches between Web 3.0 and the EU Data Act

Enhancing Systematic Interoperability: Convergences and Mismatches between Web 3.0 and the EU Data Act
Interoperability is increasingly recognised as a foundational principle for fostering innovation, competition, and user autonomy in the evolving digital ecosystem. Existing research on interoperability predominantly focuses either on technological interoperability itself or on the legal regulations concerning interoperability, with insufficient exploration of their interdisciplinary intersection. This paper compares the technological interoperability in Web 3.0 with the theoretical framework of…
