We have to fight with everything we have against the awful "Chat Control" proposal. It is very easy to explain why it is a very bad idea but because the subject is child abuse, everybody loses rational thinking capabilities it seems. https://www.patrick-breyer.de/en/posts/chat-contr…

EU Digital Regulation and Guatemala: AI, 5G, and Cybersecurity
The paper examines how EU rules in AI, 5G, and cybersecurity operate as transnational governance and shape policy in Guatemala. It outlines the AI Act's risk approach, the 5G Action Plan and Security Toolbox, and the cybersecurity regime built on ENISA, NIS2, the Cybersecurity Act, and the Cyber Resilience Act. It traces extraterritorial channels such as the Brussels effect, private standards, supply chain clauses, and data transfer controls. Guatemala specific impacts include SME compliance co…

Tell Congress: Don't Outlaw Encrypted Applications
It shouldn't be against the law to provide an encrypted app. But if the STOP CSAM Act passes, it would make it a crime to offer encryption, because it could "facilitate" the sharing of illegal child abuse material (CSAM)—even if there's no evidence that a platform or service intended to do so. The law would undermine digital security for all internet users, impacting private messaging and email app providers, social media platforms, cloud storage providers, and many other internet intermediar…

Listen to 8 hours of sound dedicated to Palestine - and act - CDM Create Digital Music
Music and sound are not action -- at least, not normally. But sound can recenter you, rewire your brain, and let you catch your breath before that action. So I find myself returning to this eight-hour broadcast by London's Sister Midnight FM, which includes Palestinian artists who have long been featured on CDM, including Muqata'a, bint mbareh, and Dakn.

Knowledge Graph Completion for Action Prediction on Situational Graphs -- A Case Study on Household Tasks
Knowledge Graphs are used for various purposes, including business applications, biomedical analyses, or digital twins in industry 4.0. In this paper, we investigate knowledge graphs describing household actions, which are beneficial for controlling household robots and analyzing video footage. In the latter case, the information extracted from videos is notoriously incomplete, and completing the knowledge graph for enhancing the situational picture is essential. In this paper, we show that, wh…

Multimodal Late Fusion Model for Problem-Solving Strategy Classification in a Machine Learning Game
Machine learning models are widely used to support stealth assessment in digital learning environments. Existing approaches typically rely on abstracted gameplay log data, which may overlook subtle behavioral cues linked to learners' cognitive strategies. This paper proposes a multimodal late fusion model that integrates screencast-based visual data and structured in-game action sequences to classify students' problem-solving strategies. In a pilot study with secondary school students (N=149) p…
