Identity is a human right, digital systems should NOT have the power to revoke your identity.
Identity is a human right, digital systems should NOT have the power to revoke your identity.
It is of critical importance to design digital identity systems that ensure the privacy of citizens as well as protecting them from issuer corruption. Unfortunately, what Europe’s and USA’s public sectors are currently developing does not offer such basic protections. We aim to solve this issue and propose a method for untraceable selective disclosure and privacy preserving revocation of digital credentials, using the unique homomorphic characteristics of second order Elliptic Curves and Boneh-Lynn-Shacham (BLS) signatures. Our approach ensures that users can selectively reveal only the necessary credentials, while protecting their privacy across multiple presentations. We also aim to protect users from issuer corruption, by making it possible to apply a threshold for revocation to require collective agreement among multiple revocation issuers.

This is a really good review about the actual tradeoffs involved.
It’s like crazy ex syndrome. They block you, but if you block them back in reciprocating fashion now your the bad person.
No, I’m pretty f****** loathe.
Governments dictating technical standards, is fine if it’s a regulatory body that’s dynamic, but bad if the technical standard is encodified in the law itself.
In the United States the American national standards association, as well as other bodies, set standards, and the government can dictate that you need to use a standard for mainstream device. That’s fine
But a lot saying you must use USB-C, that’s crazy. USB-C has a limited lifespan. Plus they’ll be innovation in the future.
Well it’s a good thing at the moment, I am loath for governments to dictate technical specifications. I’d much rather they say electronics devices must adhere to a modern open standard. And if you are introducing your new standard, it has to be patented royalty free for other people to use
You could ask the admins to delete your content.
If it’s world war II, and you’re thinking about who to make your overall theater commander, You’re going to put a lot of factors into that, including is this person available.
It wouldn’t make sense to make general Patton your absolute commander, and then have him be unavailable for 3 months.
Double so if they’ve already refused orders
Yeah. When I heard what they were doing with the library stuff. I thought that was such a weird hill to die on.
Like how could any lawyer tell them they had a chance in hell of breaking copyright law at scale, because of the pandemic?
And they didn’t create a new organization to do this very legally risky thing, they did it under their normal organization not some LLC. Crazy
That’s a good point, and that’s what a long-term CEO could fight for. But this executive before they became CEO was given a test, could they do this difficult executive thing, and they didn’t. If you’re the board of directors, is this the person you promote to CEO? They’re already giving you friction before they become the CEO
I’m not apologizing. I think this person would make a terrible CEO. For a variety of reasons. The biggest is the fact that they’re going around on a campaign besmirching the company they tried to become the CEO of. That’s an Elon musk move
That’s a really good point. That’s a good test of an executive, if they can’t do what the board needs… They aren’t a good fit either
I hate to say it, but when we’re talking about a leadership position, that hasn’t been filled yet, looking at somebody’s ability to be consistent leader is a factor.
If memory serves this executive was out for treatment, when the previous CEO stepped down in the replacement was chosen.
They simply were not available. It’s hard to be a part-time CEO
It would be nice if this were true, but typically if the population doesn’t have money to spend to buy things, advertising to them doesn’t return much money either

100%. Conflict of interest is a very real problem
To me, this only makes sense if it’s integrated advertising in the browser. Trying to get third party websites to use their advertising network probably will be a very difficult sale.
It could be a way of greenwashing, or whatever the expression is for privacy washing, businesses like meta, Google, by letting them license a “privacy friendly” advertisement platform.
As far as I’m aware, there’s only two major online advertising platforms, meta and Google. So breaking in is a third platform would be difficult, unless they could integrate into apps directly through Mozilla’s app footprint
driving advertising performance requires privacy-enhancing approaches to data driven marketing. Anonym’s privacy preserving solutions allow you to take full advantage of your data assets.
Fundamentally, privacy and data-driven marketing are diametrically opposed
Here’s how it works:
Okay. It’s still boils down to give us all the data and trust us. But hopefully they’re more trustworthy than other people, and not corrupted by influence and money like other humans are?
By combining Mozilla’s scale and trusted reputation with Anonym’s cutting-edge technology, we can enhance user privacy and advertising effectiveness, leveling the playing field for all stakeholders.
I was surprised they said they’re so explicitly, but yeah they’re trying to monetize the Mozilla reputation for things that I’m not sure stick to their core philosophy
Respect for gamers nexus. When they get annoyed, they stay proper annoyed!
Hate to tell you, this is now the norm. Right now, today, thousands of corporate travelers!
Company creates a travel laptop, perhaps even just a completely empty kiosk laptop. Corporate traveler downloads critical data to the laptop in an enclave (like a presentation). They have a two-factor token with them. If they need to get back to the corporate network for whatever reason, they use remote desktop software and no data is stored on the local device. They’re given policies telling them that if the computer is out of their possession, or view at any time, that the device is not to be used whatsoever afterwards. Contact security and let them deal with it.
When the traveler comes back to the mothership, laptop is checked into IT, it’s completely wiped.
Does remote desktop software suck? Yeah. It’s better than the alternative though
