When is it time to start worrying about artificial intelligence interfering in our democracy? Maybe when an AI writes a letter to The New York Times opposing the regulation of its own technology.
That happened last month. And because the letter was responding to an essay we wrote, we’re starting to get worried. And while the technology can be regulated, the real solution lies in recognizing that the problem is human actors—and those we can do something about.

Digital identity: the challenges
The topic of digital identity is broad and has involved intense debate over the past few years with the production of numerous contributions.
In Europe, the “proposal for a REGULATION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL amending Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 as regards the establishment of a framework for a European digital identity” better known as eIDAS 2, was published in June 2021.
This proposed regulation is an evolution of the EU Regulation 910/2014, eIDAS (electronic IDentification, Authentic and trust Services) and stipulates that by 2024 every EU member state will have to make a digital identity wallet (Digital Identity Wallet) available to every citizen who wants it.

Why Twitter’s decision to charge for data access could risk EU fines

Twitter’s decision to revoke access to their free API will severely disrupt public interest projects worldwide. It’s an irresponsible decision that would disadvantage non-profits, journalists, and academia and could also be at odds with EU regulations.
Lena-Maria Böswald is a Programme Officer for Digital Democracy at Democracy Reporting International, a non-profit organisation promoting democracy worldwide.
Two weeks ago, out of the blue, Twitter’s development team announced in a thread that the platform would no longer provide free access to its developer application programming interface (API) (both v2 and v1.1) starting February 9. Instead, a paid basic tier replacing all previous access levels will be made available for 100 $ per month that offers low-level access.

There’s a whole array of others that appear to be free but then require in-app purchases in order to scan QR codes …

The U.S. Department of Defense secured an exposed server on Monday that was spilling internal U.S. military emails to the open internet for the past two weeks.
The exposed server was hosted on Microsoft’s Azure government cloud for Department of Defense customers, which uses servers that are physically separated from other commercial customers and as such can be used to share sensitive but unclassified government data. The exposed server was part of an internal mailbox system storing about three terabytes of internal military emails, many pertaining to U.S. Special Operations Command, or USSOCOM, the U.S. military unit tasked with conducting special military operations.

The Swedish presidency of the EU Council circulated the fifth compromise text on the Data Act, obtained by EURACTIV, introducing the possibility of refusing data-sharing requests if they risk causing severe economic harm.
The Data Act is a flagship legislation to regulate how industrial data is ported, accessed and shared. The European Parliament will formalise its position on the file by mid-March. Sweden, which holds the rotating presidency of the Council of EU ministers, is striving for a similar timeline, with text close to final.
The compromise will be discussed next Tuesday (28 February) at a meeting of the Telecom Working Party, a technical body of the EU Council that prepares the groundwork for ministerial approval in the legislative procedure.

Una serie di siti di aziende e istituzioni italiane sono nel mirino degli hacker del collettivo filorusso NoName057, che ha rivendicato l'azione sui propri profili Telegram.
L'attacco, di tipo Ddos, è partito nella giornata di ieri in occasione della visita della premier Giorgia Meloni a Kiev.
"L'Italia fornirà all'Ucraina il sesto pacchetto di assistenza militare", scrivono sui propri canali citando la conferenza stampa della presidente del Consiglio e aggiungendo: "continueremo il nostro affascinante viaggio attraverso l'Italia russofoba".
L'attacco riguarda diversi siti: il collettivo cita quello del ministero degli Esteri e dell'Interno, dei Carabinieri, della banca Bper, del gruppo A2a e del ministero della Difesa (quest'ultimo sarebbe stato attaccato ieri). Fonti investigative italiane confermano l'attacco anche se, sottolineano, i sistemi di difesa delle aziende e delle istituzioni sono riusciti a mitigare le conseguenze dell'azione al punto che la maggior parte dei siti è comunque raggiungibile. Tra i domini presi di mira ci sarebbero anche quelli del portale per la carta d'identità, quello del ministero delle politiche agricole e quello del gruppo Tim.

On 23 February, The Commission presented a set of actions aimed to make Gigabit connectivity available to all citizens and businesses across the EU by 2030.
The intiatives keep in line with the objectives of Europe's Digital Decade, and to enable the transformation of the connectivity sector in the EU. They consist of:
* An adopted proposal for a ‘Gigabit Infrastructure Act', a regulation that will put forward new rules to enable faster, cheaper and more effective rollout of Gigabit networks across the EU.
* A draft Gigabit Recommendation, which seeks to provide guidance to National Regulatory Authorities on the conditions of access to telecom networks of operators with significant market power, in order to incentivise faster switch-off of legacy technologies and accelerated Gigabit networks deployment.
* The Commission has also launched an exploratory consultation on the future of the connectivity sector and its infrastructure, to gather views on how increasing demands for connectivity and technological advances may affect the future developments and needs.
