“#Loper Bright is a case seeking to restore one of the core tenets of our democracy: that Congress, not the administrative agency, makes the laws,” the #Koch network spokesperson said.
(#Chevron never said that #congress did not make the #laws. It only says that the #agencies design #regulations to implement the laws that Congress makes.)
While most Americans aren’t familiar w/the 1984 case #ChevronvNRDC, it’s one of #SCOTUS’s most-cited decisions. #Legal scholars sometimes mention it in the same breath as #BrownVBoardOfEducation & #RoeVWade. In essence, #Chevron is about #GovernmentAgencies’ ability to issue #regulations. After a #law is enacted, it’s generally up to #agencies across the gov to make detailed rules to put it into effect. The Chevron decision said courts should be hesitant to second-guess agencies’ determinations.
The #Koch network is among the largest & most #influential #political orgs of the last half century, & it’s underwritten a far-reaching campaign to influence the course of #American #law. In a case the#SCOTUS will hear this coming term, the justices could give the network a historic victory: limiting #FederalAgencies’ #power to issue #regulations in areas ranging from the #environment to #LaborRights to #ConsumerProtection.

The internet should be regulated like TV was with broadcasting standards act. Why hasn’t that happened? Governments have been so lax when it’s their duty to protect society. Corporate greed running rampant. At least the EU is giving it a go.
"#Statism" is basically a measurement of how much #control you think a #government should have over its #people. If you love #rules and #regulations and forcing others to do certain things or not do certain things, you fall to the high end of this scale (rightward).
If you're a John #Varley-style #Heinleiner, and think everyone should be independent and only engage in entirely voluntary transactions, you fall to the low, leftward end of that scale.

Amazing things started to happen when the #ClosedWeb #SocialMedia place got #OpenWeb'D. Init? 👀👀 🔍
#PrivateFacebookForums made #Public and the list of names involved in #GangStalking is quite effective and prosecutors love using 18 U.S.C. Sec 241 to hand out 5, 10, 15 to Life Sentences for this #GangStalking behavior btw.
For one example of this #GangStalking behavior coupled with illegal #Surveillence by the #Landlord found by the residents of a whole neighborhood, btw:
.... What iF your #Landlord was disclosing when their #Tenants were leaving _their_ residence for coordination of #BreakIns using #SocialMedia to harass the #renter? That would be pretty stupid based on how #ediscovery at #Meta works.
🔎 WOT iF the #Police just looked the other way because this was under $10k of theft? WOT iF #BodyCam footage was correlated with #PoliceReports to uncover this? 💯🔍
#FacebookMessenger is not #private
#FunFact : #MarkZuckerburg lied to you about #privacy
He told you earlier in his career '#DumbFscks shouldn't trust #Meta.'
#MARCOM lied to you about #Privacy & #Advertising networks you call #SocialMedia. Duh.
Not everyone has a #Meta account
Not everyone has a #Facebook
Not everyone has an #Instagram
Not many people even know what a ' #Metaverse ' even IS let alone visit it outside of #Meta per the huge losses at the #VR #AR #MR division of #RealityLabs there in Menlo Park, CA.
#Prosecutors are already using this #OneWeirdMARCOM trick, 'saying everyone is on something ' when in fact, No, very few people ACTUALLY use this. Did you miss the #RICO documentary about #MarkZuckerburg in 2010 or something? 🤔
Now they are just weaponizing certain states laws on #abortion to go after your #Mothers and #Daughters for #abortions in #ListOfStates, btw. Read up on which states those #FreeWebHosting companies that are JUST #Advertising companies with #WebHosting btw, 💯, where YOU ARE THE PRODUCT being SOLD, data wise, since you don't pay them, obvs., except now in places in the EU, where they are looking at #OptingOutOfAdvertising & offering a #PaidWebHosting model, duh, due to #Regulations on certain things #ForcedConsent & otherwise, being completely illegal. #GDPR

🎉 Exciting News for Non-Federated Social Media Users! 🌐
Unveiling New EU Rules: Your Social Media Feed & Ads Get a Makeover!
In late August, a wave of fresh platform regulations came into play. The largest online platforms are now bound to follow rules crafted exclusively for them by the European Union. This is all part of a special section within the Digital Services Act (DSA), focusing on Very Large Online Platforms and Search Engines. These rules apply to the 19 biggest platforms out there.
From Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, to Facebook, even platforms like Booking.com and the mighty Google search engine, all have to align with the DSA rules. While many of these regulations might not directly affect users, there are key changes in how you can personalize your feed and gain a deeper understanding of the advertisements you encounter. Here's a quick rundown of what's changing and how you can make the most of these exciting new options:
✨ Non-Personalized Feeds:
Major platforms are now required to provide recommendation algorithms or feeds that don't rely on user profiling. This is a game-changer since profiling often leads to manipulation, filter bubbles, and addictive social media behavior. Here's how you can tailor alternative feeds on different platforms:
- Instagram: Opt for a chronological feed, displaying posts solely from accounts you follow. Simply tap "For You" and choose "Following" at the top-left corner. Remember, you'll need to do this every time you open the app.
- Facebook: Similarly, select a chronological feed by going to the "Lists" section in the menu and clicking "Friends." Just like Instagram, you'll need to make this choice each time you use the app.
- TikTok: Switch to a "popular" content feed by disabling personalized feeds. Hold down the screen, go to "Manage feeds" in the menu, and turn off personalized feeds. This changes your "For You" page into the "Popular" page.
- LinkedIn: Opt for "Most recent" instead of "Top updates" in your feed by selecting the option at the top-right corner. You'll need to do this each time you visit the site or app.
- Twitter: Toggle between "For you" and "Latest tweets" at the top of your feed to view tweets in chronological order from accounts you follow.
- YouTube (shorts): Enjoy content from subscribed accounts and shorts in chronological order.
Ad Transparency:
Thanks to these new rules, major platforms now need to be transparent about their advertisements. Users gain insight into the "why" behind ads and who's behind them. Here's how you can uncover ad transparency on different platforms:
- On Meta's Instagram and Facebook, tap the three dots on a sponsored post and select "Why am I seeing this ad?" Discover the targeting criteria, such as age, gender, location, and interests.
- On Google services like the search engine and YouTube, tap the three dots or the (i) and go to "my ad center." Here, find info about the ad, the advertiser, and why you're seeing it based on various factors.
- On TikTok, tap the share arrow and choose "About this ad" to uncover targeting details including age, location, and activities on and off TikTok.
- On LinkedIn, tap the dots on an ad and select "Why am I seeing this ad?" Gain insight into the advertiser's goals, such as targeting members with similar attributes.
- On Twitter, tap the three dots next to a sponsored tweet, select "Why this ad," and unravel the reasons behind its appearance.

@dave Saying "we" have "never" regulated corporations is incorrect. Before Reagan/Thatcher and the wave of neoliberal propaganda that was the -JOB- of government. Protecting the public from corporate harms (regulations) was the POINT of democracy.

This should not be newsworthy. It should not take hundreds of thousands of dollars in court judgements to make news be news again. For reporters to report the facts - in real time, not in a disclaimer after the interview is aired - is not too much to ask; we need a 21st Century Fairness Doctrine.

Troubles with buying a #house in #Spain. After having viewed many houses, we found a suitable one in #AlhaurínElGrande.
The #realtor assured us that everything is fine, it has all the papers and a #municipal #sewer connection.
Of course I needed #inspections to make sure so we made an initial offer agreement which states that the sellers will fix any minor problems that arise from inspections and otherwise and if not, the offer is void.
Then the realtor said that it actually has a #SepticTank, a proper one of the total oxidation type which is mandatory by law. Ok, they accepted my offer which was a bit lower than what they asked for so a septic tank is fine by me.
An inspection found leaking roofs, moisture rising from the floors, damp damage, #asbestos, bad design of using a sewage pump from downstairs toilet uphill, and failing A/C units, among other things.
Their lawyer spend weeks trying to track down the #LicenciaDePrimeraOcupación from archives, and when it became clear they don't have it, they tried to hide the fact from me. Instead they contacted the #mortgage #bank manager directly and negotiated the missing #LPO with him, I'm assuming with an implication that I would be later responsible for getting it.
Then I ask the realtor one more time about what sort of a septic tank it has as they had a plumber visit to fix some things and make sure. She says, it's actually a #PozoCiego (i.e. a #PozoNegro, an illegal hole in the ground). It's explicitly illegal on all levels from #EU #directives to municipal #regulations in Alhaurín el Grande, and the area is in the flow basin of #Guadalhorce natural #conservation area.
Ok, that's illegal and prevents an LPO being granted.
I tell them to replace the illegal pozo negro with a legal septic tank, get the LPO, fix the roofs and the moisture damage, and get rid of the asbestos.
They unsurprisingly refused. They say an illegal pozo negro is "not illegal, and is more environmental than a plastic septic tank which breaks down, and never needs maintenance". And a zillion excuses. "Most houses are moving to pozo negro now because it's better than a septic tank". "An LPO isn't needed, the house was legal when it was built and it wasn't needed when the previous owners bought it".
I gave them a chance to fix the deficiencies and now I'm waiting for the offer to expire so that I can get my deposit back, and because of dishonest behavior by the sellers I will send them the bill for my expenses for the external inspection.
The story continues in real time.

I wonder how many folks realize when they're tilting at a windmill and drop it, vs continuing the futile battle out of principle.
I'm reaching that decision point with some privacy policies I'm reviewing. They don't appear to be compliant with applicable privacy regulations... but to get them (and the processes they describe) changed, I may as well put a barber's basin on my head, grab a lance, and find a horse to mount.

At this point regulating AI would just lead to massive monopolies from companies that have a battery of lawyers.
It’s not by chance that most regulations are so complicated and not understandable.
It is because big companies can exclude smaller player from forming if the toll of complex regulation is unbearable.
A regulation of this kind would just prevent that open source AIs will become a thing and we will be always tied to the whims of big corporations like google or Microsoft.
The CEO of OpenAI already called for more AI regulations. For context: one of OpenAIs high end AIs „DALLE 2“ has become practically useless overnight because a open source model „#StableDiffusion “ was released. - this alone has cost his company millions.
So we see that big companies (OpenAI belongs to 49% to Microsoft) want more regulation because this creates a better marked position and prevents free open source AIs to reduce their profit.
I attach the tweet of the OpenAI CEO. In which he states that regulations will be very critically important (for his company i guess) and throw fear a sentence later.

No, #Deregulation is the issue. #Capitalism needs #regulations to keep it from harming the nation and world. There has been way to much deregulation, and stopping of new regulations since the 1970s. We need capitalism as a means to motivate creative people to find and create life enhancing inventions. We also need the regulations to keep any capitalistic venture from gobbling up more than it's fair share of resources, or destabilizing the system. #SVB #SVBFailure #EPA #FDIC #SEC

"Nanny State" is a right-wing propaganda term, to imply that democratic government acting to make people's lives better is somehow a bad thing.
In a democracy it is the JOB of govenment to spend to make people's lives better and regulate to protect people.

The cemetery’s disappearance cleared the way for the expansion of a #Microsoft data center, despite layers of federal and state #regulations nominally intended to protect culturally significant sites.

I am a Critical Infrastructure & Industrial Security Advisor and CEO at Ampere Industrial Security (@amperesec). I spend most of my time on planes and in airports, but I’m proud to be #PDX-based. Also US Coordinator and professor for the Centro de Ciberseguridad Industrial (CCI) in Madrid as well as SANS ICS456 and CSA CPH #CISL program instructor. Former utility staff (electric, telecom, water), recovering regulator, and one of the original architects of NERC CIP. Often found on stage ranting heretically at #ICS and #OT conferences. Honored to be BEER-ISAC coin 001 (@beerisac).
I mostly post about work in #infosec, #travel, #conferences, #regulations, and typical ICS/OT security topics. I also spend a lot of time carefully curating news stories from a wide range of tech, science and infosec sources which I then automatically post on my personal social media account(s) - no, this isn’t a bot.
