    Yeah, I read their about page. I wouldn’t trust them as a lone voice on something, but if other groups come to the same conclusion, sure. But mostly, I don’t trust articles with AI image headers. It makes it seem like the article is written by a bot.

      As a Privacy nerd, I agree with the conclusions in the article, for what it’s worth. We do see a lot of “privacy” law proposals lately that are anything but.

      I don’t think things will get better, on this front, until the average person better understands privacy rights and risks.

      Yeah, they work in a huge network mainly in Europe. As always, we should never trust blindly, but Epicenter appears to do a solid work. I have been disagreeing with what they said in the last years on some incidents, but all in all they do a good work. At least that’s my opinion.

  I started to highlight bits to cut out and highlight as the key points, but it became pretty quickly that that link already is the executive summary. It’s already basically in outline form, and a super quick read.

  You don’t need to rely on the headline.
