A few thoughts on the future of legal services. Buying pre-packaged #AI solutions may be the wrong way to go. Also, I would avoid #OpenAI et al open.substack.com/pub/privacyc...

Tony Fish, always inspiring. Fantastic conversation. On #AfterTheMagic

Well, consent can be the most unethical of all legal bases, as it allows a company to run counter to the nature of a particular context by simply tricking people into accepting what they do not understand. Medical research owes a lot to legitimate interest and data repurposing (with guarantees).

How will #AI Agents affect #Ecommerce? Have LLMs reshaped keyword-based product search? How can leading retailers ensure proper governance of their AI stack while maintaining their competitive advantage? We have asked my brother Angel: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BJ0... #afterthemagic (limited series)

[EN] Can we move beyond “dark patterns” to define Manipulative Design or Interface Interference? How could we expand website and mobile app monitoring to a company’s ad stack? We asked Christine Desrosiers (Boltive) in the 5th installment of our #PrivacyTech series.

[EN] Here goes another ToS change to make room for #AI training (user content/files), followed by the predictable backlash. This time it is #WeTransfer ’s turn - Solicitor Neil Brown argues in favor of an “implied copyright license” in the UK. In TheRegister www.theregister.com/2025/07/18/l...

This gets really interesting. A particular kind of query would incorporate “intent” and beat the opposite flow (a conversation/search that starts on Shopify), and whoever owns the query can commoditize everyone else. “OpenAI to take cut of ChatGPT shopping sales in hunt for revenues” - on FT #retail

In 2021 I interviewed the great Julian Wilson, who sadly has just passed away. We covered the interplay between Self-Sovereign Data and Open Banking. His ideas remain as relevant as ever mastersofprivacy.com/julian-wilso... May he rest in peace.

Well, hard to avoid the boxes if you live in the US, but I also wonder why they still exist.

Buenísimo:) que sea leve

I’ve had it with useless chatbots. The FTC should ban them under unfair/deceptive practices. Ok, one exception, against all odds: the NC DMV’s, maybe because their website was hopeless to begin with

Bold move. I hear some EU companies are even switching to Alibaba’s cloud, which sounds wild - but I am surely missing a lot

Y todavía no sabía la que se nos venía soportando a Pedro Sánchez y su séquito, solo insultando categóricamente a quien se atreve a cuestionar sus motivos o principios. No ha habido mayor servilismo.

I really enjoyed this one.

Great point, really well articulated.

Yet again. Expecting a probabilistic system to produce an accurate output #AI

Depth of reasoning can now be determined on the fly, rather than responding to an on-off switch. #AIAgents

Researchers have wildly variable views about what the future of A.I. will bring. “Which is it: business as usual or the end of the world?” Joshua Rothman writes.

No need for an explanation, Luis! It’s all there in clear Mandarin :)

Possible #DSA fine over TikTok’s missing “ad library”. It really will get interesting once people start getting their hands on these repositories (creative+target audience)… and how does it work with black boxes? “EU takes action against TikTok over online content rules” www.ft.com/content/6fee...

Kenya’s high court recently ruled that Worldcoin, the biometric startup co-founded by Sam Altman, has to delete the personal data of over 300,000 Kenyans.

As a German I will forever be grateful to all who fought for the liberation of Europe.

But as a historian I am looking at front pages today and must wonder: What is the point of remembering #VEDay 80 years on, what is the point of our thanks, when we are failing to protect the sacrifices made? 🧵

Mostly happening in opposition-run regions (in a very decentralized country) -Baleares first?- but this is also dismissed by pro-Government media. And yet I doubt anyone can claim victory over the growth of tourism or long term stability.
