Take #2: Data privacy and innovation

Due to a technical issue, we couldn’t have a call in October. That is why we are moving the proposed topic to our November event.

A recent article in TechXplore titled “AI innovation drops under EU data regulations, researcher says” (https://techxplore.com/news/2025-10-ai-eu.html) got me thinking about why this connection is and whether there is more to it?

Reading into the topic, it appears there is more to the story.

What is your opinion?

Will “Chat Control” end encryption?

The European Union is pushing a dangerous surveillance law called “Chat Control” that would force tech companies to scan everyone’s private messages — even those protected by end-to-end encryption.

https://www.mozillafoundation.org/en/campaigns/tell-the-eu-dont-break-encryption-with-chat-control

Yes, the EU is proposing to scan and read ALL of your messages and ALL of your data as you send it to the cloud.

If you are interested in what you can do to stop it, join us for an animated chat in our next community event.

How and why to de-googlify

Are you still using Google products? Microsoft? Facebook?

I can’t blame you. Once you are sucked into the vortex of Big Tech, it is hard to escape the pull.

The good news is that there are ways of getting out and reclaiming (at least some) data privacy.

Join us for our get together to talk about some of the issues, ways out and reasons why data privacy is more necessary now than ever before.

Privacy Policies – friend or foe?

Privacy policies are everywhere – but who is actually reading them? And if you are reading them, do you actually understand them? If yes, do you agree with them?

In May, we will talk about privacy policies, their actual purpose and what they should tell us as a very minimum.

We will also highlight the good, the bad and the ugly examples out there. This one will be entertaining.
