Privacy@lemmy.ml•Bill to ease data protection law for AI development clears Japan's lower house - The MainichiEnglish
2·2 months agoI am adding this comment as related information has come to light.
In March of this year, Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi met with a representative of Palantir Technologies.
On Japanese social media, there are voices speculating that this relationship between Palantir and Japan may have led to the introduction of this bill.
One thing to be aware of if you want to avoid matrix.org is that Matrix communities can restrict federation with other servers.
In fact, the official Codeberg Matrix space has adopted this setting, and I ended up having to create an account on matrix.org again.

In an article written in Japanese, the author points out the differences in maliciousness between Bluesky and other Fediverse services.
For example, while Mastodon administrators can access blocking lists that include federated users, Bluesky’s access is not limited to administrators and is publicly available as a fully public API not found in the official app.

Both Mastodon and Bluesky fail to implement measures such as notifying users of this fact when they make their first reaction, but Bluesky’s particular maliciousness lies in its excessive disclosure of API permissions.
At least I believe Bluesky should have limited its API permissions to the same level as Mastodon.
