Keep an eye on those drones and your rights

You may have heard a buzzing, maybe this summer while you are walking in the country or bathing on the beach. If when you look up at the sky you’ve found it rectangular body and four propellersyou go first watching and being watched by drones. If the camera is also hanging, you might wonder if the bug can record you. Yes, you can, but there are some cases where this is the case wild and the scenario in which those pictures can not be used thanks to the law Data protection and the right to personal.

We have collected lots of questions just in case this happened to you or just in case you have your own drone, in fact it is something that has become very fashionable. Can I claim my image rights if I am filmed with a drone and used in content? Can refused to be recorded? Can the city hall or public agency film my house and use those images? What if I appear in it? Can I record the outside of my own house with a drone? Need license and insurance flying a tiny drone? And lastly, what happens if someone accidentally shoots down my drone or damages it? Well here you have all the answers.

We anticipated one of the things that surprised us the most: yes, i can record my own housebut be careful because we have to take into account who has establish intellectual property rightsbecause there are cases where they originate architect and then you have to ask permission. (And as for the soundtrack, a song called anti-aircraft and who always says hello).

DSA, censorship and free speech

We continue with the questions and answers, because at Maldita Tecnología we strive to answer your questions (and you can always write to us at [email protected]). Last week we talked to you about Digital Services Law (DSA, for its acronym in English): a set of standards approved by the European Union (EU) that seeks to protect users and their rights and since August 25, large technology companies, such as Instagram, TikTok, Google or Amazon. Here you have all the information about how these regulations work and here about the effect it has on us as users from this digital platform.

Now, the law brings that out and it’s only natural to have doubts. you have asked us who will watch the platform and based on what criteria: The European Commission will monitor the largest platforms, while the rest will depend on digital service coordinators appointed in each country. More details here. You have also written to us to find out if it is DSA only valid in the European Union or if it can reach other countries like Argentina. For now, in the EU, but may spread to other countries for the call Brussels Effect.

In addition, a variety of content on social networks ensures that DSA “attacking freedom of expression“and this is a tool for the European Commission”sensors” to the citizens. Actually, until now the user does not have any warranty to protect their freedom of expression against private platform decisions. This is where it is The DSA comes into playas we explained in this article.

– Goodbye .com, hello .web? Most likely if you view this from a browser in the url you will see it says .com. in hypertext We’ve read that these domains are running out: about 160 million websites worldwide are ending like this. And now? There were a lot of expectations with .web, which was called to be the successor, but also there are soap operas which aims to be part of the history of the future of the Internet.

– Worldcoin fell (slightly). ¿Do you remember Worldcoinproject Sam Altman, CEO ChatGPT, who wants to create a global digital identity system based on iris recognition in exchange for their cryptocurrency? Well, the value of the cryptocurrency, WLD, has plummeted throughout its first month of life: it has lost 44% of its value since its launch. That doubts about privacy and data protection project, which one examine the country carefully like Germany, France, and England, seem to have something to do with it. We tell you more in this week’s Maldita la hora podcast, which you can listen to on iVoox And on Spotify.

– ChatGPT, denounced and despised. Artificial intelligence chatbots it’s been since April is being investigated by the Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD) and the European Data Protection Committee for possible regulatory breaches. Italy, France, Ireland and Germany too they pay attention to itand now in Poland a security and privacy researcher has filed a complaint about the same issue and said that we should review the way personal data is processed, They rely on TechCrunch. We’ll see how this ends. Meanwhile, ChatGPT has been used as an insult: in the Republican primary debates in the US, said one of the candidates: “I’ve had enough tonight with guys who sound like ChatGPT.” Could this be the start of a new type of mockery, one that sounds like artificial intelligence? What would it mean to you to be told that you look like ChatGPT? Maybe we can think of it as an angry parrot repeating things it has heard without much idea 🦜 😐. And that is it ChatGPT is more or less like that.
