Data transfers based on the old EU SCC’s must be replaced before 21 March 2024
In February 2022, the UK introduced the International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) and the UK Addendum to the European Commission’s new standard contractual clauses (new EU SCCs). These documents, essential for data protection in the post-Brexit era, are designed to ensure that personal data transfers from the UK to countries not covered by the UK’s adequacy regulations comply with the UK…

The GDPR aims to increase individuals’ access to personal data. This is aimed at standardizing data protection practices across the European Union or EU. The General Data Protection Regulation or GDPR was in effect in 2018. The main aim is to establish standards for businesses to adhere to.

Top 4 application security trends that can’t be ignored
Web applications and APIs are the primary means by which a company interacts with its customers. This makes application security a top-of-mind concern for all companies. In addition, the consistent rise in common vulnerabilities in web interface applications and the need to secure them against evolving cyber threats has assumed a critical role in organizations’ application security strategy. According to the SISA Top 5 Forensic-driven Learnings report, lack of application security causes 27% of breaches whilst contributing to 46% of them. Importantly, the initial access into the environment via a web-based application exploit is seen to occur mainly in the UAT environment and/or other non-critical virtual local area networks (VLANs), thus underscoring the importance of implementing a robust application security program.

any thoughts on the new post that staff went scorched earth on which is now making the rounds abt tumblr live? it basically screenshots all the tos and claims if you've ever opened the app (or in some rbs, unsnoozed live) tumblr has gotten your data. on the one hand i feel like this is fearmongering, but on the other its true that MOST sites have your data as is so its pretty standard. you seem pretty knowledgeable abt data gathering so i was wondering abt your take
This is going to be pretty unkind but watching tumblr users interact with staff and live is a great primer on how conspiracy theories happen.
Nobody on this fucking website knows how to read a ToS, nobody on this website knows how anything fucking works (sorry, this is not a dig at you but how would tumblr "get" your data from you clicking or unclicking live; the only data that tumblr has on you is the data that you have put on tumblr what data do people think that clicking the "new" button is scooping up that is anything beyond interactions or posts or IP addresses which are the things that tumblr already has information about like you do not introduce new information into the tumblr ecosystem by clicking a button you haven't installed anything you haven't changed permissions on your browser if everyone is so goddamned scared about live stealing their data i strongly recommend they stop using anything but public internet through an anonymizer and making sure location data is shut off on all of their devices and anyone who is flipping their shit about the type of data that live is collecting but who is using chrome on any device needs to chill the fuck out about live and flip the fuck out about google)
this is like that post about twitter's content policy that circulated the other day or that post about deviantart's content policy that circulated ten fucking years ago nobody knows how to read legal documents and nobody knows how to read technical documentation and this comes together into unholy matrimony on the no reading comprehension at all moral panic website
live never violated the GDPR it was just rolled out in the US first but the entire userbase decided that because it hadn't been rolled out simultaneously in the EU and the US that it was SO UNSPEAKABLY PRIVACY VIOLATEY THAT THE EU HAD BANNED IT FOR ITS CRIMES with, like, nothing whatsoever backing that up because, again, even at its most intrusive Live collects about as much data as Twitter or Yelp, both of which are *capable* of meeting GDPR standards with that level of data collection (even if musk sometimes makes decisions that violate GDPR).
Live is significantly less intrusive than any facebook product, than Amazon, and than any Google product. If you use youtube logged in, don't worry about live, the horse is out of the barn and tumblr is the least of your worries *regardless* of live. If you regularly use Google as a search engine please god learn how to evaluate and compare risks across platforms because Live is like a coughing baby compared to about a dozen things that most highly online people interact with every single day.
If you don't want to use live don't use live. Clicking the button doesn't magically transfer your secret FBI file to tumblr and even agreeing to the ToS doesn't share anything that tumblr doesn't already have if you don't continue to interact - if you don't interact with live after agreeing to the ToS it's not collecting any data except your non-interaction.
For everyone who is losing it over Live just turn off your goddamned location on your fucking cellphone and turn off your location on your goddamned computers and that's it, you're good, you're fine, relax. If your response to "turn off your location" is "but I need it for _____" then don't worry about Live, whatever "_____" is was already collecting and selling your data.
Do you use an activity tracker? Congrats, you have much, much bigger privacy issues to worry about than tumblr live.
Okay but also I yelled about that post and the very many ways in which it was incorrect in January.
And I happened to take an archive of the page at that time because I'm a paranoid motherfucker.
And if you want my guess as to why staff went "scorched earth" on that post it's probably because if you scroll down to the bottom of the page on the archive, OP calls on everyone looking at the post to send a kind fuck you to the CEO then tagged his tumblr.
If you look at the other posts that went scorched earth in relation to tumblr staff they were also posts that very pointedly directed a lot of ire at a single staff member.
I don't think that any individual tumblr staff members are above criticism and I don't think that staff as a whole is above criticism but part of learning to read a ToS is understanding that someone can be shitty and vague and use TERF talking points and skirt the line and be technically okay under the ToS while someone can have a legitimate gripe about another user being horrible and manage to violate the ToS by accidentally spinning up a harassment campaign or suicide baiting someone.
Shitty people like nazis and terfs thrive on being edge cases. They are very good at finding a boundary and standing juuuuuuuuust on this side of it and going "la la la I'm not violating the ToS, you can't stop me!" and that blows and it leads to a lot of people encountering a lot of shitty stuff on a lot of websites but personally I'm pretty glad that there's a lot of gray area because when you cut out gray area that's when you see things like It's Going Down getting banned as extremist content alongside white supremacists. Please continue to report nazis and terfs, and when possible go deep into their pages to report because a pattern of behavior is more likely to get recognized as hate speech than a single post that gets reported a hundred times. Please block as many people who it's harmful for you to interact with as possible because it's clear that staff is not going to do the kind of work protecting users that users would like staff to do.
However I just can't get angry on behalf of a blogger who got nuked for saying "Hey everyone who hates this feature that we all hate please go tell the CEO to fuck himself at this URL specifically" - that is an extremely clear violation of the ToS because it is absolutely targeted harassment.
So now tumblr-the-userbase is going off on its merry conspiracy way skipping through fields and lacking reading comprehension and saying "users are getting banned for reporting the crimes of tumblr live and its gdpr violations" and ignoring the fact that the post was nuked because the last line was saying "hey everyone, let's all individually tell the CEO to fuck off in messages sent directly to him that are certainly not going to include any threats, exaggerations, gore, etc. etc. etc."
If I were to make a post that had 50k notes and the last line was "and while you're at it, please send tumblr-user-ms-demeanor a personalized message telling them why they're a terrible person so they know what we think of them" it would absolutely be reasonable to say that was harassing that user. And that post did it with the CEO. Who is not above criticism (and I have my criticisms! I don't think he really gets tumblr and that's a problem!), but jesus fucking christ don't tag the goddamned CEO or any other staff member in a call to action asking users to send them messages saying "fuck off" this is literally the stupidest thing I've ever seen a tumblr conspiracy theory coalesce around.
Anyway thank you for giving me a place to vent i've been getting more and more pissed about this for three days. Everyone feel free to kindly tell tumblr user ms demeanor to fuck off.

Olympic disinformation and how ruzzians are behind it AGAIN
So, just for context, this post will be about the recent firehose of falsehoods about the boxing match between the Italian Angela Carini and Algerian Imane Khelif.
First of all, it's clear that Imane is no man. Algeria posted her childhood photos, her own father was against her boxing for it being unbecoming for girls, and Algeria itself is not exactly a liberal paradise full of LGBTQ athletes. Besides, Khelif got eliminated after the quarterfinal during the last Olympics, so clearly, there are plenty of those who punch harder. Meanwhile Italian participating in the "who can punch harder" sport had a breakdown over being punched hard. Truly surprised Pikachu face.
But you're going to say "hey, you Baltic russophobe, what does Russia have to do with this??" Well, buckle-up, because I'm about to serve you a huge scoop of russo-realism.
Just for context, I like to track russian media. It helps me find easy arguments why ruzzians are degenerate pieces of shit and proof of their imperialist genocidal mentality. So I learned about supposed trans-athlete beating the crap out of poor Italian from their media channels first, before I saw it spread like wildfire everywhere else. Ruzzians currently have a trend of jumping on every story that could discredit Paris Olympics, so they're now apparently against "men beating women". Which is ironic, because domestic violence is legal in ruzzia, so they would totally participate in "beat tf out of your wife" Olympics, but probably get disqualified for doping.
Of course, these news proved to be false, to the embarrassing shame of every bigot and their mother JK Rowling, who recently proved that her every braincell has successfully made an exit. But then new falsehood popped up, the one that even trans-supporting people shared as an argument why Khelif should be allowed to participate in women's sports. The lie was that she is a hermaphrodite, born with XY chromosomes.
This lie was, of course, fully spread in the russian media. I'd even argue they spread it first. But what is it based on?
Well, take a bowl of popcorn, because I'm about to drop my main argument.
The lie about Imane Khelif being of neutral sex first spread after she and South Korean boxer got disqualified by the International Boxing Association (IBA, not to be confused with IBF(federation)). And who is the head of this association? Certain ruzzian Umar Kremlev. Due to his leadership IBA has been involved in several controversies. Including the supposed DNA test that they took of the Algerian boxer that apparently proved that she's a man. Of course, no official record of such test exists. Not to mention, no sports federation/association normally conducts such tests, at least I never heard of it. When questions started pouring about the legitimacy of this disqualification argument, IBA quickly changed their tune, now stating that "a special test was conducted, the nature of it cannot be revealed due to data privacy reasons". Lolol so now when it was time to produce proof, ruzzians suddenly care about GDPR. It's fair to say, all of it was bogus.
But why would ruzzians have beef with Algeria? Who knows. They genuinely dislike everyone, and given that ruzzia is a mafia state, maybe the South Korean and Algerian athletes would mess up their rigged games and sports bets. Ok, but let's play the devil's advocate and assume that Umar Kremlev is the only ruzzian in a position of power who cares about fairness and doing things by the book. Then the only reason why Imane got disqualified would be over-the-norm testosterone levels. It could very much be that IBA has stricter standards for substance use than IBF or Olympics.
The arguments I'm about to present are based on the knowledge of three people that I know: a professional basketball player, a former sports official for the government, and ye humble pee collect... ehm, professional doping tester.
Essentially, every athlete uses substances. Vitamins, certain performance drugs, protein, etc etc. Think of it as that one mate of yours who drinks protein powder after every gym session. Testosterone is a common substance for female athletes, because it enhances strength by improving muscle build and retention. That is why men are objectively physically stronger. So, testosterone is one of the substances that is heavily limited for female athletes. Additionally, sports federations and associations really do have different, sometimes stricter, normatives than Olympics. But that's where Kremlev-lead IBA argument is so fake: if Khelif really was over the limit of performance-enhancing substances, they could've simply stated that she used doping. Clearly, she did not.
But let's assume again that disqualification and prior Olympic failure caused her to pump herself with testosterone and beat her way to the gold. Her norm-breaking testosterone levels would soon get proved by regular doping tests that all athletes go through after every game. And she would get disqualified. Because even if she naturally produces more testosterone, that's still breaking the Olympic normatives and giving her the unfair advantage that other countries would soon Pterodactyl-scream over to protect the chances of their own athletes. This is why ruzzia cannot compete anymore - they doped too much and too often. Being genocidal war criminals is just a cherry on top. Their state-enforced pumping of doping was so severe and open and annoyingly bold, even slightly corrupt Olympic committee couldn't ignore it anymore.
So, if the Algerian boxer is overdoing with performance enhancing drugs, she will soon get disqualified and case will be closed.
But given the fact that russians have lied about her in the past and are now flooding social media with even more propaganda, and the fact that there is no proof whatsoever that she's not 100% biologically female, and the fact that this isn't even the first time that Italian boxer pulled "owie owie, it huwts" stunt during a match, it's fair to say that Imane Khelif is just a good boxer. Even Italian boxer's coach tried to justify her dying swan stunt by saying she has sinus issues, and that's why it hurt more. But I guess bitch had sinus issues for years, cause Imane is not her first victim.
So, to summarise, there are many falsehoods. Many of those are created by ruzzia, others are just spread by them to discredit the West, the Olympics, or the decent part of humanity in general. Ruzzians are doping-gulping, cheating, women-hating, propaganda-spreading assholes. Angela Carini should be banned from boxing for being unable to handle boxing itself. And Imane Khelif, a 100% biological woman, deserved that win.

Development Update - February 2023
Tumblr media
Hi there folks, Miyazaki here with Mythaura’s development update for the month of February!
Topics covered include:
Mythaura Age of Use Policy Update
About Page Expansion
Feature Spotlight: Elements
Beast Species Sizes
Ko-fi Q3 2023 Assets
Beast Creator Contest
More info available under the cut!
Mythaura Age of Use Policy Update
Starting today, March 1, 2023, Mythaura users must be 16 years of age in order to use the site and/or participate in the Discord community. This policy will be enforced starting immediately.
Article 8 of the EU's GDPR forbids collection of data from anyone under the age of 16. The GDPR sets a general age of consent at 16, which means a business cannot "legally process the data of a data subject 15 years-old or younger." In cases where you work with the data of children under 16, you can only process the data with permission from their parent or guardian.
Tumblr media
About Us Page Expansion
We have updated our About Page with some more info about the game and features we have planned. There will be even more updates to this page as we continue to develop Mythaura’s core features.
Tumblr media
Feature Spotlight: Elements
Tumblr media
Mythaura is a world of magical creatures, each born with two elements. These cosmic elements are mysterious and powerful, imbuing the beasts of Mythaura with abilities that give them unique powers.
The first element is based on their species. For example, Griffins have the Air element, granting them incredible flight speed and agility. In addition to their species element, each beast is also given a second element that is cosmically-aligned with the time of day they were born. When both the species element and the personal element of a beast are the same, both the strengths and weaknesses of that element are compounded.
Elements are an important part of the day-to-day life of all Mythaurans. They are part of each beast’s identity, can determine what sorts of jobs they are well suited for, and can turn the tide in battle.
Read through Mythaura's elements more in-depth here!
We've also created Discord roles for each element; feel free to rep your element in the official Mythaura Discord server!
Tumblr media
Beast Sizes
Tumblr media
Each beast species in Mythaura has standard ranges for height and weight; a beast's size is determined at birth, influenced in part by genetics from its parents, in part by other non-hereditary factors. All beasts will always fall within this predetermined size range: as shown in the example below, the largest adult Basilisk will never be larger than the smallest adult Ryu.
Tumblr media
All beasts will receive stat bonuses and penalties based on how they size up against the species's average size, and can use these stats to strategic advantage in battle.
Read more about the heights, weights, and elements assigned to each beast species here for more info!

For attention of technicians in the female arousal research department.
A number of researchers have become distracted by the test subjects' facial expressions during examinations and procedures recently; this has led to unusable results, and experiments having to be repeated, costing the company valuable time and money.
In order to prevent future occurrences such as this, we will be obscuring test subjects' heads/faces with a surgical drape.
We have already preempted the issue of identifying the individual test subjects without their faces available to view, and recommend the following measure:
Serial numbers tattooed inside the labia.
As well as removing the necessity to view any part of the test subject besides the genital region, this will have the added bonus of anonymising the test subjects, and preventing any breaches of GDPR.
Tattoos will be administered by a trained medical tattooist tomorrow morning during round 1 examinations.
Please monitor arousal of the test subjects using the standard engorgement and moisture level analyses during tattooing.
This procedure will replace the usual morning sounding tests.
Results to be inputted into the spreadsheet in time for the 1pm briefing.
Thank you.

The Court of Appeal of Brussels has made an interesting ruling. A customer complained that their bank was spelling the customer's name incorrectly. The bank didn't have support for diacritical marks. Things like á, è, ô, ü, ç etc. Those accents are common in many languages. So it was a little surprising that the bank didn't support them. The bank refused to spell their customer's name correctly, so the customer raised a GDPR complaint under Article 16.
“The data subject shall have the right to obtain from the controller without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her.”
Cue much legal back and forth. The bank argued that they simply couldn't support diacritics due to their technology stack. Here's their argument (in Dutch - my translation follows)
Tumblr media
“Bank X also explained that the current customer data management application was launched in 1995 and is still running on a US manufactured mainframe system. This system only supported EBCDIC (“extended binary-coded decimal interchange code”). This is an 8-bit standard for storing letters and punctuation marks, developed in 1963-1964 by IBM for their mainframes and AS/400 computers. The code comes from of the use of punch cards and only contains the following characters…”
(Emphasis added.) EBCDIC is an ancient (and much hated) “standard” which should have been fired into the sun a long time ago. It baffles me that it was still being used in 1995 - let alone today. Look, I'm not a lawyer (sorry mum!) so I've no idea whether this sort of ruling has any impact outside of this specific case. But, a decade after the seminal Falsehoods Programmers Believe About Names essay - we shouldn't tolerate these sorts of flaws. Unicode - encoded as UTF-8 - just works. Yes, I'm sure there are some edge-cases. But if you can't properly store human names in their native language, you're opening yourself up to a lawsuit. Source GDPRhub - 2019/AR/1006
The Court of Appeal of Brussels held that, in accordance with Article 16 GDPR, the data subject has the right for their name to be correctly spelled when processed by the computer systems of the Bank. To claim in 2019 that adapting a computer system to correctly handle diacritics would cost several months of work and/or constitute additional costs for the Bank, does not allow the Bank to disregard the rights of the data subject. A correctly functioning banking institution may be expected to have computing systems that meet current standards, including the right to correct spelling of people's names.
(decided on September 10th, 2019)
Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code (EBCDIC)is an eight-bit character encoding used mainly on IBM mainframe and IBM midrange computer operating systems. It descended from the code used with punched cards and the corresponding six-bit binary-coded decimal code used with most of IBM's computer peripherals of the late 1950s and early 1960s. [...] While IBM was a chief proponent of the ASCII standardization committee,[4] the company did not have time to prepare ASCII peripherals (such as card punch machines) to ship with its System/360 computers, so the company settled on EBCDIC.
literally pre-ascii 😶

The Future of Digital Marketing: Trends You Can't Afford to Miss in 2024
Digital marketing is evolving at a rapid pace, and staying ahead of the curve is essential for businesses that want to remain competitive. As we step into 2024, several key trends are reshaping the landscape of digital marketing. These trends reflect changes in technology, consumer behavior, and market dynamics. Let’s dive into the most significant digital marketing trends that you can’t afford to miss in 2024.
1. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Automation
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been steadily gaining traction in digital marketing, and 2024 is set to see even greater adoption of AI-driven tools. AI is already being used for predictive analytics, personalized content delivery, and chatbots that enhance customer experience. In 2024, AI-powered platforms will play an even bigger role in creating tailored marketing campaigns, optimizing ad spend, and predicting consumer behavior with incredible accuracy.
Automation, alongside AI, will continue to streamline marketing processes. Automated email marketing, social media scheduling, and content curation are now standard, but advancements in AI will make automation even smarter. Marketers can expect to automate more complex tasks, such as customer segmentation and dynamic ad creation, allowing businesses to focus on creative strategy rather than repetitive tasks.
Tumblr media
2. Voice Search and Conversational Marketing
Voice search is transforming the way consumers find information. With the rise of smart speakers like Amazon Echo and Google Home, more people are using voice search to interact with brands. By 2024, voice search optimization will be crucial for businesses that want to maintain their visibility online.
Conversational marketing, which focuses on real-time, one-on-one connections between marketers and consumers, will also grow in importance. AI-driven chatbots and messaging platforms will become even more sophisticated, making it easier to engage with customers at any point in their buying journey. Personalization through conversational AI will help businesses deliver the right message at the right time, increasing customer engagement and satisfaction.
3. The Rise of Short-Form Video Content
Short-form video content, popularized by platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, is expected to dominate digital marketing in 2024. Consumers prefer quick, digestible content, and businesses must adapt by creating more short videos that are engaging and to the point. Brands will need to focus on storytelling, creativity, and humor to capture the attention of their target audience in mere seconds.
Additionally, live streaming will continue to grow, offering businesses the opportunity to connect with their audience in real time. Whether it's product launches, Q&A sessions, or live events, live streaming offers an interactive experience that fosters brand loyalty and trust.
Tumblr media
4. Personalization at Scale
Consumers today expect personalized experiences, and in 2024, the ability to offer personalized content at scale will be a key differentiator for brands. With the help of AI and data analytics, marketers can deliver highly tailored content that resonates with individual consumers. This includes personalized email campaigns, product recommendations, and even website experiences that adapt to user behavior in real time.
Personalization will not just be about addressing the consumer by name. Instead, it will focus on delivering the right content, products, and messages based on consumers’ preferences, past behavior, and even their current mood. Brands that succeed in personalizing their marketing efforts at scale will see higher engagement and customer retention.
5. Privacy and Data Protection
In 2024, data privacy will continue to be a critical concern for both consumers and marketers. With new regulations like the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) and CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act) setting strict guidelines on data usage, businesses must prioritize transparency and ethical data handling.
Marketers will need to focus on first-party data collection methods, as reliance on third-party cookies fades due to privacy concerns. Building trust with consumers by being clear about how data is used will be essential. This shift will challenge marketers to get creative with how they gather and utilize customer information in a way that balances personalization with privacy.
Tumblr media
Conclusion
As we look toward 2024, digital marketing is set to become more advanced, automated, and personalized than ever before. Businesses that embrace AI, short-form video content, voice search, and data privacy will be well-positioned to succeed in the ever-changing digital landscape. Staying ahead of these trends will be crucial for maintaining a competitive edge and delivering meaningful, personalized experiences to customers in the digital age.

Survey Programming Trends: Adapting to an Ever-Changing Field

In the realm of survey programming, the pace of technological advancement and shifting methodologies is a constant.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) have made significant inroads into survey programming, transforming the way surveys are designed, administered, and analyzed.
2. Integration of Mobile and Multichannel Surveys
With the majority of people accessing the internet via smartphones and tablets, optimizing surveys for mobile devices is no longer optional—it's a necessity. Moreover, integrating various channels, such as email, SMS, social media, and web-based platforms, ensures that surveys reach a broader audience and accommodate different user preferences.
3. Emphasis on User Experience and Accessibility
Survey programming is increasingly focusing on user experience (UX) and accessibility to ensure that surveys are engaging and inclusive. This includes designing intuitive interfaces, minimizing survey fatigue, and accommodating respondents with disabilities.
4. Enhanced Data Security and Privacy Measures
With growing concerns about data privacy and security, survey programmers are placing greater emphasis on protecting respondent information. Compliance with regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) is crucial.
5. Leveraging Real-Time Analytics and Dashboarding
Real-time analytics and dashboarding are revolutionizing how survey data is analyzed and presented. Instead of waiting for post-survey data processing, organizations can now access live data streams and interactive dashboards that provide immediate insights.
6. Incorporation of Gamification and Interactive Elements
To boost engagement and response rates, survey designers are increasingly incorporating gamification and interactive elements. Techniques such as quizzes, polls, and interactive scenarios make surveys more engaging and enjoyable for respondents.
7. Adoption of Advanced Survey Methodologies
Survey methodologies are evolving to include more sophisticated approaches, such as conjoint analysis, discrete choice modeling, and experience sampling methods.
8. Focus on Inclusivity and Cultural Sensitivity
As global surveys become more common, there is a growing emphasis on inclusivity and cultural sensitivity. This involves designing surveys that account for diverse cultural contexts, languages, and social norms.
9. Increased Use of Data Integration and Cross-Platform Analytics
Integrating survey data with other sources, such as CRM systems, social media analytics, and transaction records, provides a more comprehensive view of respondents.
10. Growing Importance of Ethical Considerations
Ethical considerations are becoming more prominent in survey programming. This includes ensuring informed consent, minimizing respondent burden, and being transparent about how data will be used.
Conclusion
Survey programming is an ever-evolving field, driven by technological advancements and shifting methodological trends.
