Like, this is semi contra atproto philosophy and i cop to that, but frankly I think pseudonymization is *more* of a desideratum than interaction gates. It prevents context pollution.

Pseudonymization is a hack; the real work is in building infrastructure that surfaces context rather than hiding it.

Modern view on Pseudonymization. Driven by regulations like GDPR and court decisions, the focus has shifted from pseudonymization as the method to pseudonymized is the dataset itself. This subtle change has profound implications.

Better yet, when you have to explain what they're doing is pseudonymization and not good enough.

This is one of those social behaviors that I think is “native” to and thrives on the Internet because it heavily benefits from the structural feature of remotely networked hyperlinked sub-spaces and the inherent pseudonymization of digital identities for people to more easily get away with it.

"companies, including Heidi Health, Upheal, Lyssn, Blueprint, are marketing specialized tools to therapists, such as AI-assisted note-taking, training, transcription services. These companies say they are HIPAA compliant and store data securely using encryption and pseudonymization where necessary"

Isn’t pseudonymization different from anonymization? I’m a little confused.
The Irish Presidency's Digital Omnibus compromise text has been shared by Fabien Lehagre. You can find it here: lnkd.in/ebj5jgaD.
The compromise text is scaling back its interpretation of “pseudonymized data,” which may not count as personal data under the GDPR.

After reading this article, I think it would be safe to say that if these proposals would get approved, then @gzf.bsky.social’s remark that the EU’s data protection would be weaker than that of those countries, who built their own regimes based on the GDPR is very on point.

Not nearly enough alarm bells going off on this one. This has big implications for on-device processing, encrypted data, pseudonymization and GDPR circumvention (a point the AG just didn't believe EDPS and EDPB on).

Privacy shouldn't be something you add to an API after it's built. Here, Samiat shows you how to build privacy protections right into your backend architecture. You'll learn about data minimization, PII pseudonymization, policy-based access control, & more.
