Fact Sheet: President Donald J. Trump Addresses Threats to the United States from the Government of Brazil
ADDRESSING A NATIONAL EMERGENCY: Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order implementing an additional 40% tariff on Brazil, bringing the
What a bizarre and strange world we live in. To see Brazil framed as a national security threat to the U.S. based solely on sovereign and legitimate decisions taken by the Supreme Court that helped save Brazilian Democracy is a real absurd. Colonialism 4.0.

E como a linha de questionamentos sobre a validade de regulações como o AI Act ou o DSA, e no brasil a recente decisão do STF, parece ser uma nova e sedimentada diretriz de politica externa de Trump.

Em ambas conversas destaquei a linha de completo desrespeito por decisoes soberanas legitimas adotadas por instituições brasileiras, e a forçada de barra do governo americano ao utilizar a aplicação de tarifas para tentar emplacar a agenda "desregulatoria" ao redor do mundo.

In The Trump Era, Deregulation Has Become A Foreign Policy Directive | TechPolicy.Press
We need to abandon global strategies based on tariffs that aim to concentrate technological power exclusively in the US, writes Bruna Santos.
As the US escalates trade probes and attacks on foreign tech regulations, the question arises: Is this about protecting the internet, or advancing a global deregulatory agenda? writes Bruna Santos.

Together w/ @cdteu.bsky.social @beuc.eu @ecnl.bsky.social and other signatories, we call on the EU Commission to refrain from opening the AI Act and therefore undermining hard-won fundamental rights protections in the EU digital acquis.

GDPR Omnibus changed the mid-sized company caps to 750 employees, meaning that companies and organizations with fewer than 750 employees will no longer be required to maintain records of personal data processing activities in low-risk cases.

The CoP must explicitly require AI outputs be traceable to their source model (identifiable & understandable) to uphold rights. This is vital for all models, including complex open-source ones. 3/3

Currently, neither the #AIAct nor the draft CoP explicitly requires transparency for GPAI model outputs. This weakens accountability & fundamental rights protection. Incident reporting efforts (Commitment II.12) aren't enough. 2/3

WITNESS analysis of the EU AI Act's draft GPAI Code of Practice (CoP) flags urgent concerns. One point -we need stronger Output Transparency requirements to ensure information integrity. 1/3

Elon Musk’s beef with Britain isn’t (only) about politics. It’s about tech regulation
Experts suspect X owner’s interest in UK is to put pressure on authorities working to codify a new online safety law
"The media & political classes in general are being distracted by [Musk's] sleight of hand. This is all flim-flam to disguise what he is really up to, and his agenda is purely economic in nature.”
Our CEO @imranahmed.bsky.social in @theguardian.com on the main reason for Musk's interest in the UK 👇
