#Privacy folks! I'm excited to share that I'll be speaking at Privado.ai's Bridge Privacy Summit this year on running technical #PrivacyReviews. We'll be talking through a crash course in spinning up privacy review programs, how to calibrate them for your organization's risk level, and striking the right combination of internal experts with privacy specialists.
You can register for the virtual summit here: https://www.privado.ai/bridge-privacy-summit

"One has to peel back so many layers of time to remember that a good percentage of corporate America announced at the time that it would stop backing members of Congress who had supported the effort by refusing to vote to certify the results of the election, a boast that required cutting off support to the bulk of congressional Republicans. Yes, if you don’t remember, that actually happened." -- Josh Marshall

Meta is ending its fact-checking program in favor of a 'community notes' system similar to X.
Zuckerberg announced a series of major changes to the company's moderation policies and practices, saying that the election felt like a "cultural tipping point."

@sindarina With @freexian 's LTS/ELTS offer, we aim to provide security support for up to 10 years, alas it's a challenge that cannot always be met for all packages... in particular for packages that were a bit left aside during their time in unstable/testing (for example when a maintainer disappears).
To avoid releasing Debian with outdated software versions, and ensure all the packages used by corporate users are in their best shape and can be supported for as long as possible, we believe that pro-active monitoring of unstable is required. Freexian is going to propose something in this direction in 2025.
Recent case where we helped to avoid this: https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts/2024/12/msg00004.html
