Hey everyone! Happy Easter! I’ve got some news: Privalogy is now running on its own domain: privalogy.com

Sometimes we choose to step out of our comfort zone. I’ve been programming with NetBeans (and IntelliJ) for at least 15 years … went through all the versions. I decided to try Windsurf today. Took a bit of work to set everything up, but I’m actually enjoying it.

I asked the AI to transform the first game I ever played using today’s technology, like if it were on a PlayStation 5. Look how it turned out: Alex Kidd in Miracle World

⚠️ The Invisible Risks of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) Language models need context to work, but when that context goes beyond expected boundaries, what was once personalization turns into exposure. privalogy.substack.com/p/the-invisi...

The 2024 WordPress Security Report is out: 8,223 vulnerabilities disclosed, a 68% increase. But don’t panic! most are low-risk. Plugins remain the main threat (96%), and XSS leads the charts. Full report: www.wordfence.com/wp-content/u...

When we say to protect your devices, that’s not exactly what we mean.

If data is power, privacy is responsibility. Handle both with care.

Good times. Windows XP, MSN, Winamp, Kazaa, mIRC, iCQ

Ireland’s data regulator, the Data Protection Commission (DPC), said Friday that it has opened an investigation into Elon Musk’s X over the social media platform’s use of personal data collected from European users to train Grok. techcrunch.com/2025/04/11/i...

Privacy is the last frontier of freedom, not because it hides who we are, but because it lets us choose who we become. Nice Friday folks!

🕊️ Erase my name, Amen: The right to be forgotten, even by God When the GDPR knocks on the sacristy door, to whom should we plead for mercy? privalogy.substack.com/p/erase-my-n...

Of the things I don't understand: people offering e-books with "100 GPT prompts for this", "300 killer prompts for that"… but seriously, who downloads an e-book just to copy and paste prompts? Some of these products make no sense.

Start small, but start now. Building privacy into your product is easier than fixing it later. “Privacy by design”

As a privacy professional, I wasn’t thrilled by the news suggesting that the European Commission might loosen parts of the very privacy law it created in 2018. privalogy.substack.com/p/donald-tru...

I keep seeing o.O .. the most ridiculous ideas… “Don’t copy and paste from ChatGPT! Paste it into a tool that will analyze the AI text and turn it into something that doesn’t look like it was written by AI.” God, where does it end?

Privacy is not a feature. It's a right that must be respected and protected by design.

😆😆😆😆 and the guy that used an AI avatar to argue his case in court… and didn’t tell the judges. Wild move, but a reminder that tech without transparency can backfire fast. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/n...

“The plan for changing the GDPR will be unveiled by May 21, according to a European Commission agenda. One goal is to simplify the record keeping requirements which small & medium sized enterprises with <500 people are subjected to, McGrath said.” therecord.media/eu-proposal-...

I read somewhere that Gen Z kids are rediscovering Sony Cybershots and are amazed by the wonders of the 2000s. It feels like the perfect moment for Orkut to make a comeback, unchanged! Same look and feel, just with the security flaws fixed. I’d even say it would be a hit.

The UK demanding Apple to weaken encryption is like asking a locksmith to make a spare key for every thief…just in case. Privacy isn't a privilege; it's a human right, and trying to debate it in secret only shows how little they value it. www.bbc.com/news/article...

🇪🇺 EU | 🇨🇳 CHINA 🔴 TikTok Faces €500M GDPR Fine 🔸 Ireland’s DPC to penalize TikTok for sending EU user data to China. 🔸 ByteDance violated GDPR by allowing Chinese engineers access to personal info. 🔸 Fine likely before end of April; TikTok may appeal in Irish courts.

New U.S. cross-border data rules take effect on April 8 and will impact most U.S. companies. To stay out of scope, companies should update vendor contracts, especially with non-U.S. entities. Finally, updating privacy and sec assessments helps identify and block risky data flows
