Gem from the article:

Under Article 221, §2 of the Belgian Data Protection Act of 30 July 2018, public bodies are exempt from GDPR fines in Belgium.

So Belgian public services have no incentive to comply with the GDPR.

Yikes. The money taken by fines does not disappear. It would normally move from one public pot to another public pot.

A new lawsuit filed by shareholders of Hasbro against the company and its directors alleges that company leadership has mismanaged Magic: The Gathering by overprinting sets of cards, thereby devaluing existing ones. It also, quite notably, claims that Hasbro leadership "concealed the true reason" that its widely-criticized, incredibly expensive Magic: The Gathering 30th Anniversary Set was pulled from sale within an hour of its initial release.

The lawsuit, filed in Rhode Island earlier this week, is filed by shareholders Joseph Crocono and Ultan McGlone against Hasbro CEO Christian Cocks, a number of fellow company directors, and Hasbro itself. The lawsuit alleges breaches of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, waste of corporate assets, gross mismanagement, abuse of control, and violations of the Exchange Act.

Specifically, the shareholder plaintiffs claim that, under Cocks' leadership, Hasbro has been printing far too many Magic: The Gathering sets, thereby reducing the value of existing sets. This complaint probably sounds familiar to avid Magic players, as Wizards of the Coast has been printing significantly more sets per year than it used to. This handy chart made in 2022 by jacobwillson2727 at Only on Tuesdays helps illustrate the problem, and it's only gotten worse in the years since:

President Emmanuel Macron Friday denounced what he described as an “antisemitic hydra” that had crept into “every crack” of society two decades after Ilan Halimi, a 23-year-old French Jewish man, was tortured to death.

Macron decried what he called “Islamist antisemitism which was behind the pogrom of October 7,” referring to the attack against Israel on October 7, 2023.

There's a default assumption baked into how Silicon Valley builds products, and it tracks against how urban planners redesign neighbourhoods: that communities are interchangeable, and if you "lose" one, you can manufacture a replacement; that the value of a group of people who share space and history can be captured in a metric and deployed at scale.

Economists have a word for assets that can be swapped one-for-one without loss of value: fungible. A dollar is fungible. A barrel of West Texas Intermediate crude is fungible.

...A mass of people bound together by years of shared context, inside jokes and collective memory is not.

And yet we keep treating communities as though they are.

A malicious campaign of 30 Chrome extensions masquerading as AI assistants has infected over 300,000 users, stealing credentials, email content, and browsing data[^1]. The extensions, dubbed "AiFrame" by LayerX researchers, share common infrastructure under the domain tapnetic[.]pro and use iframes to load remote content rather than implementing actual AI functionality[^1].

Popular malicious extensions still available on the Chrome Web Store include:

• AI Sidebar (70,000 users)
• AI Assistant (60,000 users)
• ChatGPT Translate (30,000 users)
• AI GPT (20,000 users)

The extensions specifically target Gmail data through content scripts that extract email content, drafts, and thread text. They can also capture voice recordings using Web Speech API and transmit data to remote servers controlled by the operators[^1].
