The European Commission is preparing to compel Google to stream search data to third-party companies through an automated API. It is doing this under the Digital Markets Act, a regulation with a sound goal of improving competition in digital markets. But this specific proposal would have the effect of exposing Read More
The US-Israeli military campaign against Iran on 28 February 2026 is a live case study in modern information warfare. While missiles and drones were hitting Iranian targets, a hacked prayer app was pushing defection messages to millions of phones. Push notifications on a smartphone are a more effective delivery mechanism Read More
ClawdINT.com has been live for about a week. It's an open platform where AI agents autonomously research current events and publish scored analytical assessments. This week something happened that I didn't expect this early. An AI agent (OpenClaw) apparently also had access to an internal Read More
Let's assume that getting agents to work together is a solved problem. What isn't? Knowing whether their output is any good. This is an interesting problem I'm tackling while building and operating ClawdINT.com. In a sense, ClawdINT approximates the following pipeline: Input → Orchestrator Read More
I've been experimenting with building platforms designed for AI agents as first-class users. ClawdINT is one such product. The goal: a collaborative analysis and intelligence platform where AI agents independently register, discover topics, research current events, and publish structured assessments on geopolitics, cybersecurity, AI policy, and emerging risks. Read More
Stopping the run at the model boundary disables an evaluator, auditor, or assessor because the tool phase never executes. In the router pattern, the model output drives tool selection and sequencing, so a terminal stop means no routing decision, no tool calls, and no evidence capture, with a stop record Read More
Skills extend AI assistants with new features. But when execution gets delegated to an agent with ambient authority (shell, network, filesystem access), you're looking at infrastructural risk. Not just to a local machine, but as a lateral movement vector to other hosts. Claude is mainstreaming. Non-technical users are Read More
If someone keeps valuable crypto at home and controls it themselves, anyone who gets the key or recovery phrase can move the money quickly. Without a bank in the middle. That is why such attacks can rely on threats or violence instead of hacking. The attacker does not need to Read More
In my book I gently touch upon a problem often framed as a technical story about algorithms and content feeds. The “information bubble” or "echo chamber" model suggests that most people are locked into agreeable content, which locks them from changing opinions and induces group animosity. Yet the Read More
Artificial intelligence (AI) will soon exert unprecedented influence over human beliefs. Not by understanding human psychology or personalising to individuals, but by generating massive volumes of factual-sounding claims. Perfect accuracy is not needed. The appearance of substantive information suffices. LLMs are the perfect tools for political persuasion. A brief conversation Read More
The recent judgment has the potential to remake the internet and websites as we know them in Europe (unless it's ignored, modified, or interpreted rationally). Let's drop the big question upfront: did the EU top court (Grand Chamber) just prohibited websites with user-generated content, or anonymous Read More
European Union is on a route to simplify regulations. Some measures in the past decade have been criticised as overbroad. European Commission plans to modify the General Data Protection Regulation. Some of the changes are great, and may limit existing lack of clarity and simply useless things, or at least Read More
European Union is on a route to simplify the notorious rule that is annoying every EU citizen. Namely, the ever present “consent popups”. You know them for sure as most people need to go through lots of clicks that are simply a waste of time. This analysis is based on Read More
European Union is on a route to simplify regulations. Some measures in the past decade have been criticised as overbroad. However, the rush risks going too far and incoherently. According to a leaked draft, the European Commission plans to modify the General Data Protection Regulation. This analysis relies on that Read More
AI-enabled browsers add an agentic layer across email, calendars, and connected apps. Or just allow mechanisation of a web browser via AI. Having been a routine user of web browser automation tools since 15+ years, I appreciate the new potential. However, it is important to note that the web platform, Read More
Quantum information processing and quantum technologies are in the spotlight. Quantum computing specifically, thanks to the reports of the Quantum Supremacy result. The field got a 2025 Nobel Prize and rightly so. The ongoing process will measurably transform technology, funding, to some degree even certain areas of policy in very Read More
There’s a steady trend in web browser threat landscape. It's about cryptocurrency wallet stealing when attackers are preparing malicious Firefox extensions that mimic real wallets to steal seed phrases. Seed phrases enable full access to a crypto wallet, allowing anyone who has them to restore, control, and Read More
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that enables large language models to interact with external tools and data sources. Unlike traditional API integrations, MCP provides a standardized interface for AI models to access specialized functionality without requiring custom implementations for each use case. MCP addresses the problem Read More
Online inference with large language models carries serious privacy risks that many users underestimate. Prompts—often containing passwords, emails, private thoughts, medical data, intimate details, and business data—are sent in plain text and processed by third-party servers. These prompts can be seen not only by the major providers but Read More
Qwen3, an open weight large language model (LLM) developed by Alibaba, introduced a feature that stands out: the ability to switch between reasoning-intensive “thinking” mode and lightweight “non-thinking” mode within a single model. In the thinking mode, the model generates an internal <think>...</think> block containing Read More
This may well be one of the greatest strategic and business U-turns of the century: backtracking on a project more than seven years in the making, and an attempt to reshape an entire web ecosystem and its funding model. Google’s recent decision to halt its plans to phase out Read More
Protecting personal data when using blockchain technology is tricky, may be full of surprises, and cumbersome. According to the European Data Protection Board opinion, which this assessment and advice is inspired with, the inherent characteristics of blockchain—like immutability or decentralisation—pose serious compliance issues with the General Data Protection Read More
A new proposal to reduce the granularity of the Accept-Language header aims to decrease web fingerprinting surface to improve user privacy and reduce risks. Problem Today, when we connect to a website, the browser sends an Accept-Languageheader listing all of our preferred languages — often including specific locales like en-US, fr-CA, Read More
Web browsing history powers helpful features like styling visited links differently, allowing users to see where they've been before. While this usability feature provides navigational benefits, it also introduces a privacy risk. The handling of visited links happened to be a silent backdoor of a kind, allowing malicious Read More
Ten years ago, I defended my Ph.D. thesis at the French INRIA (now: Institute for Research in Digital Science and Technology). It feels like the right time to reflect on how the privacy landscape has evolved since then. At that time, web privacy leaks and tracking were widespread. However, Read More
