It presents a case study of adversaries manipulating a loan exam automation process. The talk will introduce a reference design using business process management, an abstract decision service, and anomaly detection techniques as countermeasures against such threats. It aims to address situations where minor misclassifications by machine learning models could be amplified if adversaries discover and intentionally exploit those weaknesses.
Facebook technical analysis by the Data Protection Commissioner IrelandKrishna De
This technical report analyzes certain features of Facebook, including contact importing,
synchronization, and opting out of invitations. The report finds that:
1. Imported contact information, including from non-users, is stored in Facebook's systems and can be used to suggest connections or send invitations.
2. Contact data synced from mobile apps like iPhone is transmitted without encryption, but only names, emails and phone numbers are shared.
3. While an opt-out mechanism exists to stop invitation emails, opted-out non-users can still receive private messages from Facebook users.
4. The report identifies inconsistencies in how Facebook represents synchronized contact data to users.
1) A government entity wishes to create a Facebook page and Facebook agrees to allow this use under an amendment to its terms of use.
2) The amendment specifies that US federal law will govern any disputes rather than the terms' original choice of California law. It also replaces the indemnity provision with a disclaimer about the page not being the entity's official site.
3) The amendment makes additional changes like requiring the entity to maintain language noting its official website and representing it has authority to agree and the agreement does not constitute a federal acquisition.

Assessing the Readability of Policy Documents: The Case of Terms of Use of On...Mathieu d'Aquin
This document summarizes a study that assessed whether the readability of terms of use documents from various websites is adapted to the education levels of their target audiences. It finds that readability is often not well-adapted, using two main methods: analyzing over 1500 terms of use with the SMOG readability index and comparing typical education levels of website audiences in different countries. Results show mismatches between document complexity and user education levels for many US and India-based sites. The study concludes readability assessment is useful but has limitations when applied broadly.
Facebook's terms of service grant them broad rights to use any content users post on the platform. Specifically, Facebook receives a royalty-free license to use, sublicense, and redistribute users' content. Even if users delete content, Facebook may still have rights to share it if others have already seen and shared it. Content posted publicly on Facebook can be linked to a user's name and profile picture for anyone to see. Facebook can also terminate a user's account if they violate the terms of service.
Facebook Terms of Service and Privacy Policy PrimerDon Spinosa
Facebook's terms of service and privacy policy allow the company to collect extensive personal data from users and share it with third parties for advertising purposes. Users often do not read the full terms and may not be aware of how much information they are agreeing to share. While users can control some privacy settings, Facebook retains broad rights to use and license user content and data even after an account is deleted. The company generates billions in revenue from targeted advertising based on the large amounts of user data it collects and aggregates across platforms.
Facebook recently changed their privacy policy which caused a loss of trust from both users and marketers. The changes included simplifying privacy settings, restoring privacy controls over shared information, and allowing users to opt out of sharing information with third party applications and websites. These changes will impact what user information brands have access to and how users are exposed to brand pages. The document recommends brands be transparent about data sharing, emphasize the value of social plugins, and continue advertising on Facebook.
Juliette van balen; sociale netwerken, juridische aspectenHans Hoornstra
This document discusses the legal aspects of social networks for alumni groups of educational institutions in the Netherlands. It finds that LinkedIn, Facebook and Hyves all have alumni groups, with differences in the types of studies that tend to use each network. While social networks provide benefits like low costs and an up-to-date network, there are also legal issues like applicable California law, arbitration requirements, and the ability of the networks to change terms and delete content at any time. Privacy is also a concern regarding how personal data is collected and used, though these may be less of an issue when connecting within an existing personal network of alumni. The advice is to use social networks to maintain a presence and relationships, but build relationships directly as well
Facebook updated its terms of service to clarify that any content users post can be used by Facebook indefinitely, even if the user later closes their account. However, Facebook stated this license is subject to users' privacy settings, so content hidden from public view based on privacy settings would still be restricted. The update generated backlash from users and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg later explained they have no intention of profiting from users' content directly, but need broad licensing to legally allow sharing content with other services.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

"Choosing proper type of scaling", Olena SyrotaFwdays
Imagine an IoT processing system that is already quite mature and production-ready and for which client coverage is growing and scaling and performance aspects are life and death questions. The system has Redis, MongoDB, and stream processing based on ksqldb. In this talk, firstly, we will analyze scaling approaches and then select the proper ones for our system.
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
