Which group in France is against? I consider making this issue a top priority for choosing who I vote for.

You forgot the /s

Usually, an impact study is made before such type of laws are made:

• if this law is enacted, how much will it cost to the manufacturers to update their factory settings?
• how will this be impacted on the device cost in the UK compared to other markets?
• how many users will get stuck when losing the unique ID of the device, what are the recovery procedures, how costly is it to end users?
• how many users will be protected by the measure and what cost for society does it represent?
• how many users will set a dumb password anyhow and what is the cost for society?

I’d be curious to see the impact study, as many of those are actually botched.

I remember the early 90’s when fiber connection was being developed in research centers.

Researchers had found a way to transmit all of a country’s phone calls’ bandwidth through a simple fiber cable. Then, they wondered: what could we use this for?

This was a few years before the explosion of the internet…

What prevents you from revoking your payment mandate at your bank?

In Europe at least, your bank must honor this request and there’s nothing your debtor can do about except spending 1000’s to recover at most 3 months of payments with the current legal apparatus in Europe.

The product advertises its AI, the person who implemented the feature was hired as a data scientist, and the technical solution is called logistic regression.

Does this means we can invade truth social or reddit/conservative and they won’t be allowed to ban their contradictory?

As commonly said: the product advertises its new AI feature. The job posting of the person who implemented it was ‘data scientist’, and the technique used is called logistic regression.

Well, in this context, it’s more image comparison or some other simple technique not even relying on a training dataset.

At one of my clients, a large institution, they go further: you’re not allowed to use the local browser’s password manager. And still have to abide by the usual password rules: rotate every 3 months, complex passwords, etc.

As a result, users store a plain text file on their desktop (some go as far as printing it), that conveniently allows them to retrieve their passwords.

Too much security kills security.
