Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, SpaceX, and X, threatened to ban Apple devices from his companies in response to Apple’s new partnership with OpenAI. Musk expressed concern about the potential integration of OpenAI at the operating system level, calling it an “unacceptable security violation”. He suggested that visitors to his companies would have to leave their Apple devices at the entrance in Faraday cages to prevent electromagnetic wave transmissions. Apple announced its partnership with OpenAI at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference, aiming to bring generative artificial intelligence tools to Apple products. The new “Apple Intelligence” system will use AI to enhance Siri and provide personalized tools to users, with OpenAI’s technology supporting some of these new features. Musk, who co-founded OpenAI in 2015 but now runs a rival firm called xAI, has a contentious relationship with his former company and is currently suing them for allegedly breaching OpenAI’s founding agreement

The Markets in Crypto-Assets Act, or MiCA, a landmark regulatory framework in the EU, is now a reality. The European Parliament cast its definitive vote on April 20, 2023, and the Act was subsequently ratified by the Economic and Financial Affairs Council of the EU on May 16, 2023. This acceptance marks the successful conclusion of the legislative process, signifying that the Act has been officially adopted and now is anticipated to enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

EU police and judicial authorities are advocating for client-side scanning, a method to search and extract private communications directly from users’ devices like smartphones, laptops, and tablets. This push comes as part of the ongoing “Crypto Wars” debate and concerns about the “Going Dark” scenario, where end-to-end encryption in messaging apps like WhatsApp, iMessage, and Signal potentially hinders law enforcement investigations. The EU Innovation Hub for Internal Security is calling for an expanded discussion on techniques to bypass encryption, with a particular focus on client-side scanning (CSS). They argue that such methods deserve “thorough examination” as a potential solution to access encrypted communications. This initiative is part of a broader effort by EU law enforcement agencies to address challenges posed by encryption technologies. While acknowledging the importance of individual privacy, these agencies emphasize the need for lawful surveillance to ensure collective security. However, the proposal has raised significant concerns among civil society organizations, cybersecurity experts, and IT companies, who warn that client-side scanning could create substantial security risks for citizens, businesses, and governments.

Ledger has been criticized for prioritizing profit over security. Key concerns include:
- Collecting user data through initiatives like “Ledger Quests.”
- Releasing new devices with features that may not enhance security.
- Lack of transparency about device security and not making code public.
- Discontinuing support for older devices, potentially leaving them insecure.
- Slow response to security vulnerabilities.
- Poor community support and slow customer service.
- Data breaches, including a major 2020 incident.
These issues have raised doubts about Ledger’s commitment to user security.

The EU Commission is planning to introduce a mass surveillance apparatus known as “Chat Control,” which would severely jeopardize citizens’ privacy and security. Threema, a Swiss messaging service, strongly warns against the consequences:
- Chat Control is incompatible with democratic principles and violates the right to privacy.
- It undermines data security by forcing backdoors into encrypted communication.
- Mass surveillance would be ineffective, as criminals would easily find ways to circumvent it.
Threema emphasizes that there will never be a version of their app that eavesdrops on or monitors users. If Chat Control is implemented, the company will be forced to leave the EU. EU citizens are urged to advocate against Chat Control with their government representatives before a potential decision on June 19, 2024.

Microsoft’s new Copilot+ PC program introduces an AI-powered feature called ‘Recall’ that takes frequent screenshots of users’ screens and stores them for later retrieval. This feature raises privacy concerns, as it captures sensitive information without content moderation. While the data is stored locally and encrypted, some users are uneasy about the potential security risks. The feature is expected to be enabled by default on new Copilot+ PCs but can be disabled in settings. Microsoft plans to bring Recall to non-Snapdragon devices via a Windows update, though its requirements for Neural Processing Units may limit compatibility
