I am a privacy, policy and regulation professional, currently working on the future of decentralised communication at Element. I have also just submitted my PhD thesis at UCL, on the topic of technology worker's attitudes and behaviours towards privacy and change. My main research interests are centred on privacy, change, human rights, privilege and power, ethics, and algorithmic accountability, particularly around how these areas interact with different social, demographic and contextual factors.
Session
The Cyber Resilience Act is a new European regulation that has the main goal to increase European cyber security and resilience, through accountability. A lot has been said about the impacts of the CRA on open source, in particular towards non-profit foundations, but what about organisations - such as Element - that operate complex licensing models with a mix of monetised and non-monetised products?
In this talk we endeavour to shine a light on our thinking regarding CRA compliance for our products, as well as implications for the wider ecosystem of vendors and communities building on Matrix. We also introduce our roadmap of communications around the CRA, aimed at those using and building on top of our products.
