Wanna know what your browser is doing behind the scenes? Well Google's Chrome appears to be sending your entire browser history back to their servers.... Firefox et al are not much better... scss.tcd.ie/Doug.Leith/pubs/… #privacy #dataprotection #surveillance

Another shocking data story on front page of @FT. Google reported to Irish regulator for secretly tracking users. Massive breach of GDPR if proven. Congrats to Johnny Ryan & @RaviNa1k for bringing case. A lot of work... ft.com/content/e3e1697e-ce57…

Need another reason to #deleteFacebook? The platform is marketing user data to cellular carriers to use to assess things like user creditworthiness. Some of the data they pull directly from smartphones includes: • Locations • Interests • Social groups theintercept.com/2019/05/20/…

Friends! An investigation we’ve been working really hard on has been broadcast on @BBCClick today. I spent a month using GDPR to try to pull all my personal data into one place: 7000 pages in total. See below, for a story of two business models: bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0…

Note to the Future: After amassing unprecedented private data of billions, Google & Facebook began touting privacy as a means of not sharing that data with others. nytimes.com/2019/05/07/techn…

Like the rest of the tech industry, Google needs to make a commitment to protecting users’ data and respecting privacy. Sundar Pichai and other executives will almost certainly weave this throughout the opening keynote, @pardesoteric says wired.com/story/google-io-20… via @WIRED

Facebook's future is not about privacy. It's more likely about consolidating the data you provide to each app into one unified "ad profile." read.medium.com/EQW43NY

1)Surely you’re not suggesting that the decisions to be made regarding choosing to obtain value from one’s personal data be made by someone other than the data subject? Privacy is all about control, and if you want to sell your data you should be free to do so: freedom of choice!

2) Selling your data does NOT mean giving up your privacy! Think Homomorphic Encryption. The rich vs. poor argument is a red herring. Everyone should be able to decide what value they wish to derive from their own data: Not you, not the state.

Online shops and marketers routinely share customer data with Facebook. Turns out: in many cases this could now be illegal. @netzpolitik_org reports on a ground-breaking decision by the Bavarian Data Protection Authority on Facebook CustomAudience netzpolitik.org/2019/faceboo…
