Privacy is the foundation of free speech. Without it, people will censor themselves for fear of retribution by collectors and aggregators of personal information – whether a sleazy tabloid like the National Enquirer; Big Tech (Facebook, Google, Apple); or the FBI and NSA.

blockchain is proof of existence and to establish that proof you don't need trust. For it to have value or to be able to be converted into something else you still need trust yes. blockchain it is not all encompassing but that doesn't make it useless. wired.com/story/theres-no-go…

This is frightening @AnnCavoukian “Some apps, such as Air Canada, don't properly mask data that's recorded, exposing information like passport numbers and credit card information. Air Canada employees with access to the screenshot database can readily see this data.”

Keep your eye on this space. German cartel office should give Facebook its orders this week. Again, none of this is about fines but limits on how Facebook can abuse your data for its own wealth. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

This is a deeply disturbing perspective on the humanitarian sector - esp. because humanitarian orgs won’t own the data. I sincerely hope orgs retrench in value and values (the good and principled use of data) instead of continuing to slide into surveillance humanitarianism.
'The organisation who owns the data owns the sector. ' Raises the question: who is going to own the #humanitarian sector, and are we prepared to deal with these ethical questions? @YDaccordICRC poses important question at #SOHS2018 launch (1/2)

So true: At the heart of privacy is the preservation of our freedom! You cannot have freedom without a solid foundation of privacy — just take a look at all the historic examples.

The right solution to bad behavior by a tech giant like Facebook or Google is not unilateral action by another tech giant like Apple. We cannot stake our rights to privacy and security on corporate turf wars. eff.org/deeplinks/2019/01/wh…

US data protection law may be getting its act together, though not via GDPR-like legislation. Courts are piercing the veil of 'concrete injury' requirements and unmasking consent as uninformed: courthousenews.com/facebook-…

This should not be a controversial point (particularly since consent is rarely meaningful or validly obtained).
Replying to @CenDemTech
.@CRCalabrese: “Can I say something mildly controversial? There should be some data that’s so valuable users shouldn’t, in most cases, be able to ‘consent-away.’” #SOTN19 @SOTN WATCH: stateofthenet.org/live/
