Privacy Sandbox regulatory scrutiny is the biggest (ever!) case of a privacy-competition trade-off that we've ever seen. It's so fascinating particularly to me, having done a PhD in privacy systems (real-time bidding), and LL.M. in Information Technology Law, so viewing the industry for >10 years now, from many sides. #GDPR#ePrivacy#APRA
Android TV-Box aus China geht wieder zurück. Null #Datenschutz und #ePrivacy, liest man die zu bestätigenden Bedingungen, so kommt das fast einer Entmündigung gleich. Der Hersteller lässt sich jedes Recht bestätigen, selbst automatische Updates, ohne das Recht des Benutzers, diese Automatik abzuschalten.
Werden solche Boxen eigentlich datenschutztechnisch von irgendjemandem geprüft?
Oder gilt hier auch, der Hersteller kann machen bis jemand was sagt?
Vielleicht sollte jede(r) Nutzer:in von #LinkedIn mal sein, laut #DSGVO zustehendes, Auskunftsrecht verwenden, und schauen, welche Daten erhoben werden.
@theregister have published an article on my complaint to the Irish DPC in relation to Meta opting people in to their "Free with Ads" tier for Facebook and Instagram:
So I have it on good authority that two companies I filed complaints against for non-compliance with #GDPR and #ePrivacy Directive are facing significant penalties in the near future.
I filed one of the cases almost 4 years ago and the other 2 years ago with two different Supervisory Authorities.
« Une bonne partie des #cookies tiers se sont transformés en cookies first party »
« Si des données sont lues et échangées entre des serveurs “en back-office”, sans passage par le terminal de l’utilisateur, l’article 82 de la directive #eprivacy ne s’applique pas »
I feel like the focus on cookies is all a deception so that regulators don't see how the tracking sausage is really made. Of course, if regulators bothered to hire people who knew their shit in this area, we might not have that problem.
With all the positive, privacy-friendly #EU changes of #GDPR and #eprivacy it's bizarre to see #eIDAS2 trying to introduce ID wallets and government-controlled man-in-the-middle root certificates.
This seeks to undermine HTTPS and - even in good hands - would be a backdoor we must not tolerate.
Did you know that #ePrivacy Directive/Regulation is currently a major obstacle, in Europe, to develop privacy-enhancing technologies? I'm not joking. I have proofs. Stay tuned for more :-) #GDPR
Gotta love it when a douchebag tracking company publishes a white paper explicitly illustrating all of the ways they are breaking EU law in relation to ePrivacy and GDPR - talk about giving gifts!
AWIN will be the subject of my next legal complaint :)
Facebook/Instagram's Threads, the new text-based Twitter competition, and the data it's going to collect. Surely we can't want to give them all of our data? #GDPR#ePrivacy
