@stux there is confirmation that they collaborated with the PRISM program in the past. Reformed offenders? Maybe. But also let's not forget that #privacywashing is a very good marketing and PR enabler. I personally still don't trust them.
Wählen ab 16: Chance oder Gefahr für die #Demokratie?
Erstmals dürfen in Deutschland auch Jugendliche ab 16 Jahren ihre Stimme bei der #Europawahl abgegeben. Der Absenkung des Wahlalters ist eine langjährige Debatte über die Vor- und Nachteile vorausgegangen.
Ist Wählen ab 16 sinnvoll? Und wie könnte sich das abgesenkte Wahlalter auf die Europawahl auswirken?
#BigTech hat mit #DarkPattern, #Framing, #Gamification, #PrivacyWashing usw. eine ideale Basis geschaffen, die #Extremisten nutzen um uns noch stärker von einander zu isolieren und gegenüber Mitmenschen misstrauischer zu werden. Wenn ich einem Freund anbiete bspw. ein Chatkonto auf einem Server von mir zu erhalten, wird unterstellt, dass ich sie/ihn ausspionieren und abhängig machen wollen würde. Bei #GAFAM ist sowas irrelevant. :yayblob:
The W3C – the standards body of surveillance capitalism – on privacy.
If you had any “privacy principles” to speak of, what would Adobe, Alibaba, Amazon, Baidu, Bloomberg, Google, Huawei, IAB, IBM, Meta, Microsoft, Oracle, Samsung, Bilibili, SoftBank, Tencent, Yahoo!, Zoom, etc., be doing on your members list?
De temps en temps j'utilisais le moteur de recherche #swisscows : https://company.swisscows.com/en. Mais j'ai remarqué qu'il bloquait des éléments issu du monde du logiciel libre comme #peertube en prétextant :
"ce mot de recherche n’est pas autorisé pour les enfants âgés de moins de 18 ans. Comme nous avons décidé de protéger les mineurs, le mot "peertube" est exclu de la recherche."
"Like oil companies claiming fossil fuels are 'green', Google, Apple, Microsoft, and others increasingly try to convince people their surveillance-based advertising models are 'private' when they’re not. This sneaky marketing practice is known as privacy washing."
Are you a privacy professional? Would you like to work with companies like Google and Facebook to help them continue to violate our privacy? The W3C has a job for you.
Pays well, by the way (violating human rights always does).
W3C is seeking a full-time staff member to lead our Privacy standardization efforts.
The position is for remote work from anywhere in the world.
Requirements include: extensive knowledge of privacy technologies and methodologies, including authentication, identity management, cryptography and familiarity with core web technologies, such as HTML, HTTP, Web APIs, and scripting #hiring#webprivacy See more at: https://www.w3.org/news/2024/hiring-privacy-lead/
La causa relativa alla "modalità di navigazione in incognito" è un altro colpo legale alle tattiche di privacywashing di Google
Se un browser ti dice che sei "in incognito" e puoi "navigare in privato", potresti presumere che le tue attività online siano private e che nessuno stia raccogliendo i tuoi dati. Ma ti sbaglieresti.
Received a "data processing notice" from a company I've never heard of telling me that they have acquired my personal data and will sell it off willy-nilly unless I jump through their "deletion request" process. So I try to do that, and it doesn't work. So I contact their support, who tell me to email privacy@... So I do that and just get an automated response telling me to use the form that I already told them didn't work.
I mean, points for bothering to fulfil your Article 14 notification obligations, but I really shouldn't be having to spend my time chasing you around because you never bothered to test the scenario where someone might want to exercise their #GDPR rights...
As a bonus, the company is in the US (but presumably selling data to UK/EU businesses), so there's absolutely no chance of getting any kind of enforcement action against them. It's all just #PrivacyTheatre / #PrivacyWashing
Ah, just saw that #CPDPconference#CPDP2023 is happening this week so here’s your yearly reminder that this “privacy” conference is sponsored by Meta, Google, TikTok, etc.
In other words, it is bullshit.
Shame on those who continue to legitimise it by attending and speaking at it.
