EuGH: Persönliche Daten müssen bei Bedarf gelöscht werden
tagesschau.de/ausland/europa/e…

Und dafür muss man nicht selbst hinterher rennen: Hat ein Unternehmen die Daten weiter gegeben, ist es auch verpflichtet, den Löschauftrag "weiter zu geben". Nix Opt-Out.

Europäischer Gerichtshof: Persönliche Daten müssen gelöscht werden

Wenn ein Kunde dies möchte, muss ein Telefonanbieter dafür sorgen, dass dessen weitergegebenen persönlichen Daten gelöscht werden. Der Kunde muss dafür nicht bei jedem Unternehmen einzeln anfragen - das hat der Europäische Gerichtshof entschieden.

Do you spot the trick?

This is a cookie banner shown before using Google search in some countries.

"Reject all" is a straightforward option. It appears in the same size and color as "accept all." It uses bullets, simple and concise language, and visualization. It has links for further info. So far, so good.

But there is a trick. Do you spot what is it?

Data privacy truly matters to your customers. It’s time to make it a core business value

Companies must be custodians of customer data. Otherwise, customers will opt out, or do business with other, more ethical businesses.

And here we have someone calling for kids to give up (the sense of) #privacy for global age verification... Look, kids are curious and need social status, hence they will get on #socialmedia sooner or later, so will age requirements make them understand what they're getting into? But I do agree on building a platform better suited for kids... Maybe have supervised clubs at schools running #ActivityPub instances in closed federations (connecting nearby schools)?

“EU GDPR enforcement against Big Tech is paralysed by Ireland’s failure to deliver draft decisions on cross-border cases. Ireland’s failure to uphold the GDPR has allowed surveillance to remain the default business model of the digital world.”

Have you tried the LibRedirect browser add-on?

It automatically redirects you to FOSS, privacy-focused Alternative Front-ends of big-tech sites/non private platforms.

There are alternative front-ends to YouTube, Twitter, Medium, Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, etc.

Each of these sites has a list of Alternative Front-ends' servers which you can select for the service to redirect to. You can also add Custom Instances.

So, when you click on a YouTube link, say youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXc… it automatically redirects you to invidious.snopyta.org/watch?v=… for example.

Firefox Addon: addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firef…

Chromium/Chrome/Edge: github.com/libredirect/libredi…

LibRedirect git link: github.com/libredirect/libredi…

Do check it out, it's fun and has a lot of interesting sections in it.

New #blog post: Two types of privacy. I define and compare the terms “Tracking reduction” and “Tracking avoidance”.

Excerpt:

When qualifying privacy recommendations with context, I think we should go further than describing threat models: we should acknowledge different types of privacy. “Privacy” means different things to different people. Even a single person may use the word “privacy” differently depending on their situation. Understanding a user’s unique situation(s), including their threat models, can inform us when we select the best of approach. How do we choose between reducing a footprint’s spread and size?


Feedback welcome, now matter how insignificant.

Two types of privacy

"Privacy" can mean different things in different contexts. Tracking-reduction and tracking-evasion represent different goals with some conflict and overlap.

"Frantic individual efforts to swat away digital intrusions will do too little. What’s needed, for all Americans, is a full legal and political reckoning with the reckless manner in which digital technology has been allowed to invade our lives. The collection, use and manipulation of electronic #data must finally be regulated and severely limited. Only then can we comfortably enjoy all the good that can come from these technologies."

Somehow I missed the option to tell ALL #iOS apps to screw off with tracking.

Disable this in Settings > Privacy > Tracking and you’re not even bothered with the dialog anymore, every request is just automatically denied. 👍🏻👍🏻

#SurveillanceCapitalism Spreading In #Schools, Sidelining Role Of #Teachers.

My Take: putting children under 24/7 monitoring, is harmful to natural development + #autonomy.

Ex: intense security (like recent proposal to add armed taser drones + force children to train with them) may do little more than put kids in more fear.

EU data protection authorities find that the consent popups that plagued Europeans for years are illegal. All data collected through them must be deleted. This decision impacts Google’s, Amazon’s and Microsoft’s online advertising businesses.
