Just got registered with a local GP in Ireland¹ and their first email states that all their staff are “formally trained in GDPR procedures and any information you give will be used in the strictest confidence.”
Their email address is @gmail.com

¹ This, in and of itself, is a bloody miracle these days, apparently, and only happened because it’s a new practice that’s just opening up.

The W3C publishing ethical web principles is like OPEC publishing ethical climate principles.
Who are the members of the W3C?
Google,
Facebook (Meta),
Amazon,
Adobe,
SoftBank,
Yahoo!,
…
The W3C is the standards body of surveillance capitalism.
Ethical principles? W3C? Don’t make me laugh!
If they had any ethics they’d have expelled their most prominent members starting with Google and Facebook.

Facebook and Anti-Abortion Clinics Are Collecting Highly Sensitive Info on Would-Be Patients – The Markup
The social media giant gathers data from crisis pregnancy centers through a tracking tool that works whether or not a person is logged in to their Facebook accountthemarkup.org
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.Johnny Ryan (Irish Council for Civil Liberties)
