Back in 2015, prior to #gdpr , #twitter was looking to #sellout their #user 's #data to make #money , by selling very accurate #data to #telco https://twitter.com/stevekrenzel/status/.. Luckily some of the #engineers had a #backbone , but it was a close call.
The #eu are actively trying to #doxx #anonymous #publications and #leaks through the use of abusing #domain #registrars ... https://www.theregister.com/2021/10/15/e.. People all clapped when they rolled out #gdpr - but this was just to test whether it would be possible to #enforce blanket #policy on the rest of the world... We really should push back on this.
Disgusting #darkpatterns used by #gdpr " #compliant " companies like #starbucks and #trustarc https://twitter.com/pixelscript/status/1.. Artificial delays added for #disabling #cookies is scummy at best.
Hmm, this is something to watch out for: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2.. The #uk plan to overhaul the #eu 's #gdpr with its own #dataprotectionact updates... It should definitely be possible to do better.
I'm of the opinion that #cookielaw by the #eu in the form of #gdpr has done more harm than good: https://noyb.eu/en/noyb-aims-end-cookie-..
