Move to the cloud, they said. It's convenient, they said.
This is what happens when the company that owns the cloud computers decides to eliminate everything you've moved to their cloud

Shopify Canada Facing California Data Privacy Law suit for Lack of Consent https://t.co/pMoUcmbTJ3 @Shopify this is a great opportunity to point out the major flaw with California Consumer Protection Law, and Global Privacy Control (is a security not a privacy control)

Commercial transparency and consent. This is fake and deceptive permission based authorisation. #notConsent Time for Regulated Digital Privacy Transparency - Stop the Biggest Lie on the Internet, stop IAB, stealing intimate micro-data without consent.
How is this fake consent acceptable? This is a Chinese Video monitoring Service? No evidence this policy is understood, not a standard privacy framework, no controller identity risk on this notice, no governance! #NotConsent#breach@PrivacyPrivee@IPCinfoprivacy@citizenlab

@IEEEDigiPrivacy any framework for digital privacy worthy of the word Trust - would need to address this - lack of #DigtialTrust - not entrench them - and this includes Canadian Privacy Law @PrivacyPrivee - Why is this not raised wrt to Bill C27? Which legitimises RTB?

When they have no control over who they share data with they cannot have a legal basis to do so under the GDPR.
GDPR enforcement is broken. Otherwise, uncontrolled personal data sharing via the RTB bidstream would have been shut down years ago. Regulators must take action now.
It was a deliberate decision to create the RTB system in this way, and even worse, to delay GDPR enforcement and lobby hard against criticism for years.
Thousands of adtech firms and myriads of publishers and advertisers have no control over who they share personal data with.
I think it's the best-documented example of how personal data that is routinely processed to provide consumer services and enable digital advertising is exploited for completely unrelated purposes at scale.
The commercial data industry, publishers and advertisers are complicit.
