Privacy Maverick

Privacy provocateur.

[Lizzie Johnson @lizziejohnsonnn]

Picked up my notebook this morning — full of notes from a recent reporting trip — and got hit with another wave of grief over all the stories that now won't be told. I'm looking for work, preferably in Kyiv, should anyone need a dogged, empathetic reporter. DM/email.

@USAttyHabba Except Trump (a convicted felon) who had several cases dismissed because he was elected. Except for the nearly 1600 people charged and/or convicted & pardoned in relation to the Jan 6th assault on the Capitol. Except for those in the administration currently committing crimes.

Not a single student can do math at grade level in 53 Illinois schools. For reading, it’s 30 schools.

Ralph Ellison International School spends >$24,000/student—State labels it “commendable.” No students are proficient in reading or math #schoolchoice https://t.co/7RuPNasulE

1/4 Not sure who this may help or bring comfort to, but I wanted to share this: In July 2018 outside a Sacramento, California, DMV office, I met Tyré Nichols. He had been waiting 6+ hours in miserable 98-degree heat...

I wrote about the unhinged therapists making videos about their clients on TikTok, and how social media has smoothed over the ethical issues of certain professions turning their jobs into content https://t.co/u6kflar9NN

BREAKING 🚨: An iceberg the size of London has broken off the Antarctic ice shelf

WARNING: GRAPHIC ⚠️ Police in North Carolina shot a disabled man who was unarmed and complying with their orders.

A SWAT team woke Jason Harley Kloepfer up and told him to get outside, then they shot him as soon as he opened the door.

@0tt0M @EU_EDPB You can clean my car and I can get all the change you find. You’re conflating freedom to contract and right to data protection. This is exactly the point of the ruling. You can’t sign away your fundamental rights nor is this valid consent under #gdpr

[Privacy Maverick @PrivacyMaverick]

@0tt0M @EU_EDPB Just because you write some clause into the contract doesn’t mean it’s *necessary* for you to provide the service to the other party. If I hire you to wash my car and you write in that you get to keep all loose change, that doesn’t mean keeping the change is *necessary*. 1/2

BREAKING: We just released hundreds of documents showing how Arizona created a nationwide surveillance program to track Americans’ personal money transfers.

It's one of the largest government surveillance programs in recent history.

Another major case from the CNIL—Europe's Cookie Monster

It appears games company VOODOO has been fined for using iOS's IDFV (analytics) despite getting a "reject" signal from the ATT popup

Reminder that implementing ATT doesn't mean ePrivacy compliance

Mursal Nabizada was a member of the Afghan parliament. She stayed in Afghanistan. She did not leave after the Taliban took over the country.

MP Nabizada was shot dead in her home today.

Afghanistan is hell on earth for women.

There's a lot worth reading in the FB binding decision—probably the most succinct encapsulation of the EDPB's position is at the bottom of para 101

"The GDPR... treats personal data as a fundamental right... and not as a commodity data subjects can trade away through a contract"

Does this include how to lose $200 billion in 30 days?

When he’s not building rockets, boring tunnels beneath Los Angeles, or sending cars into space, Elon Musk reads a lot. Here are 9 nonfiction books he thinks we should all read.

@nataliabielova I’ll be following you there

@jduballreports When I was at an ISO meeting on privacy Amazon sent a security person. This is what security people don’t get, just because you can do this securely doesn’t mean you’re respecting people’s ability to control the use of their data. You can securely violate someone’s privacy.

Subscription based but maybe worth to buy the whole @TheEconomist issue. 2 articles: one about optical data-processing and this one about using photonic processing to accelerate #FullyHomomorphicEncryption

It’s okay because 20% of no revenue is €0

[Judd Legum @JuddLegum]

IMPORTANT: @elonmusk's new policy preventing linking to competitors is in DIRECT VIOLATION of European Union rules.

Penalty can be a fine of up to 20% of Twitter's annual revenue
