I lead Mozilla's *Privacy Not Included work
This year we conducted our first #PrivacyNotIncluded Cars category review, and it is by far the worst category we've ever tested.
Today we're pleased to share that US Senator @senmarkey has some questions for Big Auto, citing our report.👏

@BoseService Holy cow @bose, your customer service is abysmal. Bought a pair of headphones, confirmation email said they would be delivered yesterday, hours later on customer service and now one can tell me when I will get them. Feeling mighty frustrated.
@mozilla Les chercheur·se·s #ViePrivéeNonIncluse constatent des divergences entre les mentions de Sécurité des données de Google Play Store et les politiques de confidentialité, soit près de 80 % des applications examinées. Jen Caltrider @caltrider, responsable de *Privacy Not Included
We're living in a highly connected world where true privacy is hard to come by. @caltrider digs into why we need to keep getting louder when it comes to how our most personal information is being used 🗣️ #privacynotincluded
🗣 "Many companies are adapting “green washing” tactics from decades ago, affixing a veneer of privacy to their products but still scooping up, sharing, and selling our intimate data," writes @caltrider of @Mozilla.

Consumers are awash in a sea of untrustworthy apps, gadgets that are adapting “green washing” tactics from decades ago, affixing a veneer of #privacy but still scooping up, sharing, and selling our data. Call it “privacy washing.” @mozilla@caltrider https://t.co/U3guS5nS2u
We all have a fundamental right to privacy.
Mozilla’s lead privacy researcher @caltrider talks to @GMA about weak policies and misleading data sharing practices ⤵️
@caltrider:"Last time #abortion was illegal, we didn't have the internet. Digital #surveillance wasn't a factor. It is very much now. It's time that we really start to consider that there are harms when our #privacy is violated." #PregnancyApps

It's official: your period and/or pregnancy tracker will probably share your data with law enforcement. And they might even do it on purpose. @mozilla#privacynotincluded https://t.co/VVYVKKZqLf via @theregister
@mozilla@BridgetMarie@Dr_Inkster@caltrider@iamxavier Thanks so much for the awesome research, Jen and Misha! Very helpful and I love how you guys are able to bend the market towards privacy with these *PNI reports.
@jilliancyork If helpful, I suggest having a look at the 2020 @Forbrukerradet report 'Out of control' - where they reviewed some fertility and menstruation tracking apps!
[Indeed, in two years things change. Perhaps that could be a new use case for @mozilla's #PrivacyNotIncluded?]😃
“The vast majority of mental health and prayer apps are exceptionally creepy.
They track, share, and capitalize on users’ most intimate personal thoughts and feelings..."
