@OECD Magarethe Vestager focuses on fairness at the centre of markets globally in an engaging speech to the Global Competition Forum

#bigdata #peronalisation @British_Airways just boarded for Geneva @UN IGE on consumer protection. Flight attendant came to my seat to give message: we noticed you had not flown with us so much lately, welcome back and let us know if we can do anything for you today! Nice touch?

[Amanda Long @Consint_DG]

@OECD I am delighted to be participating in the Global Competition Forum today in Fairness. Important debate. Competition enforcement can learn a lot from Consumer Protection on this. Fairness is embedded in many Consumer Protection regimes and is VITAL for consumers

[Amanda Long @Consint_DG]

@OECD excellent to be here today making sure consumers are heard in the Joint Meeting Competition and Consumer Protection Committees discussing ‘price personalisation in the digital economy’ and ‘quality considerations in the zero-price economy’.

[FernandoBlancoMuiño @FBlancoM]

Ya estamos en la reunión conjunta de los Comités de Competencia y Politicas del Consumidor de @OECD tratando dos temas: #PreciosPersonalizados y #PrecioCeroDeProductos Estamos en un nuevo mercado y necesitamos nuevas herramientas para proteger a los consumidores.

Delighted to be bringing the consumer voice to joint OECD-EU conference on IOT AI & product safety today #IPSW18 #EU4CONSUMERS #ProductSafety

A milestone for consumers as @ConsumerReports unveils its first ratings of digital privacy and security—allowing you to comparison shop for responsible data practices the way you do for price & safety. https://t.co/pccdL95Erk

[Consumers International @Consumers_Int]

#IoT toys like #HuggyBug can often have weak security features that allow hackers to access photos or audio, and even communicate directly with children. That's why were calling for #SecureToys that take #DataProtection and #Privacy seriously https://t.co/ntd3sbmQD3

[Amanda Long @Consint_DG]

The #DeceivedByDesign report from our member @Forbrukerradet raises some very concerning issues. Consumers must be given meaningful choice and control over their data. Immediate steps need to be taken to make this a reality https://t.co/PsKgXFhnq9 #GDPR #Privacy

[Kathy Brown @KathrynCBrown]

We have work to do to be sure that the Internet remains safe and secure for the people who rely on it everyday. What better partner than @Consint_DG to help create #BetterDigitalWorld https://t.co/RNVoIUmLaB https://t.co/Evolp5jJ5U

[Which? @WhichUK]

Data breaches, like the Dixons Carphone one today, are becoming increasingly common, but consumers lack the powers to ensure companies are held to account.

That's why the Government should give independent bodies the authority to seek collective redress on their behalf.

[Internet Society @internetsociety]

We need to make sure the #Internet is fair, open, safe and secure for everyone, say @KathrynCBrown and Amanda Long @Consint_DG in announcing a partnership between @internetsociety and @Consumers_Int https://t.co/BVLchYar5B #IoT #secureit #ShapeTomorrow

[Cyberchristine @cyberchristine]

The future of testing and truth —what @Tesla's Model 3 fix means for all consumers—and why it's a watershed moment for product safety, privacy, and performance in an IoT world. https://t.co/BwestIwGMR

It's a good idea to be extra wary about any emails or phone calls you may receive related to the Visa outage.

Unexpected financial events like this can be a magnet for scammers.

[Alex Neill @tweeneill]

Very good warning here 👇 https://t.co/nRfialHf6y
